Let me go, Mr. Hill By Shallow South Chapter 1951 âItâs normal for married couples to quarrel, â Rodney said awkwardly. âDidnât you and Uncle quarrel before too?â
âBut your uncle wasnât involved with his ex. When I was younger, I did suspect him. However, it was all just hearsay.â
Heidi sipped her coffee to soothe her stomach before saying in a serious tone, âRodney, Freya is serious about divorcing you. Sheâs not kidding nor forcing you to do something. Sheâs determined to do that because sheâs frustrated.â
Rodneyâs heart sank, and a rush of helplessness overcame him. âAunty Heidi, please help me to talk her out of it. Iâve never betrayed her. Why does she have to take it so far? Getting a divorce wonât be good for our child. Canât she think for the sake of our child?â
Heidi frowned. Although this nephew of hers sounded anxious, he was also seemingly blaming Freya for not being understanding.
Indeed, Rodney was self-willed and tended to drive himself into a blind alley. However, Heidi did not expect him to be so extreme.
âI wonât talk her out of it.â
Heidi shook her head. âIn fact, I heard the conversation between you and your grandpa from the side yesterday. Women are different from men. Although you think that nothing happened between you and Sarah, which means that youâve never betrayed Freya, Freya might not think so.
This is the cause of your conflict with Freya. Apart from this issue, thereâll be more things to argue over in the future. Itâs because Freya is aware of this point that she initiated the divorce.
âSince you guys arenât meant to be together, thereâs no point staying together reluctantly. The silent treatment and quarrels in the future will make the child suffer. You guys might as well sit down and talk it out to ensure a better future for the child.â
âTo ensure a better future for the child, we canâ t get a divorce.â
Rodney raised his voice and became agitated. â Aunty Heidi, youâre my aunt. Why are you persuading me on her behalf at a time like this?â
âLook. No matter how much Iâve explained to you, you donât seem to see eye to eye with me. Iâm talking sense to you, yet you think youâre right. Do you act the same when you communicate with Freya?â
Heidi put down the cup and said solemnly, âDo you know what an ex means? An ex is someone you can never contact after you get married. If you see her on the street, you must walk away as far as you can. Whatâs more, this ex of yours has embarrassed Freya many times.â
âI said Iâll send her away. â Rodney was annoyed at why nobody could understand him.
Heidi said impatiently, âWhatever. No matter whether you send her away or not, Freya is determined to divorce you.â
âAunty Heidi, does that mean youâre taking her side?â Rodney asked in disbelief.
â Sheâs my goddaughter , so why canât I side with her?â Heidi said, âHonestly, I think Freya and I have an affinity.â
âBut it was because of me that you had no choice but to acknowledge her as your goddaughter. You even disagreedââ
âI disagreed only because I didnât know her well.â Heidi interrupted him. âAfter getting along with her, I can tell that sheâs an honest and dutiful woman. Given that Iâm the prime ministerâs wife, a lot of people have been wanting to butter me up, but she has never done this. She has never done anything out there using my name either.â
Heidi rose to her feet. âHer parents raised her very well and provided her with a blissful family. Sheâs not greedy. Sheâs self-motivated and has her own boundaries. Hence, your uncle and I have decided to respect her instead of forcing her.â
Rodney panicked at the sight of Heidiâs resoluteness.
âEven if you and Uncle agree on our divorce, itâs no use. Freya wonât be able to do anything if I disagree. My parents and grandpa wonât agree as well.â
Rodney was not in the mood to carry on with the conversation. â Iâm going to discuss it with Freya.â
However, the two bodyguards in front stopped him.
