When We Were In Love novel Chapter 11

"Divorce? Is this your idea, or his?" Mrs. Joseph asked when she realized how serious the situation was.

 

 

"It's my idea." Vivian wiped her tears, "He always wanted to marry Jessica, not me. I'm giving them what they've wanted."

 

 

"How could it be true? I'm not mistaken. It was you who Christian agreed to marry. What are you thinking? Are you jealous of your sister?"

 

 

Vivian hastily denied, "Mom, do you know Jessica is pregnant with Christian's child?"

 

 

Mrs. Joseph didn't see it coming. She murmured, "I had no idea about that."

 

 

"Why else would she come back from abroad? And she is living here, instead of our home. Have you ever thought about it?"

 

 

Vivian was too excited to care about how she looked like now.

 

 

"That's why, Mom, I'm getting a divorce. I've had enough, really!"

 

 

She had thought that her mother would have agreed with her. But Mrs. Joseph just said, "It's no big deal. Divorce isn't an option."

 

 

No big deal? Her head was spilling. Was she making a fuss? She had been betrayed by her husband and her sister!

 

 

"Nowadays most men are cheating on their wives. There are so many of them. Besides, a man of Christian's status is bound to attract many women." She tried to convince her daughter.

 

 

"Mom, how could you say that? It's betrayal!"

 

 

Vivian couldn't believe her ears. She felt even worse. She had never expected that her mother, a cultured woman, would have tried to talk her out of divorcing a cheating husband. How ridiculous!

 

 

"Take Mom's advice. The life of a divorced woman wouldn't be easy, especially women of our family background. Do you want to remain single for the rest of your life? It would be really difficult. At least you don't have to worry about money now."

 

 

There was a hint of doubt in her voice. She stared at Vivian and asked, "Have you already known your sister's real identity? And that's why you picked on her."
