But soon, Anya told me that Gregory and
Linda Claire had gotten married.
They were going to have a wedding reception.
I wasn’t surprised.
Two down–on–their–luck former lovers, with
a child as a bond, reuniting was normal.
I was curious how Gregory, making only a few
thousand dollars a month and burdened with
debt, could afford a reception.
But soon I found out.
Anya somehow found a video of Gregory and
Linda Claire’s “reception.”
It was a family gathering at Gregory’s family
home.
Gregory’s mother stole the show.
In front of everyone, she demanded Linda
Claire kneel and greet her.

I couldn’t understand her obsession with
those outdated norms.
The Qing Dynasty was long gone.

Nathan had been with me, helping me.
He’d even hired a lawyer to draw up the
divorce agreement.
I hadn’t thought much of it, busy with the
show, thinking he wanted me to focus and
make him money.
But the show was over, he’d made a fortune,
and he still hadn’t left.
I wanted to ask him, but Anya stopped me,
complaining about my lack of emotional
intelligence.
“Can’t you see he’s still in love with you?”
In love with me?
I wanted to deny it but then realized I wasn’t
the tired housewife anymore..
But I didn’t know if I had the courage to start
<
another relationship.
