Chapter 156: Her Husband(2)
She wanted to better herself. She even changed her doctor as the previous doctor was not working for her. She joined support groups, took walks, did yoga, and did every possible thing that might make her better.
She wanted to be better for her daughter and her lovely husband who was extremely supportive of her.
She wanted to be more like him. He was so lovely and so forgiving. His family hated him. There was no falsehood in that. They hated him. They didn’t care what happened to him. They won’t even invite him to their family functions or for thanksgiving and Christmas.
But Lennon would be there, even when he was not invited. ’They are family,’ he’d say. ’Family stays together.’
She always wondered how someone would be so saintly to go back to their home only to be treated with contempt. She hated that family for treating him like that.
But looking back now, she could see that they are all smart people. They could see the monster in him when she failed to do so.
And it was very late when she figured out why her husband stepped foot inside that house even when he was not welcomed there. Even when no one invites him, even when they try hard to keep it a secret, he would go there.
She thought he learned of it through Liam. But she later learned that her husband was constantly spying on that family to have reasons to be there.
And Liam... She thought he loved that boy dearly. There were times when she was jealous of Liam.
But, he was just a pawn for that monster’s game, just like she was.
Not knowing the true face of her husband, she tried hard to better herself to be suitable for him. But she faced more and more troubles. Her condition only deteriorated.
She started forgetting things. One day she was preparing the bath for Skyla. She ran the bathtub as usual. She readied Skyla for the bath. The girl was a little fuzzy that day and refused to get inside the water unless Aina got inside with her. Aina was the teacup poodle she raised in their home.
