Norris Moore's voice was hoarse as she asked, "Do you really intend to keep this from me for the rest of my life?"
Trenton Smith covered the instant noodles with the lid and said nothing, just looking at her.
Although he didn't speak, she knew the answer from his silent expression and eyes.
Yes, Norris Moore, I want you to never know. I'll never let you know why loving you leads to leaving you, why I won't have a child that belongs to both of us, why I want to push you far away, planning never to see you again in this lifetime.
Norris's eyes turned red with anger, and she turned her head away without saying a word as she sat on the sofa.
Trenton handed her the fork for the instant noodles, but she threw it away in front of him. He pushed the bowl closer to her, and she overturned it in front of him too.
The splashing hot water stained a few red patches on his fair hand. Trenton glanced at her and quietly swept the floor with a broom.
