Michael Marshall didn't say he was coming back for dinner; he just told Bella Thompson not to wait for him because he was very busy.
If she lost her husband too, she would be the one swept out of the Marshall Family, never to witness Olivia Jenkins being expelled. It also meant she would have lost everything.
Bella Thompson was determined not to let the tragedy happen to herself. No matter what, she had to hold on to everything, to shoulder the burden for her son.
Bella Thompson cried pitifully, "Husband, if you wish me dead, then I'll do as you wish. Next time I'm ill, I won't get treatment. Is it so hard just to eat a meal with you?"
Feeling annoyed, Michael Marshall closed his eyes.
After a few seconds of thought, Michael Marshall said softly, "I'll finish up as soon as possible."
Bella Thompson sobbed, "No matter how late I have to wait, I'll wait for you to come back. You are my sky, I'll forever be waiting for my final stretch of heavens."
