Chapter 276 Choices People Make (1/2)

Jessy was having a conversation with her mother in the canteen. She mentioned to her mother about what happened to Lilian recently the woman she recently brought home.

”Why do I have a feeling that Lilian and Alex would see each other secretly—against the wife's knowledge? What do you think, Mom?” Jessy asked her mother's opinion.

Sarah sighed.

”Um...I'm feeling sad about Lilian losing her man due to her disappearance. If I have to advise here, I would only say one thing to her, and it would be like this—Let go of Alex because he is already a married man! Just for the sake of the baby. If she and Alex were meant to be together in this lifetime, let destiny find the way for them. Because if she is the one who will find a way, the result is that she will only destroy the marriage and she will become the mistress in a love story that she was supposed to be the leading lady. All she needs to do is start freeing herself away from Alex's memory. Who knows she can meet a new guy which is ten times better than Alex. There are some things in this world that even though we feel that they are so good and we badly want things to stay the same way forever but in the end, they won't last long. Some people were not meant to be no matter how much they love each other, destiny will always find a way to break two people apart. That is one of the saddest mystery in this world,” she explained.

”But Mom, me and Adam were separated by life and death at one point in time but in the end, we found each other again. I know that every relationship has to undergo several trials but what meant to be should be reunited in the end,” Jessy argued.

”Yeah...but you have to understand my child that...not because you end up with Adam again that means all lovers will also end up like you and Adam. Every relationship has a different path in life, some relationship will follow the path that is full of pain and sadness, some full of betrayal and some had a happy ending. Some path that the lovers have to go through has to depend on both parties, as you can see, some people change, a few will only stay sweet during courtship but after getting married... all types of problems and temptation will start shaking the foundation of the relationship...then the marriage collapsed. That's when the person realized that the person they come to love in the early days of the courtship is no longer the same person they had married because some sparks will start to fizzle. I have to say this... only a few couples will continue loving each other to the very end. The rest...well... they will be changing partners quickly just like changing their dress always seeking the elusive one. And sometimes, you will only realize that the one you really want is the one you already let go.”

Sarah rubbed her daughter's back. ”If Lilian will continue to tempt Alex because she can't let go of him, then there will be two people who will suffer in the end and that will be the wife and the baby.”

Jessy bit her lip. ”And because Adam and I continue our relationship, Zain has to suffer?”

”Yeah...um...almost similar situation, right?” Sarah said.

Jessy scratched her head. ”What are you trying to imply, Mom?”

”Because you and Adam wanted to be happy and continue the relationship, one person has to suffer and that is Zain,” Sarah replied.

”B-but I don't love Zain! Why I should stay in a marriage that I'm not happy with? Therefore I will always choose the man I love and that is Adam,” Jessy reasoned. ”Besides, if I stay married to Zain I will only feel miserable and Adam will also feel the same, two people who will suffer badly, at least in our love triangle case, the result is that there are two people happy and only one person suffering and that is Zain. That would be two versus one,” Jessy smiled a bit.

Sarah raised her brows for a moment then smiled fondly at her daughter. ”I guess when it comes to the affairs of the heart, I trust your judgment because you should follow your happiness at all cost, and choosing what is best for you and what makes you happy is always what every mature adult has to decide for themselves.”
