Abusive Wife

Chapter 62

“She’s just a child, James. Get changed and go back to your room to dry off. I’ll see you later.” Concerned about Angie, Suzette hastily straightened her clothes and hurriedly intervened.

“You better behave, you bastard, or I’ll kick you out!” James grumbled before pulling his pants up and walking back to his room. Before he left, he gave Angie a final, hard kick! Having been kicked until her entire body was in excruciating pain, Angie lay on the ground with her hands around her stomach. Tears started flowing down her cheeks as Suzette helped her up.

“Mom, how could you possibly want to be with a monster like him? Where were you while he was beating me up? Do you not care for my life? Did you know that I nearly died of hypothermia after passing out outside the restroom this afternoon?” Finally, Angie’s pent-up rage

and frustration erupted.

“Where did you go? Why did you leave me alone with that jerk?”

“Alright, alright. I’m back now, aren’t I? Stop crying and wipe off your tears.” Suzette merely retrieved some tissues from the coffee table and handed them to Angie without much of a reaction to what she had said. Upon hearing her mother’s cold remark, Angie’s sobs only got louder. How could a mother stay silent when her daughter was nearly killed and abused in front of her? She was completely distraught.

“Oh, shut up! Get out of here if you’re going to cry again! We don’t need a crybaby in the house!” Suzette scolded after getting annoyed by Angie’s cries. Angie went silent as she was taken aback by Suzette. To Angie, Suzette was the only person that could help her right

now, and she had endured more than enough!

“Angie, this is how it is now. If you wish to live under another person’s roof, you must abide by their rules. Otherwise, who’s going to put up with you?”

“Mom, it’s his…”

“James is my partner now. Please, just go along with him for my sake.”

“But he took advantage of me! He’d beat me up even if I were to die! Why do I have to put up with all of these?”

“Perhaps he wouldn’t have acted that way if you hadn’t made him angry. Angie, things have changed, and so should your attitude!”

“Mom, but he’s a monster, you…”

Suzette’s furious expression cut Angie off before she could finish her
