To protect him, Kelly was finally willing to look at me with respect.
"Leo's dreams are about to come true. This has nothing to do with our past grievances. Don't mess things up for him."
I was already blinded by rage. "Mess things up! I'm all set. Everyone at the exhibition will be delighted to see those masterpieces.”
Suddenly, a document was slammed onto the table before me.
“If you want to preserve your mother's final resting place in peace, be obedient. Sign this divorce agreement and stay far away from me and Leo.”
When my mother was buried, I was too grief-stricken to handle anything. So, Kelly, as her daughter-in-law, took care of everything, including choosing the burial plot and purchasing the land.
