After all, they had a child now; divorce was a decision they could make, but what about the child?
From a mother's perspective, of course, she hoped her daughter would leave the scumbag as soon as possible and start a new life. Her daughter was still young; even if she got divorced, it wouldn't hinder her future marriage to another man. But having a child changed things.
There weren't many men willing to raise another man's child, no matter how much he loved the woman. It wasn't impossible to find such a man, but the odds were slim—why lessen the chances? Of course, her priority was her daughter's happiness. The best approach was to divorce as soon as possible to cut the losses, and then abort the child. But she couldn't say that.
However, Lu Weixi seemed to understand her mother's thoughts. With a light smile, she said, "I'll handle it. I won't have any contact with him anymore, neither in marriage nor regarding the child."
