Chapter 10 Let''s Make a Deal


    Why would Vince Yi call? After being suspicious for a few seconds, I pressed the answer button, and


    said "hello" faintly. Then I heard the deep and maic voice again.


    "Why are you weak?" Vince''s ears were so sensitive which made me admired.


    "If you have been hungry for one or two days, let’s see will you have any strength?" I jokingly smiled


    weakly. When I was face to face with Vince, I might not be so rxed. I was able to make joke like this


    on the phone.


    "Are you on a hunger strike?" He was taken aback at the phone.

    "Yes, I went on a hunger strike. I wanted to get freedom by death, but it''s too ufortable to be


    hungry." After I said that exaggeratedly, I evenughed, "I found that I don''t have the willpower to lose


    weight."


    "You don''t need to lose weight." Vince''s indifferent voice echoed in my ears, and I wanted to cry


    inexplicably. I stayed silent for a long time holding the phone.


    After Vince found that I stayed in silence, he asked, "You are not faint because of hunger, are you?"


    I shook my head, knowing that he couldn’t see it, but I still habitually shook it a few times, “I’m not


    dizzy, I’m too hungry for these two days, and I’ve figured it out clearly. My life is my own. I must not


    torture myself. The stupid woman looking forward to her husband''s return has starved to death."


    As soon as I finished the words, I could vaguely hear Vinceughing faintly on the other side of the


    phone.


    Should this unsympathetic man couldugh at the news that I was starving to death.


    "Mr. Yi..." I called him softly and politely, "Can I make a deal with you?"


    "What deal, tell me about it?"


    "Find a way to help me divorce." I don''t know what I was thinking. Why would I choose to believe in


    Vince? Maybe I was tired of such a recurring life and want to be relieved.


    "What will I get?" he asked on the other side of the phone. Businessmen talked about mutual benefit.


    Who would do it without any benefit?


    "If I owe you a favour, I will pay it back. I can''t do anything illegal, but I will do everything else as long


    as you ask me." With the courage I never had before, I said that to a man who I had only met once and


    contacted twice. I didn’t know whether Vince would agree.


    "Will you agree if I want to sleep with you?" When Vince''s words came into to my ears via mobile


    phone, my whole body was stiff for a few seconds, and I was unable to think about the meaning of his


    words.


    Was he obsessed with my body, or did he think that I was beautiful and wanted to hook up with me for


    a while? I can''t guess what Vince thought, but I wanted to divorce Jerry Lu too much.


    His ruthlessness, betrayal, and violence were vivid to me and made me bitterly disappointed. I would


    rather fight an unknown future than living with a conspirator like him.


    "Yes." After I hesitated for a while, I responded him seriously. Vince was also quiet on the phone. I


    didn''t know why I couldn''t hear his voice but still didn''t hang up the phone. Was he kidding just now,


    and now he regretted it?


    "Wait for Jerry to ask you for divorce!" Vince said these words after a long silence. I sat on the bed in a


    daze, looked forward with blurred eyes.


    I didn’t say thank you, because I used myself to make a deal just to leave Jerry. I’m waiting for Vince to


    realize his words. One day, two days, until a weekter, Jerry opened my door vigorously, stepped


    forward, and threw a stack of A4 paper heavily on my face.


    The paper spread out and fell to the ground. I looked down. One of the papers read "Divorce


    Agreement". I bent down and picked them up one by one. When I was picking up a paper at Jerry''s


    feet, he pulled me up violently, and sternly questioned me, "You can''t wait to get divorced, so you let


    Vince to mess up withpany?"


    I didn''t say a word, but stared at Jerry angrily.


    "Nance Mo, in the past three years, I treated you well. I never thought you would be so terrible?" Jerry''s


    wordspletely irritated me. I shook off his hand vigorously and stepped back sneering.


    "I''m terrible?" Iughed at myself, "Do you think you are kind? You said that you have hidden illness. I


    forgive you and was ready for a marriage like to''s. I understood it that we don’t need to have sex


    being husband and wife. But what about you? Your mother treated me worse than she treated a dog. I


    endured it. You hit me. I knew maybe it was because you were too angry. But what I can’t understand is


    your betrayal. You lied to me for three years and let me sleep with someone to save yourpany. If it


    weren''t you, how would I know Vince? After all, you asked for all this?"


    "Do you have conscience? Haven’t I treat your family well these years?" Jerry yelled at me.


    "My conscience was eaten by dogs. What about you? What was your conscience eaten by?"
