The Hated Lives, the Loved Is Gone Chapter 8
"June."His voice was choked with emotion.Theodore stood there in a brown overcoat, looking worn down and exhausted.I raised my eyes to meet his. This time, I didn't look away like before."Have you thought it through?"He faltered, clearly taken aback that my first words to him were so cold."June, is divorce really the only thing you want to talk to me about now?"I gave a faint smile. "What else is there?"Theodore's eyes suddenly reddened. He pressed his lips together before looking at me again."I've decided not to move overseas."We'll stay here and go back to the way things were. I'll take care of our son from now on. If you want to work, then work. Whatever you want is fine."He sounded as though he were making a huge concession.I merely shrugged."I can already do all of that."Theodore, I suddenly realized something. My life without you isn't any different from before."His expression stiffened, as though the words had struck somewhere painful.But it was the truth.Whenev

I left the city with my son and began traveling around the country.I used to beg Theodore to take trips with us, but his answer was always no. It wasn't until I saw new places and experienced different things that I finally realized something.We could have just as much fun without him.When we arrived in another city, a string of messages came through on my phone.Theodore had written, "If you don't come, then don't expect to ever see me again."I didn't reply.That was exactly what I wanted.Life with my son wasn't much different after leaving Theodore. Even before that, I had handled everything myself, big or small.Since our son was born, Theodore had never once made him a bottle or put him to sleep.There was one thing he'd said that was absolutely true."Besides, you've been doing fine taking care of him on your own. You're getting better at it every day."And I had.Maybe my son didn't need a father after all.The divorce, however, was going nowhere, so I finally called Theodor

"T-Teddy..."Vivi shot to her feet, her face turning pale.Theodore walked toward her, glancing at the men before turning his eyes on her."What did you mean just now? What do you mean you framed June for the whole thing?"The men exchanged uneasy looks, but none of them dared to speak.Vivi forced a smile and tried to play it off."We were... we were just joking around. We were saying how kind June is..."But as she spoke, she noticed Theodore's expression growing darker."Aren't these the men who assaulted you? Why are they at your place joking around with you?"Vivi swallowed hard, scrambling for an explanation, but the men quickly started pleading for themselves."Mr. Shaw, we were only doing what we were paid to do. Please don't blame us. It was Vivi-"Vivi shot the man a warning look, and he immediately shut his mouth.That was all Theodore needed to hear.He let out a humorless laugh. "Vivi Wells, you really put on one hell of a show. You even had me fooled."His expression grew

"June? June?"He called June's name twice, but the only answer was the hollow echo of his own voice.He set down what he was carrying and walked toward the bedroom. When he pushed open the door, he started to call out again."June..."Then he stopped.All the bottles and toiletries that had once filled the room were gone, and so was the stroller that had always sat in the corner."Fine." Theodore planted his hands on his hips and stared at the half-empty room. "You really have to play this kind of childish game? You're already a mother, but you're still acting like a kid..."He sounded exasperated, yet part of him felt that this was more like the June he remembered.She used to get upset easily and give him the silent treatment whenever they fought. But no matter how angry she was, all it usually took was a little coaxing from him before she softened again.The thought made him smile despite himself.He took out his phone and called her.But with every unanswered attempt, the same auto

The slap left me completely stunned, and the metallic taste of blood quickly spread through my mouth."I tricked her? I don't even have her phone number."Theodore didn't listen to my explanation. He grabbed me and took me straight to the hospital, pulling me along so quickly that I stumbled the whole way.The baby was frightened and cried loudly in my arms, but Theodore didn't seem to care at all.When we entered Vivi's room, she was curled up on the hospital bed, trembling. The moment she saw me, she immediately threw herself into Theodore's arms."I'm scared. I'm so scared..."I was still trying to figure out what was happening when the five burly men standing near the door turned toward me and started nodding deferentially."Ms. Ward, we did exactly what you told us and assaulted her. Are you satisfied with the result?"I frowned, completely confused."I don't even know you-"Before I could finish, Theodore shoved his phone in front of my face."You're still trying to deny it? Then

My blood ran cold when I saw the immigration approval letter in Charlie's hands.Sure enough, Vivi Wells's name was printed right there on the page.At that moment, the clerk behind the counter slid my own results toward me. I looked down and saw the same answer I had seen so many times before.Rejected.Charlie finally realized what was going on and quietly asked if I was okay. I shook my head, too drained to even manage a thank-you.That evening, Theodore came home and found the dining table buried beneath stacks of immigration applications. The moment he saw them, a look of understanding crossed his face."So you found out."That was all he said. There was no apology in his voice, not even a trace of guilt.He walked over to me, and when he spoke again, his tone had softened."Vivi has wanted to live there ever since she was a kid. I asked a friend to help with her immigration application, so she ended up taking the spot that would've gone to you."My hand, resting on the table, slo
