Chapter 5
“You said I didn’t have a mother to teach you, but you did. Your mother is awesome. She taught two beasts.
I was still going crazy and the house was weird and scary. Maybe they had never seen such a scene before. Maybe the
picture of me with blood on my hands was too shocking.
Everyone shut up.
I hugged the trembling Archer and explained what happened that day in his
ear.
Archer hugged my neck and whispered in my ear, “Mom, I know you won’t lie to me. Only if I show that I hate you will they call you. I miss you.”
My nose was sour and I rubbed my forehead against Archer‘ s chest.
Keith’s sister‘ s scream broke the quiet

balance in the room. Yolanda covered her
chest and asked Keith to divorce me.
Cynthia stroked Yolanda’s back to help her calm down, her eyes were proud and
arrogant.
Keith s sister pointed at me and cursed, cursing my ancestors for eighte
general yelled that keith should give me a lesson.
Keith’s fists clenched and unclenched and
he squeezed out a few words from his
teeth. “Ruby, apologize.”
Everyone thought Keith would be furious and so did 1.
But the result was unexpected.
I hugged Archer and took out the divorce agreement from my pocket.
“I’m not wrong, so I can’t apologize. Keith, please sign the document. We re getting divorced.”
I walked out with Archer in my arms. Keith

grabbed Archer with bloodshot eyes.
“Ruby, stop making trouble.”
He tore the divorce agreement into pieces.
Archer cried for his mother in Keith‘ s arms. Keith looked at him with murderous intent and Archer shut up.
I suddenly remembered the first time I saw him and Cynthia as a couple two years ago.
I shouted at him to get out. He looked at Coco with the same look.
Coco disappeared later. Keith said that he sent Coco away because I was not well- behaved.
Since then, I had been afraid of arguing with Keith. But this time, I was not afraid. Because Archer had more people to protect him besides me. I was just the one with the most ordinary power among those people.
I took out another divorce agreement and put it on the messy table.

“Keith, don‘ t threaten me. You can call me when you think about it. Don’t contact me again.”
I turned and left and Keith chased me with blood on his hands. His voice was rarely panicked. “Ruby, don‘ t leave me, I can’t live without you.”
I looked at the white pajamas stained by his blood–red palms, leaving marks and curled my lips in disgust.
Cynthia caught up with him, holding a band–aid in her hand. She pulled Keith’s injured palm and carefully pasted it on him.
I looked at this scene and couldn t help. laughing. “Keith, you are so dirty.”
Keith was stunned, because the last time he heard me say this was six years ago.
That day, my father passed away and wanted to see me for the last time before
he died.

I stood in front of his bed, my eyes full of disgust, watching him grab the corner of my clothes and kept talking about how sorry he was for me.
I said word by word with disgust,
“Nicholas, you are so dirty.”
I left with my sleeves in my hand and stepped on the accelerator to the
maximum.
Keith ran after the car for a long distance until I could no longer hear him shouting
my name.
I felt the wind blowing and a smile rose on my face.
“So cool!”
