The Legendary Man Chapter 16

“Anyway, you can’t call the police,” Emmeline pleaded as tears streamed down her cheeks.

 

As expected, Margaret’s heart softened at the sight of her daughter’s tears. “All right, stop crying. I won’t call the police,” she said, her voice a mix of exasperation and indulgence.

Yet, when she turned to face Jonathan, her expression changed to that of a vicious witch. “Jonathan, would’ve called the police if Emmeline’s reputation wasn’t at stake!” she spat, anger coursing through her veins.

“Whatever!” Jonathan’s patience was at its limit. “Will you or will you not call the police? If the answer is no, I’m leaving now!”

 

“Stop right there!” Margaret yelled harshly. “Tomorrow morning, head to the City Hall with your household registry and file a divorce!”

 

Her order left no room for discussion, and there was a finality to her tone that warned Jonathan not to disobey her.

That was the exact imperious tone of voice she used to order Jonathan around back then. As though the latter was free labor in their family, she made him do the tasks of a housekeeper and cleaner.

 

“I won’t file for a divorce!” Jonathan’s rejection was firm.
