His fury erupted, "You want to divorce ? How many days have we been married, do you take marriage as a joke?! You keep saying you love , that I’m the most important person, but are you planning to make a fool of ? You better take back the word ’divorce’ right now, and never utter it again!"
His hands fell by his sides, clenched into tight fists, barely holding back from hurting himself in a mont of impulse.
"I’ve never considered marriage as a joke, I even once thought it was a lifelong commitnt," Mabel Quinn said.
"Once?" He gritted his teeth, moving closer to her, "Does that an now it’s not? Are you trying to say you don’t love anymore? Is that why you want a divorce?!"
No longer in love? Why did she feel a stab of pain when this thought flashed through her mind? Was it because she had once loved so intensely? She had devoted all her love to this man, but in the end, she realized this love couldn’t hold anything.
"Yes, not in love anymore, so planning to divorce," she said.
The next mont, his hands uncontrollably clutched her shoulders, bringing waves of pain, his grip so strong it seed as if he would crush her shoulders.
"Mabel Quinn, dare to say another word, I dare you!" His eyes were bloodshot staring at her, so fierce, yet so... pleading.
As if begging her not to continue, as if if she continued, this man would go mad, would collapse!
Impossible! Impossible!
She mocked herself inwardly for overthinking, "Kyle, I..."
He forcefully hugged her into his arms, murmuring in her ear, "No more talk of divorce, no saying you don’t love , I know you’re just upset over the kids, just trying to provoke , right."
He held her so tightly, she couldn’t break free.
She tried several tis to push away his embrace, only to be held tighter, and his voice continued by her ear, "About the kids, I know it hurt you, there won’t be a next ti, I’ll have the vasectomy again, this ti, I won’t fail."
Suddenly, Mabel stopped struggling, "Kyle, do you know what I really want?"
"Whatever you want, I can give you!" He said.
"But you can’t let have a child, can you?" She said.
His body stiffened suddenly, then he slowly bent down, his gaze falling on her face again, "But you also said, even if we never have kids, it’s okay, right?"
"Yes, I said that, but it doesn’t an that after having a child, we can just let a healthy little life vanish. Kyle, the love I want and the love you want is actually different. You want control over others, not to be controlled by anyone, you want those you love to obey you, follow your arrangents, everything within your control, be it love, life, or even destiny... but... I am not, for , this control is too exhausting." And her heart had grown cold ti and again, until now, as if there was no feeling of love anymore.
