Furious
John trembled with rage as he dialed his wife’s number for the fourth time. She didn’t answer again. He didn’t know that her phone had gone down, of course, so he tried a fifth time. When this attempt also proved unsuccessful, John decided to call another number.
When John called his lawyer, the lawyer welcomed him warmly as usual. John explained everything, and then he asked for something important. “Can you get the papers ready for the divorce?” he asked simply. The lawyer repeated what John said, surprised by how quickly John wanted to make this decision.
“Are you really sure about this?” he asked John, wanting to be sure. “Maybe you should talk to her first; she might have a good reason,” the lawyer suggested, trying to stay positive.
John took a few deep breaths at the advice of his lawyer and decided to call Chloe again.
