Divorce? What kind of outdated idea is that? I couldn’t hold back my anger anymore. “Fine, let’s divorce. Jackie, do you think I even want to live with you?”
Jackie was so anxious, he seemed deaf and couldn't hear me.
Instead, he went about coaxing my mother-in-law, "Okay, Mom, Lilian didn't mean it."
"How about this? Let Lilian cover this month's living expenses. Consider it an apology. Can you forgive her just once?"
"What did you say?" I couldn't believe my ears.
Just because a piece of meat, I had to pay for a month's living expenses?!
He was being a goody-goody. Seeing my sullen expression, Jackie grew impatient.
"Lilian, can you please stop being so ungrateful! We don't even have to get a divorce, what else do you want? Is a monthly living allowance a lot for you? You earn so much, what's wrong with spending a little more on your family?"
Seeing my expression darken, Jackie just crossed his arms and looked down at me like he was giving a lecture.
