+10 Free Coins

Not just Mom, even I had prepared for a long, hard fight with Bill. After all, he had kept Mom in captivity for 20 years. If he wanted to set her free, he would have done it long ago.

With his status, he could get any woman he wanted. If was just about his desire to possess, that didn't

make sense.

But he really did relent, and it felt surreal, like something out of a dream.

"Really? Are you sure?" Mom asked, her tear-filled eyes searching his, tears streaming down her face.

He cupped her face gently and wiped her tears away. "A least this time, when you leave, don't cry over me, alright?"

Mom bit her lip, nodding through her tears. "You really mean it? No conditions?"

This didn'tfit Bill's usual persona. He was a businessman; even if he couldn't have Mom, he would surely have demanded something in return.

Bill spoke up. "I do have one condition."

"What is it?"

"If we can't stay husband and wife, at least be friends. Don't disappear completely from my life. After all, there's still the child we created together."

Ar that, Mom almost blurted out the truth. I quickly intervened, "You two are just ending the marriage. Don't mention the baby; I'm the connection between you two. Mom, please agree to Dad's request." Seeing Bill filled with guilt, I urged him to sign the divorce papers while the iron was hot.

Mom understood what I meant and her mind cleared. She nodded. "Okay, I agree. Let's sign it now."

"I've seen the divorce papers you drafted. You want to leave with nothing, even returning the shares to me. I won't accept that."

"What do you mean?"

"I'll have a lawyer draft the new papers.

Mom glanced at me, her eyes pleading for help. It seemed like she wanted to ask if Bill was purposely stalling.

I shook my head. He wasn't trying to delay things.

With his personality, if he didn't want the divorce, he would have said so already. But now, having come this far, it was clear he wanted to make amends with her
