Boom——!
Sean Thorne's emotionally flat statement hit Whitney Lynch like a thunderbolt.
A ringing filled her ears as she stared in shock at the stranger that was her husband, unable to utter a single word.
Georgia Thorne, who had been silent all along, trembled and dropped her chopsticks on the table, making a crisp sound that added to the dangerous atmosphere.
"Dad?"
As an outsider, May Sloane listened with a sense of satisfaction.
Tiana Thorne was also surprised, looked at her father, slightly moved her lips but said nothing.
She understood her father; he had always been composed and steady. If he hadn't already made up his mind, he would never have spoken such weighty words.
Whitney Lynch still seemed to think she heard wrong, asked tremblingly: "What... what did you say?"
Sean Thorne met her astonished eyes directly, word by word: "Divorce."
