CHAPTER 136 Jane was with her mother, buying a wedding dress in a Myers’ store. “Why are you interested in a cheaper one?” her mother vehemently asked. “He gave you the permission to buy one that’s at most a million dollars, didn’t he?” Jane smiled and said, “He did, but I don’t want to waste money on something I’m not even gonna wear often.” “Why are you thinking so much? It’s his money!”

“His money is still money, isn’t it? We should spend it wisely, mom, especially after we get married and become a family.”

“Huh, talk about irony. You have such a rich boyfriend, but you don’t have what it takes to spend. If it was me, I would have bought a dress worth over a million dollars!” she boasted.

Jane slapped her mother’s wrist. “We can buy a nice house with that much money. You want me to spend that on a wedding dress?” she reproached. “Not happening!” After some quarreling, Jane’s mother could only give up. Her daughter was more stubborn than her in matters related to money, after all. In the end, Jane chose a beautiful white dress that cost about twenty thousand dollars. As they were walking out of the store, her mother said in an experienced, caring tone, “Jane, you know why your father and I are able to live happily for more than twenty five years? We learned to control our anger for the sake of each other. Anger can make even small issues seem worse. It brings a great deal of pain if you let it. I don’t know the statistics, but most divorces happen because of anger and ego issues. So don’t ever let your emotions push you over the edge, or no matter how many times you marry or try to be in a relationship, it won’t ever work.”

Jane didn’t say anything. “You understand?” her mother stressed her words. Jane nodded twice. “Good,” her mother continued. “Just one word can break another’s heart, so always watch what you’re saying. Even if your husband is wrong, don’t be quick to judge him, unless he’s done something unforgivable. And last but not least, it’s normal to get tempted, but don’t go drooling after every man you see. That thing should stop after marriage.”

“Mom, there’s still some days left before marriage,” Jane talked back, “so why are you flooding my brain with nonsense right now?”

“That nonsense will be key to your peace later on, my foolish daughter.”
