Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1949

In my past life or what Jeffrey planted in my head, to be precise, my mother was always a delicate, gentle woman.

To be mild, Shirley Tarrant was soft and graceful. To be blunt, she was timid and spineless.

Even when she found out Antione Buchan was cheating on her with her half-sister, she just swallowed it.

She played blind and deaf because, outside the Buchan family, she had nowhere else to go.

I was tiny back then, but I remember when my aunt, Joanne Tarrant, lost her husband.

Shirley and Joanne had the same father but different mothers.

Shirley was my grandfather's illegitimate daughter from before his marriage, while Joanne was born by his lawful wife.

They looked somewhat alike. Shirley was softer, while Joanne was more striking and bolder.

I woke up from a nap earlier than usual. Strange noises came from a second-floor room.

Thinking it was Shirley, I crept upstairs. The bedroom door was cracked open just a sliver.

Inside, Joanne was draped over Antione, the two locked in a heated kiss.

I froze. The doll in my hands slipped, hitting the floor with a dull thud.

They jumped, spinning to see me in the doorway.
