Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1624

Every time Mars got worked up, all he could do was stress out-he even wished

he could magically swap places with Milka and take her exams for her.

It was a long time before Mars finally called. "Milka, I've been out at―"

"We're divorced," Milka interrupted, blunt and flat.

Mars was stunned into silence. At the time, Milka herself was stuck in a rut, lost and confused. Of course her parents' divorce had left a mark. She'd taken an entrance exam, failed, and nothing Mars said could really comfort her.

Then, right in the middle of it all, Abby decided she was done with the gossip and whispers. "Everyone knows about your dad and me. After the divorce, all anyone does is talk. Even the relatives are in on it. I just want to go somewhere new, start over. I have a college friend who's working overseas and wants me to join her. What do you think, Milka?"

Milka stared at her mother, who'd been a stay-at-home mom for decades. "Wait, Mom, you went to college?"

Back in those days, a college degree was a huge deal. Her mom could have bragged about it, but instead, she'd spent twenty-odd years making meals and keeping the house spotless.

"Your father's job needed me to stay home, to hold down the fort," her mother said.

Milka frowned. "But he never really saw how hard you worked. He just thinks he's the man of the house, so whatever he says goes."
