My Mother Helped My Lying Husband to Cheat On Me

My heart shook. She actually told me to get out for Eric's sake?

She was my father's second wife. She had always been good to me, and I had always seen her as my real mother.

Even when my dad had a mistress, I stood by her side, blaming my dad and fearing that she would not be able to bear it, accompanying her day and night.

I regarded her plans for my life as her love for me as a mother, and I even went to see the men she introduced me, including Eric.

I didn't have many feelings for Eric, but the long time he had been good to me had made me get used to his presence.

As for children, it was Eric who said that he didn't want any. Why did my mother end up thinking I didn't want kids?

Is it my fault that he cheated on me? Men's desires, huh?!

I wanted to cry, but I couldn't for some reason.

"Mom, do you see me as your child?"

She nodded and held my hand, saying, "Bailey, it's because I treat you as my daughter that I can't bear to see you get divorced. I've long told you to stay away from that Anna. I suspect that your father has given his property to that vamp."

Upon hearing that, I immediately pulled back my hand, with a hint of coldness in my eyes.

"Mom, if you insult Anna again, I will have a falling out with you. She has been with me since we were little, and I know what kind of person she is. She hasn't gotten anything from my dad. Maybe his property was given to some mistress of his."

Seeing my change in expression, my mom started sobbing.

"I have raised you so painstakingly. Your father passed away early without giving me a penny. I don't even know whom he gave his property to. Anna often comes to our house. I think she's here for your father. You ungrateful child, you should side with an outsider. I have loved you in vain all these years!"

Eric saw my mom crying and gently patted her back. My mom fell into his arms and sobbed.

I watched my crying mom in my husband's arms, and when I looked up, I met Anna's shocked gaze.
