I nodded, sensing something was off. I quickly told the students to leave.
They reluctantly said their goodbyes, but when they saw the police, they had no choice but to leave.
After they were gone, the police explained, “Your husband, Edward Scott, is suspected of killing his former colleague Molly Wright. We can’t locate him. Do you have any information on his whereabouts?”
“What?” I feigned shock, but inside, I felt a rush of satisfaction.
He really did it! He gave me such a big surprise!
“After he returned from detention, we had a huge argument, and then he left. He hasn’t contacted me since.”
I took out the divorce agreement. I had already signed it, but the section for his signature was still blank.

I relaxed, allowing him to remove his hand from my mouth.
When Edward saw that I wasn’t struggling anymore, he finally let go, and I let out a sigh of relief.
“When did you get back?”
Edward lowered his head. “Two days ago. I only came out when you were asleep at night.”

“To get some water”
I made my way to the living room, and Edward followed closely behind, keeping a wary eye on me.
