Jack's face was full of entanglement,and he seemed very guilty.[Jack,this is the seventh year of our marriage.Although there is the so-called seven-year itch,I never thought it would happen to us.]
[Can you tell me what you like about her?]He sat there with a red face,stuttering and unable to say anything.Looking at his appearance,I thought of us before we entered society.
[Grace is very energetic.We've been together for about half a year.][Luna,I always felt that there was no passion in our marriage anymore.]
Jack looked at me dejectedly.Listen,he was still making excuses for himself.[Let's get a divorce.][You will leave the marriage with nothing.]
In the eyes of those around us,we were a famous model couple.Our love for each other was enviable.The man was in charge outside,and the woman took care of the family.I managed our small family in an orderly manner.
The night I found out about Jack's affair,I didn't sleep all night,even though I didn't cry or make a scene.
I thought a lot about our relationship from falling in love to getting married.I was wondering if there was anything in this marriage and these seven years that made me reluctant to part with.
No,I couldn't think of anything.Jack didn't want to.He lowered his head and refused to speak.[Jack,you know that I can't accept this.]
I grew up in a single-parent family.The reason why my parents divorced was that my father had an affair.
When I was with Jack,I emphasized more than once that I didn't believe in marriage.Jack promised me that he would never cheat and that he would make me believe that even in marriage,love was possible.
Now he broke his promise.[She's pregnant,and you have to take responsibility,right?][We should divide the property equally.]
I won't agree,Jack.How could I let you get half of the property?Including the money you spent on Grace.[Have you forgotten,Jack?We had it notarized.]
Jack didn't want a divorce.After he left,I called Amy.[Prepare to file the materials and sue for divorce.][He doesn't agree?Why?]Amy was indignant on the other end of the phone.
I also wanted to know why he didn't agree.But when I saw the person sitting on the sofa at home,I knew.It was my mother-in-law,Jack's mother.
Our marriage wasn't smooth sailing,and we weren't the enviable loving couple in the eyes of outsiders.Our conflicts were related to Jack's parents.His mother looked down on me because I was from a divorced family.They thought I had flaws in my emotions.
Moreover,my family background wasn't good.I was born in the countryside.Even though I graduated from a top university in the country,in his mother's eyes,I was still a person who couldn't be taken to the stage.
Jack's family was well-off.It was a family that was a bit better than the average but not the richest.
His mother worked in the government,and his father ran a company.He was born with a sense of superiority but also liked to be petty.
[Luna,come and sit down.Mom wants to talk to you.]
This was the first time my mother-in-law spoke to me kindly.She watched me sit down and,pretending to be worried,took my hand and said earnestly,[We know about Jack's affair.It's not that mom is partial to him.In the past few years,the company has been relying on Jack to support it.If you want half of the property,mom and your dad have no complaints.]
[But if you want Jack to leave the marriage with nothing,mom has to talk to you about it.]
[You've been married for five years,right?You haven't even given birth to a granddaughter.In ancient times,this was one of the seven reasons for divorce-being childless.]
I lowered my eyes and didn't look at her,showing a submissive look as if I was listening to her carefully,which made Jack's mother very satisfied.[That girl Grace is a mistress,but she's pregnant with Jack's son now,my grandson.I can ignore my son,but I want my grandson.]
[Do you understand what mom means?]
