Not Again Mr Whitney novel Chapter 11

“Yes, I want a divorce!” Calvin was utterly calm.

Lewis had just left his mother’s room to look for his wife.

He heard what Calvin said and was petrified.

Carrie’s whole body was shaking and her teeth were chattering.

This loser, douchebag, slum dog.

A man like him dared to ask for a divorce?

Who gave him the confidence to say that? Or worse, was he having an affair?

That must be the case. Why else was he so bold to talk back to her?

Rita was just as shocked. She didn’t like Calvin at all and had gone all the ways to divorce him.

But after two years, she had seen a ton of virtues in him.

He was attentive, tolerant, persistent...

She thought she almost convinced herself to accept him as her husband and be nicer to him.

But now she felt like she was being a dumbass. Turned out Calvin didn’t want to live with her at all.

He didn’t want her anymore.

She couldn’t just swallow her pride and acknowledge that. With her beautiful almond eyes filled with sorrow, she trembled and said, “Say that again!”

Calvin wasn’t feeling good about this and he never wanted to take it this far.

He clutched his fists as if he was encouraging himself.

“Let’s get a divorce.”

Rita roared, “Why!”

“Because we’re done!”

“Because I’ve had enough of this disaster!”

“Because...I’m tired of this.”

Actually, Calvin also wanted to say that it was because she agreed to work for Vincent.

Calvin didn’t care about this but he cared about how she felt about this.

He also believed that the reason why she agreed was because she didn’t want to make a scene out of this.

But what if one day Carrie made her marry Vincent? Would she choose to obey her?

There were some boundaries that couldn’t be crossed no matter what happened.

Calvin was disappointed. Maybe he shouldn’t compare himself with Carrie.

Because he wasn’t good enough for her.

So, it was better to let go and go their separate ways.

Rita looked at Calvin and all she thought about was his words. They were done...He had had enough of this disaster...He was tired of her...

What disaster? Why would he say that?

Then Carrie ran downstairs and slapped Calvin in the face.

But this time, Calvin grabbed her hand and stopped her.

“In the past, I’m your son-in-law and you could do whatever you wanted to me.”

“But from now on, you’ll never get your way!”

Carrie struggled and got off of him. She couldn’t deal with the sudden change of Calvin’s attitude.

He should be acting like a coward who would do whatever she wanted him to do.

“A divorce? You’re out of your mind! Who are you to say that? Do you know what you are? Nothing but a live-in son-in-law.”

“Once you married to the Houston family, you’ll always be a Houston. We were kind enough that we didn’t change your last name to Houston and you repay us with the proposal of a divorce? You’ll die a Houston for the rest of your life unless we kick you out of this family.”

Calvin was surprised. He thought she was the one who wanted them to get a divorce.
