"That's right, you should be disgusted. You can earn your own money now, your son is successful, and you're... passable looking. Divorce that bastard and we'll find you someone better. What is there to worry about!"
Phoebe Huxley insincerely praised Rosalind Green's beauty. In truth, she didn't find her attractive at all. She was just a scrawny thing; Phoebe felt like she could snap her in two with a single finger. A woman who couldn't do any real work. If she were a mother-in-law, she'd never allow such a delicate daughter-in-law into her family.
Phoebe Thorne and the others all looked at Phoebe Huxley, the corners of their mouths twitching. They finally understood where Jim Thorne got his warped sense of aesthetics. So, the root of the problem was right here!
You could criticize almost anything about Rosalind Green, but her looks were truly flawless. Even as women, they found themselves captivated by her beauty, to say nothing of men.
