I was silent for a moment, recalling that unpleasant gathering experience.
Back then, I was like an outsider, watching them chat and laugh, feeling out of place myself.
But this time, it didn’t matter anymore. I was going to get a divorce anyway, so I decided not to back down.
The gathering was at a high–end restaurant. As soon as I entered, I saw Jack and Sophia standing together, their smiles so glaring.
Seeing me, Sophia immediately came over enthusiastically, but her eyes flashed with provocation.
“Oh, sister Emily is here too, she deliberately raised her voice, as if wanting everyone to know of iny presence. “Long time no see, you and
Jack are still so in love”
I looked at her coldly, ignoring her provocation.
The gathering began, but I was isolated,
Sophia and her friends deliberately excluded me, and no one prepared a seat for me.
“What’s wrong, no one arranged a seat for you?” A sarcastic female voice rang out. It was one of Sophia’s friends, deliberately raising her voice so that everyone around could hear.
I snorted, “Yeah, I don’t know who planned this gathering. They can’t even handle the most basic tasks.”
Sophia’s friend’s face stiffened, about to say something more.
Ryan, a usually friendly acquaintance, walked over with a hint of apology on his face.
“Emily, I’m so sorry, I didn’t notice you didn’t have a seat. Come, sit with me.”
I looked at him, about to follow Ryan to his seat, when Sophia stopped me.
“Ryan, what’s wrong with you? There are empty seats over there, why squeeze in here?” Sophia deliberately raised her voice, drawing the attention of those around.
Ryan looked troubled. He glanced at Sophia, then at me, and finally chose to remain silent.
I was fed up inside, thinking I might as well go all out.

Just as so many people were here, it was the perfect time to announce the divorce.
So I walked in front of everyone, took a deep breath, and then announced loudly: “Everyone, I think I need to tell you something. Jack and I are already divorced”
As soon as I finished speaking, the entire restaurant fell silent.
All eyes were focused on me, including Jack’s.
He looked at me in shock, clearly not expecting me to say such a thing in this setting.
I looked straight into his eyes and continued: “I think everyone here knows why I’m divorcing. I don’t need to say more.”
After saying this, I deliberately gave a contemptuous look at Jack, then at Sophia.
Seeing their ashen faces, I felt satisfied.
I turned and left the restaurant.
