Chapter 3117
“Once I get back, I will persuade Adrian to agree to the divorce. I won’t let it come to blows. Butwhile I’m not around, I still hope you’ll think about it carefully again.”
Emma nodded in acquiescence.
She got up. “I’ll head out first then. I won’t disturb you any longer.”
Belinda hummed in acknowledgment.novelbin
Once Emma left, Belinda called Adrian. When he answered, she asked, “Where are you now,Adrian?”
“I’m at the office, Mom. What’s up?” he asked cautiously.
He was quite afraid of getting a call from his mother, especially after he had done something wrongbecause he would always get a scolding.
“Emma came back earlier. She told me plenty.”
Adrian’s scalp tingled as he said with a smile, “That’s good, it’s good that she’s back.”
“She came to tell me about her intention to divorce you. This time, she’s thoroughly hurt by you. Itlooks to me that she’s absolutely determined to get a divorce. She’s facing everything very calmly.
“When someone wants to leave for real, they’ll do it quietly.”
After a moment of silence, Adrian admitted, “Mom, I don’t want to divorce.”
“If you didn’t want to, how could you mistreat your wife so much?”
Adrian stammered, “Mom, I—”
“I’m going on a trip soon. While I’m gone, you’d better apologize and try to make amends to see ifyou can win her back. If you can, good. If not, don’t argue, don’t make a scene, and just split upamicably.
“Don’t make the kids feel ashamed. And make sure to give Emma everything she deserves in thedivorce. After all, you have been married for more than ten years and she is the mother of yourchildren. On top of that, you’re at fault, so you mustn’t mistreat her.”
Adrian’s heart clenched and he asked cautiously, “Mom, do you approve of us getting divorced?”
“I don’t approve or disapprove. She’s already made her decision and you hurt her so many times.For the children’s sake, I hope you two can settle this peacefully. I don’t want our families to becomeenemies. And if we can’t remain in-laws, we can at least be friends.”
Belinda did not feel good about this either.
She felt that her golden years were getting less and less shiny.
Her husband cheated on her while all three of her sons were adulterers too.
Now, her eldest daughter-in-law wanted a divorce. Who knew how long the other two could last?
It was possible that all three of her sons would end up divorced and the whole family would beshattered into pieces.
As for her only daughter, they were not that close because she had not raised her.
She did not even dare to lay her complete trust in her daughter.
Caroline had her principles with a conscience. Although they resembled each other in manyaspects, Caroline was different in many ways too.
If Caroline learned that her mother only managed to take leadership of the family by killing heraunts, with that personality of hers, she would definitely give up and refuse the position of matriarch.It was very likely the position would then return to Tiara’s scion.
