The screen showed Sean holding a woman draped in his jacket as they exited a car. She leaned against his chest, her face flushed with something more than just warmth.
Though her body was mostly covered, the camera caught a tantalizing glimpse of her bare thigh, dotted with suspicious red marks.
No explanation was needed. It didn't take much to know that the two of them had just experienced a heated battle in the car.
A reporter's voice filled the room: "Sean Carter, CEO of the Carter Group, was spotted with a mysterious woman…"
When my mother-in-law saw this news, she was so furious that her chest rose and fell strongly, her breathing was rapid, and her whole body was filled with anger. Anger contorted her face, but when her gaze landed on me, it softened into guilt and sorrow.
Tears welled in her eyes. She struggled to speak but then choked out, "Fine. I’ll help you with the divorce."
Look at her choking and wiping tears, my heart like something blocked, pain pricked at my chest, sharp and relentless. Still, I held firm. "Thank you, Mom."
