Chapitre 122: She Who Told What's Inside

"Why would I lie?" I asked. "Do you think I would make up those words? Do you think that I could cook something like that?"

"Yes!" She said with conviction. "You hated being married right? You never like being married! I saw how you are! You cannot deny those! You were never a good mother! Not a good wife!"

Something inside me cracked. The damn that was holding all my emotions began to have big cracks that I couldn't seem to fix fast enough. Because I was also not trying to.
