Countdown to My Divorce

Charmaine felt bad taking Samantha’s money.

“Samantha, you’ve been giving us all your money over the years. Is been tough on you. Things will get better once your younger brother gets married,” she said wearily.

“It’s fine, Mom. If you didn’t need to pay for my education, Eugene wouldn’t have dropped out of school so early. He’s smarter than me. Had he continued with his studies back then, I’m sure he would be earning more money than me right now.”

Samantha patted Charmaine’s back comfortingly.

Charmaine sniffed, but quickly returned to the matter at hand. “You must quickly bring up marriage with William to avoid future troubles. He’s such an outstanding man, I’m sure tons of women are eyeing him.”

“I know, Mom.”

William was done enquiring with the doctor and felt relieved when he confirmed that Charmaine’s condition was mild and wouldn’t need to be hospitalized for a long time.
