Chapter 152
How did we end up like this?
At this moment, the feelings within him were indescribable.
He and Heather had been together for about five years, and he gave his all to her wholeheartedly. In the end, this relationship was nothing in her eyes, and she could just end it with a sentence.
A sudden realization hit him that even though he intentionally hid his identity, he was always the inferior one in this relationship.
“Let’s get a divorce then.”
A contemptuous smile appeared on Alex’s face. This time, he would let Heather have her way.
Since she no longer cared about their marriage, he should let her go.
At least, he had loved her with all his heart, and he did not regret it.
Just when he took a pen and was about to sign the divorce agreement, Stanley suddenly pulled his sleeve and said coquettishly, “Daddy, I saw Mommy cry when she went out just now. Please don’t fight with Mommy anymore, okay?”
Alex felt his heart move. His eyes misted over as he squatted and stroked Stanley’s head.
In fact, he was still staying in this house for his son’s sake.
Otherwise, he would have moved out way earlier instead of staying back and enduring Carmen’s anger like a doormat.
“Daddy, I want you and Mommy to be good to each other. And I also want our family to be happy, so please don’t quarrel or be angry with Mommy, okay?” Stanley said solemnly with his eyes gleaming with hope.
Stanley’s words shook Alex up. Gazing at his son, Alex could not believe that his four–year–old son said this.
Though Stanley sounded naive, Alex could sense that the marital crisis between him and Heather had deeply troubled his son.
In fact, it was normal that Stanley felt this way.
These days, Heather lost her temper frequently. Stanley had been watching his parents hold grudges and fight with one another. He even had not seen his mother smile at him for a long time. As a result, Stanley felt upset and lost.
Nevertheless, he had grown much more sensible now and was more mature than his peers.
“Okay, Daddy promises not to be angry or quarrel with Mommy anymore.” Alex picked his son up and held him in his arms. He changed his mind about having the divorce right away.
He would hold on to his son’s well–being. It would be better to wait until Stanley was old enough to understand the situation, or else the divorce might bring him a childhood trauma.
“Alright/You can watch cartoons while Daddy prepares dinner.” Alex put Stanley down, turned on the TV, and switched to his favorite cartoon channel before heading to the kitchen to cook dinner.
With the divorce agreement in his hand, he tore it into pieces when he reached the kitchen.
Even if he wanted a divorce, he would only do it when Stanley grew up.
After Heather left home, she went to a bar as she had agreed to meet up with Kate.
This is a great time to have a drink since she was in a grim mood today, and Kate had been feeling frustrated
