"Hello, could you please draw up a divorce agreement for me?" Edith Lane dialed her lawyer, briefly confirmed the divorce arrangements, and then ended the call. Suddenly, a chubby little hand tugged at her sleeve. Leo's big, round eyes were a little teary. "Mommy, are you really going to divorce Mr. Carter?" Leo asked. After a moment of silence, Edith let out a deep sigh, looking completely worn out. "Yeah, it's too exhausting being with him. I don't want him anymore. Leo, will you leave with Mommy?" As she spoke, Edith gently rubbed Leo's head. Leo's hand slowly slipped away, and he hesitated before speaking. "But... But Mr. Carter kissed you today, and he gave me a piggyback ride. He loves us, doesn't he?" Looking into her son's hopeful eyes, Edith felt her own eyes grow teary. She didn't know how to tell him that no father would ever have his own son call him "Mr. XX". Besides, Jason Carter had only acted that way because he was drunk and feeling cheerful today. He was happy because his ex-girlfriend, Selina Evans, had returned to the country.
