"Felix, how can you not believe in mom! I saw your dad!" lody Zachary grabbed her son’s arm, but suddenly stopped speaking, looking at her son’s lips that quivered several tis, then sighed and turned her face away.
"What did you see," Felix Shaw feigned a relaxed deanor, raising his hand to gently pat the back of his mother’s hand, while his heart was already churning.
lody Zachary hesitated for a mont, then looked back at her son as if she had made up her mind, grabbing his arm with her other hand, her face full of grievance.
"Felix, at this point, mom can’t care about losing face anymore, that night..."
lody Zachary, while shedding tears, told her son about the "evidence" she had found. Ever since Mrs. Zhang said doing more could make a woman look younger, lody had subtly asked her husband at night for intimacy, but several tis Oliver Shaw had brushed her off, saying he was too tired. Last night, not giving up, lody reached her hand into her husband’s pajamas.
At that ti, Oliver Shaw was lying with his back to her. lody’s hand reached into his back slowly caressing, trying to arouse her husband, but unexpectedly, she felt multiple scratch marks on his back, seemingly left by a woman’s nails.
At that mont, lody beca suspicious, turned on the bedside lamp to check, but Oliver Shaw brushed it off, pulled her into his arms, and turned off the light...
With thoughts weighing on her, lody didn’t sleep much all night. She woke up early in the morning, and while her husband was still deeply asleep, she quietly lifted up his pajamas.
On Oliver Shaw’s back, there were clear scratch marks, both new and old, indicating they weren’t made at one ti.
Thinking about how her husband had been neglecting her in recent years, always saying he was too old and lacked the strength, lody believed it!
But if he lacked the strength, where did these scratch marks on his back co from! Thinking about this filled lody with grievance.
Having moved far to the north to marry, in earlier years because Oliver Shaw stuck to her, he hardly let her visit her hotown, nearly severing her ties with her relatives over the years. But who would have thought that her husband, whom she revered, would cheat.
After listening to his mother’s story, Felix Shaw’s handso face also turned serious, "Mom, are you sure you saw correctly?"
"Felix, mom has experience, how could I be wrong!" lody cried with grievance, wiping her tears with a tissue, crying as she spoke, "What should mom do? Your dad is keeping a woman on the side..."
"Mom, don’t be sad, you still have . If dad really is keeping another woman, and you don’t want to be with him anymore, your son will take care of you," Felix Shaw comforted his mother, pulling her close and gently patting her back, but lody cried even more sadly, "Felix, I’m used to serving your dad, I don’t want to divorce him..."
Half a lifeti of marriage, especially for a full-ti housewife like lody, who regarded her family and husband as her everything. But when she discovered that her everything no longer belonged to her, it truly felt like the sky was falling.
Facing his mother’s sobs, Felix Shaw could only comfort her silently. His father’s betrayal of his mother felt like a betrayal to him too, but with everything still uncertain, he didn’t know how to console his mother.
However, he had already made a decision in his heart. No matter whether his father was serious or just playing around, he had to restrain him promptly, to prevent the situation from worsening, and he didn’t want his mother to continue to be sad.
That evening, after dinner, Felix Shaw invited his father to the study.
Father and son each sat down on a sofa. Felix Shaw took out a cigarette pack, offered one to his father, and then lit one for himself.
After taking a drag, Felix Shaw said, "Dad, right now, I’m not your son, but as a man, let’s talk."
