Part 2Cheating Husband Gets Kicked Out by Mother-in-Law

I cried for an entire day, my eyes swollen like walnuts.

When Lucas came home, this was the scene he saw.

He froze for a moment and asked, "Honey, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

I pointed at the TV and said, "I just watched a sad drama. The female lead was so pitiful, it made me feel terrible. I just couldn't hold back my tears."

Lucas let out a sigh of relief and came over to hold me in his arms.

"Look at you being so emotional again. What's on TV is all fake, you know. Only you girls like to watch that stuff. I brought you some peach pastries from that shop on the corner. Go wash your hands."

Lucas's tone was extremely gentle, but I felt nothing but bitterness.

If I hadn't seen his chat messages this morning, I would never have believed he could be that kind of person.

Just thinking about him doing those things with another woman made me feel nauseous and unable to eat.

Lucas was puzzled why my morning sickness had suddenly become so severe. I just made up an excuse to brush him off.

I realized I needed to make plans early. At the very least, I needed to find out who this other woman was.

The next morning, Lucas left early for work.

As soon as he left, I got ready and followed him to near his office.

Ever since I got pregnant, Lucas had me quit my job.

He said he earned enough for our family and didn't want me to be mistreated by others outside.

So I had plenty of free time now.

I observed Lucas for several days but didn't notice anything unusual. His schedule was very regular, just going between work and home.

Anyone who saw would praise him for being a good husband.

Until a week later, Lucas told me he would be working overtime very late.

But I saw with my own eyes that he drove to a hotel.

I waited for a long, long time outside the hotel, until I had almost lost all patience.

Finally, Lucas came out, with a woman in a long dress by his side.

The woman was very thin and pale, wearing a hat.

Her arm was linked with Lucas's, and they looked very intimate. A gust of wind blew the woman's hair into disarray, and Lucas gently tucked her stray hairs behind her ear.

That caring gesture made me tremble all over.

Most importantly, I recognized that woman.

When Lucas and I got married, that woman had sat in the audience, watching us without blinking.

I thought she was strange at the time and had asked him about her.

Lucas said her name was Iris Lee, his college classmate. She was a writer with rich emotions, so seeing our happiness had moved her.

At the time, I was happy to toast her a drink.

After she drank it, she cried, saying she hoped we would be happy in the future.

Now I see, she wasn't crying because she was blessing me, but because I was marrying Lucas.

I don't know most of Lucas's friends, and he's never taken me to any of his friends' gatherings, so it's unlikely I could find out anything from his friends.
