When I woke up again, I found that Jack had called me twenty–six times.
What was he in such a hurry for?
I rubbed my temples and called him back, “Hmm?”
Jack quickly picked up the phone, his voice hoarse, “Emma, you want to divorce me?!”
Become SVIP! Road all SVIP stories
I replied calmly, “You should have already signed, right? It’s a done deal. I wish you and Secretary Scarlett success with that big Spanish.
project soon.”
Jack’s tone became agitated, “Yes, I signed it, but I have so many documents to sign every time. How could I possibly read each one? Listen, Emma, you’re my wife, and Tommy is my son. Neither of you is leaving me! Where are you now? I’ll come pick you up and bring you home.”
I gripped my phone tightly, “We’re already divorced. Please don’t bother me anymore. If you miss Tommy, you can occasionally come to my family’s house in New York to see him.”
With that, I hung up the phone.
“Mommy! I want to eat Mrs. Johnson’s sea urchin and lobster egg custard,” Tommy ran in from outside.
I kissed his little face, “Tommy, be good. You can have sea urchin and lobster egg custard at grandma’s house too. Mrs. Wilson’s cooking is
even better than Mrs. Johnson’s.”
My carefree days at my parents‘ home only lasted seven days before an uninvited guest arrived at the house.
“Mom, can you help me persuade Emma? She tricked me by slipping the divorce agreement into my documents. I signed it without reading the content. Emma is my wife. I can understand her throwing a tantrum and going back to her parents‘ house, but divorce isn’t a game. I haven’t
been able to eat or sleep well these past few days, and it’s seriously affected my work progress, Jack sighed endlessly in the living room.
The usual gentle smile was gone from my mother’s face, “Jack, I’ve watched both you and Daniel grow up. Why do I feel like I don’t know you anymore as an adult? You say our Emma is throwing a tantrum, but you know better than anyone why she’s upset with you, don’t you?”
Jack still tried to defend himself, “Mom, yes, Secretary Scarlett and I have gotten close, but it’s all for work.”
I couldn’t bear to listen to his glib excuses anymore. I came down from the second floor and looked at him, “Jack, Scarlett told me that day that she’s pregnant with your child! She doesn’t want her child to have any siblings to compete for the family fortune. She deliberately gave Tommy a sandwich with peanut butter, knowing he’s allergic. She wanted to harm Tommy!”
Jack shook his head in disbelief, “How is that possible? Scarlett said she loves children. How could she intentionally harm a child? She said she wants to have at least three…”
He suddenly realized what he had said and fell silent.
At least three children?
Scarlett was really willing to sacrifice herself for Jack!
I remember when I gave birth to Tommy, it was a difficult delivery. I was in pain for a day and a night, and even suffered a tear. When I came out of the delivery room, I cried and said I would never have another child. At that time, Jack’s smile faded, but he quickly covered it up with a fake smile, “Although I’ve always hoped for many children and blessings, I’ll listen to Emma. An only child is good too!”
Looking back now, Jack had been dissatisfied with me for a long time.
He just hid it well, and tried to fulfill his desire for “many children and blessings” by having children with other women.
I chuckled softly, “Scarlett suits you well, Jack. Since you chose to betray our marriage, why bother running here to eat this tasteless grass you’ve already left behind?”
