Warm blood trickled from my forehead, running down my cheek and forming a crimson haze before my eyes.
Sherry glanced at me, her expression filled with disgust. Then she turned to Colin, her face full of concern as she tenderly held his hand and examined him from head to toe and said, "Colin, are you hurt? Does it hurt anywhere?"
In all the years we had been together, Sherry had never asked me if I was tired or in pain. Even when I had a high fever of almost forty degrees, she was indifferent. Back then, she said, "It's just an illness, nothing serious."
She wasn't incapable of tenderness or caring for others, she just reserved all her kindness and concern for Colin.
I thought of Tania's pitiful eyes, always longing for her mother's love and the fury in my chest refused to be suppressed. I finally roared, "Get out! You pair of scum, get out of my house!"
Colin, regaining his composure, stepped forward and tried to pat my shoulder, but I glared at him and he withdrew his hand, awkwardly folding them in front of him.
He said, "Mr. Andersen, calm down. This is all a misunderstanding! I just came back from overseas and wasn't used to life here yet, so I asked Sherry for some help."
"We're just friends. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to say such things about Sherry?" He tilted his head slightly, his expression innocent and resentful, as if I were the one insulting them.
I replied coldly, "Get out! Say one more word and I'll call the police for trespassing!"
Sherry frowned, clearly displeased and said, "Hector, can you stop being so petty and narrow-minded? He just came back to the country and doesn't have many friends. He's lonely. If I don't help him, who will?"
I laughed coldly at the shameless pair standing in front of me, "Oh, help? Help him in the bathroom, is that it? He's such a big man and he's lonely? What about Tania? She's just a little girl. Was she not lonely? Sherry, I want a divorce. Sign the divorce papers right now!"
In all these years of marriage, I had always treated Sherry like a treasure, never raising my voice, let alone mentioning divorce.
Seeing that I wasn't backing down, Sherry hesitated and tugged at my sleeve and said, "Is this really all about not spending Children's Day with Tania? Do you have to be this angry?"
I looked at her coldly. If looks could kill, she would have been torn to pieces a thousand times over.
