even inviting Jennie to stay at the house, trying to play matchmaker.
However, things didn’t go as she had hoped.
Milo became increasingly picky about food, and his appetite decreased significantly
Worse still, his temper became erratic, often flying into a rage over trivial matters.
Once, he spent an entire day searching the storage room for some high school memento.
⚫ended up taking out his frustration on the servants when he couldn’t find it.

A couple of days ago, he had even chased Jennie out in front of everyone when she entered his bedroom without permission.
They had a huge argument, and Jennie, losing control of her emotions, fell down the stairs, suffering a comminute
her ankle.
The old Mrs. Quinn, angered by her son’s accusation that she was ruining his marriage, suffered a heart attack. That ng an ambulance rushed both women to the hospital.
Now, they were still recovering in the hospital.
As for Milo Quinn, looking at his haggard and lifeless appearance, I guessed he hadn’t had a good night’s sleep in a long time.
This reminded me of how I felt when I lost our child – equally miserable.
Milo Quinn apologized to me, admitting that he finally understood why I had asked for a divorce.
He mentioned the seven years of my silent compromises in our marriage.
“Trealize now that you’ve completely lost faith in me
I gently shook my head:
“Losing faith happened two years ago. My decision to divorce was made after careful consideration.”
Losing faith isn’t the scariest thing. What’s truly terrifying is the despair that follows, and the complete letting go that comes after.
Looking into his eyes, I said calmly: “Milo Quinn, I’m already working towards a new life. You should sort out your emotions and start a new journey too!
He looked around, then gave a bitter laugh:
Do you remember how I came here years ago to take you away? Even after all this time, I still dream of you from back then.
He admitted that he had neglected me in the past, but insisted he had never betrayed me,
“In my entire life, I’ve only ever loved you”
I retorted: “Then what do you consider cheating?”
“You were right beside me, yet you could be easily called away by another woman’s phone call. You enjoyed her admiration while expecting me to always haw hot meals ready for you. This isn’t love, it’s unfairness towards me.”
I looked directly at Milo Quinn, my tone firm.
A flash of regret passed through Milo’s eyes, and they reddened slightly: “I know it was my fault. Aria, give me one more chance, I don’t want to
give up on the vows we once made”
He mentioned the promise we had made at his father’s funeral:
“You said you would stay with me forever, that we would live and die together. Have you forgotten all of that?”
Those vows we once made, who didn’t say them sincerely at the time?
But people’s hearts change. He changed first, and I could only change in response.
At that moment, the doorbell rang. Lopened the door to find my young neighbor.
Seeing Milo Quinn inside, he asked if I needed any help.
Milo suddenly became agitated and threw a punch at the young man,
Clearly, he had misunderstood the relationship between me and my neighbor.
The two men instantly began grappling with each other. Unable to stop them, I coldly said: “If you want to fight, go ahead. But don’t expect me
to take responsibility for your injuries”
Then I slammed the door shut.
As for the outcome of their fight, I didn’t bother to find out
I only knew that after that, Milo Quinn never appeared in my life again.
