I Want a Divorce by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 632 Everything Goes Black

Sean glanced at Abigail.

Abigail looked at Lawrence and said softly, “You may think I’m heartless, but let me tell you, many children from dysfunctional families have parents like mine. Cutting ties is the only way to make yourself more comfortable.”

She didn’t hold onto those outdated beliefs, as she only believed in one thing. “If you treat me well, I’ll treat you well; if you treat me poorly, don’t expect me to show any mercy.”

Emotions were meant to be reciprocal, so why should one side endure the pain and accept moral constraints? And why should the one who hurt others be exempt from moral condemnation just because they have no shame?

What kind of logic was that?

“Life may seem long, but it’s actually short. It’s most important to be good to yourself,” Abigail continued.

“I know. I will overcome this hurdle,” Lawrence said warmly as he looked at Abigail. “Thank you, Abby. I wouldn’t have been able to hold on without you today.”

“Have you eaten yet?” Abigail’s voice softened.

“Not yet…” Lawrence replied. Their house was in a mess, and their long-time housekeeper had left today because she couldn’t bear it anymore.

They came back from work to find an empty house with nothing prepared for dinner, and then Molly showed up with a group of people who caused a scene.

Abigail looked at Sean.

“I’m a decent cook. If you and Mrs. Pearson don’t mind, I can show you what I can do,” Sean said as he rolled up his sleeves.

“Forget it, we’ll just order takeout. You just arrived today, and you must be tired.” Lawrence shook his head.

“I’m not tired,” Sean immediately replied.

He felt guilty toward Abigail, and he thought that no matter how good he was to her now, it couldn’t make up for the past hurt.
