Chapter 506: I Don't Want to Be a Wife Anymore
"I can't help but feel that what you're saying is not quite right," Ivy said, leaning her body to the side and supporting her head with her hand.
In a calm tone, she continued, "Based on my personal experience, a husband is someone who specializes in disappointing his wife...a creature, if you will. For example, when a wife encounters difficulties, he will be the first one to avoid them. When a wife needs help, he will be the first one to slip away. When a wife feels lonely, he is never by her side. And when a wife requires peace and quiet, he instead becomes a nuisance. In conclusion, a husband is an uncaring, irresponsible, unfeeling, hypocritical...beast!"
A creature...
A beast...
This woman is truly impressive; she can insult without using a single curse word!
Alexander furrowed his brows, momentarily speechless. Ivy's perception of a husband like this means he has done a terrible job!
It's his fault!
He shouldn't have left Ivy alone and returned to the country while she was unconscious!
This time, his mistake is indeed significant!
Just as he was about to apologize to Ivy, she asked him seriously, "Are you really my husband?"
Alexander: "..."
If he admits to being her husband now, it would be equivalent to admitting that he is an uncaring, irresponsible, unfeeling, hypocritical beast.
What is the difference between a beast and a brute?
"Ivy, I... I was wrong. I am not a qualified husband. I apologize for my past mistakes and hope you can forgive me and give me a chance to change!" Alexander sincerely apologized, but Ivy pretended not to hear.
Can one settle such deep hurt with just an apology?
"By the way, do you know what a beast is?" Ivy cleared her throat. "A beast refers to a particularly ferocious, untamed, and powerful animal."
A beast!
An animal!
Alexander's hands involuntarily clenched into fists; he felt deeply humiliated.
However, when he realized that he was indeed at fault, he relaxed his clenched fists.
"Ivy, I'm truly sorry. I shouldn't have listened to malicious gossip and left you alone in M country when you fainted. My behavior was...inhumane. Whether you call me a beast or a brute, I... I accept it!"
"Who called you a brute? Did I insult you?" Ivy asked innocently, her expression full of innocence. "Alexander, do you know what a brute is?"
Alexander: "..."
Unexplainable.
A sense of foreboding arose in his heart.
Ivy explained with extreme seriousness, "A brute is a domesticated, particularly well-behaved, adorable, and harmless...animal!"
Still an animal?
Are you sure you're not insulting him?
Alexander's face turned pale, not knowing what to say.
He already felt terrible, and at this moment, Ivy added, "You've never been tamed by anyone, have you?"
"However, mischievous yet adorable, how could one possibly be considered an animal?"
Implied meaning...
Is he worse than even an animal?
Ivy!
Is this woman going too far!
Alexander clenched his fist again, each knuckle making a "cracking" sound.
He felt the urge to punch someone!
"You... You wouldn't bully a woman, would you?"
Ivy shrank back in fear, "What? Because you're a man and you have Magic Pearl inside you, you think you can bully a weak woman?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Alexander suddenly realized that he was losing control. He came here today to apologize and bring his wife back home, so why was he almost resorting to violence?
"Ivy, I won't hurt you, you are my wife..."
"No, no, no, I don't want to be a wife anymore, it's too difficult." Ivy curled up like a wounded rabbit, clutching the blanket and hiding in the corner of the room.
What does she mean by that? Is she thinking of divorcing him?
Alexander became nervous!
"Ivy, stop acting up, our child is already four years old..."
