Chapter 1510
Levi made some calls and invited his usual gang of friends out for a drink. He set off excitedly when all of a sudden, Mia called him. She told him to come home, and that she also planned to divorce Neil.
For the past few years, Mia had fought with Neil non- stop. However, she had always known her limits, and had never said hurtful words. The word 'divorce' was something that was never brought up. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
This time, she actually mentioned a divorce over the phone. Levi knew it was serious this time: Mia and Neil's argument must have become worse. He had to go home to have a look. Otherwise, if the two of them decided to divorce on a whim, the one suffering in the end would be Levi.
Levi immediately passed his house address to the driver and asked him to take him home. On the way home, he thought of many excuses to persuade Mia to not divorce Neil. After all, their son was all grown up. When he got home however, the situation was completely different than what he had imagined.
Usually, if Mia and Neil were fighting, he would be able to hear them from outside. Today, he had entered the house, but he still hadn't heard any voices. The house was very quiet, so quiet that it made one's hair stand on end.
"Mom..." Levi called out. No one answered. He looked around and asked, "Colonel Brown, are you here? If you're here, just answer me. Don't scare me."
There was still no reply.
Levi changed out of his shoes and headed straight to his parents' room. As soon as he opened the door, he felt like something was wrong. Mia and Neil were sitting there quietly. They weren't arguing or making any noise... It was because of this that Levi felt like something was definitely off.
When Mia was angry, she always shouted and made a scene, as if she wanted to let the whole world know of their fight. But today, she wasn't like that at all. Levi was in disbelief and asked, "Mom, dad, what is up with the both of you?"
Neil's cold gaze swept past Mia and fell onto Levi as he announced solemnly, "Levi, you're back just in time. Your mother and I are discussing our divorce. If you have any objections, you can bring it up now."
Neil was actually discussing a divorce! Levi was shocked and felt as though the memories of his parents quarreling for the past twenty something years were crumbling apart. He stammered, "D- dad... are you sure you know what you are talking about?"
Mia's bad habits were all caused by Neil from his constant pampering. Now that he had brought up a divorce, this really surprised Levi a lot. Once again, he suspected that there was something wrong with his hearing today.
"We're discussing our divorce!" Neil stressed each word firmly.
"Dad, how could you be so impulsive?" At the sight of Neil's unyielding attitude, Mia's face was expressionless. She probably hadn't expected Neil to say that either. For a moment, Levi didn't know what to say and said, "Mom, Dad, what the hell is going on between you two? If you wanted to trick me to come home, well, I'm here now. You can drop the act now. If you overdo it, it'll seem too fake."
Neil frowned and said, "Who's putting on an act with you? This is the real deal."
"Neil Brown, you want a divorce, don't you? If you want to divorce me, go ahead." Mia stood up and glared at him, "Just remember this. I, Mia Kyle, am the one who wants to divorce you, not the other way around!"
"Huh, Mia, you better remember this as well. I, Neil Brown, am the one who doesn't want you, not the other way around," Did Neil bust a nerve or something? He had always been so doting on his wife, but now, he was actually arguing with Mia head on. He clearly had no intention of going easy on her.
Seeing as the two of them were getting ready to argue about who was dumping who, Levi quickly interjected and stopped them, "Both of you, can we take a pause, sit down and talk about this? Let's solve the problem. Stop throwing your temper like children, okay?"
Levi felt that he was fine with them getting a divorce. If that was the case, they wouldn't live together anymore, and they wouldn't be able to show off their love in front of him and torture him anymore. That would be the best outcome. But still, they were his parents. If they really got a divorce, that would mean their family was broken. It wouldn't look good if word got out.
Neil snorted coldly, "Talk about it? Look at her, when has she ever calmed down and talked about anything that happened over the years? For the past few years, as long as things don't go her way, she can turn the place upside down. It's getting more and more outrageous. If she continues to act so wildly, she'll tear down our whole house one day!"
Levi didn't agree with his father at all and said, "Dad, you know you're the one who spoiled her, right?"
"Well, I don't want to spoil her anymore."
"Neil, what the f*ck did you say to me when we got married?" Mia was so angry that she wanted to rush over and fight with Neil. However, Levi was standing right in the middle of them. She couldn't fight with him, so she resorted to insulting him, "You don't want to spoil me anymore? Well, too bad. I'm never going to divorce you. I'll follow you around for the rest of your life. You'll never get rid of me!"
"Ah... Is that so? Are we going to call off the divorce just because you said so?" Neil laughed coldly, "Mia, this matter is not up to you to decide. Tomorrow, I'll go and make a report to my superior. We have to get a divorce. I can't live this way any longer."
Mia was so angry that she threw herself over and hugged Neil. She bit down hard on his arm, but one time wasn't enough, so she bit him a second time. She warned, "If you dare to divorce me, I'll bite you to death."
Seeing Mia's fierce expression, Neil's eyebrows furrowed and a gentle smile flashed through his eyes. Mia didn't see it because she was too angry, but Levi saw it clearly. It turned out that his father didn't intend to divorce his mother at all. It was just his tactic to get her to calm down.
Otherwise, if Mia were to stir up trouble, she would probably tear down the walls of the house.
Sometime after that, Levi asked, "Dad, how dare you take such a risk?"
Neil's answer was simple, "Your mother has been chasing after me since she was a kid! She can't live without me, just like I can't live without her."
