Chapter 856: Chapter 856 Enchanting Ti: The Wedding (Finale 26)_1
The atmosphere around the dining table was sowhat heavy.
Madeleine was quiet for a while, wanting to ease the heaviness, so she smiled and said, “But, divorce might be good. After the divorce, I won’t need to visit the West Suburb Villa every month, go to The Colemans, and then play the good daughter-in-law by playing chess with Dad and watching TV with Mom. You know, I’ve hated chess and those lodramatic romance TV shows since I was little.”
Madeleine tried hard to make her tone a bit lighter, “You have no idea how much I endured doing those two things every week, how painful it was. And every ti I went, I had to buy them gifts. I didn’t want to bring the sa things, but there’s a limit to the variety of gifts. I was always worried about what to buy. At last, I don’t have to worry about these things anymore.”
Madeleine’s words, clearly aid at lightening the mood, turned Howard’s complexion pale instead.
Such brief words were a straightforward accusation of the sacrifices and compromises she made during their marriage.
Madeleine kept her smile, her eyebrows and eyes curving beautifully with it, radiant and eye-catching. The light in her eyes reflected the dining room lights, bright as if stars had fallen into them: “What’s more important, I won’t have to take birth control pills anymore. You don’t know how much I hate taking dication, every ti I swallowed them, I felt such discomfort in my throat…”
...
When Madeleine reached this point, tears finally started to stream down uncontrollably, and she could no longer maintain her smile.
She rembered the words Howard had said to Steve, and to stop herself from crying out loud, she continued, “And, you don’t know, the side effects of the birth control pills are severe. Every ti after I took them, I felt extrely nauseous, and then my periods beca irregular, either early or late. In all the months I’ve been married to you, I haven’t slept well for a single night…”
Rembering the nights she waited alone in an empty house for Howard, Madeleine couldn’t hold back anymore and buried her face in her arms on the table, sobbing.
For this love, she truly gave it her all. She thought it didn’t matter how much she gave as long as she could end up with the man she loved, she would be content.
Oh no, as long as she could live a good life with the man she loved, that was enough. She didn’t need his love, his heart to have a place for her.
But she never expected that even this modest hope, she couldn’t realize.
Howard looked at the woman crying her heart out in front of him, his eyes slightly rimd with red.
Madeleine cried for a while, then forced herself to stop, lowered her head, and hastily wiped away her tears before finally looking up at Howard, taking a deep breath, and said, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have said all these nonsense.”
Then, as if trying to lighten the mood again, she said with what she thought was a sense of humor, “But, you were right in the beginning, it’s a good thing we don’t have kids. This way, the end is neat, without dragging things out.”
These were the words he had given her when he had her take birth control, and now she returned them to him word for word.
Initially, his actions were indeed aid at forcing her to divorce him, but he never imagined, in an ironic twist of fate, that when he wanted to start over with her, she would be the one to declare it over.
One of life’s greatest ironies is when I’m ready to love only you with all my heart, you give up on .
Howard really wanted to speak up and plead with Madeleine to stay, but her accusations about what he had done left him utterly without the face to do so. Howard’s gaze remained on Madeleine for a long ti before he finally said softly, “Madeleine, I’ll give you an answer later.”
PS: Chapter 8 is done~~~~ Will Howard agree to the divorce?
