Life After Marriage: The Distance Between Darkness and Dawn

As soon as I finished my facial, the nanny called me and said that Aaron had brought a woman home.

When I got home, the woman in my pajamas was lying on the sofa flirting with Aaron.

I directly picked up the glass of water on the table and splashed it on them.

The woman screamed and hid behind Aaron pitifully.

I questioned him, “Aaron, what do you mean by this? Bringing a woman home to cheat right under my nose?”

Aaron wiped the water off his face and glared at me irritably.

“Weren't you supposed to be at your mom's today? So what’s wrong if I bring her back?”

I hadn't looked closely at the woman before, but now that I did, I was furious.

It turned out to be my son’s kindergarten teacher.

“Ms. Silva, as an educator, can you explain your behavior?”

Alice clung weakly to Aaron’s sleeve.

“I’m sorry, Mrs. Anderson. I drank too much at the bar, and coincidentally ran into Mr. Anderson. He didn’t know where I lived, so he brought me here. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Aaron patted her hand to reassure her, playing the role of the protector.

“People with dirty minds see dirt everywhere. Ms. Silva, don’t lower yourself to her level.”

Dirty mind? I laughed in anger.

Aaron changed his female companions every so often. As long as he didn’t bring them home or father illegitimate children outside, I would turn a blind eye.

Marrying him, I had some love for him, but not much. By marrying him, my parents-in-law would save the Duarte Group from the brink of bankruptcy.

In my parents-in-law’s eyes, Aaron had already given up his playful lifestyle and was ready to settle down and took over the family business.

Additionally, my mother-in-law treated me very well, so I concealed Aaron’s chaotic private life and praised him in front of her, saying he is a responsible man.

However, bringing someone home so blatantly crossed my line.

Thankfully, I sent my son back to the old house today. If he had seen his father like this, he would have been heartbroken.

“Aaron, I’ve said before, I don’t care what you do outside, but you cannot bring people home.”

Aaron stood up, holding Alice by the waist, looking impatient.

“Yeah, yeah, I know. We’ll leave right now.”

Alice’s eyes flickered, and she said coyly, “Mr. Anderson, this is your home. I’ll leave on my own. You two, please don’t misunderstand because of me.”

I folded my arms and watched her perform, not expecting Ms. Silva to be such a manipulative woman.

“Stop acting. The house’s surveillance cameras recorded everything clearly.”

Alice bit her lip, her body trembling slightly, her eyes turning red.

It seemed like she was going all out. She hugged Aaron’s arm.

“Mrs. Anderson, I know what I did was wrong, but I really like Mr. Anderson. It’s hard not to fall for someone as handsome and talented as him.”

Aaron straightened his back upon hearing her praise.

I sneered and said, “Do you know he’s a married man? You like him, and then what? Do you want to be Mrs. Anderson?”

Her face turned red.

“I never thought of replacing you. It's just that I’ve never met a man as excellent and charming as Mr. Anderson. I couldn’t help being attracted to him. I will stay away from him in the future and won’t interfere with your family.”

After saying that, she looked at Aaron reluctantly.

This aroused his protective instinct.

“Nicole, Alice said she has no intention of becoming Mrs. Anderson. She loves me for who I am, not for the title. Don’t be too hard on her.”
