Sally thought that since we were rich, | should focus on the family. But this time, | wouldn't just sit at has a
housewife, no matter what. Money was okay, but feeling worthless and disrespected hurt.
| stood my ground. “Sally, I've made up my mind. | have to work. Yvonne is older now; if she’s bored, I'll hire a
tutor for her.”
“No way!” Yvonne shot back. “I'm not taking lessons.”
Sally didn’t look pleased with my stubbornness.
Just then, Jared showed up at the door. He was wearing a suit with a white shirt, looking all professional. When he
saw me, he seemed to remember our fight last night, and his face instantly went cold.
“Daddy...” Yvonne, like a sweet little bird, flew into his arms. “Why are you here? Don’t you have work?”
Jared scooped her up and gave her a peck on the cheek. “Daddy just wanted to see you.”
Yvonne asked, “Can you takeout for lunch?”

After things went bad betweenand Jared, Yvonne stuck to Jared like glue. Luckily, he was always patient and
loving with
her.
“Sure, Mom, you two cwith us.” Jared walked to the elevator with Yvonne in his arms.
Sally and | trailed behind, lugging a few bags, and squeezed into the elevator. It was tiny and packed. Sally
shovedback, and | ended up pressed against Jared.
At spoint, | stopped seeing Jared as my husband. Being close to him madeuneasy, like he was just
someone | knew.
In the basement parking lot, Jared put Yvonne in his car, gave the driver the address, and closed the door.
“I'll ride with you,” Jared said to me.
Sally had a driver, too. So, all three cars took off together.
Jared sat next toin the passenger seat. He was quiet for a bit, lost in thought.
| focused on driving and stayed quiet.
“I was down yesterday; don’t take it personally,” Jared said, turning to look atas we stopped at a red light.
| gripped the steering wheel tightly, holding back my emotions. In my previous life, his apology would've made
But now, his words didn’t mean a thing. I didn’t want to show weakness in front of him. | just wanted to talk
about divorce calmly. “I'm not overthinking it,” | said coolly.
Jared stared at me. He must be shocked that | did not cry or blhim.
After all, before | “cback,” | cried at least three times in two months. Each time, | begged for his care and
kindness, like a fish out of water without his love.
“No more divorce talk,” Jared said firmly.
| chuckled softly. “Not talking won't solve our problems.”

“What problems?” Jared asked, his voice getting harsher.
| paused for a few seconds. “Our life is boring, like plain water. I'm not a great mom and don’t have a real career.
You're always away working for weeks. I'm tired of this cycle.”
Jared went quiet after that. But he didn’t get it. He scoffed, “Life must be too easy for you to think like that.”
| froze and glanced at him. Jared kept going, “Forget your obscure major. Can it get you a decent job after
college? Even if you did, what difference would you make?”
| gripped the steering wheel tighter. What he said was kinda true.
Jared scoffed, “Careers aren't built on dreams and chatter. I'm swamped with work and stressed out. Money
doesn’t just appear. You wantto get you? Then learn from other wives and see my struggles.
“I've always spoiled you with stuff. Big monthly allowance, plenty for your parents every year. What? Marrying
me, Jared, was it really that awful?”
His words were like a bucket of ice water dumped over my head, freezingto the core.
