My mother-in-law pulled me, patted her other side and said with a kind smile, “Come, sit here. “Today I made you a fish and chicken soup. You must try it. It's so delicious.”
My mother-in-law was my mother's best friend and had always been very nice to me. That was why, I could not help feeling a little sad when I was about to talk divorce.
But I had no choice. It was not my fault who made the relationship come to an end.
I held my mother-in-law's hand and patted the back of her hand, “Mom, I won't be attending the dinner tonight. I'm here because I have something very important to say.”
In an instant, my mother-in-law's smile froze on her face, “Is it can't be discussed after dinner, Claudine?”
I shook my head, turned to look at Harvey and said what I had been holding in my heart for many days.
“Dad, Mom, I want to divorce Harvey.”
As soon as the words fell, the whole restaurant fell silent. Even the aroma of the meal floating in the air suddenly became heavy.
My father-in-law looked at me in disbelief and muttered, “Claudine, divorce is no joke, especially for you and Harvey. There are too many issues involved.”
