He rubbed his eyes and looked at Jennifer . " Still mad about yesterday ? " He moved close to her , and a ray of sunlight from the window fell on Jennifer's face . " No. " She got up from the bed and started folding the clothes left unfolded last night . Seeing she didn't even look up at him , Alexander got angry . He grabbed her wrist as she folded , " Jennifer . " His voice turned cold . " I didn't want to argue in front of the child yesterday . Don't act like a three - year - old who won't listen . " She twitched her lips and kept busy with her work . Just then , Alexander's phone alarm went off . " Daddy , please don't forget to pick Mommy up today . " Jennifer's eyelashes fluttered as she held back her tears . " Edward took my phone yesterday . I don't know when he set it . With that , Alexander got up to wash up . Chapter 4 Η Jennifer felt her hands go numb . She unfolded the clothes she had folded and refolded them . Soon , Alexander stood before her , dressed . A white shirt , black leather jacket , and a pair of faded jeans from his usual business style . He had never dressed like that around her before . " Do I look good like this ? " He turned and asked her . - a departure Seeing her still bent over folding clothes , Alexander angrily threw all the clothes from the wardrobe onto the bed . " You'd better keep pretending like this forever . Never speak again . " He slammed the door and left . Only when the sound faded completely did Jennifer slowly raise her eyes . Now , everything about Alexander had nothing to do with her , and she didn't want to care . Once the divorce cooling - off period ended , there would be no ties between them . Nicole had just arrived home and started rearranging the living room furniture to her taste . She had bought a pink - and - white coffee table and placed it in the center of the room . Seeing Alexander approach , she took his arm and asked , " Alexander , what do you think of this coffee table set ? " Without hesitation , Alexander gazed at her tenderly and chuckled , " Whatever you say . " Edward came clattering down the stairs . Pointing at Jennifer , he said , " Mommy , change my throw pillow too . The one Auntie bought is so ugly . " Nicole affectionately patted his head . " Mommy bought you new sheets and pillowcases too . " Jennifer stood at the corner of the stairs , her fingers tightening slightly then relaxing . Just as she snapped back to attention , Edward came down with the throw pillow Jennifer had bought , looked at it with disgust , and threw it in the trash . Her expression froze , a cold glint flashing in her eyes . Jennifer's mother came from the kitchen , passed the dining room , and after respectfully greeting Nicole , she pulled Jennifer into a small room . She locked the door behind them . " Jennifer , what are you doing ? How can you not even keep a man ? Now you've let some other vixen get close to him and move in . Have you thought about how we're going to live ? " Jennifer leaned against the door . Now she felt more like an outsider in this house . ! Chapter " Once the divorce cooling - off period is over , we'll move out . " Jennifer's mother's face fell instantly , slapping Jennifer across the cheek . " You dare get divorced ? I'm not going anywhere else . " She twisted the doorknob and stormed out . Jennifer stood rooted to the spot , letting the ache in her chest consume her . In this house , there was nothing left worth clinging to .
