you take your daughter Amelia and leave I already have a baby with cane in my belly you and Amelia are getting in the way at the words my sister told me I let out a sigh and answered firmly I'm willing to give her a divorce but I can't keep my daughter Amelia my younger sister's expression distorts my words what you're her mother aren't you a apparently my sister doesn't know anything I decided to tell her the truth that she doesn't know my name is Heather I'm 35 years old and teach a piano class I live
with my husband Kane and our 14-year-old daughter Amelia K's mother is The Talented president of a major company she was so famous that she was even covered by the media and I remember how nervous I was when I met her to get married she thought about her a busy career woman was scary but when I met her she was a kind and smiling person I respect her who said to me my son has many shortcomings but please take good care of him Cain is also struggling as an employee at her company my daughter Amelia is
an honest and cheerful girl and I get along very well with her it makes me happy to to hear Amelia say we are like sisters I'm so proud of you on our days off we went shopping together and lived happily every day until I got back together with my sister that year it was unusual for the whole family to have a day off during summer Amelia's Club activities were cancelled due to the extreme heat so Cain and I were able to take summer vacation taking advantage of this holiday we decided to return to my parents
home in the countryside I thought about going back to my in-law's house but my mother-in-law was too busy to take time off when I returned to my hometown my parents warmly welcomed me however I noticed something strange oh whose shoes are these among the shoes left at the entrance were shoes clearly intended for young people as I was tilt in my head over the sandals which were probably not my mother's I Heard a Voice from the back room saying hey sis it's been a while are you surprised and my sister Laurel turned and looked at
me issued Laurel what have you been up to I was so worried about you my sister Laurel who is 7 years younger than me had not heard from our family for many years years this is because Laurel is a naughty child and had a big fight with our parents when she was in high school she ran away from home and we haven't heard from her ever since she seems to have had occasional contact with our mother and we were only able to confirm that she was alive but it seems that she had changed her mind
and returned home like us during the holidays well don't worry Laurel said nodding and when we got to the house Laurel told me about her life so far during her high school years Laurel ran away from her home fed up with her Ral stubborn parents and apparently moved in with a friend of hers in the city there she found a job opening for a part-time job at a cafe and she has been working there ever since as expected I had already moved out of my friend's house and I had become an adult so I came
back for this vacation thinking that I should at least see the faces of my parents then you were married and you have a child it's Cain and Amelia right nice to meet you Laurel lowers her head and Cain and Amelia nod in a hurry I felt lonely that Laurel hadn't contacted me in all these years but I was thinking that as long as she was doing well it was all good Cain leans over and says well I've heard the name of the cafe where I work but it's probably down an alley near the crossroads in
front of the station as Laurel put it over her head she nodded and said oh yes that's right it's a cafe with a cream colored sign board C's expression suddenly brightened up as expected um the nearest station to my company is also there and my co-workers told me that she was interested in that Cafe Laurel smiled smes at Kane's words wow great please come visit our store next time many single men visit our store as well I felt a little uncomfortable with kan's reaction but I'm genuinely happy that he's trying to get along with Laurel
it was also fate that kan's workplace was close to Laurel's parttime job sometimes I would think of her and wonder how she was doing I had been worrying about her and while I felt The Wonder of Fate that she was still alive and well so close by I shared the joy of reuniting with her after spending our holidays with Laurel and my parents Laurel started coming to visit us often sometimes I would invite her and sometimes I would get a call from Laurel saying can I go tonight my younger sister Laurel is very cute as
she is 7 years younger than me I never never turned down a request from Laurel and she never turned down an invitation from me unless she had something special planned Amelia also accepts Laurel as her aunt and Cain is so happy that he says it's like having a real sister I'm an only child so I wanted a sister like her our family became very close to Laurel and we often took her on family trips with her it was about 6 months into this life that Laurel started acting strange Laurel suddenly stopped wanting to come over
and she started ignoring my invitations Laurel is a reckless and short-tempered girl so maybe something was wrong with her worried about this I decided to visit Laurel's part-time job during lunchtime after finishing work early on weekdays it was my first time going to Laurel's workplace but I remembered the conversation I had with Kane and Laurel and I spotted a cream colored sign just inside the alley at the intersection in front of the station when you open the door and step inside you hear the sound of cowbells clanking a clerk wearing a brown apron said welcome
I said hello and when I looked for Laurel I couldn't find her right away in the small store I was relieved to see that Laurel seemed to be doing well but perhaps she was taking a break and she was sitting without a brown apron talking to someone I felt bad about it but when I peaked into the seat trying not to be seen I saw C there C must have known that I was worried about Laurel yet he never once told me that he was meeting Laurel when I said I haven't been able to get
in touch with Laurel lately she's been a bit of a troublemaker so I hope she doesn't cause any trouble again Cain said I'm sure it'll be fine she said she became an adult right I was staring at them wondering what they were talking about and then it dawned on me the two of them were holding each other's hands on the table he's so smitten with Laurel he's completely being led by the nose I realized that it was definitely a relationship between them so I ran out of the cafe and said to the confused employee are
you all right and said sorry I got to go after that I must have gotten on the train and gone home but I don't remember anything about that process I don't want Amelia to worry so when she came home after her Club activities I tried to behave as usual but I was unsure if I had done it properly that night when Amelia was asleep I asked Cain hey today I was worried about Laurel so I showed up at the cafe where she works then I saw you and Laurel talking and holding hands what kind of
relationship do you guys have in response to my cautious question Cain who was sitting on the sofa playing with his smartphone looked up and answered as if it was nothing oh I guess I found out but it's okay because I've been thinking of talking to you someday I've been dating Laurel for quite before she is 3 months pregnant now I'm thinking of divorcing you okay okay what do you mean by okay I felt so angry at Cain for admitting his Affairs so easily but Cain doesn't seem to care about my anger as he pulls out
a bag and stuffs some clothes into it where are you going I yelled and Cain told me coldly it's at Laurel's place even though my Affair was discovered there's no point in us being together I feel better being with young and cute Laurel than being with an old woman like you and I can work hard at work that's it Cain crosses in front of me stunned and walks out the front door after the door slammed shut I burst into tears oh my God then what are you going to do with Amelia my Silent Cries were
only absorbed by the Stillness of the night the next day I was on on holiday so I was spending it at home I haven't been told yet that Cain has left Amelia I told her that Cain decided to leave early in the morning for work in the house where Amelia also went to school I mly thinking about what to do next when the intercom rings I looked outside on the intercom screen and saw Laurel standing there there was no explosive anger like last night I opened the front door and greeted Laurel with a quiet anger
bubbling over Laurel slowly walked into the hallway closed her door and with a bang she threw her forehead to the ground and fell prostrate I'm having a baby with Cain I'm going to be his wife it was the first time I saw a person kneeling on the ground as I was looking down at that figure I saw Laurel's eyes as she raised her head a little and she stood up and started talking well I'm sorry but Cain also says he wants me and I'm pregnant now I want you to break up with Cain and leave
with Amelia as soon as possible okay really I said that in a voice that surprised even myself and let Laurel into the house I didn't think it was something to talk about at the door I sat down at the table in the living room and confronted Laurel I'll accept the divorce but I can't keep Amelia Laurel's expression Twisted at my words huh Amelia is getting in the way of me and C's new life you understand right when the baby is born Amelia is going to feel bad about it it's natural for the mother to keep
the child I don't even understand that you are her mother right you don't know anything when I said this as if I was taken a back Laurel asked what dissatisfied I told Laurel the truth that she didn't know Amelia is my stepchild she was Cain's child Amelia was one of my students in my piano class there I met Cain who was divorced and was her father and I've got married huh what is that I didn't know that I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Laurel looking so upset even though you're about to get married
you haven't really heard anything about it so is your marriage okay at my mockery Laurel's face turned red and she slammed the table and stood up don't worry I'll talk to Cain and come back get ready for divorce Laurel yelled at me and I nodded yes and kicked her out of my house after she left I was thinking about Amelia ever since I talked about getting divorced I've been thinking about Amelia I'm worried about Amelia but I wonder what it would be like to take her in since she isn't related by blood but as Laurel
says with a new baby in the family Amelia may find herself feeling overwhelmed it's been a few weeks since I spent my days worrying Amelia was suspicious that Cain was not here so I lied and said he was on a long business trip one day I got a call from Cain and he Laurel and I decided to have a discussion the place is our home just like when Laurel came before we sat down at a table for 4 but when C naturally sat next to Laurel I felt like I had finally given up and thought
it's really over Cain was the first to speak up when the discussion began as for Amelia I have no intention of taking her in she's a hindrance to my new life so you should take her you're calling your own daughter a nuisance are you serious when I asked this with quiet anger Cain nodded dramatically I'm sure I'm serious about it I want to start a new family with Laurel I want to reset things you're good friends with Amelia right Heather should take responsibility for raising Amelia I let out a sigh as Cain was trying to
push Amelia on me I feel bad for Amelia for having someone like this as her father I've been thinking about what to do about Amelia for a long time but I feel like I've made a decision after seeing Cain's attitude when I said with determination okay in return please make sure to pay child support Laurel who had a straight face smiled you did it Cain now all the troublemakers are gone from now on it's just you and our baby even though it's in front of me I silently stand up as they share their Joy without
hiding it then I handed cane and Laurel the brown envelope I had left on the kitchen counter what is it isn't this too thick for your divorce papers it's not a divorce papers just open it I urge Laurel who is looking at me like a fool to open her brown envelope and take out her contents Laurel's face gradually turned pale as she looked through the documents inside her what what's written on it Cain looks into the document but Laurel tries to hide it don't look at it Cain must have sensed the disturbing signs as well
Cain who took the document from Laurel by force looked at the contents of the document and was at a loss for words what is this it would be the truth that Laurel was hiding is written there inside the brown envelope is an investigation report from from the detective agency I was planning to collect evidence that she had been having an affair and demand compensation but an unexpected fact was discovered it turned out that Laurel was a spendthrift and had accumulated a large amount of debt moreover it turns out that Laurel worked as a stripper at
night to pay off her debt and that she had been having an affair with a regular customer she met there for several years the document clearly states with photos that their relationship continues to this day what do you mean does that mean you're dating someone else Cain asks Laurel her face red and Furious Laurel looked open and snorted that's right an old man like you has no attraction other than money so it can't be helped how dare you just as Cain was about to let Laurel get angry I heard the yell from my phone which
was on her table stop it while Laurel was confused and asked who Cain seemed to be the only one who recognized the owner of the voice mom yes in fact without telling Cain and Laurel I connected C's mother remotely by phone and let her hear all the conversations she was divorced and accepted her son Cain so she trusted me and always consulted with me regarding this matter I had gone to consult her then she made time out of her busy schedule and said she would participate in the discussion if she could do it remotely which
is how she participated today stop fighting now it's really pathetic forgetting how much you owe to Heather you really are a total idiot C became smaller at the words of his mother she continued it's been discovered that you have been skipping work lately and going to a hotel with a woman there your subordinates are also complaining and even though he's my son I can't protect you anymore huh Mom what does that mean it means you were fired Cain said in a trembling voice and his mother told him firmly Cain stood up and shouted into my
phone sorry Mom from now on I'll do my best at work please don't fire me Laurel who was stunned said oh that's right I'm having a baby with him you're can's mother right that means my baby is your grandchild however her mother-in-law told her in a very calm voice no matter what you say you're fired also the house and land are in my name so I refuse to let you two live there get out of that house right now Mom please forgive me it's awful that you're losing your home and job I watched for a
while as Cain continued to scream into my phone which had been disconnected and Laurel looked dumbfounded but I was getting tired of this scene we're getting divorced anyway so we're strangers now please please leave or I'll call the police I said and Cain and Laurel slumped their shoulders and left that night I told Amelia what had happened and she told me that she seemed to be aware of Cain's infidelity I was kind of aware that Dad was having an affair with Laurel but will you remain my mother won't you abandon me I answered Amelia by
hugging her as she spoke nervously it's obvious I'll always be your mom after that I and Cain divorced Amelia and I were able to continue living in this house thanks to the kindness of my former mother-in-law however Cain and Laurel get into an argument after Cain loses his job and home and it turns out that the child she is pregnant with is not Cain's apparently they broke up after that Cain called me crying and saying Heather it was my fault I just had a bad dream let's go back to the fun times I just hung
up and set my phone to reject calls because I didn't have any regrets about the man who would abandon not only me but Amelia as well it seems that Cain is having a tough time after losing his job and he is paying Amelia's child support while working at a construction site which he is not used to but it's none of my business anymore apparently Laurel forced her Patron who was the father of her unborn child to marry her but because her partner had a wife and children her partner's wife demanded a large amount of compensation
Laurel's debt continues to grow and she seems to be living in fear of debt collectors Laurel was in no position to raise a child because she was being chased by debt collectors the child Laurel gave birth to was taken in by my parents in the countryside and apparently raised with lots of love during my next long vacation I plan to go with Amelia to see the child's growth although the child was born under complicated circumstances the baby is cute Amelia says I'm looking forward to meeting the baby there are going to be some tough times
ahead but with Amelia I'm sure we'll get through them even though we are in the process of getting married I think it's okay to be grateful to Cain for giving me my daughter
