Skyler Jones sat down next to Marie with a newspaper in his hand. Like Marie, he had taken a day off today and didn't go to the company.
"Daddy, can I ask Mommy why she didn't come back when I see her later?" Marie asked in a pitiful tone.
Looking at the newspaper, Skyler answered, "Didn't you already know? Your mommy is angry with me."
"But she's been angry for several months now, and Mommy isn't petty."
"Well, you'll have to ask her when she gets back."
"Daddy, is it because you and Mommy have divorced that she's left you?"
Skyler put down the newspaper, looking seriously at his daughter, "Daddy promises you, Daddy and Mommy haven't divorced!"
Marie let out a long breath, "Then I'm relieved. I was so afraid you two would hide your divorce from me…"
Skyler chuckled and suddenly felt interested, with a smile, he asked his daughter, "Marie, if Daddy doesn't want a divorce, but Mommy does, what should Daddy do?"
"Well, do you love Mommy?"
"Uh… yes."
