A Moment in Destiny

There was a problem in their marriage, that they couldn’t trust each other completely. They were like two hedgehogs in winter where they hadn’t found the right distance between each other. They would get hurt if they got too close, but they would feel cold if they got too far away from each other! She couldn’t find the right solution, so she had to stay away from him.

When she finally said the word of divorce, she instead had a feeling that everything was settled, and she could sleep better at night. She wouldn't be greedy anymore and stop having more expectations!

He wanted all her love. However, he was domineering. He suspected that every man she interacted with was having an affair with her. For her, she didn't like his deception, not even a hint of it.

“You’re still loving him. Why you need to make trouble for yourself?” Ernie said casually but his words had a deep meaning.

Sylvie was shocked. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, “Maybe I’m really getting myself into trouble! But some things are beyond my control. If we can’t continue to put in the efforts, I’ll rather clarify the matters and set us free.”

“Maybe the more you’re trying to be free, the messier your mind will be!”

“At least I feel calm now. A calmer mind is good for our baby’s health! Thinking about it and I think it’s great!”

“You love him so much, but he doesn’t understand you! Is he worthy of your love?” He felt a bit jealous.

Sylvie smiled. "Ernie, whether it’s worth it or not is a matter between me and Marley. I love him, and that will never change. No matter what problems I have with him, it won’t change the fact that I love him. Love can’t be measured. Love is love. He may be bad, just like me, I also have a lot of problems. I can blame him, but I can’t allow others to badmouth him. So, if you think we're still friends, don't say a word against him!"

Ernie was stunned for a while. Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, “Women are weird!”

“Maybe! The food is here, let’s eat!”

When the dishes she ordered were on the table, she stopped talking and started to eat. During that time, Sylvie got her morning sickness once. Ernie gave her a glass of water for her to rinse her mouth.

“Do you have your maternity test?” He asked.

“It’s on tomorrow!” She smiled quietly.

“Ok!” Ernie stopped talking. After the meal, Ernie sent her back. When they reached the entrance of the district, Sylvie insisted him from continuing sending her back to her home.

“Ernie, I’m sorry!” She slightly bowed.

Ernie was stunned and he immediately got back to his sense. He understood that it was because of Evie’s affairs.

“Sylvie, you don’t have to mind it. That incident has nothing to do with you. It was her choice!” Ernie looked at Sylvie. He said deeply and seriously, “Sylvie, men sometimes need tolerance! Although Miriam loves Aiden very much, she was always domineering. Her temper had slowly changed after she was in her forties. I think Aiden would stay with my mom all these years because he was captivated by my delicate mom. You’re right, women should respect and love themselves to get the men’s love! It’s right to not include a hint of hesitation in a relationship! So, I’m not the right person for you. This is because I won’t be exclusive. I’m not sure about Marley. But I do know he won’t cheat in his marriage or his relationship. It’s hard to find a good man, and I urge you to appreciate him! Consider everything I’ve said and stop tossing and turning. I really want you to be happy!”

because she had kept on disturbing him. He showed his findings in front of Jemima and didn’t allow her to continue to disturb him. I think he didn’t tell you the truth because he thought it was the last time they would see each other, and he didn’t want you who were pregnant to misunderstand him. Besides, I’ve slept with Jemima, and she’s not a determined woman! Sylvie, you are faithful, and you’ve won my respect. No matter what, Marley will never let go of you. If you don’t believe,
