"I earned it all by myself. My life is without pressure, and I feel especially strong. Also, I would still have a few dollars left over every month. One year later, I would be able to have more than one thousand dollars in savings. I will be very happy to have my own savings. I mean it. I just feel I am going great right now."Upon saying that, Ruth looked at Ryan again.After taking a look at him, tears instantly welled up in Ruth's eyes. "R…Ryan…"Ruth felt a lump in her throat as soon as she called out to him, "Ryan… We… I have already thought it through. Both of us are truly not suitable for each other. Let's…get a divorce!"After she said that, Ruth's tears immediately gushed down her cheeks.At that moment, was she still in love with Ryan?Yes. She loved him very much, deep down.However, she truly could not stand being in the Poole family and being disliked by her mother-in-law anymore. She had brought both her sons with her back to South City. Originally, she thought tha
Ryan sneered. "Hmph! You don't even know what happened to your sons, and you had the cheeks to say that I don't care about you and don't take care of your sons?"Ruth was speechless."Ruth! Everybody has different ways to get along with one another. The reason Uncle Alex could treat Aunt Jane as the apple of his eyes and let her do whatever she pleased was that she has never been one to do whatever she pleased, to begin with. Even if you were to take a butcher's knife and put it in her hands, the first thing she would do is not to use the knife to kill others. Instead, she would be so frightened that she would faint in Uncle Alex's arms. She always takes the big picture into consideration! She would always keep all of the grievances that she has suffered and all the disdainful treatments she has received from my grandmother and my aunt to herself! She would never let my uncle know! Everything that Aunt Jane did was for the sake of my uncle. She is devoted to him. My uncle knows that
"What are you trying to boast about, Ruth? Are you boasting about your integrity or your disdainfulness? Do you know if you boast like that, you're just gambling with your sons' lives? Bullshit, Ryan Poole! Since when have I gambled with my sons' lives? I admit that my sons are not living as comfortably as they did when they lived with the Poole family when they were with me. However, I've given them everything that I could give! No matter how willful and how unreasonable I am, I will never let my sons suffer no matter what! Ryan Poole, you've gone overboard!" Ruth actually cried because of what Ryan had said about her.When she heard what Ryan had said, she was actually reflecting on herself.Ryan was right. She was indeed a little self-centered. She never took the big picture into consideration, and she had always felt like she was making compromises for the greater good.However, Ryan said that she had mistreated her sons and had been gambling with their lives. That was an absolu
Ryan was so angry that he immediately shook off Ruth's hands."Also, the license of the daycare center that you had sent the children to was incomplete, but you just went with them because they are cheap! You were just thinking that they were cheap! Did you know why that center had dismissed two people? It was because those two people had priors for being hot-tempered in the local kindergarten. They more or less did not treat the children well. They were unable to find jobs in their hometowns! It's not to say that they had abused the children. The main thing was that their lives had never been smooth sailing, which led to them losing their temper and having mood swings very easily. Have you investigated their backgrounds when you handed your children to them? It's reasonable to say that a person's misfortune in his or her family and the mishaps in all aspects are not enough to prove anything. It would be fine as long as the person knew how to keep themselves in control and how to love
"Therefore, Hana exhausted all the ways to take care of my parents. To be honest, my parents didn't like Hana, at first. After all, this was her second marriage and she is older than me. However, after Hana had worked hard for so many years, they now love her more than they love me and my younger sister. That was what she had gotten in exchange for true affection. We're all a family. Nobody is more superior than the other, and nobody is more inferior than the other as well. The most important thing is to tolerate each other, get along with each other, and love and protect one another. Only that can maintain a good relationship in a family."Ruth looked at Zayn with tears glistening in her eyes. "Thank you, Zayn. I know that you're…lecturing me out of the kindness of your heart.""Ruth, you have to restrain that temper of yours," Sabrina advised her.Ruth bit her lips and hung her head.Seeing that she did not respond for a long time, Ryan said with disappointment, "Ruth, have you t
Sabrina's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Yvonne. Where are you, Yvonne? Which number are you using to call me?"When Marcus, who was next to Sabrina, heard her calling Yvonne's name, he immediately got up, snatched the phone away from Sabrina's hand, and shouted at the phone, "Yvonne, where are you? Yvonne, I am your husband—"The call was disconnected from the other end of the line at that instant."Yvonne! Yvonne!" Marcus shouted.What he heard coming from the other end of the line was the busy tone that made him feel extremely hopeless.Sabrina looked at him while feeling heartbroken. "Marcus, you…shouldn't have been so impatient just now. How great of a chance it was for Yvonne to call me."Marcus burst out in tears. "It's all me. It's all my fault…."He sobbed. He was such an unyielding and tough man, but he was crying his heart out in front of everyone. Sabrina, Jane, Ruth, Hana, Minerva, and Isadora, who were all next to him, could not help but cry along with him as well
Sabrina, who was sitting at the side, said to everyone. "Alright. Enough with thanking each other. We've been through too many things recently. Everything is over now. Yvonne is not present now, but it's good news that she is still alive. Everyone living in this world will encounter plenty of imperfections. Therefore, since it's so difficult for all of us to be gathered here today, let's not think about other things anymore. It's a happy occasion that we've reunited here today.""Yes, it's a happy occasion!" Marcus was the first to shout out.Nobody knew how miserable he was feeling in his heart. However, he was also feeling happy. That was because Yvonne did not die. As long as Yvonne was still alive, that would be the hopeful thing that could make him feel the happiest.After that gathering, everybody returned to their respective peaceful lives.Ruth and Ryan had already made up with each other. Both of them had grown quite a bit through this incident. They had apologized to each
Sebastian sighed. "I didn't think so in the past. I would never have thought about all these as well. I only knew to focus on fighting for more riches and power. As long as someone offended me, I would certainly punish the person. I had never thought twice about it. If I were to look around, nobody in my surroundings could be my match. However, things are different now. I have three children now. I have you as well. These are people I care about and also my concerns, which is also the most tender part of me. Not only do I have the four of you, but I also have all these relatives now. Sabrina, you may never be able to imagine it, but a heartless man like me who did not care about family relationships at all would actually care for these relatives as well."Thinking of that, Sebastian suddenly smiled gently."Take Minerva, for example. She and I are not related by blood, but when I heard that she was abducted, I wanted to kill someone. There's Zayn and his child as well. Also, there's
