Stars In His Eyes

Indeed, she always acted one way in front of him and another behind his back. Despite promising time and again to behave and obey, she constantly disappointed him. It was she who single-handedly shattered the trust between them.

"As for our divorce, let’s not tell father about it just yet. We shouldn’t be causing him to worry about us at home. That wouldn’t be very filial. He’s the only father I have so I hope he’s well."

But in the end, he didn’t ask any questions or say anything. He simply took off his military coat and draped it over He Zhilan. Then, he turned around and walked away. In just a few seconds, he disappeared from sight.

The coat still carried his warmth and scent, bringing warmth to He Zhilan who was lightly dressed.
