Chapter 1237: Chapter 1209 Both Are Destitute Wanderers (Plus Update for 2700+ Monthly Tickets) Chapter 1237: Chapter 1209 Both Are Destitute Wanderers (Plus Update for 2700+ Monthly Tickets) Kiara felt more and more that Mario Yuno was to blame–whose fault was it for speaking so insensitively and not considering her feelings? On a minor note, it was just blind jealousy, but on a major one, it was a lack of trust in her, which all the more infuriated her.
He had been away for so many days, and upon returning, he picked a fight with her indiscriminately–even with the child still in tow!
As she fumed silently sitting there, Mario Yuno was also filled with displeasure.
He couldn't just leave far behind, fearing that Kiara, in a fit of pique, might run out in the middle of the night, so he sat on the flower beds of the complex, watching the direction of their home. He thought about buying a pack of cigarettes to smoke, but his pockets were emptier than his face.
As a vice president, he certainly couldn't run to the supermarket to ask if he could buy on credit, so he could only sit there fuming silently in the direction of his home.
At this time, every household was watching TV, some had gone to bed early with their lights off; it wasn't very cold, but the night breeze was cool. Mario Yuno thought about how he literally had a warm little home and a fragrant daughter-in-law, and if they weren't arguing, they could be getting close, talking about their time apart.
But the moment he remembered her infuriating attitude, Mario Yuno felt his bile rise again. She really lived up to being a psychologist, choosing words that were sharp enough to prick the heart!
Just then, he saw a figure walking out in the direction of his home. Mario Yuno focused and saw Zenith Kyan coming out, wearing pajamas and dragging his slippers.
Zenith Kyan also saw Mario Yuno, and though he wanted to turn his head and walk away, he thought it would seem too deliberate, so he had no choice but to pluck up his courage and approach him, quite aware of Mario's attire.
“Did your Madame kick you out?” asked Zenith Kyan.
Mario Yuno straightened his back, all dignified, “Do I look like the kind of spineless man to you? My daughter-in-law loves me to death, she can't even sleep without me–how could she have the heart to kick me out? I just felt the air at home was a bit stuffy. I've come out here merely to get some fresh air. What about you, why are you out here?”
Zenith Kyan coughed awkwardly, “I'm also here… to get some fresh air.”
Mario Yuno, with sharp eyes, noticed the scratch on his face, immediately feeling more confident.
“Did someone scratch you?”
People are afraid of comparisons.
Mario Yuno had been holding a grudge against Kiara, thinking how inappropriate her behavior was and how she was constantly finding ways to anger him, but seeing someone worse off than he was, he felt psychologically balanced–at least Kiara didn't scratch him.
“How could it be? My Tiara Stone, calling me 'dear brother' with every other word, is the very model of modern feminine virtue and gentleness–how could she scratch me? I'm not bragging, but my status at home is such that when I say 'one,' she doesn't dare say 'two.' If I want to eat an apple, she wouldn't dare peel an orange–I have that much authority!” Inside, all he could think about was how she'd driven him out; he wanted to stay, but he was also afraid of staying and making her even angrier.
“Why do I feel like your face looks like you've been scratched?” Mario Yuno knew who he was, he simply had to uncover him.
Zenith Kyan stubbornly argued back, “I had a pimple on my face that felt itchy, so I let her scratch it, but she went a bit too hard, and now she's crying with regret. As men of stature, can we be like women? Let alone a pregnant woman with a big belly.”
At that moment, the pregnant woman with a big belly was sitting on Kiara's sofa, sobbing with a tissue in hand.
“Mrs. Kiara, he's bullying me, I'm going to die of anger. You have to give me some advice; we can't let this stinking man get too complacent!”
“Oh, Shayna, don't tell Kiara about this. Look at the time! It's clearly your fault… and you still haven't brought Zenith Kyan back?” Tiara Stone's mother also followed her upstairs.
She had come over because her daughter was about to give birth, and had just witnessed her daughter arguing with her son-in-law. It infuriated the Old Lady too. These two unreasonable things, actually having a quarrel over this; Tiara Stone kept crying, leaving the Old Lady no choice but to ask Kiara, who was upstairs, for help, not knowing Kiara was also angry.
“Auntie, I'll talk to Tony. You go down first, or give Zenith Kyan a call.”
“Oh! Then I'm troubling you with this, Kiara!” Mrs. Stone was worried about her son-in-law too. Clearly, it was her daughter's fault, but since her daughter was about to give birth, she dared not speak too harshly. She could only leave her with Kiara and got up to call Zenith Kyan.
“Mom! Don't make that call! Giving him even more guts, daring to walk away from me with a turned back. I'll never reconcile with him!” Tiara Stone was still yelling at her mother's retreating figure.
“What's it all about?” Kiara was already upset, and Tiara Stone's arrival meant she had to muster her energy to settle her friend's matter first.
When it came to her grievances, Tiara Stone's eyes turned red.
“Mrs. Kiara, he's gone too far! I can only play poker for half an hour a week. He wouldn't let me touch the computer, so I obeyed and didn't, but today when I finally could play, I got such a good hand, do you know how despicable he is? I just blew them away with four twos, and I only had a straight left from nine to ace to finish, but do you know what that moron did? He…”
When Tiara Stone got to the sad part, tears fell, and she said in heartrending pain, “He actually played a ten to ace, leaving behind a nine! A player across with four threes bombed me, and I got stuck with a single nine at home, losing thousands of Joy Beans in an instant…”
Kiara's mouth twitched and she asked, rubbing her temples.
“So, the two of you started arguing over such a moronic reason?!”
“It's not just that! I was just really angry at first, and I was reasoning with him, but this stubborn guy just wouldn't admit he was wrong. He insisted he was trying to enhance my joy of winning, and said that if he dumped his hand then, we wouldn't have felt the misery of the other two players. And he was so smug about it, claiming he had calculated that there were no more bombs outside, but what happened! I didn't get to enjoy the thrill of winning money; I only heard those two opponents repeatedly praising, 'You play your cards so well…'”
Tiara Stone stamped her foot in anger, “I could hear the wild laughter in their hearts through the screen!”
Kiara laughed too. It did sound pretty silly.
Some things, outsiders find funny, but the people involved are fuming mad, and that's how Tiara Stone felt right now.
“I remembered what you told me about how couples should communicate and not keep things bottled up, so I confronted him about it. But that man just wouldn't admit to being wrong, no matter what. I started thinking about the times he was stubborn before and picked on me. I complained about feeling sick from eating sea cucumber, he still made me eat; I hated walking, yet he dragged me along; I got upset watching TV series, and he kept saying it's all fake…”
Arguments between spouses often start over something trivial. As the conversation goes on, it's easy to drift and bring up different topics, especially for wives who tend to voice all the grievances they've accumulated. Most men think that once something is past, it's over and don't realize that women are keeping a tally, remembering every detail, ready to bring them up during an argument.
Kiara listened to Tiara Stone's rant with no longer able to laugh.
Hadn't she just gone through the same emotional journey as Tiara Stone?
She had argued with Mario Yuno over a minor issue, had him chase her away, and upon reflecting on the past at home, became increasingly angry. With that in mind, how could she have the right to laugh at how childish Kiara and her husband were?
“Zenith Kyan doesn't seem like the type to argue with you, right? What caused you two to fight to the point you chased him out?”
