Melissa noticed me staring downstairs and leaned over. “Mr. Holcomb? Who’s that bitch with him? And what is she doing?”

“She’s fixing his tie,” I said.

Tracy had just straightened Jared’s collar, then moved on to adjust his tie. The two of them shared a smile before walking through the door together.

Melissa’s eyes went wide in disbelief, then her gaze turned sympathetic as she looked at me. “Victoria, does it hurt?” she asked, reaching out to hug me.

I felt like I was frozen in place, unable to move for a long moment. Then I managed a smile. “No, I’m not surprised at all.”

Melissa immediately gasped, “They’re together? Victoria, is Jared cheating on you?”

I picked up my coffee cup and took a sip of it, saying quietly, “I don’t know. I haven’t seen any solid proof of him cheating yet, but judging by how flirty they were just now, they might really be together.”

“Victoria, I used to envy you not long ago, but now I don’t even know what to say,” Melissa said, looking at me with sympathy. “So, are you planning to just put up with this?

“Turn a blind eye and let them do whatever they want?”

“No, I’m going to get a divorce,” I said, lowering my eyes, my voice firm. “Once I have the evidence, I’ll file for divorce, take what’s rightfully mine, and live my single life.”

As a woman, Melissa understood just how awful it felt when one’s husband cheated. She nodded. “Okay, I support you. But what about your daughter? Can you really get a divorce and give her up?”

Thinking about Yvonne’s thoughts, I glanced out the window and gave a faint smile. “Melissa, to be honest, Yvonne actually likes the woman by his side.”

“What?” Melissa was shocked again. “Why isn’t she on your side? She should be standing shoulder–to–shoulder with you against all this.”

“I used to think so too,” I said with a bitter smile. “But you never really know what’s in someone’s heart. Sometimes, even your child might not truly stand with you.”

“Victoria, you’ve changed so much lately. It’s no wonder, with everything that’s happened,” Melissa sighed, her voice full of sympathy. “Your daughter is a part of you. How are you supposed to handle all these blows?”

“I’ll just go with the flow,” I said. I wasn’t going to force anything anymore. I was ready to accept whatever came my way. “Time heals all wounds. Someday, the pain in my heart will fade away.”

Her question stunned me. I opened my mouth, but I just couldn’t find the words to answer.

“No step in life is ever wasted,” I finally said with a smile. “I married Jared, and the youth I spent was his youth too.

Melissa looked completely stunned. She probably felt like I was a stranger to her now.
