[Luna,what do you want to do?]She asked me through gritted teeth,making me feel confused.
[What do you mean by sending me a lawyer's letter?]
[Are you jealous that I'm having a son for Brother Jack?]How could someone be so shameless?I gestured to my mother that I was going to answer the phone on the side.I walked away a bit before speaking.
[Grace,I don't care how you act towards Jack,but you slandered me on the Internet,and that concerns me.]
[I'm reminding you one last time.Vacate the house for me before next Monday.][If you can't,I don't mind suing you again.]
I don't know how Grace cried to Jack,but soon after I hung up Grace's call,Jack's call came.Unlike his usual calm voice,his voice was full of exhaustion.
[Luna,can you...]
[No,Jack.You should have enough money to buy a house.]
I made him leave the marriage with nothing,but Jack still had his prenuptial property,and the company's dividends had always been quite a lot.We calculated our finances separately.
And with Grace carrying the precious grandson of the Thompson family,would she be short of a house to live in?But the next day,I knew why Grace didn't want to move out.
Grace was in a hurry to move and tripped on the steps at the entrance of the building and fell down.
Jack's mother was afraid that the precious grandson would be hurt,so she quickly took Grace to the hospital for an examination.
After the examination,it turned out that Grace wasn't pregnant.Amy and I sat together and laughed heartily.
I could even imagine how Jack's mother's face was ugly Grace's parents thought she was shameful and ignored her.She came to my house to make a scene.
Without the halo of carrying the Thompson family's grandson,in Jack's mother's eyes,Grace was even less important than me.[Luna,it's all your fault!]
I looked at her in confusion.What did this have to do with me?
It wasn't me who made her pretend to be pregnant.I was speechless.[Ms.Smith,if you continue to make a scene in my house unreasonably,I'll call the police and report you for trespassing.]
These days,Jack had been waiting downstairs every day.My mother was annoyed by it and said to me,[Go downstairs and meet him.Otherwise,it's really annoying to see him every day.]
I stood by the window and looked at Jack downstairs.The image that came to my mind was the back of him waiting for me downstairs in university.
Every time I saw him from upstairs,I would rush downstairs quickly and then carefully try to scare him.
Actually,I didn't just find out about Jack's affair that night.I was calm and determined to get a divorce because I had forgiven him once before.
I originally thought that it was just a momentary mistake on his part.As long as he loved me,he would come to his senses.
But all men are the same.No man can resist the temptation to cheat,just like my father who had an affair.[Jack.]
When we faced each other again,I felt completely calm inside.It wasn't about love or not;it was about disappointment.
[Luna,I...]I stopped him from speaking and said,[Jack,listen to me.]
[The first time I knew about your affair was when the finance staff,Lisa,sent me the photos.I made a lot of excuses for you.]
[Like you were drunk or forced.]
[I told myself I could forgive you,as long as you had no more involvement with her.]
I looked up at Jack.His success in business over the past few years had made him more mature,and he had become the kind of boss that many women would be attracted to.
[But you didn't keep your word.]
[Jack,you might say that Grace seduced you,or that you were just being foolish for a moment.]
[But it doesn't matter anymore,Jack.My expectations of you have been lowered again and again,and you have no more chances left.]
[You're out of the game.]After hearing my words,Jack,a grown man,squatted on the ground and started crying.I didn't comfort him;I just stood there with him.
It took a long time for him to stand up.His voice,full of sobs,didn't stir any emotions in me.[Luna,I really don't want a divorce.If only...][There's no'if'.]
Jack walked away unsteadily,and his back looked especially lonely in the moonlight.
