The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1651

Bertha scoffed, "So who's really the one making a scene? Is it me and my daughter or is it your eldest, Sophia? It was Sophia who started crying first! You doted on her every tear, but when my little Lea cried, you found it embarrassing and reprimanded her loudly in public! If we're talking about making a scene, Sophia really took the cake! Do I even need to mention all the things she's done? For someone who's supposed to love both his daughters equally, you sure do have a blatant bias!”

Thaddeus was taken aback, “Bias? How am I biased? Don’t I love Lea too? You heard how loud she was crying, it was disturbing the entire restaurant!”

Bertha glared at him. “Why was she crying so loud? Because she felt wronged! You think Lea is too young to understand, but kids are smart. They see who gets more love! You've always favored Sophia. I didn’t even mind when you were just a little biased. Even when it came to inheriting your assets, I didn't care! When I married you, it wasn’t for your money, and my daughter doesn't need your wealth either! But we care about your attitude! You decided to let Sophia inherit everything, only asking my opinion as a formality, without giving Lea any say. Lea’s not stupid. She knows in your heart that Sophia is the important one. We don't care about the money, but we wished for a bit more affection from you. However, it seems like you’re so biased you can’t even realize it! Do you think if I don’t make a fuss, Lea will always be a child in your eyes, whose feelings you don’t need to consider?”

Left speechless by Bertha’s accusations, Thaddeus remained silent for a while before finally saying, “You said you didn’t care about the assets, and that’s why I decided to give everything to Sophia. Don’t worry, I’ll set aside enough for our retirement and Lea’s college tuition. Then we can live that quiet, countryside life you’ve always dreamed of; isn’t that what you wanted?”

Bertha laughed bitterly, “Thaddeus, how dare you say you are not biased?"

Thaddeus didn’t want to argue with Bertha in public. He waved his hand dismissively and said, “Enough! Let’s not discuss this here. We can talk at home!”

Bertha snorted, “I won’t be going home with you! This life isn’t what I want anymore! Thaddeus, I want a divorce!”
