Ruben said with a smile, "Your son is indeed the best reason for you two to get back together, but you have to think about the whole thing from her standpoint. For the sake of Brad, she has endured this marriage for eight years. It's not just several months or a couple of years, but eight years!"
"To let Brad grow up healthily and happily : n a complete family, she has devoted her youth and happiness for so many years...’
After saying that, he paused and turned to look at Luke, who was standing opposite
Luke was clearly in a bad mood. His face darkened and he stared back at him with sharp eyes.
Pursing his thin lips, Luke wore a sullen expression.
Ruben then continued, "You haven't given her any happiness and care during your marriage, and she is already thirty years old. Do you know a woman's youth is short lived?"
"If Brad is too young to stand and walk by himself and needs her mother's care and love, Eileen would never agree to divorce.'
"But Brad is eight years old now, and he has become more sensible. Sometimes, he acts like a grown-up and can think of things that even adults tend to ignore."
"If he has to choose between a complete family maintained by a loveless marriage and her mother's happiness, he will definitely choose the latter!"
Frowning deeply, Luke narrowed his eyes and shot a cold glance at Ruben.
"Don’t pretend like you know everything. You have no right to interfere with our domestic affairs!"
"It's so ridiculous to think that our marriage is a tool to maintain a complete family! Eileen still loves me, so she doesn't have to put up with our marriage!"
Ruben smiled faintly and retorted, "I have t o remind you that she may have loved you deeply before, but now she doesn't love you anymore. Otherwise, she wouldn't have treated you like this, would she?”
Ruben’s words indeed hit the nail on the head.
Luke's expression changed drastically in a n instant.
He felt as if someone had thrown a huge stone in his heart, which froze him on the spot.
Then he flew into a rage and snapped," She’s just angry with me. After she calms down, we’ll get back together!"
Luke tried to suppress his urge to punch Ruben right in the face.
