Chapter 135 - Let's Get Divorced

"Why, why are you looking at me like you're seeing a ghost, can't I open my mouth when you're happy and share stories!" Michele stomped her foot.

"Of course not, ah, yes, it's so much fun there, isn't it dear?" Jonathan is a little nervous to answer Michele's words, he rubs his palms on his thighs, his face also looks a little confused, his eyebrows and smile are occasionally pulled up and down.

"Isn't that right Sarah, you like the beach?" Jonathan asked his daughter again.

Sarah shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head. 

"Yes, the beach is beautiful, the seawater is clear and I love good food, food cooked with love, it makes me miss it." Sarah's words sounded ambiguous and made Jonathan's face a little tense.

"Sarah is right, the food there is delicious and varied!" Jonathan said, trying to explain in more detail.

"I like simple cooking dad, can I eat those green vegetables again? Green vegetables cooked with Bangka crab, wow, very delicious! dad likes all of them too--" Sarah raised her thumb and wiggled her tongue. 

She remembered how Selena served dinner when they stopped by after picking her up from the cafe. They stayed at Selena's house that night, sleeping in the same bed, narrow but warm, hugging each other and telling stories until they all fell asleep in each other's arms. Jonathan is in the middle, between them that night.

"Sarah!" Jonathan's voice suddenly rose so that his daughter was a little surprised and stopped her speech.

"Yeah, Dad, what's wrong?" Sarah asked with innocent eyes.

"You are a genius reminder, let's arrange a time to go back on vacation there, dad will show you places that are pleasure and fun next time!" Jonathan tried to pull a smile when he saw his daughter's cheerful face.

"Thanks, Dad, I'll be waiting impatiently for my school holidays!" She said as she hugged Jonathan.

"Now, go first to your room, father has an important chat with your mother because this is a chat between two adults so minors should not hear, go and enter your room, you may play mobile games, watch television, read books. or study, ah, you can also call your handsome male friend." Jonathan teasingly asked his daughter while landing a kiss on Sarah's forehead.

"I don't have any male friends, dad, I don't like boys in my class, they all like to be naughty and talkative, I don't like hearing their chatter, but Andrew is different, he prefers reading comics and eating lunch, he also likes to share food and I have breakfast, he was very good to me, he's handsome too." Jonathan just nodded his head before the outpouring of his daughter's heart grew longer and limitless.

He looked at Sarah's face with gentle eyes then pinched her daughter's cheek, "Now go to your room. We'll talk again after this." Jonathan pointed to Sarah's room with the corner of his eyes.

"Okay Dad, I love you." She ran cheerfully. Her attitude was very different when in front of Jonathan and without Jonathan at home.

Michele got up from the couch, she folded her chest across her chest, her face looked sluggish, the smile long gone from her character face and-- she was very beautiful with a sharp-pointed nose, her jaw was thoughtful and firm too, high cheekbones with straight hair that pretty, her body was also tall and slender, she was very outstanding.

"What do you want to talk to me about, I think you have something very important that you kick your daughter out, you always spend 24 hours with Sarah when you get to this house, this is a very weird thing, you want to have a chat with me, I hope not bullshitthat's disgusting chats!" She raised both hands with a cynical gesture, she was not a friendly one to talk to especially after she lost her job.

"I hope you stop bringing up the cases I've been through, I've often told you that everyone has faults, you have to remember how you were while you were unemployed, who took care of your necessities of life, soap, food, and clothes, me! I paid for everything for you, so if you calculate it's a reasonable amount you have to spend as a husband, after all, you are too tricky to me after getting quite a lot of salary that I have to be sneaky where I work and now I am losing a job and my good name, you should think about all that, who is the cause of the problem here!"

Michele's words were long but Jonathan didn't care, this was not the first time he had heard such a sentence, just like Sarah's story, he also listened to Michele's ramblings that were repeated so that he memorized them.

"No Michele, don't get me wrong, I don't want to talk about it anyway it's all over and done, all that business is done done done done. I'm not in the mood to talk about that, I want to talk about something else." Jonathan's tone changed and Michelle frowned, this worried her even more.

"What is wrong?" asked Michele with a serious face, she cast a deep look at Jonathan's flat face.

"I want to talk about our relationship, between you and me, between husband and wife relationships, this is about our marriage, about your life, me and Sarah. I want to talk about all of this seriously now, please sit down, we have to talk quietly while sitting down, I don't want Sarah to hear all this." Jonathan asked, he tried to adjust his sitting position by cupping his palms in front of the tips of his knees.

"I've never been ordered but this time I will obey, I will listen to what you have to say, I hope it's not all nonsense, but before that, did you read my message? I want that dress for my best friend's birthday party tomorrow!" Michelle's voice was low but commanding.

"I read it, I've sent money to your account number."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier, the shop closes at 10 pm." She was annoyed and then pulled the cellphone from the table, she checked her account and smiled seeing the high amount of incoming funds.

"You sent so much, did you get a bonus?" She asked with a curious face, she looked happy.

Jonathan shook his head and smiled bitterly. "Michelle, I want a divorce between you..."
