*Jack, I’ll say it one more time, there’s no need for our marriage to continue, my voice was calm,
He was stunned for a moment, then furrowed his brows. “Emily, what are you making a fuss about now? I don’t agree!”
“Making a fuss?” I repeated the word, a sarcastic smile tugging at my lips.
“Jack, do you think I’m making a fuss?”
His expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
“Emily, you know I love you. It’s just that sometimes I get too busy with work and neglect your feelings. But my heart has always been with you.”
He tried to win me back with sweet words, but those words sounded so hollow to me.
I shook my head, no longer paying attention to his excuses.
“Jack, stop trying to placate me with your rhetoric.”
At this moment, Jack’s mother stepped forward. She grabbed my hand, her tone carrying a hint of pleading.
“Emily, listen to me. It’s common for men to socialize outside. You should be more understanding. Why don’t you two have a child? Once you have a child, this family will be stable.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Sophia’s face darkened. She glared at me hatefully, then suddenly wiped her eyes and ran out.
“I can’t live anymore…” she sobbed.
Jack instinctively wanted to chase after her, but his steps halted under my cold gaze.
He turned back to look at me, trying to explain: “Emily, I’m not abandoning you. I just can’t stand by and watch Sophia do something foolish…
I smiled faintly, not refuting, just quietly watching him. “Jack, you can go.”
He was stunned for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and turned to chase after Sophia.
I turned to look at Jack’s parents who were still standing there.
“Your son has left, why are you still here?”
I rolled my eyes.
Jack’s mother glared at me, grinding her teeth.
Muttering something about how I would regret this sooner or later, she pulled Jack’s father out of my house.
I immediately slammed the door shut with a loud “bang“.
