Chapter 4: Divorce

The next day, Adrian's mother called and said she wanted me to come back for a meal with her.

I didn't even need to think about what I would be facing if I went back.

Because Adrian's mother never liked me, just because I hadn't given their family a child.

But this isn't something I can decide; it's Adrian who refuses to have a child.

And of course, his mother wouldn't blame her son; instead, she blames me, the daughter-in-law, for lacking charm, always despising and making things difficult for me.

When I arrived at the Cole Family's house, Emma was actually there.

It's like she's haunting me!

Inside, Emma was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Cole, as if they were family.

When she saw me enter.

"Olivia, you're here, have a seat."

Mrs. Cole gave me a disdainful look and let go of Emma's hand.

My arrival dampened her spirits.

"I must say, Olivia, you've been married into our family for so many years, and haven't even laid an egg, it's unacceptable."
