As they left, I quickly locked the door behind them. I changed the sheets and blankets and slept soundly through the night.
The next morning, as soon as I woke up, Jason stormed in, his face dark with anger.
“Locking your husband out of the room, is this how you act as a wife?” He said.
I met his raging eyes. “That’s an odd thing to say. I’ve been giving you two chances. If you’re not thankful, that’s fine, but don’t try to turn things around on me.”
“I’ve said it before, Grace and I are just friends. You’re my wife!”
I sneered. “Oh, so now I’m your wife? I thought once Grace came back, she’d be your wife instead!”
Jason’s face turned red, veins bulging on his forehead when Grace appeared, playing the good guy.
“Emma, it’s my fault, I didn’t mean for you to misunderstand. Today is a happy day. We are moving; let’s not fight anymore.”
“Grace is so thoughtful,” my mother-in-law came in and praised her.
The next was Kelly to add. “Emma, if you can’t be as considerate as Grace, at least stop throwing tantrums. If you continue with this attitude, Jason might really leave you.”
Seeing everyone on Grace’s side, I could see that the smug look in Grace’s eyes was almost spilling over.
Jason grabbed the car keys, his face still cold.”Since it’s moving day, I won’t argue with you.We’ll go to the new house first. You stay here and finish packing. We’ll meet the movers there.”
I looked at the mess on the dining table and the chaotic house with a cold smile.
“Alright, you guys go ahead. I’ll make sure everything is cleaned.”
After they left, the moving company arrived quickly.
“Miss Emma, do you need to move all of this?” One of the man asked.
“No.”I smiled and pointed at my and Ava’s luggage.
“Just these, the rest you can treat as trash and dispose of.”
