Chapter 1581

“It’s like this all the time! Ever since he got into gambling, he’s been stuck in this vicious cycle of betting and regretting. He genuinely regrets it when he does, but he just can’t resist the pull of gambling. I’ve tried talking to him seriously, hoping he’d quit gambling so we could go back to our peaceful life. He’d always promise me, but it’d end up being a load of bull. After countless tries, I’ve realized that he’s not going to change, not in

The moment he gets his hands on some cash, he’d be back at it.” Emily lowered her head, choking up, “If I got together with Charlie, my dad would latch onto him like a leech.

His family wouldn’t accept her and her burdens would only make things worse, eventually warping their relationship.

But now Emily and Charlie’s relationship was over, she couldn’t help but feel regretful, “Is there really no other way? I can help your dad find a job. Maybe that’d keep him from gambling.”
