His Mistress Wanted My House, So I Took His Mother and Left

Synopsis

"Emily, the baby needs a real family," Susan Ray said. She was sitting on my couch, her five-month baby bump on full display. I looked at Mark Holden. He kept his head down, not saying a word. "Can we have the house?" she asked. She smiled, her hand resting on her belly. I smiled too. "Sure," I said. Mark's head snapped up. "We'll sign the papers tomorrow," I said. I stood up and looked toward the door. Mark's mother, Margaret, was standing there with her suitcase. "Let's go, Emily," she said. She didn't even spare Mark a glance. "Mom!" Mark called out. "I'm leaving with Emily," she said.
