Why He Gave In のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 8

I looked at her and said flatly, "I just want you and Eason to be happy. I'm not clinging onto the past, so don't overthink things."Joanne cast me a look of defeat, looking like a deflated balloon.Jordan walked over and held my hand."Dad, now that you're back, just focus on spending the rest of your life with mom. I used to say that I like Uncle Eason, but I like you too, Dad. Dad, I think you really should stop your tantrum now. That's not how a man should behave."His words brought a sharp, heart-wrenching pain to my upper abdomen.It hurt so badly my hands started shaking. I turned and walked into my room, shut the door and quickly swallowed two painkillers.The pain had been becoming increasingly intense as of late.I was left with less than two weeks…The door to the room was suddenly kicked open.I hurriedly stuffed the pill bottle under my pillow.Joanne noticed something strange with my behavior when she walked in, as though I was trying to hide something.A look

Unbearable pain started throbbing in my abdomen when Eason threw me a sharp look.I was trying my best to be as compliant and docile as I could so that Dorothy could have a better time in the future.When Eason heard Joanne's footsteps fading away, he walked over with his arms across his chest."If you hadn't kicked up such a huge fuss with Joanne in private, I would have moved in a long time ago. You think you'll make her feel bad by pretending to be magnanimous? Do you really enjoy being made a cuckold?"He was trying to provoke me with his mockery, but I bowed my head and said meekly, "You're overthinking. I said that I welcome you to move in. I give you and Joanne my blessings. Just be good to my daughter."Eason saw that his words had no effect on me and spat in frustration, "I'm warning you, you'd better know your place in this house from now on!"I packed some clothes and daily necessities before leaving the room.Joanne stopped me at the stairwell. "You're just taking th

When the doctors walked in, he headed straight to the stiffened corpse on the floor."Ms. Shields, my condolences…"After some basic checks, both doctors shook their heads in silence as they started keeping their equipment. They picked up the stretcher and made a move to leave.The meaning behind their actions was clear enough.Joanne grabbed one of the doctors."No! Try harder! Doctor, please, I beg you to try again! Send him to the hospital! Send him to the hospital for emergency treatment… Please, I'm begging you. Save him…"The doctor said as comfortingly as he could, "I understand how you feel right now, but it's really not necessary."Joanne threw herself in front of the stretcher, her voice hoarse and her eyes bloodshot. She grabbed the doctor's arm with startling force, still grasping at straws."He was…he was talking just now! He was talking just a few minutes ago! I'm begging you, send him to the hospital, won't you?"The doctor looked helplessly at her, his brows fu

Joanne dashed out of the cemetery like a madwoman and started her car engine.She gripped the steering wheel so tightly, her knuckles turned white and the veins bulged at the back of her hands.The scenery outside the windows sped past.She thought back on the ingratiating and fawning look on Eason’s face, and the look of indulgent fondness he would always give her.All the sweet nothings he whispered to her, telling her that he wanted nothing except to be with her…All those ‘thoughtful’ remarks about Miguel having a bad temper and his heart aching for her over how tough things were for her…Gone was the heartache and butterflies in her stomach she used to feel.All she could see now was the scheming behind every word of his.There was her mother as well. Those encounters she had thought were coincidences turned out to be arranged by her mother.Sowing discord by “accidentally” revealing her dissatisfaction toward her husband…She wasn’t just a betrayer. She was also a puppe
