Returning Alone form the Failed Marriage

“Maisie, this is my mom! Don’t you remember that your classmates say you're a child without mom? Who allowed you to call my mom as yours?!”

Seeing Maisie fall to the ground and wailed, I was instantly anxious and helped Maisie up to while staring coldly at Rielle.

“Apologize.”

Fiona tightened her brows and said unhappily, “Ryan, why are you being so mean to a little kid?”

She held Rielle in her arms without saying a word.

“I told you in advance last night that Rielle couldn't stand to see people calling me mom.”

“She's just upset and frustrated, it's not like she pushed Maisie on purpose.”

I stood firm, still insisting.

“Didn’t you see what just happened? Was that not on purpose?”

“Fiona, she just personally called Maisie a child without mom. Now tell her, does Maisie really not have a mom?”

Fiona hesitated for a few moments, but still softly coaxed Rielle without the intention of apologizing.

Asher's eyes rolled and he stepped forward to apologize with a smile.

“Mr. Curtis, I'm really sorry, Rielle grew up abroad—she’s a bit blunt and says whatever comes to her mind. Please don’t take it to heart.”

With his words, the little girl in Fiona’s arms looked even more triumphant.

“I didn't say anything wrong! The classmates have all said that Maisie is a child without mom! She's the one who robbed my mom!”

I clenched my fists and stared coldly at Fiona.

Before, when she said she had a cleanliness fetish, Maisie and I endured it and accommodated her.

She was willing to use overtime as an excuse to get involved with other men outside and I also turned a blind eye.

But now, I couldn't tolerate people calling Maisie as a child without mom.

“Fiona, I'll ask you again-”

“Is Maisie a child without a mom?”

A point of displeasure flashed across Fiona's face, but she sneered and said, “Do you really need me to explain how she became my daughter?"

"Enough. Today is Rielle’s day to play here. Don’t ruin everyone’s mood.".

Asher and his daughter watched from the side, enjoying the drama.

Fiona heartbreakingly picked up Rielle and said, “Mommy will buy you some toys, okay?”

“And Elsa's pretty dress!”

“Good.” Fiona's face was full of favor.

Watching her back as she walked away, my heart grew cold. I finally said the words I had been weighing for so long.

“Fiona, let's divorce!”

Fiona's footsteps lurched and she coldly turned back.

“Ryan, do you think this is funny?”

“If you think this can threaten me, then it's fine as you wish.”

After saying that, she left without looking back.

The corner of Asher's eyes flashed with a smirk, but he quickly suppressed it and turned back to apologize to me.

“I’m really sorry. Fiona and I are innocent. She’s just someone who values emotions and loyalty deeply. She’s been kind to me since I got divorced early and my daughter has no mother. Please don’t take it personally or let this ruin your relationship.”

Asher added my contact information before leaving, said to compensate Maisie’s broken painting.

“Asher, come on!”

Fiona holding Rielle stood outside not far away, softly shouting him.

“Coming!”

Asher chased after him with a joyful smile, and before they could go far, the sound of their conversation clearly reached my ears.

“Fiona, really? Ryan said he wanted a divorce out of anger. How could you agree so easily?”

Fiona sneered. “He used all his means to beg for this marriage, how could he possibly give up a divorce?”

“Just now he was so mean to our Rielle. What I said before was just a small punishment for him, it won't be long before he begs me to come back.”

I couldn't help but sneer.
