Chapter 0024
Yvonne didn’t understand his struggles at all. She called him a useless person and claimed that he couldn’t even make as much money as she spent in one night. They argued constantly over trivial matters in their lives. The beautiful moments they had shared during their youth were gradually eroded by the hardships of life.
Yvonne was more interested in herself, always dressing up and going out, and coming home reeking of alcohol. Nash, with a limp, struggled to take care of their baby.
