Dear Husband, Please Love Me More

As soon as Tessa arrived at Sara's apartment, she went straight to the guest room and fell asleep, feeling completely depleted and exhausted. It was nearing dusk when Tessa woke up, disturbed by Sara's consistent shaking.

Tessa then heard Sara whisper urgently, "Tessa, wake up! Mark and his mother are in the living room."

Blinking her eyes, Tessa quickly covered her head with a quilt, grumbling, "Drive him away!"

Sara frowned in irritation. "It's obviously his fault, so why are you the one hiding from him?"

Then, she yanked the quilt away from Tessa and hissed, "Since that bastard came here with his mother, we should demand an explanation from them!"

Sara dragged her to the living room without waiting for Tessa to react. Helpless, Tessa had no choice but to follow Sara.

As soon as he saw Tessa, Mark stood up immediately. However, Karina, his mother, who was seated next to him, didn't get up. The middle-aged woman had her arms crossed and exuded an air of arrogance.

"What are you doing here?" Tessa asked weakly. After all, Tessa once loved this man deeply, so she felt a pang in her heart whenever she saw Mark and remembered his betrayal.

Before Mark could answer, Karina answered haughtily, "Of course, to ask for an explanation from you. Why did you suddenly decide to call off the wedding?"

Tessa was accustomed to Karina's icy attitude towards her. Eight years ago, Karina seemed indifferent and distant when Mark formally introduced her to his parents. However, that all changed when the Crossley family filed for bankruptcy.

At that time, Tessa had to take care of Mark's parents while funding his education abroad, so her relationship with Karina improved. However, after Mark returned to work for TL Group, Karina treated her coldly and even sometimes abused her for no apparent reason.

Sara was an amenable person. However, she didn't like to be coerced. As such, facing Karina's rude demeanor, Sara furiously said, "How dare you come here and question us?! It's Tessa who should ask for an explanation from you!"

Pulling Sara's arm, Tessa shook her head and signaled Sara to stop talking.

Then, Tessa slightly raised her head to meet Karina's eyes and said, "I think I have made it very clear to Mark."

After all, Mark had broken his promise and cheated on her. How could they expect Tessa to marry him as if nothing had happened?

"Why are you making a big deal out of this?" Karina scoffed, "Didn't you flirt with a man in the bar and have sex with him?"

Sara rolled her eyes and said in ridicule, "No wonder Mark is an asshole. It turns out his garbage character runs in the family."

Karina felt extremely insulted when she heard this. She pointed her finger at Sara and exclaimed, "You uneducated wench!"

Karina turned to Tessa in disgust. "What kind of people are you mingling with, Tessa?!"

Unfazed, Sara challenged, "Huh, I'm uneducated? Do you think you educated your son well by teaching him to cheat on his fiancee for years and have a baby with her best friend?"

Mark, who was sitting next to Karina, remained silent. Tessa gave him a disappointed look. Unlike before, he didn't stop his mother from accusing and wronging her.

"Mark," Tessa quietly said, "Tell your mother what happened last night in the new house in Arlington Suburbs."

Mark gazed at Karina but said nothing.

For some reason, Karina became anxious. She quickly said, "We all know what you did in the bar last night. Instead of admitting your mistake, you are accusing Mark instead."

Tessa suppressed her anger and tried so hard not to lash out. "Last night, I caught Mark and Martina in our bed, both naked. Martina also admitted that Arthur is Mark's son," she said, through gritted teeth.

Although Tessa didn't want to recall or talk about it, Karina and Mark forced her to do otherwise.

Hearing this, Karina was not a bit surprised. She even retorted, "Arthur is Mark's son, but our family hasn't acknowledged his existence, nor do we intend to welcome Martina into the family. So, what's the big deal about that?"

Her words undoubtedly shattered Tessa's heart even more. Mark's family was aware of his relationship with Martina and Arthur, but they all lied to her and treated her like a fool.

Tessa dryly chuckled while holding back her tears. Forcing herself to stay calm, Tessa said in frustration, "What's the big deal?! Well, for me, your son having an affair with my best friend and even having a son together was a big deal, so I've broken up with him!"
