American TV series: Start with the little Sheldon's wool

Chapter 418 Women's Sixth Sense

It was evening, when Mike was busy trying on Christmas clothes with the girls in the bathroom, living room, kitchen and other places in the luxurious villa.

Mark, who is emotionally anxious, is also seeking help from his rich second-generation friend Ned in his luxurious villa.

"What do you think I should do to prevent Scarlett from divorcing me in a week?" Issues like children have to be put on the back burner for Mark. What he fears most now is that his wife will file for divorce in court.

According to the new Marriage Law, Scarlett has been separated from her husband for more than three months, so as long as she goes to court to file for divorce, she can get a divorce regardless of whether her husband is present or not.

Mark wanted to redeem himself, but at the age of eighteen, he simply couldn't do it, which was the reason for his distress.

"Hey, think about it on the bright side... Maybe, if you confess to Scarlett in your current appearance, she will forgive you. You have to know that this is an eighteen-year-old body..." Ned, the second-generation rich man who was wearing an imitation Iron Man suit in the living room, raised his hips with a wicked smile.

This second-generation rich man is different from others. He doesn't like to live a life of luxury and debauchery. Instead, he is very keen on collecting all kinds of figures.

In the display cabinet in his living room, there are countless expensive life-like figures, including Spider-Man, Batman, Flash, Star Trek series, etc.

"I'm serious, Ned~" Anxious Mark glared at his friend who was both introverted and childish, warning him to be serious.

Of course, it is precisely because Ned has such a cool side that he can get along well with Mark and become friends for many years.

"I'm serious too..." Ned took off the Iron Man mask on his face and said, "You often complained to me before that Scarlett was too strict with you and the children were disobedient...

Now is your chance to break away from it all and start over as a young person.

Also, don’t you like basketball? You’ve always dreamed of becoming a professional basketball player. As long as you lead the Columbia University basketball team to win the college basketball league championship this year, there will definitely be professional basketball teams interested in you…”

"To be honest, I'm beginning to envy you now."

As a best friend, Ned really cares about his buddies.

It was precisely because he knew how failed his friend’s previous marriage was that he advised him to start a new life.

"I..." Mark was stunned by his friend's words, and then retorted: "You have never been married, you don't understand~"

KO!!!

Just one sentence made Ned, a psychologically immature man in his forties, fall into autism.

"But you are right, my marriage with Scarlett is a failure. Since she wants a divorce, I should give her freedom..." Mark thought a lot that day, from his high-spirited self back then to the changes after marrying Scarlett.

When he was 18 years old, he had the opportunity to become a professional basketball player, but when he learned that his girlfriend was pregnant, he gave up his basketball dream and chose to marry her.

This should have been a sweet start...

However, with the trivialities of married life, the daily necessities of life, and the unsatisfactory work, Mark couldn't help but miss his basketball dream.

I can't help but think: If I hadn't married Scarlett, I would have become a professional basketball player, and that would have been a wonderful life.

Moreover, the more unhappy people’s lives become in middle age, the stronger Mark’s thoughts become.

Until the end, he couldn't help complaining to his wife, his temper became more and more weird, and even his children became his "punching bag".

"I am not a good husband, nor a good father. I destroyed my happy family with my own hands..."

Mark, who reviewed his previous life, made the right judgment.

Now he has begun to think that divorcing Scarlett is the best option. She no longer has to endure his bad temper, and she can go back to her 18-year-old self and try to pursue her basketball dream.

"Thank you, Ned~" Mark, who had figured out a lot of things, said to his confused friend: "I already know what to do."

After saying this, he made up his mind and went to his room, intending to have a good sleep and recuperate.

Today, he is exhausted both physically and mentally.

"Ah?" In the living room, Ned, still wearing the high-end imitation Iron Man suit, scratched his head with his hand.

He didn't understand why his friend thanked him, nor why his emotions were so inconsistent.

'Maybe it's the rebellious phase of adolescence!'

In the end, Ned, who was seriously suffering from the second-year syndrome, also made his own judgment.

It can be said that during this period of time, he has taken care of his good friend like a "son" and has actually experienced some of the feelings of being a father.

……

Another week passed, and Mark, having made up his mind, no longer tried to get close to his three family members. Instead, he began to practice his basketball skills seriously.

It was precisely because of this serious attitude that his basketball skills, despite his already solid foundation, improved by leaps and bounds. He even surpassed the other "Werewolf" star of the Columbia University basketball team at one point in his popularity on the team.

Moreover, in the quarter-finals of the college basketball league this week, Mark also had a very eye-catching performance and ultimately helped the team win.

This also won him more love from his coach and teammates.

It can be said that after Mark adjusted his attitude, his life has been like a fish in water.

Finally, it was the weekend again, the day Scarlett filed for divorce.

In the court, a woman with a haggard face held all the certificates needed for divorce in her hands, but she was reluctant to hand them over to the judge, as if she was waiting for something.

After a long time, under the woman's hopeful gaze, a man walked in from the door of the court.

"Where's O'Donnell? Why are you wearing his coat?" When Scarlett saw who it was, she felt a surge of anger blocking her chest.

Originally, the woman had not decided whether she really wanted to divorce, and she even thought about whether she should agree if her husband asked her to stay today.

But Mark's appearance completely shattered her fantasy. And the coat he was wearing proved that the 18-year-old boy was indeed related to her husband.

The issue of "illegitimate child" appeared in Scarlett's mind again.

The woman even misunderstood: at this important time today, her husband was still unwilling to show up, and instead sent his "illegitimate son" over, which was a humiliation to her.

Scarlett showed her good manners by not starting a fight on the spot.

However, the woman might never have thought that the reason why Mark appeared here wearing his old clothes was that he wanted to give his wife a complete beginning and an end.

Although he could not reveal his identity, he still wanted to express his guilt in his own way.

"O, O'Donnell, he won't come today." Mark faced the woman's angry eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "But he asked me to bring a letter, an apology letter to Ms. Scarlett..."

After saying that, under the puzzled gaze of the woman opposite, Mark took out a piece of letter paper, unfolded it and read it carefully:
Dear Scarlett, I am sorry that I cannot be here in person today due to personal reasons. However, I still want to say "I'm sorry" to you. I failed to give you a happy life as promised, and failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a husband and father...

I feel so guilty towards you and my family, but I want to thank you for your tolerance and dedication to me...

……

As Scarlett read the apology letter, her eyes gradually blurred as she recalled various scenes from her life with her husband.

If possible, she would like the apology to come from her husband O'Donnell himself.

It just looked like her husband couldn't even apologize in person. This "cowardly" behavior disappointed Scarlett again.

Moreover, the irresponsible behavior of the other party similar to today's has happened many times in life. It is these small "disappointments" that come together that make Scarlett gradually lose patience with her husband.

"If ending the marriage is what you want, then I choose to fulfill your wish..."

As the woman's thoughts drifted away, Mark's letter came to an end: "After the divorce, I still wish you happiness~

Love you forever, O'Donnell."

After saying this, Mark folded the letterhead, gently placed it on the chair beside him, then turned and left the court.

After listening to the entire "apology letter", Scarlett could no longer hold back her tears.

In fact, deep in her heart, she still loves her husband.

She even fantasized that if this apology letter was read out by her husband himself, she would forgive him.

Unfortunately, no if...

The woman stood there blankly, her whole body revealing a feeling of loss.

it's all over!
However, the woman looked up inadvertently and seemed to see the back of her "husband" unexpectedly.

'How can this be! '

Scarlett wiped the tears from her eyes in surprise and looked again, only then did she see clearly that the figure was Mark's leaving figure.

"It's just that they are too similar, the way they walk, and the feeling they give..."

Sometimes people are like this. When they have a sudden flash of inspiration, they will have some "sixth sense" that even they don't believe in.

But Scarlett was sure that her feeling was absolutely correct.

In order to capture the feeling of the moment, the woman walked quickly to the door and picked up the letterhead on the chair: the handwriting was familiar, but it was not her husband's current note.

A bold idea once again came to the woman's mind, and she ran out of the court gate in a frenzy.

It’s just a pity that the only person who could give her an answer has disappeared at the door.

……

On the other side, Mark walked out of the court and got into the luxury car of his rich second-generation friend. With the roar of the engine, the man hid his face between his legs and tears rolled down his face.

It is said that men don't shed tears easily. Ned didn't know how to comfort his friend, so he could only speed up again and let the roaring engine take away all the unhappiness.

"Are you feeling better?" Half an hour later, Ned parked the car outside an empty suburb and threw a bottle of water to the person in the passenger seat.

Mark has raised his head now, but his eyes are still red: “Why do you let me suffer all this…”

A trick of God?
Obviously, Mark thought of the "old man" who made himself younger, and that person might be the legendary God.

It was clearly that rainy night that I had helped the other person out of kindness.

Now, isn't this repaying kindness with enmity?

If I hadn't been turned into what I am now by the other party, would I still have a chance to win back my wife...

Even though he was mentally prepared, when it came to divorce, Mark's heart was still filled with regret and sadness.

To the point that he blamed the failure of his marriage on the "God" who made him younger.

'The rebellious period has become even worse! ! '

Next to him, Ned watched Mark changing his face like crazy, sighed helplessly, and moved away honestly.

After all, teenagers are in their rebellious youth and most people can't afford to mess with them.

At the same time, Scarlett drove back home quickly from the court. As soon as she entered the house, she rushed into the utility room and rummaged around.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Alex, who knew that today was his parents' divorce date, looked at his mother's abnormal behavior and followed her worriedly.

"By the way, do you have Mark's handwriting? Help me find it, it may be useful to me..." Scarlett didn't know what she was thinking of, and directly gave her son a task.

"Mark's handwriting?" Alex didn't understand his mother's intention, but thinking that the other party must be in a bad mood because of the divorce today, he didn't dare to ask more and could only leave in a hurry.

In fact, the boy was also very distressed in the past week. After experiencing the "diary peeking incident" last weekend, he found that his "big brother" Mark was deliberately distancing himself from him at school.

Alex mistakenly thought that it was because he did not support "Big Brother" in that incident that made the other party hate him, and he was sad for a long time.

But he probably couldn't imagine that the reason his "big brother" acted like this was because he was divorcing his mother.

Alex was simply implicated.

Not long after, when Alex found the precious basketball training plan that "Big Brother" had written for him in the room and returned to the warehouse, he saw his mother holding two pieces of letterhead paper of different ages in her hands, with an obscure expression on her face.

It was like being surprised, happy, and unbelievable...

Yes, there were two letterheads in Scarlett's hand, one was the "apology letter" that Mark had just left, and the other was a love letter that O'Donnell wrote to her when he was young.

To the woman's surprise, the handwriting on the two letterheads was exactly the same, a discovery that seemed to confirm her bold guess.

This is also why the expression on Scarlett's face is so complicated.

"Mom, this is what you want." Alex carefully handed over Mark's handwriting.

Then, three pieces of paper with the same handwriting were placed in front of Scarlett one by one.

At this moment, she seemed to understand a lot of things. But again, how could this be possible?
