"Enough! I gave you a gift. What more do you want? Chloe is not a child now and you want a divorce? I warn you, don't even think about getting custody after the divorce!
"I've been too good to you!"
After venting at me, he turned and left.
This was the first time in ten years I showed him anger. He thought I was still being jealous and making a scene like before.
Perhaps he was planning to nap in the bedroom, expecting to see me cooking for him when he woke up and end the quarrel naturally like before.
But this time, I wanted to end our relationship.
I left the keys and the signed divorce papers and walked away from the house I had lived in for five years.
I had a crush on Jay for five years and was married to him for another five years.
To be with him officially, my mom paid with her life.
Ending this relationship cost me my daughter's life.
My mom was initially the Miller residence's housekeeper, caring for Mrs. Miller, Amelia Watsons, for half her life.
The Miller family liked her a lot and gave her a raise almost every year.
One day, she accompanied Amelia to the mall. On the way back, they encountered kidnappers.
They were people who had lost everything in business and were desperate, trying to kidnap Amelia for ransom.
But my mom bravely rushed forward.
The kidnappers didn't expect an old lady to intervene, so they panicked and pulled out a knife.
My mom used all her strength and managed to delay them until the police arrived.
Amelia was safe.
The kidnappers were caught.
Only she was left dying.
Amelia was so scared that her face turned pale. While waiting for the ambulance, she kept talking to my mom, urging her to hold on.
My mom knew she didn't have much time left. Before dying, she was still concerned about me, her only daughter.
She knew I liked Jay, so she made her last request to Amelia.
Amelia was momentarily stunned when she heard this.
Because she knew Jay had a woman he truly loved.
But as my mom's raised hand grew weaker, she gritted her teeth and agreed to my mom's request.
With tears in her eyes, she promised my mom just before she died that she would let me marry Jay.
My mom left in peace.
Everyone comforted me while handling her funeral.
Even though I lost my mom, I gained a lifetime of wealth and fortune.
No one knew that I would rather live alone forever than lose my mom.
Dad died early, and Mom raised me by herself. We depended on each other.
