My heart, which was riddled with holes, shattered at this moment.
I covered my face and cried bitterly, but my thoughts couldn't help outlining the details of the past.
In the past, when my mom was ill, Mathew would prepare to answer the phone all day long.
If my mom kept nagging, Mathew would patiently talk with her.
But now, he didn't even know that something had happened to my mom for three days.
If I didn't go out, my mom wouldn't have to die.
I hated myself for trusting Mathew and leaving my mom behind on a business trip.
I found it extremely ironic.
In order to accompany his little lover's family, Mathew indirectly caused the death of my mom.
Since Mathew had put all his attention on his colleagues, it was useless for me to keep this marriage.
I was going to divorce Mathew, and I would definitely find the murderer.
After I hung up the phone, Mathew, who cared about his reputation, didn't go home for several days.
He even contemptuously thought that I couldn't live without him.
He thought that I would apologize to him humbly, comfort him as before.
But what awaited him was a signed divorce agreement.
Mathew sent me a long series of messages angrily, but I turned a blind eye to them at first.
Seeing that I hadn't replied to his messages, Mathew became anxious and began to bombard me day and night, questioning me about why I should divorce him.
"Emma, if you apologize to me now, I can forgive your unreasonable behavior."
I replied, "If you apologize to me now, sign the divorce agreement as soon as possible."
Mathew refused. "Emma, does your mom know what you're doing?"
"Ask your mom if she allows you to divorce. I'm telling you, if you leave, you won't be able to find a better one than me. Who would want to keep your mom every day."
I blocked him.
At the same time, I hired a private detective to assist me in the investigation of my mom's death.
We often traveled side by side around the community. The neighbors who knew that my mom passed away said that I was sensible and filial, so they comforted me.
However, if he didn't do it on purpose, someone would make use of it to make a fuss.
Seeing that Mathew refused to divorce me, Emily began to be in a panic.
Emily covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised, which aroused Mathew's curiosity.
The more curious Mathew was, the more Emily pretended to be reluctant.
