CHAPTER 875: CHAPTER 546: THIS MARRIAGE CAN’T BE SUSTAINED ANYMORE

Russell Miller hesitated but eventually spoke up: "It’s not a problem if the mother-in-law is difficult, since you don’t live together anyway. As long as Henry treats you well, that’s what matters."

Ivy Miller shook her head: "It’s not as simple as you think, Dad. I know what you’re worried about, but this is my own matter, and I want to handle it myself."

Paisley Golden stepped forward: "Ivy, you must think it through, after all, Henry is a good kid.

I honestly don’t like your mother-in-law either. She gives you a hard time right in front of me.

But if you divorce Henry now, wouldn’t that be exactly what your mother-in-law wants?

Besides, has Henry agreed to this? I don’t think he would, he seems like a responsible kid."

Ivy lowered her eyes, not knowing what to say, just as there came a knock on the door.

"Dad, Mom, are you home? It’s Henry."

Henry Sullivan’s knocking was somewhat urgent.

Paisley Golden went to open the door, and Ivy turned around to her room and locked the door.

As Henry entered and saw Paisley holding Ivy, he felt relieved.

"Mom and Dad, Ivy is back, right?"

Paisley looked at him, speaking gently: "Henry, what has your mother done to Ivy again?

Why did Ivy come back looking so worn out and lifeless?"

Henry’s face was full of guilt: "Mom, I’m sorry, I let Ivy get hurt. May I see her?"

Russell took a glance at Ivy’s bedroom door: "I have a meeting at noon, so I need to head into the office, Henry, you stay here, I’ll be off."

"Dad, I’m sorry, I’ll explain this to you another day."

Russell patted him on the shoulder: "As a man, you need to shoulder more responsibility."

Henry nodded. After Russell left, Paisley called out: "What a nice day, Ivy, let’s go, grandma will take you out to enjoy the sun."

She finished speaking, gave Henry a knowing look, and then left with Ivy.

Ivy thought to herself in her room that her parents really had no temper; even though their daughter was wronged at her in-laws, they weren’t even a little angry.

What big hearts they have.

Henry walked to Ivy’s bedroom door and knocked: "Ivy, open the door, let’s talk."

"I don’t have anything to talk with you about, you better go back, or you’ll be late for work."

Ivy’s tone was very calm.

Henry didn’t move: "I don’t want to lose the most important woman in my life because of my mother again.

You know it pains my heart, so please don’t torture me like this, okay?

Come out, let’s have a good chat; there’s no problem in this world that cannot be solved."

"Mister, I like you, no, I love you, I can honestly tell you at any time that I love you.

I don’t really want to divorce you, but because of your mother, it’s indeed impossible to maintain this marriage any longer.

Before marrying you, I always thought I would be a good daughter-in-law.

In my view, as long as I behaved well enough and was sensible enough, my mother-in-law would like me.

But the truth isn’t like that, no matter how hard I try, your mom still looks down on me.

Since that’s the case, why should I continue to wrong myself like this?

I know this decision may be somewhat irrational, but I won’t regret it.

Really, Mister, please go back, don’t make it difficult for me, I don’t want to see you sad."

"If you love me, why won’t you see me?

Do you not want to be with me so much that you can’t even look at my face?

I really want to see you, to hold you.

You know, on my way here I kept worrying about what I would do if I couldn’t see you.

If you also left without saying goodbye, what would I do? I’d truly go insane.

Ivy, I know you’ve been wronged, please see me, let me hold you well, okay?"

Ivy pressed her back against the door, biting her lip and clenching her fists, reminding herself not to be soft-hearted.

"Mister, your embrace can’t warm my heart, which your mom has hurt deeply.

Today, when I heard her say I was shameless and indecent, I knew I couldn’t face her anymore.

Because I really wanted to hit her, but I also knew she is my mother-in-law, I can’t do that.

I left the Twilight Group feeling so angry I could spit blood.

In my life, I’ve never been bullied like this.

If it were someone else, I would really bully back, but she’s your mother.

Even if you don’t acknowledge her, she’s still the one who gave birth to you.

Don’t you really know that just because you say you don’t want her, it doesn’t mean you can sever your maternal bond?

And I... I’m just your wife. Wives can change, but mothers cannot."

"My wife will never change," Henry Sullivan clenched his fist and hit the door: "I love you too, can’t you see that?"

Ivy’s heart trembled, realizing how difficult it was for Mister to say the word "love," but she did it.

"Ivy, open the door, I beg you."

"Mister, don’t change yourself for me or lower your own dignity.

I’ve said it, I don’t want to live in the shadow of this mother-in-law anymore.

You can call me willful, or say I’m not sensible, and I’ll accept it.

But for me, Ivy Miller, I’m just this proud, if I say I don’t want it, I really don’t want it."

Henry’s heart ached continuously, he covered his heart: "You really don’t want me anymore?"

"Really."

"Is there really no room for negotiation at all?"

"Do you think mom could change her attitude towards me? If she can’t change, there will absolutely be no negotiation from me.

This is the bottom line for guarding my own dignity and pride.

This pride, I don’t want to change for anyone, not even you, Mister."

Henry took a step back: "Ivy, if you leave me too, I’ll go insane, I’ve got nothing left."

"You won’t. Also, I love you, truly love you, I just don’t want to continue being your mother’s daughter-in-law.

Even if we divorce, I’ll still love you, don’t think I’ve abandoned you, because I haven’t.

Love doesn’t disappear just because of a broken marriage relationship."

"Ultimately, it’s because of my mom, isn’t it?" Henry nodded: "Alright, alright, Ivy, give me some time, I’ll solve this, I’ll give you the result you want.

You must promise me, don’t leave Anchester before this is over, don’t go anywhere, don’t turn off your phone, so I can find you anytime."

"I’m scared, really scared. Promise me, and only then can I leave with peace of mind."

Ivy thought for a moment and nodded: "I promise you, but Mister, don’t push yourself too hard."

She finished speaking and heard a thud at the door.

She frowned, "Mister?"

No response.

"Mister? Are you still there?"

Still no sound, Ivy slowly unlocked the door and opened it, only to find... no one?

What kind of urgency is this for Mister?

But is this really okay? I hope I won’t drive Mister insane, I’m so worried.
