Chapter 9
"Give me your ring."
...
Kate blinked a few times at the man who opened his palm before her. She didn't understand what he said just now.
"What?"
"I said, give me your ring. I will throw it away."
"T—Throw it away?!" Kate quickly pulled her hand away and covered it with the other. She became sober instantly. "Why would I throw away my wedding ring? Are you crazy?!"
"No, I'm not," as the man spoke his voice didn't falter. His deep green eyes looked into hers, reassuring her for some reason, telling her not to worry about anything. "You told me that you don't want to reconcile with that scum, then let me help you move on by throwing that wedding ring away."
"What the—" Kate was startled by his sudden demand, she thought he was joking, but he looked serious.
His palm remained open, ready to accept the ring from Kate.
