Chapter 9 $ The daughter was pleasantly surprised to discover that this was the beach trip she had always wanted to go on . Dad , I was so happy ! My daughter didnt sleep much all night because she was so happy. The next morning , I packed my luggage . Seeing her so happy , I decided to have fun first before dealing with the divorce . Things just happened so suddenly . As the ticket inspection approached , Joaquin received a message . He was completely engulfed in a state of panic . Nyla , she , Nyla , she committed suicide , I have to … I nodded with a smile and said , No one is stopping you . 11 He became even more afraid when he saw the smile on my face . Diana , believe me , I was saving lives and nothing else . My smile became more forgiving : Youre right , human life is of utmost importance , I understand you . Joaquin took a deep breath , relieved , and gave me a grateful look . I touched my silent daughter again and then turned around and ran . Once he left , he would lose all the opportunities . My daughter and I watched quietly . People , they were destined long ago . I wont really change myself for anyone . We both exchanged a smile and boarded the plane with no emotions . And we sent him the neatly arranged divorce agreement . When I arrived at the seaside , I changed into a more conservative swimsuit . Lias eyes curved into a crescent moon shape as she said , Mom , you have a great figure , why dont you wear those separated ones ? I felt a little shy and said softly , Mom is old , thats what little girls wear . 1/3 The daughter frowned and said , Who decided that is what girls should wear ! was slightly stunned , yeah , when did I start caring about this viewpoint so much . I pondered for a moment and suddenly remembered . Ah , it turns out it started many years ago . At that time , I had just given birth to a child not long ago . My college friend invited me to go out and have fun . I havent been out for nearly half a year because I have been taking care of the children . That day , I rummaged through my boxes and found the skirt I used to love wearing before giving birth , which slightly accentuated my waist . I eagerly put on the clothes , as if I had returned to the time when I used to play with my friends . Just as I was indulging in the reflection of my image in the mirror , Joaquin passed behind me and uttered a light hearted remark . We are all mothers now , who are you trying to look young and girlish for by wearing little girls clothes ? Besides , just look at your little belly . My smile froze on my face as his words filled me with an indescribable sense of shame . I clumsily took off my clothes all at once , as if I could avoid getting hurt as long as I did it fast enough . Joaquin could see my reaction , but he went even further . He pretended to be considerate of me and said , Look , you also think youre ugly , right ? In the future , wear less of these things that dont match your identity , so as not to be laughed at when you go out . The attack of postpartum hormones and Joaquins cruelty made me completely break down . That day , I was unable to keep the appointment . But instead , at home , I cried as if the world was falling apart . Joaquin not only did not console me , but also said I was being overly dramatic and sensitive by my side .
