As I said that, I deliberately took out my phone and showed him the photo of the resignation letter on the desk.

There was a strange look in Audrey's eyes. She hugged Lucas tightly, not allowing him to see it, and said, "Lucas, your mom lied again. Let's ignore her. Lucas, go live with Grandma in the countryside, okay?"

I had wanted to leave Audrey some dignity, but now in her eyes, I was just a wicked woman, so I fulfilled her wish and snatched my son from her arms.

My son was scared and cried loudly, shouting for Grandma.

I directly kicked Audrey out of the house, locked the door, and let her curse outside.

My son cried for a long time, his voice grew hoarse, and he kept saying that he hated me.

It took him an hour to fall asleep.

I stroked his red eyes with guilt and silently vowed in my heart: Lucas, from now on, Mom will never let anyone hurt you again.

When Liam came back from work in the evening, he started scolding me right away.

He accused me of scaring our son and locked his mother outside the door.

He said I was unreasonable.

Huh, aren't it you who made me unreasonable?

I used to be understanding and compassionate.

Later, life became a mess, and I turned into someone short-fused, arguing with anyone I met.

"Did you quit your job?" he asked.

"Hmm." I nodded.

Of course, I didn't submit the resignation letter. I just took an annual leave.

If I quit and lost my job, it would be more advantageous for him to fight for custody of our son.

I checked the bag he had put in the entrance cabinet when he came back while he was taking a shower.

That was where he put his shoes, so I usually wouldn't touch it.

The bag contained a divorce agreement, saying he would only give me 30,000 dollars while the house, car, and custody of our son all belonged to him.

I quietly put the agreement back in place, and when he finished showering and came out, I pretended to have a discussion with him. "My parents' old house was demolished, and they received 6 million dollars in compensation. They plan to give me 2 million dollars. Should we buy a house in a good school district or get a new car?"

Liam looked at me in surprise and almost blurted out, "Your parents are willing to give you 2 million dollars?"

What surprised him was that I had already cut off ties with my family, but my parents were still willing to give me 2 million dollars.
