Love Mission: Ex-wife Strikes Back

"Of course," Mandy said casually. "Ask yourself, what did you do to her three years ago? You married Terence, but what about Jean? She had been away for more than three years. She did not want to interfere in your life so she went abroad, alone. Hasn't she done enough?

You had been with Terence for the past three years. Were you happy then? Since you were not happy, why don't you let Jean be happy?"

Tears trailed down Julia's face as she struggled to control them. "Is that what you want?"

"Of course." Mandy nodded. "Jean had a hard time in the past three years. Please let Terence go."

"She had a hard time? What about me?" Julia looked at Mandy, contempt evident on her face. "When she was abroad, she did not even care whether you were dead or alive. She turned her back on you and left. I wired her money every month without a complaint. And you,

miles, you will be happy.

Mom, tell me the truth right now. Did you give birth to me?" Julia's eyes did not waver from her mother's face.

But Mandy didn't respond to any of that. She looked at Julia coldly instead and said, "You don't want to support me anymore. That is why you are looking for an excuse, am I right?"

Sneering, she added, "Let me tell you. I suffered a lot when I gave birth to you. I don't think a few harsh words from me are enough for you to forget all my kindness towards raising you.

Don't change the topic anyway. I came here to ask you to stay away from Terence. Can you do it or not?"

"Okay, I promise you," Julia said finally, feeling defeated. Her bitter smile returned. "Starting today, I will never go looking for Terence."

To her, the oath did not mean much since it was Terence who came to see her usually, wasn't it?
