Unsurprisingly, Rebecca was already there, her voice rising with tears and complaints as if something unbearable had happened.
"Ash, Scarlett broke all the vases you bought for me and even called the cops on me. How could she do that? She's plain evil!" she said through gritted emotion.
"That woman has no limits, Ash. Do you really want to stay with her for the rest of your life just for the sake of a child?" Joe added, his tone sharp, siding without hesitation.
I stood outside for a brief moment, then chose not to linger and listen like someone without dignity. Taking a steady breath, I pushed the door open and stepped inside.
The room fell into an immediate silence. I felt it shift, subtle but heavy, as all attention landed on me. Rebecca's gaze burned the moment she saw me, her emotions rising fast, but I ignored her completely.
I walked past her, keeping my focus on Ashton, who remained seated on the bed. The untouched breakfast was still there, waiting.
