No More Trouble, No More You

"Riley has provided all the evidence and you still refused to admit it. I'm really disappointed in you. No wonder James has become like this now, a boy who's full of lies."

Sean looked at Sharon with a disappointed look in his eyes and left with Riley and Jordan.

Sharon could still hear their conversation from a distance.

"Sean, I'm not holding her responsible anymore, so please don't criticize Sharon. I don't want you to have arguments because of me."

"Riley, there's nothing wrong with being kind. But you can't be too kind, or people will take advantage of you."

Sharon had been falsely accused by them more than once.

Sean was biased toward Riley, so the one who was always in the wrong was her.

Every time she wanted a divorce, he would look at her with disappointment.

"You grew up in a single-parent family yourself, so you know how much suffering that brings. Do you really want James to repeat your life? Are you really that selfish?"

After hearing those words, Sharon would always give in.

But the moment James died in her past life, she regretted it.

She should have taken her child and left long ago!

Thankfully, in just one more month, she could get her divorce certificate and would never have anything to do with Sean again!

Sharon, lost in despair, took James home.

On the way home, James's own eyes were still swollen, yet he was the one comforting Sharon instead.

"Mommy, I won't learn piano anymore, and I don't want Mr. Jackson either. Please don't cry."

Sharon felt sorrowful and guilty. She suppressed her emotions and wiped his tears. "Mommy's not crying."

"But your eyes are telling me that you're very sad."

Hearing this, Sharon couldn't hold back her tears. "I'm sorry, James. It's all because of my uselessness!"

It was all her fault. That was why she couldn't protect anything.

She had even caused her son to suffer with her.

James patted her gently with his small hands. "It's okay. No matter what, you're still the mommy I love the most."

Sharon held him and cried for a while. Then, the mother and son wiped away their tears and returned home.

Sean, Riley, and Jordan had already arrived and were moving things.

"Sharon, Sean has already proposed to me in front of everyone. Of course, I have to move in with him. You understand that, right?"

As soon as Riley saw Sharon, she couldn't wait to provoke her.

Sharon glanced at Sean's warning look from not far away, then lowered her eyes. "You can live wherever you want. It has nothing to do with me."

After all, she was about to get divorced.

But Riley wasn't satisfied with her reaction. "Sharon, are you mad at me?"

Hearing this, Sean quickly walked over and shielded Riley behind him.

"Sharon, it was you who spread rumors everywhere that she was a mistress, so I had no choice but to marry her in name only. You are the one who caused this, so you have no right to blame anyone!"

Sharon didn't even have the desire to argue anymore. "Okay."

Sean was quite pleased with her obedience today. "It's good that you've realized your mistake. Riley is pregnant, so let her have the master bedroom. The lighting is better there."

"Jordan likes James's children's room. For now, you and James can stay in the guest room."

As always, whatever Riley and her daughter wanted, Sharon and her son had to give up.

In the past, Sharon would feel wronged and always try to fight back.

But now, she just felt exhausted.

"Alright."

She had originally planned to tidy up a bit, but at that moment, she didn't want anything anymore.

If it weren't so late at night and if her son weren't running a fever, she would have taken him away right now!

Sean still wanted to say something.

But Sharon didn't want to listen. She carried James to the guest room.

He was puzzled. "Mommy, isn't the guest room for guests? This is our home, so why are we staying in the guest room?"

"Because… from now on, we are just guests."

Sharon placed a cooling patch on James's forehead and coaxed him to sleep early.

Sean came and knocked on the door.

"Do you need something?"

Sharon had never thought there would come a day when just seeing him would make her feel disgusted.

Sean was displeased with her attitude. "You're my wife. Do I need a reason to come find you?"

Normally, when he said something like this, Sharon would always argue back.

But this time, she was so exhausted that she didn't even want to respond.

Seeing this, Sean frowned.

Afraid that she was upset, he explained to her, "This time, it was indeed wrong of me to give James's spot to Jordan. But Riley's father once saved my life. When she asked for this spot for Jordan, I couldn't refuse."

Sharon's heart ached. "So, to repay a favor, you have to hurt me and James?"
