âYouâ¦â Rodneyâs handsome face paled.
âWhatâs moreâ¦â Heidi interjected, âFreya is your ex-wife. But legally speaking, you have nothing to do with Freya from the moment you divorced her, except that both of you have a daughter. If I recall, Freya has never caused trouble for you when you got married. I know youâre upset, but you canât allow your rage and jealousy to blind you.
âWhy are you standing here feeling mad? Itâs because you think Freya cheated on you. But why donât you face your conscience and ask yourself? When you divorced Freya, she had just given birth to her child. That was when her body was most feeble, yet she had to take care of her child. Would she have had the energy to have an affair? Of course, if laying the blame on someone else makes you feel better, I have no comment. I just feel sorry for your parents.
âTo be honest, you donât need to be so mad. From the moment you slept with Sarah and divorced Freya, Freya would eventually get in a relationship with another man even if that man wasnât Ryan. Itâs normal for couples to kiss and hug on the street. Thereâs nothing immoral about it.â
Heidiâs every word was spot on. Every sentence of hers was like a slap on his face.
Rodneyâs expression turned pale and then red.
No doubt, he was aware of all those.
However, he refused to admit nor accept them.
âEnough. Youâve said so much, but have you ever considered my situation?â Rodney bellowed i n agony, âMy ex-wife whom I loved deeply is in a relationship with my cousin. Who could take that?â
âThat womanâs husband had an affair shortly after she gave birth to her child. Which woman could take that?â
Heidi questioned him sternly. âWell, what you mean by loving your wife deeply includes spending the night with another woman and insulting your wife in public upon knowing that sheâs in a relationship, but thatâs not deep love. You just want to ruin her life because you canât have her.â
âNo,â Rodney clenched his fists and screamed with reddened eyes.
Heidi ignored him. She turned around and said to Jason and Wendy, âBrother-in-law, Sister-i n-law, Iâm saying these things not purely because I side with my son. From a womanâs perspective, I felt uncomfortable hearing that. If every man in Australia has the same mindset as his, I think fewer women will want to get married. I donât understand how you discipline your son. He has become so unreasonable and has no respect to the elders.â
Jason and Wendy were both deeply ashamed.
In fact, many wealthy families have said that behind their backs. Nevertheless, it was their first time receiving such criticism directly.
Although they felt upset, they did not have reasonable grounds to argue with Heidi.
Was Rodney like what Heidi said?
Yes. Even Jason and Wendy felt terrible.
They wanted to send Rodney abroad, yet he refused to leave.
