Although she had been prepared for a long time, Luke Perkins's words were like a storm, leaving both of them feeling overwhelmed and frightened.
His raised voice seemed to be trying to break open Olivia Taylor's head and pour all his negative emotions straight inside.
She remained silent, not uttering a single word, trying to fight Luke's rage with silence.
"Olivia," Luke seemed determined not to let her off the hook, "Did you really agree to this mess?"
Olivia knew it wasn't the right time to admit that she was the one who proposed the divorce, so she simply nodded and said, "Father, Tobias and I... we think it's better for us to part ways."
After hearing Olivia's words, Luke sighed heavily as if his anger had suddenly vanished, "Olivia, at least you still call me 'Father'."
His fiery temper seemed to have dissipated in an instant, and he now appeared more like a lonely, helpless old man.
"I thought once you and Tobias separated, you'd forget this old man."
