“Throw it away if you want. It’s not like it’s worth anything," he sneered.
So, he knew that it was a cheap trinket.
Unfazed, he instructed me, “Even if you didn’t like the gift, you should at least have some manners. Olivia went out of her way to help me yesterday and she’s heard you’re quite the cook. She really looks forward to tasting them. How about you make a batch of sandwiches for me to bring to the office for her?”
I put down my spoon. “Do it yourself if you want it. I’m not making anything.”
He frowned. “She’s willing to let it go and you’re still hung up on it? It’s just a batch of sandwiches. It’s not a big deal to make them. You’re home all day with nothing to do, while she’s feeling hungry early in the morning.”
I replied coldly, “If she’s hungry, that’s not my problem. I’m not her mother.”
"Besides, if you have time to talk some nonsense, you'd have time to sign the agreement that I gave you last night." Then I handed him the divorce papers that I got from the living room.
Without even looking at them, Donald tore them up.
“Stop throwing this in my face! My patience with you has limits. Why can’t you just get along with my assistant?”
“Olivia is my assistant. It’s normal for her to be close to me. Besides, she helps a lot with work. You could learn a thing or two from her and make my life a little easier!”
He grabbed his coat from the sofa. “I can see that you’re not thinking clearly. I’m not discussing this with you right now. Figure it out when you’ve come to your senses.”
He left without a second thought.
That was because in his eyes, whether I did something or not, I was always in the wrong. I was nothing but a jobless sullen woman to him.
I knew I was not worse than Olivia but Donald refused and could not see that.
He had long forgotten all the struggles that we had faced together to build everything.
Around noon, Donald suddenly sent me a message, "I’m bringing some friends home for dinner tonight. So, you'd better cook something nice.”
I hesitated for a moment. I did not want to get more entangled with him, but I also did not want to cause any trouble in front of his friends. So, I prepared the dinner that he asked for.
While I was still busy in the kitchen, making the soup I heard voices of unfamiliar men and women coming from the entrance.
I rushed over to check only to see Olivia enter my house with a group of strangers.
