The Cold Husband Has Changed - Episode - 3 : The Problem

_______________

Diana Winchester

What about the future?

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

......

Mary touched the ring on her finger. She had thought about taking it off after Laurence's video call but couldn't. No what matter what, she was still hung up on the past.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

What future?

Diana Winchester

Are you sure that you have enough money to live by yourself?

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

I have some money in my savings account...

Diana Winchester

How long can it last?

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

Enough to live well for a month or two.

Diana Winchester

But what will you do after its finished?!

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*leans back*

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

I will do a job side by side to pay the monthly bills and also to...help my family.

Diana Winchester

What?!

Diana Winchester

But how will you get a job?! You're just a high school graduate!

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

Diana not every job requires a degree!

Diana Winchester

But it does require skills! And are you sure that you have them?!

Diana Winchester

Do you have any experience?

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*closes her eyes in frustration*

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

It looks like, instead of encouraging me to let go, you are forcing me to stay in that marriage.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*about to stand up*

Diana Winchester

No--I am sorry! *took hold of her arm*

Diana Winchester

What I am trying to say is that it won't be his loss after the divorce!

Diana Winchester

It will be you who will suffer the most!

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

You mean to say that I won't be able to move on?

Diana Winchester

*shakes her head as no*

Diana Winchester

I am telling you that you are not financially independent right now.

Diana Winchester

And, do you really think that your family is capable to take you in after the divorce?

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*gulps* I won't put pressure on them. I will live alone.

But in her heart, Marianne knew that her father would not let her live by herself, no matter how much money he will have to spend, he will force her to live with them.

Diana Winchester

We both know that's not possible! *sigh*

For not the first time, Marianne was doubting her decision.

Her family was already suffering for the past 3 years, and if she got divorced at this stage, it will get even more difficult to put food on the table for an additional family member.

If she didn't get a job, she will have no choice but to be dependent on her family's income. She will be nothing but a burden to them.

But how can she stay as Laurence's wife when he is planning on divorcing her as soon as possible?

Diana Winchester

I think you should talk to Laurence when he comes back.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*looks at her*

Diana Winchester

I understand that you don't want to talk to him about your family's financial issues but if he is really planning on divorcing you, then you must ask for some time.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

What if he didn't agree?

Diana Winchester

As far as I know him, he might.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

But he hates me---

Diana Winchester

Why do you always think so negative?!

But before Marianne could say anything else, her phone started ringing.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*surprised and takes out her phone from her bag*

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

Who is calling me at this time?

Marianne saw the caller's name and her face instantly turned pale in shock. She was hesitating to pick up the call.

Diana Winchester

What's wrong?

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

*gulps*

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

It's Mr. Brian...

Diana Winchester

You know him? *confused as she didn't know who he was*

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

Laurence's secretary.

Diana Winchester

Oh...

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

Diana what if--- *teary eyed*

Diana Winchester

Pick it up. Maybe he is not talking about finalizing the Divorce!

Diana Winchester

And why will he ask him secretary to call you anyway?

Marianne wasn't satisfied with the reassurance but still decided to accept the call.

Marianne Gerardo [FL]

Hello, Mr. Brian?
