But he didn't know how much I would endure this. That's why, at that moment, he thought I was making a big deal about the cat.
"Theo, have I ever told you I'm allergic to a cat hair?"
At that, Theo's frown finally eased. He came over to me, hugged me gently and patted my head as usual.
"Sorry, sorry, I forgot. I didn't tell Elio. I'll get rid of this cat. Please don't be mad, okay?"
I didn't return his hug like I used to. The disappointment and sadness in my heart had taken over me.
Thick layers of ice don't form overnight.
Theo's excuse was that he was always busy and forgot.
He forgot to change the passwords at home, forgot to change all the passwords related to Alexa's birthday. But he never asked about my birthday.
In those details he forgot to change, I feel jealous of his love for Alexa in his youth.
Comparing myself, I felt unloved by him.
Just like his fifth birthday a few days ago, he kept mentioning it, but he completely forgot about it on the day. He even came over to Alexa's house in the middle of the night to fix her doorbell.
"Alexa, don't come to my house anymore. Take your cat away too."
Theo turned around and tell her to leave.
While Elio's cries, Alexa broke down in sobs.
"Theo, would you like to ask me why I left so cruelly that time? Have you ever considered that I have my own difficulty?"
Theo's expression remained grim, but seeing his fists clenched at his sides, I knew he had softened.
"You evil woman! You old witch! Get out of my house! I hate you! You're the one who separated my parents! Get out!"
The cat kept jumping around my feet, making my nose itch. The noise in my ears made my scalp tingle.
My pent-up patience vanished instantly. I kicked the cat and it screamed and ran away, biting Elio's arm.
"Ah!"
Seeing the bleeding wound on his arm, I instinctively reached out to check. But a powerful force from behind pushed me back.
I thought it was Alexa.
But when I looked up, it was Theo.
"Serena, look how you messed up!"
"I never thought you'd be such a selfish woman! If anything happens to Elio today, I'll never forgive you!"
Theo must have been holding back those words for a long time.
He also believed Elio's story that I abused him, so when Elio got hurt, the first thing he did was scold.
Five years of hard work had been in vain.
Seeing Theo getting ready to leave, I quickly stepped forward and handed him the divorce agreement and a pen.
