The Love of Burning the Wild Rose

On the eve of our anniversary, my husband, Dominic Prescott, walked hand in hand with his first love, Elsie Stockton, into the hotel.

I dialed Dominic's number, but the person who answered my call was my thirteen-year-old son, Gavin Prescott.

He said, "Dad is having a parent-teacher meeting. Don't disturb him!"

With that, Gavin hung up the phone directly and blacklisted me.

Later that night, Dominic and Gavin punished me, saying that I disrupted the family harmony.

They locked me on an open balcony, where the wind howled all night, and I stood there all night.

This time, I really learned my lesson!

Though feverish, I placed the divorce agreement in front of Dominic.

I asked Dominic for a divorce!

——

In the study...

Hearing the word divorce, Dominic didn't even lift his eyelids and continued dealing with his work.

I waited there for about an hour.

Just as I was about to faint, Dominic finally spoke.

"Aryanna Gale, you want to divorce me just because I punished you?

"But it was you who did something wrong in the first place. Shouldn't you be punished?"

I opened my mouth but didn't say anything.

For the first time, I resisted the urge to defend myself.

I just pointed at the divorce agreement and said to Dominic, "Sign it."

Dominic didn't notice the change in my attitude.

He just said casually, "I'll have custody of our son. Do you have any objections?"

I shook my head as a reply. Seeing this, Dominic raised his eyebrows in surprise.

However, to highlight the so-called fairness, he still called Gavin in.

Then, Dominic asked Gavin, "Your mom and I will divorce soon. Who do you want to stay with?"

Gavin was Dominic's son, and they were alike in many aspects.

Apart from their similar appearance, the way they looked at me was also very similar. It was aloof and indifferent.

Gavin said, "My family name is Prescott, not Gale."

If it were in the past, when I heard this sentence, I would definitely stay up all night, silently shedding tears in sadness.

But what happened last night had completely destroyed my last hope.

And my maternal love for Gavin had already disappeared.

Without even looking at Gavin, I turned around and walked back to my bedroom.

In the past thirteen years, I took good care of Dominic and Gavin every day wholeheartedly.

As a result, I neglected myself, and there were very few things that were mine in this house.

It took me less than ten minutes to pack up all my belongings.

As I walked out of the room with my luggage, Dominic was sitting on the sofa checking the stock market.

He didn't even look at me.

"Where are you going? I'll have the driver take you," he said.

"No need," I replied indifferently.

I endured the dizziness and discomfort caused by the fever and walked slowly towards the gate.

Just then, a golf ball flew towards me from the second floor and hit the back of my head hard.

It was from Gavin's game room.

He always practiced indoor golf after finishing his homework.

Both Dominic and Gavin saw me holding my head and curling up ...
