During our eight years of marriage, Alexander reminded me of this all the time.
I am nothing in this family.
But the inferiority complex in my heart makes me choose to deceive myself.
Now, I understand.
A person who doesn’t love me, an unhappy home.
It doesn't matter if you don't want it.
I staggered to my feet and tried to take out the divorce agreement from my bag.
Suddenly, his body couldn't hold up and fell down.
When I woke up again, the ward was full of people.
Isabella looked at me with tears in her eyes.
"Sister, it's all my fault. I didn't know my existence would have such a big impact on you."
"I have already taught LeoSophia a lesson, and they promised to apologize to you."
"When you get better, I will leave and never come back!"
Hearing this, the father and his two sons all looked at me with resentment.
Isabella glared at Alexander and motioned for him to get out.
The two children hung their heads and said sorry.
I was just about to speak.
They suddenly laughed evilly.
Leo threw the caterpillar in his hand at my face and screamed.
"Lululu, if it wasn't for Aunt Isabella to marry me, who would apologize to you?"
"You don't know, but Dad really likes Aunt Isabella."
"When Aunt Isabella got tired from walking, Daddy would just carry her on his back. When Aunt Isabella wanted to eat cake, Daddy would run all over town to buy it for her."
"Now she's going to be our new mother, just wait and get lost!"
After that, the two of them ran back to Isabella with their tongues sticking out.
I smacked the caterpillar to death with a cup.
But my heart was burning with pain.
While he was lost in thought, the two parents pushed the door open.
Mr. & Mrs. Anderson exchanged a few pleasantries.
In both words and deeds, they advised me to be more sensible and not bring shame to The Anderson Family.
My parents nodded and agreed.
As soon as the man left, he turned around and slapped me.
"You are useless. You couldn't keep Alexander's heart after eight years of marriage. Isabella can coax him away with just a beckoning of her fingers. What use are you to?"
The more my mother spoke, the angrier she became.
He picked up the feather duster on the table and hit me with it.
When it happened for the fourth time, I couldn't bear it anymore and grabbed her hand.
"You've gotten enough benefits from me over the years. It's time to stop."
Mom sneered twice.
"I don't care what you plan to do, just remember one thing."
"If you dare to divorce, we will publish an announcement in the newspaper to sever our family ties with you. We, The Rossi Family, cannot afford to lose this person!"
The two men walked away angrily.
Only Alexander was left, staring at me quietly at the door.
His warm palm stroked across my swollen cheek.
The tone was calm, without any trace of emotion.
"Why bother?"
"With these two children here, no matter who I think of, you will always be Mrs. Anderson."
"I am not."
I turned sideways, silently avoiding Alexander's touch.
I am a tool used by The Rossi Family to gain benefits, and a reproductive machine for The Anderson Family.
She is a nanny in the eyes of outsiders and a burden in the eyes of her family.
No matter what I do, I can never satisfy everyone.
I have endured this in silence for thirty years.
I'm done.
I looked calmly into Alexander's eyes.
He said word by word: "I want a divorce."
Alexander's face suddenly fell and he returned to his usual indifference.
He only said this at the moment he slammed the door and left.
"You don't know how to appreciate it."
Isabella then moved to The Anderson Family to live with Alexander in the name of helping to take care of the children.
