Jordy never loved Gloria with all his heart. She had been living without him all year round. He never did his husbandly duty to take care of her. If they were forced to be together any longer, she would only get hurt.
But Karen could not bear to see them apart. She was feeling a storm of mixed emotions!
Now all she wanted to do was call Jordy. She was furious with him.
Karen took a deep breath before saying, "Gloria, hold on a second. I am gonna call that bastard!"
"Grandma."
Gloria's calm voice called out before Karen could hang up. Karen's hand on the phone trembled.
Gloria continued calmly, "You like me and have taken care of me all these years, and I appreciate that. But... all good things must come to an end. Jordy and I can't keep this marriage going, but that doesn't affect the bond between you and me. I'll still think of you as my own grandmother, and I'll visit you often and chat with you, okay?"
