Chapter 2
I dreamed about Luna again.
She told me she was in pain, crying.
I knelt and prayed that Luna could rest in peace.
If Luna had come to the military area or I had stayed in my hometown, she might not have died.
António could take his family to the military area, but he gave the quotas to Dorthy.
He said that folk in our hometown would gossip about Dorthy’s divorce, so he brought Dorthy and Allen over.
Afraid that others would look down on Allen, Antonio even let Allen have his last name.
Then, I insisted on going to the military area. Antonio agreed, but he didn’t let Luna go, afraid that Allen would get jealous.
“Allen sees me as his birth dad. He can’t accept Luna yet. Tell Luna to wait.”
But Luna was Antonio’s biological daughter. How could he do that?
When I left, Luna said with tears in her eyes, “Mom, take care of yourself and come get me as soon as possible.”
When I woke up, my tears wet the pillow.

Some noise came from outside.
Antonio was drunk, leaning against Dorthy, who was supporting him.
“Antonio, are you going to Grace’s room? It’s late. You may wake her up…
Antonio sneered, “Why would I go to her room? She was bad to Allen.”
Dorthy got him into her room.
Soon, I heard Dorthy’s moans.
I stayed up all night in my room with a blank look.
In the morning, I made hangover soup for Antonio.
He looked guilty.
“I got back late and was afraid of waking you up, so I shared the bed with Allen.”
I responded in a flat tone, “OK.”
Since I didn’t pursue it, Antonio was relieved.
I took out the application. “Luna hasn’t fully recovered. I’ll go back to stay for a while. Sign this. I need a consent.”
Without looking, Antonio signed it.
He felt a little happy.
“OK. Go. Take care of our kid.”

I revealed a self–mocking smile.
He didn’t even know what illness Luna had caught.
To let me leave early, he even used his power.
The next day, I went to Craig Griffith, Antonio’s superior.
When I took out the divorce application, Craig wasn’t surprised at all.
“Have you made up your mind?”
I nodded expressionlessly.
He sighed.
“Fine. Antonio is too nice to that woman. I warned him many times, but he just didn’t listen.
“You’re a great woman. It’s his loss. Rest assured. I’ll facilitate the divorce.”
I bowed to Craig and thanked him.
“Mr. Griffith, I booked a ticket 5 days later. Would I get an approval then?
“Besides, please don’t tell Antonio yet.”
Craig had been in this job for a long time, so he figured it out immediately.
He put down his tea.
“Doesn’t he know about the application? Then how did you let

him sign it…”
Craig didn’t say the rest of the words, with sympathy in his eyes.
“No worries. Come and get the result in 3 days.”
