    　　Giselle didn't want to say this. But at this time, she just wanted to say that she wanted to provoke his relationship with Pia.

    　　In fact, it can't be regarded as provocative because she is telling the truth.

    　　There is a coffee shop next to the kindergarten. She likes the coffee there, so she usually arrives early to pick up her daughter almost every afternoon, take a leisurely cup of coffee, and wait for her daughter to finish school.

    　　She was certain that James would not know her hobby, because he had never taken her to heart, so how could he know her subtle preferences?

    　　So, she thought that Pia had arranged everything that afternoon.

    　　And also, through this incident and the last text message incident, she can conclude that she is a scheming person, although she has never had any contact with her before.

    　　The only time she saw Pia's face was in

    　　Because she didn't think that her daughter had forgotten the topic of divorce, the little girl must have seen that she was not uneasy all night, so she didn't mention it sensibly.

    　　Facing such a crystal-clear-minded daughter, how could Giselle not feel uncomfortable?

    　　Every child is the heart and soul of a mother, and every mother wants to give her child the most complete and warm family. She wants to give her child

    　　endless happiness, but she brought her daughter into the atmosphere of a single-parent family.

    　　She told Xia about her feelings of guilt towards her daughter. Xia is also a divorced and has children. She persuaded her empathetically, saying that it was not her fault that caused their marriage to break up, but James. With a little care, they won't get to this point. She is also at fault and she doesn't need to blame him like this.

    　　Xia also

    　　They are going to get divorced. How could she go back again?

    　　This tortures her not to divorce. Does he feel very happy and comfortable?

    　　For a while, she couldn't control her emotions and she didn't care that her daughter was still next to her. She didn't look on the side with her eyes open and return to him indifferently.

    　　"I won't go back in the future."

    　　One can imagine how annoyed James was when he heard her words. However, he hadn't waited for it to happen. Someone had already spoken before him. It was the little girl he was holding in his arms, tilting her little head and asked quizzically,

    　　"Are you going to get a divorce?"

    　　As soon as their daughter said this, both James and Giselle were shocked, and then there was a sting that followed Giselle.

    　　Her chest became heavy. She didn't know how James felt. She only knew that it was ironic and sad to hear her say the word divorce from her own mouth.

    　　Presumably he didn't have any feelings. He didn't have too much feelings for his daughter. What's more, it was a relief for him to end his marriage like this.

    　　Giselle didn't say a word while standing there because she didn't know how to answer this question for her daughter.

    　　It was James who spoke to his daughter. He was holding his daughter with one hand, and he lowered his eyes, looked at his daughter and asked calmly,

    　　"Why do you ask?"

    　　The little girl answered him without thinking, with her big round and black eyes open.

    　　"Didn't mom say that she won't go home in the future? In our class, my classmate Jia said that his parents don't live together and said they are divorced."

    　　Giselle listened to her daughter's remarks and didn't know whether to be sad or what to do.

    　　In today’s society, the divorce rate is so high that even small children are accustomed to this kind of thing. Perhaps for them, they don’t understand the concept of parental divorce. It's too deep for them to understand it.

    　　Wherever he looked, James wrinkled his deep brows. Obviously, he was also taken aback by his daughter's precocious rhetoric.

    　　Two adults, in front of a three-year-old child, could not say a word.

    　　And before they gave her daughter a suitable answer, the little girl spoke again.

    　　"I know you will definitely ask who I will choose. I don't want to choose anyone. I want to live by myself."

    　　After that, she added,

    　　"Jia said at the time that his parents let him choose whom to follow, and he said they were annoying for them to ask."

    　　Giselle couldn't hold back for a while and tears came out with a click.

    　　Before, she said she won't shed tears about this matter again. But facing her daughter's words like this, her heart is like being eaten by thousands of ants and her bones are in pain.

    　　Seeing her suddenly burst into tears, James's brows wrinkled deeper.

    　　He turned around and bent over and put his daughter in the car,. He whispered,

    　　"I will just talk to your mother."

    　　Then he closed the door.

    　　The two stood in front of the car. Giselle stood there with her eyes down. She hadn't come out of the sadness caused by her daughter's words. She once thought that her daughter would choose her without hesitation, but the little girl said she won't choose anyone and live her own life.

    　　This hurts her a lot. As a mother who has been with her daughter for more than three years, her heart is full of frustration and disappointment of being abandoned.

    　　James just looked at her while touching his trouser pocket, frowning and pursing his thin lips.

    　　James could see that she was in pain, so he never understood why she insisted on getting a divorce if it was so painful.

    　　In the past five years of getting along, she was sensible, considerate, gentle and well-behaved to make him think that she's ill -tempered. It was also this time that she insisted on getting a divorce which made him realize how terrible her temper is.

    　　No, in fact, five years ago, when she insisted on liking him and insisted on marrying him, he should have realized this.

    　　It's just that he didn't take it to his heart at that time, so naturally he wouldn't pay attention to her temperament.

    　　Of course, he would not understand. For Giselle now, whether he chooses to continue this marriage or choose to end it, it is a painful choice.

    　　Under the intertwining of the two kinds of pain, she naturally chose the least painful way out of human instinct to protect herself.

    　　That is divorce.

    　　Divorce, means to cut everything. No need to continue this loveless marriage. No need to face his old relationship with Pia. It is a relief for her.

    　　Maybe her daughter will bring her some sadness, but it is not fatal.

    　　The two stood facing each other quietly. When James wanted to speak, the phone inside his jacket rang.

    　　And it was his phone's ringtone that pulled Giselle back to her senses, who was immersed in sadness. She glanced at him, and then raised her hand to wipe the tears from her face.

    　　Giselle knew who it was from when he heard James' call.

    　　With his gentle tone, his nervous and worried expression, Pia is the only one who can enjoy such treatment.

    　　Pia didn’t know what is happening. He glanced at her and then asked,

    　　"Now?"

    　　Pia continued talking over there, Giselle could vaguely hear her cry and then his face changed.

    　　"I'll go over at once."

    　　Giselle didn't know what was in her mind. After he hung up the phone, she asked him with a mocking smile.

    　　"Why do you think you happened to be at the coffee shop where I usually wait for my daughter after school that afternoon? Then I heard your conversation so accidentally?"
