Chapter 51 Divorce
In the cafe, the four of us sat facing each other. Nancy handed the menu to Dean and said coldly, “Order something to drink!”
Pamela rolled her eyes and stopped him, “We’re here to negotiate, not to eat!”
Nancy laughed disdainfully, “Auntie, you come here and don’t order anything. You think you are the boss and the savior? I lent you the venue to negotiate! Who do you think you are?”
Pamela stood up and was about to clean up Nancy , but Dean beside her grabbed Pamela ‘s skirt and tried his best to suppress his tone, “Mom, just sit down and rest.”
Dean called the waiter and ordered four matcha milkshakes, which were our favorite when we were in school.
After the meal was served, Dean spoke first, ” Candice , I’ve heard about my mom bringing her friends to your brother’s house. She was wrong to do that.” Dean ‘s tone was gentle and his face was calm, “But I don’t think it’s necessary to make such a big fuss about it. My mom just wanted her friends to stay for a few nights, she didn’t break into someone’s house.”
Looking at the gentle Dean sitting opposite me, who speaks slowly and logically , I suddenly feel that it is actually quite suitable for him to be together with Jacqueline . After all, both of them love acting and changing their faces.
What a pity, in my mind, all that remains of him is his hideous face.
I will never forget the day he quarreled with me downstairs of my mother’s house; I will also never forget the cold way he treated me every time after having fun with Jacqueline .
This man is the greatest shame of my life.
Perhaps because I was blinded by hatred, I did not respond to his conversation, but instead asked the question I wanted to ask the most.
“When are you going to divorce me?”
Dean paused and shook his head. “I won’t get a divorce.”
I laughed and said, “You don’t want to divorce? Then what do you want to do? Delay me and continue to have an affair with Jacqueline ? Then what am I? Am I a fool who provides you with a house, a car and a job?”
Dean said with a firm look in his eyes, “I’m not having an affair, and you didn’t see me having an affair. Jacqueline and I are just a little attracted to each other. I will handle my feelings well, and you don’t have to be so nervous.”
After hearing what he said, I almost overturned the table in front of me. I slapped the table and shouted, “You didn’t have an affair? Do you think I’m stupid? You two…”
Nancy beside me grabbed my hand and said, “We don’t care whether you have an affair or not. We are not interested in how far you and Jacqueline have developed. But Candice just doesn’t want to live with you anymore. She just has no feelings for you. Why do you have to pester her? Isn’t it better to get a divorce? You can find your Jacqueline , and our Candice can find her own life.”
Dean said confidently, ” How could Candice have no feelings for me? We have a great relationship! You don’t have to worry about it!”
Nancy took a sip from the glass and said with a smile, ” Candice has feelings for you? She went to the nightclub with me to find a man two days ago. She has feelings for you? I’m afraid you’ve been cuckolded and you don’t even know it!”
Dean ‘s face instantly turned pale, ” Nancy, stop stirring up trouble here! I know Candice best, and she will never cheat on me in her life.”
After listening to Dean ‘s evaluation of me, I realized that he had already taken advantage of me.
The past two years of our married life also made him realize that my feelings for him had reached a crazy point.
It is a terrible thing for a person to be shackled by another person, especially in love.
Nancy snorted coldly, “Come on! I heard that you two haven’t had sex for a long time. I guess it’s just that you’re not doing well there!” Nancy turned her head and looked at my belly, “Actually, I doubt whether the baby in Candice’s belly is yours!” She clicked her tongue twice and turned to look at Dean , “I think it’s unlikely. Why don’t you get a divorce quickly? Otherwise, it will be embarrassing to find out that the baby is not yours after it is born!”
Dean stood up instantly , stared at Nancy and said, “Stop talking nonsense to me! Our married life is our business, we don’t need you to comment on it!”
Nancy deliberately glanced at his crotch and said disdainfully, “It’s obvious that he’s impotent.”
Dean pointed at Nancy viciously , “Get out of here! The person I’m looking for today is Candice , not you! Get out of here right now!”
I heard Dean telling Candice to get out, so I yelled at him, “You are the one who should get out! If you can’t speak properly, get out of my sight right now! And those relatives of yours, they are all so annoying and have nothing to do with me!”
Dean ‘s anger subsided as he spoke . He sat down with anger suppressed, and after a short pause, he said, “When will the police station release the person?”
Speaking of releasing the people, Nancy couldn’t help laughing out loud, “Release them? Do you think the police station is owned by your family? Dean , those poor relatives your mother brought over smashed a lot of good things in Candice’s house! If there is no compensation of fifty or sixty thousand, do you think they will release them? Let me tell you, they broke into a private house and they should go to jail!”
At this time, Pamela finally couldn’t hold back any longer. She stared at Nancy and said, “Go to jail? Why? I live with my friends in my own house, why should I go to jail?”
I knocked on the table. “Who told you that it was your house? Do you have the property certificate? You moved in without my consent, and brought a bunch of cats and dogs with you, and even teamed up with those old men and women to beat me up. How dare you say that it was your house!”
I was so angry that I couldn’t even speak. When I finished speaking, Nancy began to help me out, “Old lady, stop talking nonsense. Go home and prepare 50, 000 yuan. When the time comes, you can take the money to the police station to redeem the person. I will definitely help you get him out!”
“Fifty thousand dollars? You’re robbing me!” Pamela yelled.
Nancy sneered contemptuously. “It’s up to you. Anyway, your relatives already know that the house is not yours. If they can’t get out, it will be your responsibility.”
Pamela ‘s attitude was getting weaker and weaker. She thought over and over again, then pulled Dean ‘s arm and said, “Son, I can’t let them stay in the police station for too long. If they go back home and tell their family, I won’t be able to hold my head up in the future.”
Dean ‘s face also became embarrassed. He looked at me and said, “How can I get you to let them go?”
I said flatly, “Divorce.”
