My Brother, My Wife, and Their Son Chapter 8
The next time I saw Tabitha, Mom, and Dad was a month later. I hadn't expected them to come looking for me.By then, I had already bought a house here and transferred Arlene to a new school.The moment Mom and Dad saw me, their eyes reddened."We know now that Clarence was pretending to be sick. You and Arlene have been put through so much all this time.""Adam, I'm sorry. I didn't know Clarence was faking his illness. Let's go home."Tabitha's voice was hoarse, as if she had been crying.I quietly put some distance between us. I didn't understand why she had suddenly shown up here. After all, she had long since known about my filing for divorce.Aside from that, what possible reason could she have for coming all this way to find me?"Tabitha, whatever your purpose is in coming here today, I won't withdraw the lawsuit."I was dead set on divorcing her, no matter what.Back then, it was because I was too softhearted that Arlene ended up being hurt. Now I didn't want to repeat

Mom and Dad hurried over soon enough.When Dad learned that Arlene and I were gone, he refused to believe it at first."Could Adam just be sulking?" he asked.Tabitha shook her head."Dad, he's blocked my calls and texts."Hearing this, Dad still didn't believe her.It was Mom who called me instead, only to discover that I had blocked her number too."Adam blocked me. You try calling him."Hearing Mom say this, Dad called me.Sure enough, his number had been blocked too."That's impossible. No way would that little piece of shit do this.""Don't tell me he's mad just because we missed Arlene's birthday last time," Mom said, a little irritated.Tabitha was in no mood to listen to all this."Clarence was faking his illness," she explained to Mom and Dad. "We were all in the wrong about what happened last time. We shouldn't have left Arlene and Adam behind."Logically, Mom and Dad wouldn't have believed it. But now, faced with me not responding to any messages, they felt jus

"Tabitha, Clarence keeps crying for you. He won't go to sleep otherwise," Glen said urgently.Clarence's crying came through from the other end, but Tabitha had no time to dig into what was really going on.She tossed the divorce papers back onto the table and left in a hurry. However, she felt inexplicably irritated the whole way there.Sitting in the car, she kept thinking about the divorce papers. Even though she hadn't read the contents clearly, she knew that this time I was serious.She recalled the disappointed look on Arlene's face when she had left on her birthday.If catching Tabitha cheating had only disappointed me, then this divorce meant cutting all ties for good. Never again would I give her another chance.Tabitha took a deep breath.Soon, she arrived at Glen's place.The door was ajar. She reached out to push it open, but then she heard voices coming from inside."Daddy, do I still have to pretend to be sick like last time? Won't Mommy find out?"Standing outs

After receiving Glen's call, Tabitha was beside herself with worry.She had given birth to Clarence after a difficult labor, which was what led to his poor health and congenital heart disease.Likewise, Mom and Dad's worry was plain to see. Clarence was their precious grandson, after all.Running several red lights the whole way, the three of them finally arrived at the hospital. They pushed the door open and saw Clarence lying weakly in the hospital bed."Mommy, you finally came. I thought you didn't want me anymore."Clarence's weak voice made Tabitha's heart ache.These past days, in order to avoid causing friction, she had gone a long time without seeing Clarence.But at the end of the day, both Clarence and Arlene were her own flesh and blood. Moreover, she had suffered so much to bring Clarence into this world, so how could she really have the heart to ignore him?The moment Glen saw Tabitha, his eyes reddened instantly."The doctor said Clarence is fine. You don't need

Owing to the guarantee Mom and Dad had given for Arlene's sake, Glen and Clarence never once again appeared before me and Arlene.Even though everything seemed to have returned to normal, I knew that Tabitha and I could never go back to how we were.On Arlene's fifth birthday, Mom and Dad specially booked out an ocean cruise restaurant for her. This was because Arlene had said she wanted to see the sea.Tabitha had also cleared all her work in advance.The whole family was together, and Arlene was overjoyed.I thought that no matter what, they would spend a perfect birthday with Arlene. But when it came time to cut the cake, Tabitha's phone wouldn't stop ringing.When she didn't answer, the calls started coming through to Mom's and Dad's phones.I knew there was no one else it could be but Glen.At first they still had some consideration for me, so they declined the calls. But after several calls in a row, Dad was the first who broke. He stepped out of the private room to take

I didn't go into Mom's hospital room.After getting Arlene settled, I asked the doctor for an update."Mrs. Wilder? She's fine. She just got so worked up that she passed out. Just make sure not to upset her again after this."The knot of anxiety in my chest slowly loosened. When all was said and done, she was still my mother at the end of the day.I glanced at the tightly shut hospital room door, feeling a wave of exhaustion.Mom was hospitalized for three days. During that time, Glen and Clarence deliberately avoided me and Arlene.That was, until Mom was discharged and returned home.Thinking of her poor health, I hesitated for a long while but ultimately brought Arlene back to my parents' house.The moment I stepped through the door, I heard Mom asking, "Tabitha, isn't it about time Clarence got his Social Security number?"I abruptly stopped in my tracks as I watched Tabitha nod."You're right, Mom. It's just that Adam—"Dad let out a cold snort and slammed his water hea
