Chapter 7: The Ex-Wife’s Call

Half a month later, on a weekend, Allen had a sudden urge to cook himself, so we didn’t eat out. He was busy in the kitchen alone while I watched TV in the living room. Allen’s phone, which was on the coffee table, rang. I glanced at it and saw it was his ex-wife, Samantha.

I called out to him, telling him about the call. Allen put down the vegetables he was washing and came over. Seeing the caller ID, he frowned and hung up, explaining to me: “I’ve got nothing to say to her.”
