Kristel was noosed from her sleep when the light of the sun’s rays caressed her cheeks. Fortunately, she had a great sleep the entire night,
“Dad I overcome my fear in thunder? Maybe drowning in her sorrow helps her to forget about it.
But as she looked at the space beside her, she was upset that Galvin spent the night with Fiona, even though it wasn’t her right to feel that way
Wake up, Kristel Reality is shining brightly, like the moming sun rays!” She slapped both of her cheeks and scolded herself.
Yesterday, she felt arget for getting sucked in the rain. She worried about the possibility of getting sick and the potential ham it could cause to the baby growing
“Love, are you hungry now!

“Let’s for some yummy breakfast!” She was suddenly craving some pancakes with strawberries as syrup at he?
As Kristel was planning her berakdast, she rolled over and realized that the other side of the bed was still warm. “Did I move around the bed last night?“..
She wondered as she was not like a clock when the slept. oblivious that Galvincame home last night, Kristel shrugged off her shoulder and dismissed any thoughts regarding it
he got out of bed and proceeded outside. As Kristel stretched her arms and took a deep berath, she was pleasantly surprised by the delicious aroma of a pancake
She had just craved it, but someone was actually making one inch But who could it be?
Kristel assumed Gloria had sent a maid to prepare breakfast for all. But to her surprise, she found Calvin lipping the pancale on the pan.
She was overjoyed for a moment.
orality slapped her almost immediately.
Galvin had been married to hit for a year but had never shown any initiative to cook for her. He was only willing to prepare meals for Fiona
Feeling devastated, Kristel withdrew from the situation and sat at the dining table. She decided to wait for Galvin to finish cooking breakfast for Fiona before making her meal
To her surprise, Galvin came to her, holding a tray of a glass of warm milkand a plate of pancakes with small slices of strawberries as the toppings.
“What are you doing?” Kristel asked Galvin when he was about to place the tray before her–there was a hint of indifference in her voice that twitched Galvin’s
eyebrows
Of course, she was in disbelief that he had just prepared her brealdast when they had already divorced, which saddened her greatly
Despite her indifference, Galvin, on the other hand, attempts to liven the atmosphere. He smiled and explained, “I’m bringing you your brealdast. I didn’t know you’d be awake already and come down. You should wait for me then”
Kristel was stunned by his statement, but she didn’t appear pleased but maintained a poker face.
“You’ve never been this thoughtful, you know? How would I know you’re preparing my breakfast? How ironic, isn’t it?‘ Kristel chuckled inwardly.
She doesn’t know what’s gotten to him. It this was his way of appeasing her after he yelled and shoved her yesterday, unfortunately, it did not move her.
“You need not do this, Galvin. I can make my breakfast. Why don’t you bring them to Fiona instead? She must be starving now.”
And speaking of the devil, Galvin’s phone on the table rang, Kristel glanced at it and saw Fiona’s name flashing on the phone screen.
“Tsk Kristel neered in her heart, then ignored it. She got up from the chair, preparing to head for the kitchen, but Galvin grabbed her arm.
“What are you doing?” she asked Galvin. She shows clear signs of displeasure as he touches her face,
“Are you jealous of Fiona?”
Kristel was surprised by the question, but she kept her face emotionless as she didn’t know whether to laugh or cry
Feeling ridiculous, Kristel scoffed and retorted,
“Why would I? I’ve already signed our divorce agreement. Doesn’t it mean we have nothing to do with each other anymore but go separate ways?”
