Countdown to My Divorce

Jim’s hand trembled as he reached out to grasp Rachel’s. His eyes were heavy with quilt.

“Rachel, it’s always been me who’s let you down. I was too weak. I thought if I focused on making things right with Yvette for a few years, helped her get balanced, then I could bring you back. But instead, I only made her more spoiled and entitled.”

Rachel held his hand tightly in return. She knew exactly what was on his mind.

“Dad, I know you did it for Yvette, but unfortunately, she may never truly understand your intentions.”

Rachel understood Jim well. At his core, he was a soft–hearted man. If he weren’t, he never would have gone to such lengths to compensate Yvette. His goal had always been to make Yvette realize her mistakes and to prevent her from continuing down a misguided path.

“If I’m not mistaken, Dad, the inheritance you left Yvette should be enough for her to live on, right?”

A flicker of emotion passed through Jim’s cloudy eyes, and his face twitched slightly. He lowered his head and patted Rachel gently.

“Rachel, you really are my daughter. You understand what I’m thinking.”

Rachel smiled. Because she understood him, she could read the meaning behind all his words.
