I was scared by her staring at me, unconsciously moving away from her.
"What's wrong? Why did you stop me from going on?"
Anna sighed and handed me a cup of coffee, shaking her head at my ignorant look.
"Don't you think there's something amiss between your mom and your husband?"
I took a sip of coffee and looked at her exasperated look, feeling puzzled.
"What's wrong with them? Eric has always been filial, often taking care of my mom for me. I can't go home early because of the heavy workload, and my mom fears staying at home alone. Eric happens to be free."
Anna shook her head and gave me a punch with gritted teeth.
"Are you out of your mind? Your mom and Eric must be hiding something from you. How could a mother defend her son-in-law when he has an affair? She completely disregards your feelings!"
Shocked, I recalled the usual scenes of my husband and mom at home.
The two of them always whispered to each other. I had no idea what they were talking about, but when they saw me, they quickly separated.
Sometimes, my mother's eyes hid a sinister look when she looked at me, but when I looked at it carefully, it disappeared. My husband was the same as her.
