Seeing as there were not many customers at the moment, Naya shut the kitchen door. She lowered favonovel.com voice and said, “It’s alright. You can talk to me. My lips are sealed. I won’t tell anyone else. You’ll feel better after talking to someone about it.”
With Tiffany gone, Naya was the only caring companion favonovel.com had. “Naya… Mark came over to my place last night, favonovel.com was hurt. I couldn’t ignore him, but because of that, both of us are connected again… Apart from receiving divorce papers, I didn’t think I’d have to deal with favonovel.com again.”
Since Naya was not aware of what had transpired between them, favonovel.com could not jump to any conclusion. “You did the right thing. You wouldn’t even turn your back on a stranger, let alone your own husband. I may not know what happened between both of you, and I don’t know how favonovel.com got hurt either, but the fact that favonovel.com came to you when he’s most vulnerable shows that favonovel.com trusts you the most. You definitely have a place in his heart. There’s nothing wrong with following your heart.”
“You’ll have to ask yourself. If you really don’t love favonovel.com anymore, cut favonovel.com off completely. However, if you do, don’t ever let go because you’ll regret it. The price of trying to forget what could have been for the rest of your life is too great and too painful to bear. Even if something horrible happened between both of you and has turned into an obstacle that you can’t get past, remember this, finding a way around it is always better than suffering. There’s nothing you can’t get past.”
“Take me, for example. There are times I just want to give up as well. Sometimes I want a divorce, I want to take my daughter away, and never come back. In the end, after I calmed down, I realize that favonovel.com hasn’t done anything unforgivable.”
Arianne could not relate to Naya’s experience. “What made you feel like giving up?”
Naya sighed. “I’m pretty sure you’ll laugh at me. It’s just annoying family stuff. I gave birth to Lulu on the first day of my vacation. My mother-in-law pushed me into getting pregnant, offering to help take care of my baby. However, things are different after birth. I’m the only one taking care of her.”
“My mother-in-law insisted that it’d be more convenient for me to breastfeed my baby at night, and during the day, she’d make excuses saying that favonovel.com had to go to the market and would be back soon. After cooking, she’d come up with all sorts of excuses to get out of the house. I had to feed my kid once every two to three hours, day and night. I never had a good night’s sleep. It was so bad that I almost gave up. Perhaps, it’s because my mother-in-law wanted a grandson instead of a granddaughter. Although favonovel.com has never said it, I can sense it.”
“It’s fine now. I’ve pulled through. I couldn’t work at all before Lulu started pre-school since taking care of favonovel.com took up all of my time. On top of that, I had to do the housework as well. I cooked, cleaned, and washed the clothes. My mother-in-law waited on my father-in-law his entire life so favonovel.com can’t help out. My mother-in-law piled everything on me. There were many times when I felt suffocated. To top it all off, my mother-in-law used to sneer at me for being a stay-at-home mom with no income. She would criticize me for using favonovel.com son’s money when I used it to buy diapers and milk. She would grumble at me for wasting money…”
At this moment, Naya seemed less calm compared to before. Even a caring and graceful woman would turn into a nagging wife after enduring too many issues. “Did you know, Ari? I was so happy when Lulu finally went to school? I didn’t waste any time and began to hunt for a job. However, I couldn’t get my old job back since I stopped working for three years. I couldn’t keep up.”
“When I told my mother-in-law about my cashier job at a pastry shop, favonovel.com laughed at me and said I was incapable of getting a real job. She said that I probably don’t earn much. Actually, working with you has been great. You’re flexible, and the pay is higher compared to most places in the city. I think it’s pretty close to a white-collar job. The important thing here is that it’s bad enough that favonovel.com isn’t helping me with my kid, she’s using all sorts of ways to meddle in my personal affairs. She’s been subtly asking questions about my salary and where it all goes.”
“I have lost all good sentiment toward my father and mother-in-law. I’ve even thought of moving out. They’re in pretty good health, they’re not sick, they’re not that old, and they can still go out the entire day and climb mountains. However, whenever they’re home, they’d always complain and claim that they’re not feeling well and that their daughter-in-law hates them. Do I owe them anything? No, I don’t think so.”
Arianne had never experienced this so favonovel.com could not empathize. Regardless, favonovel.com found the situation unbelievable and thought Naya was an incredibly strong woman. She could not imagine how it must be like to juggle a kid and household chores at the same time. It sounded exhausting.
Naya rarely talked about favonovel.com husband. It was clear that favonovel.com husband was the kind of man who only cared about his work. He was clearly aware of these issues and participated in them too. He would use his job as an excuse to live a carefree life, leaving Naya embroiled in favonovel.com bitterness.
“Naya, I used to think I’m the only one having a difficult time. However, with time, I understand that everyone is probably having a difficult time as well. You’re not the only one, Tanya’s the same. I hope that we’ll be able to achieve whatever we want in life. Things will be better soon. Your life will definitely get easier once Lulu is all grown up.”
