One day later, I followed him and then I found him… found him rolling around with a young woman.
My mother, saying this, suddenly covered her face and cried sadly.
I was so angry that I was shaking all over,
“I’m going to find him now!”
“Don’t, Ralda…”
My mother hurriedly grabbed me and said sadly, “Even if you go to find. him, it’s useless. It will only make the situation more embarrassing.”
“Should we just let him be with other women? Does he still want us, does he still want this family?” I said sorrowfully and angrily.
My mother, however, kept shaking her head, and tears of sadness kept falling down.
You think I never argued with him? I confronted him that very night.
But he said, he said he liked that woman, he said that woman was very rich, and also very business–minded.
He said that woman was the most outstanding woman he had ever met, and he only wanted to be with her.
He said he could make money from this investment, all relying on that
woman.
Ralda, ah…”
My mother held onto my arm, her tear–streaked face full of sadness and despair, “It’s no use, even if you go look for your father, it’s no use. He only wants that woman, he doesn’t want us anymore, he doesn’t want this family anymore. He even mentioned divorce to me that day.”
“What?” I looked at my mom in disbelief.
Just now I thought my dad was just playing outside, but I didn’t expect that even his soul was taken away by that woman.
My mom pulled me back onto the sofa.
She snatched the phone and cried out to me, “It doesn’t matter anymore. It’s up to your dad now.”
“How could this be possible?” I exclaimed in sorrow and indignation, “I must find him and ask him clearly. I can’t believe that so many years of feelings can’t compare to a woman he just met not long ago.”
“What’s the point of asking again? For someone who has changed their heart, why bother forcing them?”
“Mom…” I looked at her sadly, “You can’t be so indifferent. This life is still long. We have to find Dad back. Our family can still be together like before, living in harmony.”
“Is a lifetime still so long?”
My mother looked at me with a bitter smile and said, “Ralda, actually, life is really short, so don’t have any regrets in everything.”
My mother, as she spoke, looked even more sorrowful, with an indescribable sense of despair on her face.

I felt a tightness in my heart, a bad premonition lingering in my mind.
I grabbed her hand and anxiously asked, “Mom, don’t scare me. Is there something else you’re hiding from me besides Dad’s matter?”
My mother shook her head and forced a smile at me, “No, I have nothing
at all.”
“I have no other wishes now, I just hope you and Quentin are doing well.”
“Then my dad…”
“Let it be.” My mother sighed sadly, with a dead silence in her eyes. “Once someone’s heart has changed, you can’t bring them back. Besides, I don’t have the energy or time to try to turn him around.”
“What do you mean by ‘not having so much energy and time“?” I frowned. at my mom, feeling a stronger sense of unease in my heart.
Especially the deathly silence in her eyes made me anxious.
My mother smiled at me and said, “It’s okay, I just feel that it’s not worth wasting the remaining energy and time on your father’s affairs. Ralda, why don’t you stay at my place tonight? I want to talk to you.”
