During a family gathering, Richard Shaw's subordinates once again teased his female partner by calling her "Mrs. Shaw." I remained unmoved and quietly stepped aside to make space. It was then that he suddenly realized I hadn't argued with him in a long time. There was a time when he only had to sit near her to discuss work for me to question him relentlessly, refusing to let it go. But at that moment, even when our son hugged that woman and said in front of everyone, "Olivia, I wish you could be my mom." I didn't stop him. Richard abruptly stood up, pulling our son away from Olivia Lane. He said, "Enough of this nonsense. I don't want to hear such words again." I gently set down my cup. My tone was indifferent. I said, "Children speak without thinking. Let him say what he wants. Why bother arguing with him?" The atmosphere returned to normal. Everyone praised me for finally being sensible. They were unaware that I had already made up my mind to leave.
