She should just forget it and stop thinking about those useless things. Kevin Kyle had already filed for the divorce as she wished.
Now as she tried to recall, Kevin had always agreed to any requests she made over the years. Hence, this divorce was no exception as well.
She stood on the side of the road and looked at the cloudless sky. The world is big, but suddenly, she did not know where she could go.
Go home?
But where was home for her?
She had lost her home!
Since their marriage, home was where Kevin was.
Now that Karen Daly had separated from Kevin, where would her home be?
Where could she settle down in the future?
"Baby, where can I take you to?" Karen asked in her heart while touching her belly.
It was a question for the baby, and also for herself.
Little Karen's custody had been awarded to her. So she had to pick Little Karen up from Secret Garden. She needed to find Little Karen and herself a home.
"Mommy!"
Karen was just thinking about Little Karen when she heard her baby voice. For a second, Karen thought she was hallucinating.
"Mommy!" Little Karen called out again with her sweet voice after not getting any response from Karen.
When she saw Little Karen standing in front of her, she hoped once again.
Yes, without Kevin, she still had two children, Little Karen and the baby in her belly... and Jayden, who was standing behind Little Karen.
Behind Jayden, there was George Ken... and the fluffy ball in George's arms, Momo.
"Woof Woof Woof..." Momo was making noises to get attention.
She had her brother, her children, and Momo... Without Kevin, Karen still had a lot.
But why did she still feel empty when she had so much? No one seemed to be able to fill up the emptiness from the loss of Kevin.
"Mommy, can I have hugs." Little Karen ran over. At such a young age, she did not know that her parents had separated.
Perhaps, she did know that her parents had had a divorce, but she did not truly understand the meaning of divorce. From her perspective, her daddy was still her daddy, and mommy was still her mommy.
It's that simple!
Karen hugged Little Karen, kissed her on the face, and said with a gentle smile, "Little Karen, thank goodness I still have you."
Thankfully, Kevin did not request for Little Karen's custody. When she felt absolutely helpless, she could at least have Little Karen by her side, giving her strength and motivation to move forward.
"Let's go home," George spoke.
He was standing a few steps away from her and was looking at Karen quietly. He seemed to have a lot of things to say to Karen, but in the end, he only said those words.
