After getting a positive answer, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this point, I was almost relieved.
Relieved that he had been reckless at home, bringing his mistress into the house and doing all those things, iving me the perfect evidence.

During these few days of gathering evidence, I didn’t sit idly by.
