My Mother Helped My Lying Husband to Cheat On Me

My husband cheated on me, but my mom even spoke up for him.

She blamed me for not having kids, so he went to someone else.

She even said she would rely on him in her old age and told me to get lost.

I remained silent for a long time before speaking, "Mom, we have been together for more than ten years. Is an outsider more important to you than me?"

Her eyes flickered. She hesitated and finally got angry. "You have no say in this family. Get out!"

I sneered, "Mom, I forgot to tell you that when Dad left, he gave me his property. You and him can both get lost!"

I looked at the thick stack of photos in my hands, unable to stop trembling, but I managed to suppress the anger inside me.

Okay, Eric Carter, you're really good at hiding. You've long had an affair, but you always acted like you loved me so much.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

My best friend Anna Turner sighed deeply as she hugged me.

"Your mom didn't let me tell you. I meant to find you, but I met your mom halfway and couldn't help but tell her about it. However, she advised me not to break up your marriage. I warned Eric euphemistically, but I didn't expect him to show no restraint."

Why didn't my mom tell me? It's such a big thing, but she asked Anna to keep it from me.

I had a headache. My leader had been demanding to work overtime these days, so I hadn't slept enough for a long time.

I lay on the sofa, thinking about how to handle it.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

"Bailey, calm down. I'll go open the door."

I was rubbing my forehead when a deep voice sounded.

"Anna, why did you call me here?"

I heard Eric's voice and sat up at once.

Why did Anna call him? What's the point of doing that? I just need a divorce, and there's no need to consider it.

"Come on in. Bailey is also here."

Eric was wearing a black suit with gold-rimmed glasses.

I saw a hint of surprise in his eyes, followed by a raised eyebrow and a smile.

"Honey, why do you have to come to Anna's house to talk about something that can be discussed at home?"

Anna poured a glass of water to signal Eric to sit down.

"Hey, you two, whatever you have to say, say it here. You've been married for so many years. Talk calmly and peacefully about how to handle it. I'll leave and wait until you finish talking."

I held Anna's hand and asked her to sit down.

"No need to do that. There's nothing to hide."

Eric had a hint of doubt in his eyes but then sat down, wanting to hold me in his arms.

I pushed him away in disgust. We'd been married for three years. I didn't expect that behind his loving appearance, he would be such a person.

I threw the photos at him.

"Eric, take a look yourself. We're getting divorced next Monday."

He picked up a photo and looked at it. Then he laughed.

"Honey, who photoshopped this so realistically? How could I, who love you so much, do such a thing? Have you forgotten that I always massage your belly when you have your period, and I bring you whatever you want with just one phone call? I do your laundry, wash your feet, and put you to sleep."

Hearing him say these things, I also felt a bit of pain in my heart.

I never thought that the person who could do these things and loved me so much would cheat on me.

Maybe love could be faked.

Eric kept explaining beside me, listing all the things he had done for me, looking like I had accused him wrongly.

He was about to hug me when the doorbell rang.

It was my mom, Margery. She was panting. When she saw us, she breathed a sigh of relief, then closed the door and came over to scold me.
