Chapter 292 Darling, Let's Get Divorced

#10 Free Cons

Foring Bill's desperate pleas, my mother set down her yarn and crochet hook. Slowly, she stood and retrieved the large glass jar from the table.

"Darling, what are you doing?" Bill asked, his voice tinged with confusion.

My mother looked at him, her voice calm, almost detached. "Every time you disappointed me in the past, I would put a coin in this jar. I told myself that if this jar ever filled up, I would leave you"

She opened the lid and said. "Now, there's only one con left before the jar is full. Bill, can you promise me that in the years to come, you won't disappoint me again?"

Bill seemed not to hear her words, his eyes glued to the coins in the jar.

He knew he had wronged Philippa, but he didn't realize how deeply the accumulated disappointments had hurt her.

A flickering flame might cause brief pain, but when that flame turns into a raging fire, Philippa had already been burned, scarred, and shattered.

Bill wanted to assure her that he wouldn't let her down again, but such a promise would seem unrealistic, even to a child.

"Bill" my mother continued, her voice softening, "I appreciate your efforts to help my family. It's proof that you want to make up for what you've done. But the hurt between us, whether from missed opportunities or misunderstandings, has become too deep to erase. I once thought of letting everything go and being a good wife to you, but on that day itself, I learned Monica was pregnant. After that, your actions-whether they were meant to provoke or control me-made the hurt feel like a constant. It became a habit, and you thought it was normal."

"But Zoey, my Zoey... She was only 20," she said, her voice breaking. "After years of emotional distress, she chose to end her life. Bill, this shouldn't have happened.

She wasn't referring to me, but to the real Zoey, who had passed away.

Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. "Bill, let's stop torturing each other. No matter how much you try to make amends, I'll never love you again." Zoey would never forgive Bill for her death.
