My ex-husband is seeking a second chance

Chapter 105

Hearing her father talk about her marriage with Manfred, Tina should have been happy. However, thinking about Manfred’s recent actions and atitude towards ben, a troubled expresión appeared on her fier.

Ralph noticed his slaughter’s abnormality and could not help but frown. “What’s wrong, Tina! Did you figlu with Manfred?

Tima sat be the bed and lowered her head. She said aggrievedly, “Manfred was not loyal. He raised another mistress behind my back”

“That beat actually dares to two–time?”

Tina sauled bitterly. Manfred was likely cheating on her with multiple people. She knew of at least two or three, not to mention the ones she didn’t know about. There was no telling how many people he cheated with,

If there were only one or two of them, she could still muster the energy to confront and contend with them. However, with so many of them, how could she possibly win? She might even end up getting ganged up on and be completely overwhelmed by them. Why bother exerting that effort?

Ralph was so angry that he cursed for a while. However, Tina spoke up for Manfred. “He’s just a little too affectionate. He treats me quite well sometimes. Besides, he hasn’t mentioned breaking up with me so far. As for those other women he might be involved with, it’s just a ling for him at most. After all, the title of Mr. Day will be mine sooner or later!

Upon hearing this, Ralph’s furrowed brows relaxed. Although Ralph was angry, he did not think that it was a serious matter. He only scolded Manfred symbolically for a while and was about to offer some advice. He did not expect Tina to be more reasonable than he thought.

“You’re right. I knew my daughter wasn’t a short–sighted woman”

Ralph had a comforting expression on his face as he patted Tina’s hand and reassured her, saying “Tina, listen to your dad. Men, you see, are inherently different from women. There’s a saying that goes. Men fear choosing the wrong career, while women fear marrying the wrong man.” Wemen should be discerning. Having one man for a lifetime is enough for women, but it’s different for men. There’s wisdom behind why ancient people had multiple wives and concubines. Your mother never understood this, and she insisted on divorcing me over it Look how things turned out in the end —she’s grown old and lonely, withour money or a man. It’s quite pitiable. You must not learn from your mother and be so stubborn Live your life with insight and grace.”

Tina felt uncomfortable when she heard this. “Dad, it’s not like no one was my mother. From what I know, many people are wooing her now. One of them is even a university professor”

“Don’t joke around A university professor is interested in her?”

Ralph did not believe her words at all and scoffed. However, looking at Tina’s serious expression, he realized that she was not joking with him. There was an unnatural expression on his face as he said, “Even if there is, he probably only wants to fool around with her. He definitely won’t marry her. What’s good about her! Her old age or the fact that she can’t give birth anymore?”

Tina pouted. I’m not happy to hear you say that about iny mother.

“Alright, alright, alright. I won’t say anything anymore. I won’t say anything”

Ralph gently squeezed Tina’s hand and continued advising her, saying, “I meant that I hope you can seize this opportunity and not be stubborn. You’re my only biological daughter, and of course, I want the best for you. Marrying into the Day family and becoming the young madame is a tremendous blessing. Many others would wish for this opportunity and never get in

“Of course I know that. Even in my dreams, I want to marry Manfred, but..”

Tina was not confident enough. 1 don’t know how much he likes me now and whether he’s still willing to marry me. Recently, he’s been so obsessed with his mistress that he can’t think straight. He’s so crazy about her that he even changed the lack of the apartment. I can’t find him.”

Ralph’s face darkened when he heard this.

“Don’t worry, Tina. In a family like the Day family, marriage matters are not solely up to Manfred; it’s his father who has the final say, I’m planning to meet with him in the next few days. The Day family has a significant stake in several projects in Pinston, and I’ve been generous to them. Now it’s time for them to reciprocate.

Upon hearing this, Tina felt reassured. She couldn’t help but feel delighted. She gently nudged her father and said. Then what are you waiting for! Don’t delay any longer. Quickly arrange a meeting with Mr. Day and let’s settle the marriage as soon as possible?

Halph didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when his daughter urged him to hasten her marriage

It’s usually the parents who are urging their children to get married, but you’re urging me instead. Since you’re all grown up, I should let you get married to whoever you want to. Alright, alright, I’ll go right away. 111 definitely settle the marriage arrangements for you!”

Lindsay followed Pearl back in her car. Along the way, Lindsay’s thoughts were in turmoil, filled with worry and unease.

“Pearl, if you fall out with nay father because of me and he does anything bad to you, then L

“Although it’s important to be filial, the parent has to be kind in the first place for the children to be lial. If a father lacks responsibility, it’s not spring that the children may not show filial obedience. It’s a cycle of cause and effect. This is a natural outcome. You don’t need to feel sad, and most importantly, you shouldn’t blame yoursell
