I simply stood there with my hands on my hips, watching.
After all, if I wasn’t embarrassed, the embarrassment was theirs.
Sure enough, within seconds, Daniel’s face shifted from green to white to red.
Finally, with a loud click, he yanked his pants back up in panic.
“Ma’am, you stayed. That means you believe me, right? Emily and you both misunderstood—”
“I stayed because I have something to say,” I cut him off, staring him down for a full thirty seconds. “The marriage between you and Emily is off.”
Daniel’s face went pale.
“Mom—”
“Get out!” I roared, flashing another rude gesture. “With your pathetic little self, you think you can make my Emily happy?!”
Daniel stomped his foot and rushed after Emily.
Rachel twirled the key around her finger as she strolled out of the bathroom.
“Ma’am, why are you so worked up?”
“Daniel and I are like siblings. We grew up together. When we were kids, we used to play house—he’d be the husband, I’d be the wife. That lock? Just an inside joke. You’re too old-fashioned to understand. Even Emily is acting outdated.”
I snorted with laughter. “You really take after your mother.”
Hearing the commotion outside, I quickened my steps.
