'' Are you going to divorce your wife like that? I mean, aren't you both close to each other?'' Noir asked. The waiter came and brought the food. '' Yes, but not so physically or emotionally. We don't even share one bed. And I would've had a hard time thinking of divorce if it was some time ago. But I have found something now,'' he confessed.'' What? What made you take this drastic decision like this in such a short time?''.'' I have seen divorce papers which she's hiding very much carefully. Even she wants to divorce me, that's what helped me make this decision. We both seem to be fed up with each other. So it's better if I help her and leave her life when she's strong enough to stand on her own.
