I also obtained records of Rick booking hotel rooms and recordings of his phone calls.
“Darling, once I get divorced, I’ll bring you home. My mom is over the moon knowing you’re pregnant and wants to take good care of you.”
“Really? What if that woman refuses to divorce you?”
“Then we’ll just make her disappear from this world.”
Seeing Rick and Helen flirting made my stomach churn.
I had gathered enough evidence—now all I needed was the results of the test.
Back home, I acted as usual, though my mindset was entirely different.
Judith noticed something was off.
“What’s wrong with you? Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up to just because I wasn’t home. And the food today is so salty!”
“Oh, I was at the produce shed picking fresh vegetables, so it took me a little longer. Are you feeling unwell? You seem extra sensitive to taste today,” I replied with a smile.
“Nonsense! I’m perfectly healthy,” she retorted.
She prided herself on her health, always worrying that if she died too early, she wouldn’t get to see her grandchild.
“Rick won’t be coming home tonight,” she added.
“I’ll take some food to him later on,” I said.
As usual, she couldn’t resist belittling me. “Look at my son, working so hard every day, while you’re nothing but a useless housewife.”
I sneered inwardly. ‘Enjoy this time while it lasts. Once the divorce is finalized, life won’t be so easy for any of you.’
