"Bella, why do you come back so soon? Tell me how the Williams treat you." Susan's main concern was her daughter's relationship with Ben, so she was eager to know how they progressed.
"His parents are kind to me. Mom, do you know that Dad broke up with Rosia?" Bella asked anxiously.
Susan said with a disgusted look, "It's hard not to know. Your father got drunk last night and came to me. I let him sleep on the floor all night and I don't know when he left this morning. This old bastard should be given a dose of his own medicine."
Bella was surprised. After a while, she covered her mouth and laughed. "The shoe is on the other foot."
"Of course. I used to think too highly of him, and he despised me. Now that I'm living a happy life, He comes back and wants me to forgive him. No way." Susan got the right idea that man was not the only important thing in her life, and she could enjoy her happy life on her own.
"Mom, listen to this." Bella took out her phone and played the recording for Susan.
"He deserves it." Susan said angrily, "Your father asked for this. Enchanted by Rosia, he lost his mind and kicked his own daughter out while raising a son for someone else. How ridiculous."
Bella also thought that her father made a blunder, but he had to accept the consequence.
"Mom, Dad's company will get better, but he must be having a hard time now." Bella whispered.
"What? Do you pity him? Don't forget how he indulged Rosia to drive us out." Noticing the look on her daughter's face, Susan was annoyed.
"I won't forget. Dad's fault is unforgivable, but ... he's still my father. I can't watch him die of rage, can I?" Bella sighed helplessly.
"It's up to you. I won't bother with that." Susan continued to dance with the people on TV.
Watching her mother enjoy a full life, Bella couldn't help thinking if the relationship between her parents would be better if her mother had stopped her obsession with her father earlier. Loving a person was like holding a handful of sand. The harder you clutched, the faster the sand leaked away. In marriage, people should learn when to tighten and when to loosen. It looked like she needed to study it carefully. After all, she would get married one day.
The next morning, the sky cleared up after a heavy rain in the middle of the night. It was cloudless, and the sun shone warmly.
During the day, June filmed advertisements, discussed with Matilda about the new script, and made appointments of magazine shootings for the next few days. She used to sit back and mope, but now she was busy like a spinning top. In the evening, June went home early without even going to the hospital. Jonas said that he would take her to a banquet, and she would go there as Mrs. Brid.
Mrs. Brid!
She felt numb with this strange identity. She pinched her fingers lightly and looked out of the window. For some reason, she seemed to be looking forward to meeting Jonas.
