Beyond the Divorce
What Happens After Defeat Matthew continued, âWe have nothing to worry about if we join forces.
Weâll dominate Foswoodâs construction industry.
What do you say, honey?â âKeep dreaming, scumbag! Youâll never have my support again.
Karma will catch up to you.â I couldnât stand that disgusting man.
I picked Ava up and looked at him.
âNext time you want to see her, call me!â âChloe, youâll see the results in about three days.
Iâll be waiting for your mind to change.
Think about Ava, and stop being so stubborn,â Matthew revealed a sinister smile as I walked away, Iâm waiting for the day we reconcile, my dear wife!â I held Ava close as I rushed out of Snow World.
My body trembled, and I felt like I was about to explode angrily.
Ava sat in the childâs seat, looking at Snow Worldâs entrance.
I hugged her as tears rolled down.
my cheeks.
I tried to wipe away my tears so my daughter wouldnât see them.
After regaining my composure, I forced a smile and said, âMommy will take you out for some nice food, okay? She looked at me and asked, âWith Grandpa and Grandma?â âSure, weâll bring them along.
Letâs go home and pick them up,â I spoke tremblingly.
I knew this was what Avaâs world would be like from now on, and I felt guilty.
I took my parents to a seafood feast that evening.
However, I remained agitated throughout the meal.
I had to restrain myself, but the effort drove me crazy.
After dinner, I dropped my parents off and told them I had errands but would be home soon.
I drove to the Varencarres River and stood on the dimly lit riverbank.
Suddenly, I screamed to release all my suppressed frustrations and anger.
I screamed until my throat burned.
Finally, I stopped and knelt, gazing at the lights on the other side.
1 âWhy didnât you return yet? What happened to you?â I whispered to myself as our shared memories flooded my mind.
He gave me a sense of security, but it slowly disappeared.
I wondered what to do next and how to save myself without his support.
I had taken a massive loan by mortgaging everything, and Tanum Corporation was about to collapse.
I had always felt uneasy, but it seemed validated now.
I knew I had relied too much on Atlas but didnât regret it and considered it destinyâs plan.
I had to face the situation, even without him.
I couldnât allow myself to end up like Grace.
With my increasingly quiet daughter and constantly worried parents, I had to make one last attempt.
I If I lost everything.
I would return to my hometown with Ava and my parents.
I would treat everything here as a nightmare and start anew away from the chaos.
Regrettably, I couldnât help him this time and could only pray for him.
He was outstanding and would have a bright future.
I didnât deny liking someone as caring and trustworthy as him.
He was enough for me.
With those thoughts in mind, I returned home, determined to face whatever came next.
