As he watched Ruth Dawn walking away toward Thirteen Hall, William Cole's heart sank.
Over the past few days, he had cooled down and knew that they would eventually get divorced.
He just hadn't expected that day to come so quickly.
Unable to control himself, William dashed forward and grabbed Ruth's hand.
He yelled out, "Are you really going to Capital City?"
Ruth paused slightly.
In the depths of her eyes, a hint of hesitation flashed.
William noticed this hesitation: "You don't want to leave, do you?"
"What are you doing, you rascal?
Let go of my daughter now!" Eloise Torres appeared. They were standing at the entrance of Thirteen Hall, with large and small bags full of luggage.
It seemed they really planned to leave Midocen and move to Capital City.
Eloise stepped forward and forcefully unwrapped William's arm from Ruth: "What are you still clinging to my daughter for?"
