Chapter 406 On The Train (1/2)
Rachel had run out of options. She would use every good advice she could get right now. She leaned closer as she listened to her. Was there really a better solution?
”I would love to listen to your idea, ma'am,” Rachel said to the woman.
The woman giggled. She had gone through a lot of things in life and it showed through the lines on her face. She was no longer obsessed with relationships like Rachel was. Thus she could see things from a very different perspective.
”Stop running from him anymore. You're not the only one who is suffering from this. Your husband and your children are also suffering from your absence. They need you. Your family needs you. Why not think about another solution?”
Eager to know the answer, Rachel said anxiously,”Don't keep me guessing, ma'am. What's the other solution? Tell me, please! I'm the player in this game and I can't see the most of it as you do. I'm in such a mess. Could you please tell me what you have in mind? Is there a better way to fix this?”
Seeing Rachel anxious, the woman burst into laughter and slowly said,”You silly girl. Of course, there is a better way. There are many ways. But hiding is not one of them. Hiding will only worsen the situation. As I can see, it already has worsened. Things will be better if your husband could understand why you're hiding from him. But if he couldn't, the problems between you and him will only grow bigger and it will be hard to solve.
What I am trying to tell you is that you must let nature take its course. If he finds you again, don't run away and just face him. Try to calm yourself down and talk to him. Tell him your stance. Let him know what you are thinking. And if he really cares about you, he will wait for you until you are ready to go back home instead of forcing you to go with him.
Besides, what if he is smart enough to come up with a better solution? You won't be able to know that if you keep running away from him. Anyway, hiding is the worst way to handle your problems.”
Rachel nodded as she listened thoughtfully.
Admittedly, what the woman said made sense. It was just that… now, she had become so afraid to face him.
She no longer had any confidence at all to look him in the eye.
”Thank you, ma'am. That was very helpful. I will think about what you said, since I still have a few stops until I get to mine.” Rachel thanked the woman. She was a blessing from heaven.
The woman sitting in front of her, looked at Rachel, smiling. ”You know what? You young people are too impetuous. But that's exactly what young people are, ha ha. When you grow to our age, you won't do crazy things like this any more.
No matter what your final decision i
”Do you know what you did wrong? It's alright if you just wanted to own me. But you should not have helped Molly leave me!”
