Chapter 9

Penulis: Second Rain
“Aren’t you done with your tantrum yet, Kendra? Just tell me what you’re unhappy about, and I’ll change it. Isn’t that enough?”

This was the first time Terrence had admitted defeat, and Jared was shocked by it. His eyes widened.

I was unaffected.

I moved aside to let him pass as I prepared to leave.

But Terrence grabbed my hand.

“Come home with me, Kendra.”

Before I could respond, someone stepped in from behind me and blocked Terrence.

“Excuse me, sir. Please watch what you’re doing.”

  • Divorce Is Unnecessary   Chapter 10

    Terrence looked less angry at that. The apartment was a small one, and with all the books I had packed in, it felt even more cramped.Looking displeased, Terrence took a seat on the small couch. Perhaps he realized he had never humbled himself like this in his thirty-plus years.He picked up one of the books and froze. “And here I thought you’d lost interest in all this a long time ago.”I took out a bottle of milk from the fridge, heated it, and handed it to Nate. “Alright, I’ve seen Nate. If there’s nothing else, you can take him home.”Nate clutched the bottle, looking at Terrence, unsure what to do. Terrence held him in his lap and said softly, “Can’t we go back to how things were, Kendra?”“And how were things back then?” I asked lazily as I leaned into the couch. “Do you want me to keep being your fake Mrs. Fulton? Forget it. I’m tired of all that.”Nate seemed to understand a little about what we were talking about. “Mommy, I was wrong. Please come home with Da

But Terrence grabbed my hand. “Come home with me, Kendra.”Before I could respond, someone stepped in from behind me and blocked Terrence.“Excuse me, sir. Please watch what you’re doing.”David stood there with his coat draped over his arm with a calm face.“Who are you?”Terrence’s eyes blazed with fury, and he seemed ready to start a fight. I sighed and stepped in front of David, shielding him behind me.“Enough!”That single word seemed to freeze the moment.Terrence halted and stared at me in disbelief.“You’re on his side, Kendra? Who’s he?”I met Terrence’s bloodshot eyes. “Does it matter? We’re not together anymore, Terrence.”Terrence opened his mouth as if

    “I remember when Kendra first joined our research team. She didn’t know anything back then. She kept following you guys around and asked questions about almost everything.“Back then, I thought that this young lady would definitely make something great of herself in the future.”Prof. Prentice did not continue after that. I lowered my head and quietly sipped some beer. After the meet-up was over, I did not leave in a hurry. After most people had left, I pulled my old notebook from my bag.“Prof. Prentice, I would like to start learning again.”Prof. Prentice was shocked by this. He took my notebook and looked through it. “I was right about you, Kendra. After looking through your notebook, I can see that you have a lot of foresight. Let me think it over tonight, and I’ll recommend you to some research facilities. You can attend some interviews there and see what happens.”David suddenly interrupted him. “Can I take a look?”This was the first time David had spoken to me all

    I was stunned for a moment as I recalled that coldly rational man. I was an orphan who had grown up in an orphanage. As such, I had been eager to do well in all things from a young age. To become more independent, I threw myself into my studies and successfully won a place in Daleport’s best university andand enrolled in the university’s top major.In my second year, I successfully joined a research team with my advisor, even though it was just to do odd jobs on the team. David Westley was the main player on that team. I also used to have a crush on him. Unfortunately, when I was in my third year at university, he went overseas for his studies. Things ended between us before I could even confess my feelings to him.Since I had not answered, my advisor, Prof. Prentice, continued speaking. “I always had such hopes for you and David back then. You two were my very best students. It’s such a shame that you got married right after graduating.”At this point, Prof. Prentice’

    Two years ago, I was finally allowed to see Nate for the first time. I still remembered how it had rained endlessly in Daleport back then. The entire city was drenched.Yet, on the day I went to see Nate, the sun came out. The sky had been blue, with a pleasant breeze in the air. The weather reflected my mood perfectly. I had been so unspeakably happy. I had gone to Fulton Manor early in the morning and waited three whole hours before someone came to open the door. When the butler saw me, he was very displeased. Even so, I did not care. At that time, all I cared about was seeing Nate. In the main hall, I waited for another long stretch of time. It was only when the clock struck twelve that Georgia came out with three-year-old Nate. Seeing his chubby face, I felt tears prickle in my eyes immediately. This was my son, for whom I had endured endless humiliation just so he would be safe. This was my son, who had been ripped away from me right after birth. When Georgia

    “Open the door, Kendra Mercer!”Terrence’s aggressive voice rang out beyond the door, and I jolted from the shock. “How dare you break up with me, Kendra? Open this door!”I sighed. I was in no rush to open that door. Instead, I went and changed into some comfortable and warm clothes. When I opened the door, I found Terrence was not even wearing a coat. It was March in Daleport, and there was still a biting chill in the air. However, it seemed as though Terrence could not feel it at all. “Come in, then.”I stepped aside to let him enter. Then, I calmly sat on the couch. After many years, I had gotten used to withstanding whatever Terrence threw at me, whether it was affection or humiliation. Terrence did not sit. With the way the light was in the room, his huge shadow enveloped me like a shroud. “How dare you try to divorce me, Kendra?”Terrence’s eyes burned holes through me. Rage burned in them like flames.But I looked at him in confusion. “This isn’t the firs
