Charlie smiled before he said, "Don't you know what kind of person Mom is by now? Even if she is really in pain right now, she'll turn it into a momentary pain. A t the same time, she will also turn a short-term pain into a long-term pain. Even if Dad is planning to divorce her, I am afraid it will not be that easy for him to do so."
Claire was taken aback at this time. She suddenly felt a little enlightened.
Based on her mother’s temper and character, it would be very difficult for her father to get what he wanted even if he wanted to divorce her. 2
As she thought about this, Claire suddenly realized that her mother was only putting on an act when she said that she did not want to continue living anymore.
After that, she felt much more relieved.
As soon as they drove the BMW into the villa, they could hear Elaine cursing out loud: “Jacob Wilson, you old b*stard! Don't you have a conscience at all? I’ve already suffered so much because of you and you are still trying to divorce me?" 10
Charlie and Claire got out of the car. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Elaine standing in the living room as she cursed endlessly at Jacob. 2
Because Elaine's two front teeth were still missing,
she would speak indistinctly because of her missing front teeth. Whenever she got agitated, there would not only be air, but she would also be spitting out saliva when she yelled. 9
Jacob was deliberately keeping a distance of more than five meters away from her at this time. He said angrily, "Don't bring up all those useless things with m e now. There aren't any more feelings or affection between us now! There’s no other choice for us but to get a divorce!" 9
Elaine replied, "You scumbag! Stop dreaming already! Let me tell you, I won’t divorce you even if I were to die!"
Jacob said angrily, "You can just wait then! I’ll go to court and file for a divorce with you tomorrow!" 7
Elaine yelled angrily, "Are you trying to fucking bluff m e? Do you think that the court is your house? Do you think that you can go and file for a divorce whenever you feel like it? Let me tell you something! I've already inquired about this matter a long time ago in an effort t o stop you from doing something like this! As long as I refuse to divorce you, then the court won’t grant us a divorce for no reason at all!" 6
Jacob said angrily, "We both no longer have any feelings or affections for each other anymore. The court will definitely approve of a divorce if they realize that this is a marriage without any feelings or affection at all!" 3
Elaine replied triumphantly, "So what if there is no feelings or affection between the both of us? Let me tell you something. There are provisions for all the relevant laws. Even if you're going to file for a divorce on the basis that there is no feelings or affection between the both of us, we have to be separated for at least two years before the court will grant us a divorce!”
Jacob was taken aback. He was very angry and he stomped his feet as he said, "Then...then...then I will separate from you from now on! In two years' time, even if you refuse to divorce me, the court will also grant me the divorce!” 5
