Like Taking Care of Others? I'll Grant Your Wish!

My mother immediately took off her apron and said she was going to the market to buy food and making something delicious tonight.

Seeing them so happy, my eyes became wet.

In my previous life, I was so busy with work and family that I could only go back to my parents' home a few times a year. I almost forgot that my parents were the people who loved me the most in the world.

I secretly made up my mind that after divorcing David, I would take time to take my parents on a trip to other places and spend more time with them.

In the afternoon, David called me many times and I didn't answer.

Unexpectedly, just after dinner, he came to the door with many gifts, such as cigarettes and alcohol.

My dad was surprised, "David, Mandy said you are on a business trip, aren't you?"

David was startled at first, then explained, "I came back early, so I come to see you."

"Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

My parents didn't think much about it and invited him into the house. My mom even said there were some food in the refrigerator that he could just heat up and eat.

David was just about to thank her when I picked up my bag, put on my shoes and was about to leave.

"Dad, Mom, I'm going home."

"Ah? David just got here. Just leave after he eats, okay?"

"I just go back alone and don't wait for him."

After I went downstairs, David quickly caught up with me and stopped me with his arms open.

"Mandy, have you had enough of throwing a tantrum?"

"I throw a tantrum?" I said coldly, "David, are you serious? Who is throwing a tantrum?"

David frowned, as if trying to suppress his anger, "What's wrong with you? You used to be very reasonable and always agreed with me. Why are you so rude and unreasonable now?"

I raised my head and looked at him expressionlessly.

"It's just because I figured it out.

"I used to be a fool. I only thought about our family and you, but never thought about myself.

"I thought you take care of Ella out of sympathy and kindness. Humph, I was so naive.

"David, in fact, you have always loved her deeply in your heart, and it has never changed.

"In your eyes, I am just a substitute.

"No, in fact, I am even just a tool.

"I don't want to live like this any longer.

"Since you care about Ella so much, why don't you marry her? That way you can openly take care of her day and night!

"And I will be also free. I won't have to play gooseberry anymore. Isn't that good?"

David was speechless, because every word I said hit the nail on the head, as if a sharp knife was cutting him repeatedly and making him bleed.

After a long silence, David said, "I'll give you a few days to think about the divorce, because you're too excited right now. When you calm down, we can talk about it."

I said, "There's nothing to talk about. Divorce is a done deal, and no one can change my decision."

David said, "Mandy, you know? You make me feel very strange!"

"But you make me feel endless disgust!" I looked at him coldly, "To be honest, I'm actually very grateful to you now."

David was stunned, "For what?"

"Because you didn't touch me during our five-year marriage. If I had a child with you, it would be a problem."
