Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1434

Those words made me very angry.

"Tyler Schuman, have you never reflected on yourself? Have you never thought that maybe you’ve done something wrong? Why don't you face your conscience and ask yourself this? Susan has been beside you for many years, and you know better than anyone how she feels about you, yet you chose to disregard her feelings and take them for granted. You never gave her any response at all. No matter how much she loves you, she won't be able to stand your cold and indifferent treatment forever."

'That doesn't mean that she can find a man out there to gross me out!"

Tyler suddenly roared. "She could just let me know what she wanted. Why must she hook up with another man behind my back?"

I laughed in anger. "Tyler, I always knew you were a selfish person. You don’t care if other people aren’t happy as long as you’re happy. That’s why you disregarded Susan's feelings for you for so many years and messed around with other women out there. You've had so many women by your side over the years and that never cycle never ceased. What makes you think you can keep your marriage and have ongoing affairs while she has to wait for you alone? Don't you think you have an excessively high opinion of yourself?

"Susan is human too, not a cat or a dog you bought from a pet store. She has the right to choose to love you or not, and she has the right to choose not to suffer so much pain and live a better life. She didn't make this choice before because she loved you. "She was by your side for so many years, but do you know her hobbies? Do you know what she really wants to do and what kind of dreams she has? I think you have no idea because you've never cared about her, so you never bothered to get to know her. But she knows everything about you.

Regarding your work and your daily life, she arranged things meticulously almost as if she lived for you. She didn't mind not having a status as your wife and gave you a son. I’m sure you know how much she loves this child, but she actually said things like she was willing to give up the child's custody after the divorce. Her love for you never changed. Even when she's in great despair and has made a tough decision to leave you, she still doesn't want to give you a hard time.”

Tyler looked dazedly at me with a complexion as pale as paper.

I took a deep breath. "You really don’t deserve her, Tyler. You don't deserve this love that once belonged only to you. If you still don't think you're wrong up to this point, then you should hurry up and divorce Susan. She's better off with any ordinary man than with you. She'll only be tortured to death by you if she continues to stay by your side."

Tyler's gaze was blank. I did not know if he listened to what I just said, but I had said everything I could. If he still refused to come back to his senses, then there was nothing else I could do.

It seemed like human nature for us to find unattainable things attractive only to lose interest after attaining them. We did not know how to cherish those things at all, and when the things we had obtained yet did not know how to cherish were lost or became less good, we would start to regret it. We would lament about how we should have cherished them well from the beginning.

However, there was no cure for regret in this world. I genuinely did not wish to see Tyler regret it, but I was not Tyler. I could not make decisions for him.

There was a swimming pool in the Schumans' backyard. No one would be swimming outdoors during this season, and because Carlson had built a hot spring indoors, this swimming pool was left unused. There was nothing special around to admire, so this was not a good place to go for a walk.

When I walked to this part of the house and planned to go elsewhere, I heard women arguing.

Aren't you getting a divorce soon? In that case, you shouldn't be taking anything from the Schumans anymore. You should know how much Tyler dislikes you and doesn’t want to give you anything, so you must leave behind everything that belongs to the Schuman family.”

That was Sara's voice.

I followed the source of the voice and turned to look. Susan and Sara were standing next to the pool. They were not friends, and with the two of them being Tyler's women, Tyler would be the only thing they could talk about.

Susan was not furious by what Sara said. Instead, she looked into the distance at a withered bush and mildly said, "You don’t need to sound so tactful, actually. You just want me to pack up everything the Schumans have given me and hand them over to you, don't you? I know what you want. I also know that you don’t want me to gain anything from Tyler, but you have to be clear that you're not married to Tyler yet."
