You Are Still My Wife! novel Chapter 19

I walked inside my parents’ room. My mom hugged me and David offered me to sit next to him on his bed. My mom sat beside me. I was sitting in between them and I felt even more pressurized to speak what was going on in my mind. I took a deep breath and spoke that I want to divorce Frieze. I told them the whole scene and next moment, dad stood up facing me and slapped me hard. I fell on the bedside and mom did not try to stop her husband. I could just struggle to stand and look down on the ground because I know I messed up. It was all my fault. I ruined three lives here and my family have been affected. I have hurt my parents and would probably hurt Frieze’s parents as well. This would be a reaction that every parent would give when their son turns out to be a bastard.

Mom spoke first while my dad looks at me like he would murder me right away “Are you not ashamed? You are saying you want to divorce that girl who considered you her everything? She accepted us like her own parents and she has already done so much for our happiness? Do you know I never felt your absence at home when she was always there to take care of us? How can you even be so selfish and ungrateful?”

Dad finally opened his mouth, “At this age, we regret to call you our son. You are just spoiling our image and we are too weak to face our daughter in law now.”

One last kick on my head from dad and I fainted. I could hear my mom’s voice cursing me but I could not understand what she was saying. I closed my eyes seeing my mom’s angry face.

The next moment when I opened my eyes, I was in the hospital room. Next to me, stood Frieze with a worried face. I could barely smile at her. I looked around to find the others. But, I was all alone with her. I asked her confused, “Who brought me here?”

Frieze spoke smiling pleasantly, “Your dad called the ambulance to bring you here. You fainted in dad’s room while you were proposing a divorce for us. He is really angry but don’t worry everything is going to be alright. I promise. Since he sent you here alone, Rose informed me and I hurried here.”

Did Frieze mention divorce and in such a cool tone? Did she know already? Did Simon tell her everything or was it Rose? She is not upset. She is not crying. I cannot see swollen eyes. Did she not even cry? How is she so cool while everyone else is storming at me like I am the bad guy. I was confused again. My head had an ugly pain and it seemed to be busting already. I suffered a lot and I am repenting.

I asked her how did she know about the divorce idea. I wanted to clear everything now.
