"Joey Gu." She called his name in his arms motionlessly, but her voice was even colder than the man's embrace.
Lois sneered, "do you know why I want to divorce you?"
She could feel that Joey's body was stiff. The lump in her throat rushed to the tear gland all of a sudden. She had promised herself not to sink anymore, but tears would still flow out.
She continued in a cold voice, "you don't know, do you know where your wedding ring is?"
Joey didn't say anything. Lois continued, "on April 20th, I saw Sally throw the wedding ring on your left hand into the trash can. From that day on, I knew that I couldn't trust you for the rest of my life!"
Joey tensed up, but he listened carefully to her cold voice out of habit.
"You probably don't know how much I have put up with you. You are domineering, selfish. Except for taking back the money from work and social activities, you have no sense of responsibility for this family, and even for your child!"
She said in a soft but more horrible tone, "how many times have you hugged her?"
Joey's trembling body made Lois feel happy. The happiness and pain intertwined, and the only thing that could vent her emotions was tears.
"I'm fed up with Maggie coming back home to ask that her father's relationship with a mistress, and your indifference to this family because of Sally. It doesn't matter if you ignore me or not, but you don't deserve to be a father. You are simply heartless!"
"Enough!" The husky and deep voice was tightened, like the strings of a Violoncello, almost breaking in the next second. Joey took a few steps back. He had never known that he was so rebellious?
A little child asked her mother about her father's mistress...
Tears were still welling up from Lois's eyes. She looked at Joey, who took two steps back, and asked, "what? Are you afraid?"
She walked towards him and seemed to push him into an abyss. Do you want to hear that when I saw you and Sally drive away?
"You don't know how I felt at that time, do you? I can't feel my legs, nor can I feel my hands. I'm weak all over. There's only a heart that is almost torn apart. I can't control my body... "
"There is only one thought in my mind was to find the evidence that you are responsible for me, to find back the ring, to find out the motivation that can make this marriage go on. But where are you? You are displaying your affection with Sally! "
Joey looked at her in disbelief, his face turning pale.
He looked at the corner of Lois's mouth, desperate and sad. She opened her beautiful eyes, but big tears rolled down from her eyes. He suddenly remembered the story book he read when he was a child. It was called 'Tears from sharks'.
Raising her eyebrows, Lois looked at him with a sneer, "Joey Gu, do you think you have the right to say stop? We have been done! "
Joey felt a sharp pain all over his body. He seemed to feel that his hands and feet were out of control and his heart was empty.
Lois turned around and left.
Joey stood in the living room for a long time. Through the window, he saw that Lois's car turned on the headlights and left. It was not until Joey could no longer see the car light that he came to his senses.
Trembling, Joey went upstairs. The quarrel between Sally and Lois came to his mind from time to time
By the way, since Sally came back, Lois and him had no longer been intimate. Lois didn't even allow him to touch her.
From the dinner party to that day Maggie was sick, to that time because of a dress, he was so bad that he pushed her away again and again, farther and farther. Until now, he could no longer pull her back
