"I'm fine, Mignon. Do you think I can't bear it?" Joanna put the divorce certificate in her bag, looked at Mignon and said with a smile.
Looking at Joanna like this, Mignon became more and more disturbed.
"Don't force yourself to hold on. You can cry in front of me."
"After divorcing me, I hope he can be happy."
"Then... are you sure you don't want to take Kerr away?" Seeing that Joanna had no violent mood swings, Mignon was relieved. However, when she thought of Kerr, she asked again with worry.
"Kerr... I can rest assured if he lives in the Xis, because you will take care of him." Joanna said with a gentle expression, which made Mignon feel bitter in her heart.
"All right, let's go back. Kerr is coming back after school."
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve." Joanna looked up at the grey sky above her head and said with a faint of grief in her eyes.
"Yeah, the new year is coming." Mignon took a look at Joanna and nodded gently.
On the day before the New Year's Eve, Joanna and Cedric got divorced. Mignon felt mournful when she thought about that. Kerr didn't know that Joanna and Cedric had divorced. He had been very obedient these days, because he knew that his parents were quarreling, so he didn't want them to worry about him.
In the evening, after accompanying Kerr to do his homework, Joanna took a bath for him and asked him to go to bed.
"Kerr, I can't be by your side in the future, but you have to be obedient. You have to listen to your auntie and uncle, understand?" Joanna said to Kerr with a serious face.
Hearing this, Kerr immediately reached out and grabbed Joanna's hand. He stared at Joanna with his big eyes.
"Mom... are you leaving?" Joanna's heart skipped a beat when she heard Kerr's words.
"I'm sorry, Kerr... I don't want to leave you... but... I really have no choice... You have to be obedient, understand?" Joanna looked at Kerr's tender face with tears in her eyes and said in a choked voice.
Looking at the tears in Joanna's eyes, Kerr's hands trembled slightly. Then he raised his hand, rubbed Joanna's eyelids softly and said, "Mom, don't cry. If you're not happy, leave here. You'll find a better man."
"Kerr." Joanna's heart ached when she heard Kerr's words. She didn't want to leave Kerr and wanted to stay with him forever.
But... it... was just her extravagant hope.
Kerr closed his eyes and grabbed Joanna's hand, saying in a sweet voice, "Mom, as long as you feel happy. I will wish you good luck. Mom, don't cry. You're the most beautiful mother in this world."
"Fool child." Kerr's words moved Joanna. He was her child, her only child.
"Kerr, I will come to pick you up when I settle down. Is that okay?"
"Okay." At this moment, the wind outside the window slowly blew through the curtains, which was a little bit soft and tender.
When Joanna came out of Kerr's room, she saw Cedric standing in the corridor. She didn't know when Cedric came back. When she saw Cedric, she said in a daze, "When... did you come back?"
"Has Kerr fallen asleep?" Cedric raised his head. Under the dim light, his eyes couldn't be seen clearly. Joanna could only see his perfect outline. She couldn't see the expression in his face.
"Yes, he's asleep." Joanna pinched her palm, took a deep breath and then said to Cedric blandly.
Hearing this, Cedric was a little stiff and sombre. He stepped forward and hugged Joanna's body.
He couldn't bear to leave Joanna. He wanted to hug Joanna, he really wanted to held her in his arms.
"Cedric, will you be happy after divorcing me?" Joanna did not resist Cedric, but reached out to hold his waist tightly and asked in a faint voice.
Cedric's body trembled slightly. He buried his face in Joanna's chest and murmured, "I will be very happy."
"That's good. As long as you feel happy. Perhaps, I can't give you happiness, so you want to divorce
__ _ n
me.
Joanna said to Cedric with a particularly beautiful smile.
Cedric's body suddenly froze. He wanted to tell Joanna that she was the best woman in this world and it was his fault.
He had always been not worthy of Joanna.
"Have a good rest." After composing his emotions, Cedric slowly let go of Joanna's body. He took a deep breath and said to Joanna.
Joanna looked at Cedric in a daze and nodded slightly. After she watched his lonely and indifferent figure disappear, she wiped the tears in her eyes and slowly took a breath.
"Cedric, promise me that you will definitely be very happy, right?"
On the New Year's Eve, everyone got up very early. Nacho and Mignon held Chester and waited in the living room for Cedric, Joanna and Kerr.
Cedric and Kerr came down, but they didn't see Joanna. Mignon got up and asked Cedric with concern, "Cedric, didn't Joanna come down?"
