Housewife Gone Wild by Thanddeus Embereley novel Chapter 119

Yvonne heard that Jared had no sympathy for her. She pouted, hung up right away, and went back to pulling weeds. Then, just to get my attention, she yanked up a little flower right in front of me.

I quickly reached for a small black twig nearby. Yvonne hesitated for a moment, then dug a tiny hole and carefully replanted the flower, her big eyes looking at me all aggrieved.

After about ten minutes, Yvonne finally cleared out the little flower bed. She ran over excitedly and said, “Mom, look how awesome I am. I really did it.”

“Wash your hands, go upstairs, shower, and eat.” I didn’t go on and on encouraging her like I used to, or kiss her little face and tell her how great she was. Now, I just gave her orders.

“Okay.” Yvonne went upstairs. She showered by herself now, and I also made her wash her underwear. She actually did it,

too.

I didn’t eat much for dinner. After a short break, I started doing yoga. Yvonne played with my yoga ball nearby, sometimes trying to copy my moves.

“Wow, Mom, can you really get your leg up that high?” Yvonne asked, her face full of amazement.

I had been dancing for over ten years, so my basic moves were always spot on. It was the first time Yvonne had seen me move with such strength, and she was totally mesmerized, just staring at me.

I found myself growing quieter around her, not bothering to explain so much anymore.

Around eleven, I put on my headphones and finished shadowing my Englysian textbook, then got ready for bed.

Then I heard a car engine cut off downstairs. My body tensed up. I quickly shut the door, turned off the lights, and got into bed.

Soon after, I heard footsteps, but they went to the guest room next door.

‘Jared must’ve had too much to drink tonight, and Tracy probably gave him all the emotional support he needed. There’s no way he’d come looking for me,‘ I thought.

I didn’t expect anything anymore, so I slept soundly through the night.

When my heart was steady, everything just seemed to go smoother. I just hoped I could face whatever came my way with confidence from now on.

I let out a soft sigh. Once Yvonne’s summer break started, maybe I would go stay at my parents‘ place for a few days–no Yvonne, no Jared, just me and a heart full of nostalgia.
