His eyes turned red with anger as he yelled, “Sophia, what do you mean? I went to care for Nancy so I could learn how to take care of babies … for our future children! And now you want a divorce for such a ridiculous reason? Have you gone crazy?”
I ignored his shouting and kept my expression calm. Instead, I took the divorce papers from my bag and handed them to him.
“Sign it. We’ll meet at the Town Hall tomorrow morning.”
Everyone around us was shocked, staring at me in disbelief. But I couldn’t care less. I held the divorce papers before turning to leave. They couldn’t believe that a couple everyone admired could fall apart so suddenly.
Martin looked stunned, clearly not expecting me to have already prepared the documents. When my mother saw how serious I was, she realized I wasn’t joking. She was the first to pick up the divorce papers from the table. After reading them, her face darkened.
“Sophia, are you really going through with this? Both you and Martin have been married for ten years. Everything between you seemed fine. What happened?”
Everyone tried to talk me out of it, even Martin’s friends.
