My son was called a genius guitarist.
On the day of the classical instrument competition, he failed to win the first place in the online vote.
My son was in a trance and fell off the stage when he left.
I hurried to help my son, but I saw my wife holding her childhood sweetheart’s son and holding the trophy high.
The planner and director next to me laughed and said, “It’s good to be Mrs. Martin’s son. The championship is easy to come by.”
“Well, who said it’s not? Godfrey plays well, but who can blame him for not having a mother and no background.”
My heart was broken. I didn’t expect Alanna to cover up her own son for childhood sweetheart’s son!
But my son climbed up with blood all over his head and grabbed my hand.
“Dad, I don’t want this mother anymore.”
I firmly shook his hand back and said, “Okay, if you don’t want it, I don’t want it either.”
——
When Alanna came back, I had coaxed her son to sleep.
Seeing me sitting in the living room, she was not surprised at all. As usual, she came over and threw a divorce agreement in front of me.
“You were not satisfied last time, so this time I will raise the asset allocation to 30% for you. Is that enough? Jordan, don’t be too ungrateful.”
I didn’t beg her not to divorce me as I did in the past, but I calmly picked up the divorce agreement and read it over again.
Sure enough, it was the same as in the past. The company’s assets were not moved and the remaining real estate cash flow was willing to give me 30%.
But why?
I supported the company with my own hands and the reason for not making the relationship public was because of her self-esteem and vanity.
I stepped back behind the scenes, not to make room for her childhood sweetheart and his son!
I threw the agreement back on the coffee table looked up at her contemptuous expression of “as expected”.
I just looked at her calmly and then asked the doubts in my heart.
“So, today you used means to snatch Godfrey’s championship, is it also to force me to divorce?”
Alanna was stunned and seemed surprised by my calmness.
But she quickly came back to her senses, still looking arrogant.
“I used tricks? Didn’t you use any? Godfrey is already gifted and you took him to master classes and showed off on various self-media. If it weren’t for your management methods, how could he have so many fans at such a young age? Is this fair to Willard? What’s wrong with me helping him?! Willard works so hard, he deserves it! You should also let your son know that there is nothing to be proud of with talent!”
Listening to her unreasonable and strong sophistry, I was so angry that I laughed.
Godfrey prepared for this competition for three years.
In these three years, practicing the difficult operation of six-tone wheel fingering made him suffer a lot.
Even when he was sick, he had to insist on practicing and he didn’t dare to slack off every day.
As a mother, she only saw the efforts of others.
Even in her eyes, talent became a mistake.
Love and hate, it was really clear at a glance!
Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Alanna snorted coldly, took off the scarf and sat back on the sofa.
“Pour me a glass of water.”
I didn’t move. When I lowered my head, I saw her phone screen light up.
A text message from her childhood sweetheart asking, [Did he agree?]
I couldn’t help but sneer.
Alanna glared at me warningly, picked up her phone and unlocked it, then tapped her finger on the screen quickly.
After sending the message, she picked up her coat and was about to go out again.
I frowned and stopped her. “Godfrey fell off the stage and hurt his head today. Where are you going if you don’t accompany him as a mother?”
“Godfrey fell off the stage? No, what’s wrong with you as a father? You do nothing all day long. You can’t even take care of a child. What else can you do?”
