Chapter 1371: Thrown Out

When he spoke so bluntly, Belinda couldn't help but feel embarrassed, as if she were being portrayed as unreasonable. "I just have a better candidate in mind. It's not as complicated as you think."

"Although Monica was raised by you alone," Algerone Swain looked up, his voice heavy and filled with suppressed sorrow, "can you say that you don't owe her anything?"

Belinda had been busy with work and seldom communicated with her daughter.

His words struck Belinda to the core, causing a sudden pang in her heart, and something flashed across her eyes. However, she crossed her arms and deliberately turned away, avoiding his gaze. Belinda was unwilling to admit it.

Admitting it meant acknowledging her debt.

She stood by the coffee table, and he sat on the sofa. A brief silence fell over the spacious living room.

"Even if we hadn't divorced, parents always owe their children," Algerone Swain said with deep emotion. "We're busy with work and neglect companionship. It's a common problem in modern families." Kids were Belinda's soft spot, and he kept playing on her emotions!

"What exactly are you trying to say?!" Belinda asked, displeased.

Algerone Swain's tone was full of patience. "As parents, don't we all want our children to be happy?"

"I never said I didn't want her to be happy!" They were all adults, so she understood what he was saying. But hearing it from him, it felt like a lecture.

"Are you done?" Belinda still had her arms crossed, looking down at him. "If you're done, then please leave! You're not welcome here!"

Algerone Swain was taken aback. How did her temper explode so suddenly?

Faced with his ex-wife's impatient stare, Belinda didn't wait for Algerone Swain to say anything else. She marched over, grabbed him, and said, "Get out! This isn't the place for you! Go wherever you're supposed to be!"

She had no patience left to listen to him. The longer she saw him, the more irritated she became!

"Get out! Did you hear me?" Belinda yelled at him, thinking about his current wife, and her anger grew.

Confronted with his suddenly enraged wife, Algerone Swain couldn't replace the words to speak. He had intended to explain further, but she threw him out like a madwoman!

"Belinda!"

"Get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"

Hearing the commotion, Monica anxiously opened her bedroom door just in time to see her father being pushed out.

The suite door slammed shut with a bang!

Belinda, furious, turned around and found herself face to face with her daughter at the doorway. Their gazes met briefly.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Monica stepped out, her voice and expression filled with dissatisfaction. "Why are you treating Dad like this? Can't you communicate properly?" "Monica! Did you go behind my back to see him?!" Belinda glared at her. "You traitor!"

With that, she rushed to the coffee table, grabbed the roses, and furiously threw them at the newly closed door!

The sudden noise scared Monica, who hunched her shoulders and closed her eyes.

Soon after, she heard the door slam again.

Monica's eyes squeezed shut, and when she opened them again, her mother was nowhere to be seen.

She couldn't possibly follow, so... she must have gone back to her room.

Monica let her arms hang by her sides, looking at the scattered flowers by the door, feeling a sense of exhaustion...

She couldn't handle her own affairs, and her parents' situation was a mess too.

Was it true that the only emotions between people were love and hate?

Couldn't they get along, even just as friends?

Monica was grateful for her father's appearance today, but her mother had a bad temper.

With her mother treating him like this, he probably wouldn't come again, would he?

As a daughter, she felt too embarrassed to ask him a second time. Monica felt disheartened, as if she had fallen into a whirlpool again, with no glimmer of hope in sight.
