There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

Mrs. Hilgard stood up to see him off with a cool look. "Off you go. Think it over and we'll see what decision you'd make."

Mr. Hilgard stopped her. "How could you forgive me? Or how about I kneel down and beg you?"

He was about to cry - why had things become so terrible like this?

Mrs. Hilgard sneered, "Will you?"

She knew his arrogance very well and was sure that he would not get down on his knees and beg her piteously—it would be much worse than killing him.

However, the next second, Mr. Hilgard held the armrest of the sofa and slowly kneeled down in front of her. He cried, "Please. I beg you. Forgive me this time. Please."

"I won't say those harsh words anymore, nor quarrel with you again. From now on, you are the master of the home.

"I don't want to divorce you. I really don't…"

Mrs. Hilgard was shocked and frightened as she saw Mr. Hilgard could be humble like this. At last, she was so scared that she ran out of her home to the house nearby where her daughter and son-in-law lived.

At this moment, Jean and Arthur were worried about how the discussion went as they knew Jean's father would come to see her mother today.

When Jean opened the door and found her mother in a panic, she asked anxiously, "What's up? Did dad hurt you?"

"No. No." Mrs. Hilgard shook her head. "Suddenly, he was on his knees and begged me to forgive him in tears. I was frightened so I ran away."

Even Arthur and Jean were taken aback by Mr. Hilgard's actions, let alone Mrs. Hilgard.

Jean, in particular, could not imagine that her father was begging her mother on his knees. If she was there, she would be scared away too.

"Did dad really know he was wrong?" Jean doubted.
