A husband who mocked his old wife\u2019s wrinkled skin and gray hair froze in shock when he saw her on TV with a famous Hollywood star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m removing the dresser from our bedroom,\u201d Peter Gill joked one night before going to bed. \u201cYou are now too old to wear makeup. Which concealer on earth will hide your wrinkles? Hahaha!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke Gill, 59, was used to hearing such taunts from her husband. When they fell in love decades ago in college, Peter was flattered by Brooke\u2019s beauty. But at present, he endlessly picked on her for her time-worn appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One day, the heartbroken old woman appeared on TV with a famous star and taught her husband that beauty is only skin deep\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke was the woman of many men\u2019s dreams during her times. She fell in love with only one man, Peter, her now-husband. The couple lived happily for decades and had five children who were all settled abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cAre you dating someone? You\u2019re wearing too much makeup nowadays\u2026 But who on earth would be blind to date an old woman like you? Hahahahaha\u2026.\u201d<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Although Peter retired too early, Brooke decided to continue working. She was managing a real estate company and kept herself occupied with work while aging gracefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She cried herself to sleep each day whenever Peter taunted her looks. One night, he laughed at her, saying, \u201cI was wondering how you\u2019ll look in a baby doll\u2026with your gray hair and wrinkly saggy skin\u2026hahaha!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter was 61, and to him, age was just a number for men. \u201cWomen are meant to be beautiful, not us men,\u201d he often mocked poor Brooke.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter\u2019s taunts saw no end. Daily, he came up with something or the other involving his wife\u2019s appearance. Brooke was crushed when he practically had their dresser removed from their bedroom one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut I need it to get ready for work!\u201d she cried. Peter smirked at her, which only fueled his jokes about how old she looked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWho is gonna look at you, darling? Just look at you\u2026You need no mirror to touch up that saggy face! Hahaha!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke was hurt. On her way to her office that day, she visited Lily, a close friend who was a psychologist, and revealed her sorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe always says things about my appearance,\u201d Brooke sobbed. \u201cI am crushed and scared it would affect our marriage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After listening to Brooke, Lily comforted her. And then she showed her a magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLook, these women are much older than you\u2026Why don\u2019t you contact this modeling agency and try your luck?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke was shocked looking at the catalog. Photos of several older women made her rethink her age. \u201cAre they seriously older than me? They look much younger!\u201d she exclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But deep inside, Brooke doubted her luck with modeling. She looked at the small mirror in her purse and smirked. \u201cI can\u2019t do this\u2026I am too old\u2026I just can\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s when Lily motivated her. \u201cWhen you have the desire to do something, forget age\u2026It\u2019s just a number!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lily\u2019s encouraging words echoed in Brooke\u2019s ears. After deep thought, she said to herself, \u201cWHY NOT???\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She secretly drove to the modeling agency and met the chief agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After deep thought, Brooke decided to give modeling a try. | Source: Pexels<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInteresting! You look gorgeous, trust me,\u201d the woman said. \u201cWe are here to let the world know that beauty is not age-restricted\u2026WELCOME to your new world of fashion, Mrs. Gill!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agent\u2019s words breathed confidence in Brooke. She was delighted and launched her secret modeling career that day. Every day after work, she left for the agency and modeled for different photoshoots. Soon, she became one of the top models posing for several reputed fashion labels and cosmetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As she started coming home later than usual, Peter became suspicious seeing her glowy skin and adorable hairdos. One evening, she returned home smelling good. She looked confident in her skin and was all smiles. It irked Peter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you dating someone?\u201d he sheepishly asked her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke froze in shock. \u201cWhat did you just say?\u201d she retorted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHaha\u2026I was just wondering\u2026 You\u2019re wearing too much makeup nowadays,\u201d Peter said. \u201cBut who on earth would be blind to date an old woman like you? Hahahahaha\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter\u2019s words shattered Brooke. She skipped dinner and cried herself to sleep that night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The following morning, Peter saw her side of the bed empty. \u201cWhere did she go without even cooking me breakfast?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He looked around for Brooke, but she was not there. Peter had a day off that day. He tried calling his wife, but she never answered his calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter was furious. \u201cWait until you get back, you silly old woman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After cooking himself breakfast, Peter turned on the TV, and while switching channels, he froze dead at a fashion channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It featured several older women surrounding a famous Hollywood celebrity who was the show\u2019s guest. And next to him was Brooke!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBROOKE??? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING ON TV???\u201d he shrieked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, ladies! What motivated you to start modeling? Mrs. Gill, you\u2019re up next!\u201d the host said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter gaped in awe as Brooke took the mike. \u201cMy husband made me do it,\u201d she said. \u201cHe believes beauty is only about a woman with soft velvety skin and gorgeous hair.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The camera zoomed, capturing Brooke\u2019s teary eyes. \u201cDoes love fade away just because we turn old? Why are people obsessed with beauty that is only skin deep?\u201d she cried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTo men who think women belong in the kitchen, NO, WE DON\u2019T!\u201d Brooke added. \u201cAnd to those husbands who feel your wife\u2019s wrinkles and gray hair are a shame, LOOK AT YOURSELF IN THE MIRROR AND THEN TALK!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke\u2019s interview dropped a bomb on Peter\u2019s heart. \u201cWhat have I done? How could I have been so rude to my beloved wife?\u201d he cried.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He decided to apologize to Brooke and planned a surprise for her later that evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Brooke returned home, she found the house completely dark. \u201cPeter? Are you home?\u201d she called out. But there was no response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just then, the lights turned on, followed by a burst of streamers. \u201cI am so proud of you, honey,\u201d Peter said. \u201cI am sorry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brooke was touched. Then Peter took her to their bedroom and unveiled the surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh my God! It\u2019s unbelievable!\u201d Brooke shouted joyfully after seeing a new dresser adorned with branded cosmetics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI AM SORRY, HONEY!\u201d Peter said, kissing Brooke on her forehead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From that day on, he stopped poking fun at his wife\u2019s age and was genuinely proud of her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
