Heb, shocked expression instantly transformed into delight.
“See that, Isabella? Since you wouldn’t stay with my son, someone else is already giving him a child? She turned to Hannah. “Oh, sweetheart, quick, have a seat!”
Hannah looked straight at me, eyes full of smug satisfaction
Then I looked at George
His expression was hard to read, but a hint of embarrassment flashing.
1 let out a quiet chuckle, took my luggage, and got ready to leave.]]
“I bet someone’s grinding their teeth into dust right now! Must be killing her to see her ex husband having a baby with another woman right after the divorce. So satisfying!”
It’s a blessing you divorced my son, otherwise who knows when I’d finally get to hold a grandchild! Thank the heavens, the Wayne family ancestors have truly blessed us my George finally has an heir!“]
And that was why 1 never liked her.
Before the marriage, she nitpicked everything about me, always convinced I wasn’t good enough for George
After the marriage, she continued her targeting, anything I had, she wanted better versions
she was
was very jealous, jealous of me, taking off his baby son
“Madam Wayne, your son is shooting blanks! Stop blaming me for everything–I want kids too, but he’s the problem here!”
Sometimes, you don’t need a long speech:[]
Just a single sentence can end everything.
And that also saves your
time
Of all the people in that room, Hannah had the worst reaction. Her fare went completely pale as she turned to George, stunned
He hadn’t reacted angrily earlier because he didn’t want his mom to know the truth.
His mom’s eyes widened, and she finally understood the implication of him.
She immediately slapped Hannah across the face, then grabbed her hair and beat her.
“You little bitch! You just got with my son and you’re already cheating on him? No wonder they say women with no education have no class!”
Hannah cried out in pain, begging him for help.
But George couldn’t be bothered to care for her.
Suddenly, I put down my huggage and came back. Hearing his mom’s words, I smiled, “By the way, love to look down on other people’s education, but didn’t you drop out before finishing elementary school? So how exactly are you better than the rest of us?”
The hand beating Hannah fráze in mid–air []
I only came back because I’d forgotten my car keys. Then I grabbed them casually off the table
George had rushed to open the door when he heard my voice, probably thinking I’d changed my mind. But seeing me just come back for the keys…]
Bang, 1 let the door slam shut again
Soon after, my phone pinged with a message. It was from George.
[Enjoying the show?
I saw the little “typing..” bubble appear. It stayed there for a long time, but no message ever came through again.]
I was staying at a hotel for now, taking a breather before I started house–hunting
With nothing better to do, I opened up that old group chat
Just for sure I was still in there, I sent a random emoji.]
Turns out.. I was.]
Vera replied first: [71]
Then the others gradually joined in as well.]]
Hannah had already been kicked out of the group, by Vern
George’s friends still address me as before. [Mrs. Wayne! What’s the occasion?]||
I dropped a picture of the divorce certificate.||
Then tagged Henry
When’s that handstand–spinning–shit wet. Heary?
His silence said it all []
