Chapter 1367 Marriage Is Like Wearing Shoes
Abel drove away just like that.
Emmeline arrived at school and spent the afternoon in a daze.
She didn’t even know how she managed to teach her lesson. But teaching seemed to be her natural strength. Despite occasional distractions, her lesson was flawless.
For the first time, she looked forward to 5:30 p.m.
She suddenly thought that Abel’s daily routine phone call was as important as life itself.
She even feared that she might never receive a call from Abel at 5:30 p.m. again.
She was waiting.
Just then, it started raining outside.
The rainy season had come, and Emmeline despised this kind of weather.
5:30 p.m.
5:32 p.m.
5:34 p.m.
Emmeline’s heart was suffocating, bit by bit.
Just then, her phone rang. It was Abel!
Instantly, Emmeline burst into tears. “Abel!”
“What’s wrong, Emma?”
“Abel, you can’t stop calling me, you can’t!”
“I never said I wouldn’t call. I’ve been driving, just passed a red light intersection.”
“Will I still be able to see you?”
“Silly girl, Uncle Maxwell said we should reduce our contact, not that we can’t see each other.”
“But I’m really scared. I don’t want it to be like this. I’ve gotten used to having you.”
“I understand, Emma, be good, it’s okay.”
“When will you be back?”
“Hadn’t I just left at noon? It’s only been half a day.”
“But it feels like it’s been days.”
Abel smiled, a mix of heartache and helplessness.
“Emma, how can I focus on my work with you like this?

“I just want to be with you! I don’t care about anything else.”
Ysabel sighed. “Emmeline, as someone who’s been through it, let me tell you, if you can endure it, then endure it. True love is hard to come by.”
At that, an image of Ysabel and Joseph came to Emmeline’s mind. Are they true love?
“To be honest, I don’t believe in marriage anymore. Some people’s true colors can be really scary.”
“Most marriages are fine, aren’t they?” Emmeline was puzzled.
“Who hasn’t had their share of ups and downs? Marriage is like wearing shoes. Whether they pinch or fit, your own feet know. Many people just endure it.”
Emmeline sighed at this point.
It was just like her parents.

In the eyes of them kids, over the years, they rarely quarreled, and the family seemed harmonious and stable. However, her mother suffered from depression, which was evidence of serious neglect by her father.
They were simply busy with their respective work, without communication, empathy, or even time to
argue.
Emmeline wondered if her mother’s heart was also barren.
Suddenly, Ysabel walked over to Emmeline and rolled up her sleeve.
There, Emmeline saw two glaring bloodstains on the inside of her arm.
