I was about to say something when I heard the voice of the young girl on Harris's side.
She was acting coquettishly, asking him when he would finish the call.
If she exceeded her reservation time for the Black Pearl Restaurant tonight, she would be very angry.
Upon hearing this, I hung up the phone directly.
No matter how many times Harris called back, I couldn't be bothered to answer.
A day later, Harris's parents suddenly invited me, Harris, and momo to their place for a family dinner.
We rarely had contact with each other, so it was highly likely that Harris had informed them about our impending divorce.
I thought, after all, they were still elders, so there was no harm in going.
I wanted to confront Harris face to face and come to a resolution.
Harris's parents lived in the extravagant villa Harris had bought for them.
They ignored our punctual arrival with me and momo, as if they didn't see us at all.
It wasn't until they saw Harris arrive late with another woman that they smiled and ordered the servants to serve the food.
It was at this moment that I noticed there was an extra person at this so-called family dinner.
"Can I call you Sarah? Do you like eating spiced salt-flavored spare steaks, Sarah? Let me serve you."
The girl in front of me, who was unusually enthusiastic, was the same young college girl who had gone to Disneyland with Harris.
Her name was Jenifer. Seeing her and Harris's parents happily calling each other godfather and godmother, enjoying the warm atmosphere as a family, I felt disgusted. I put down my chopsticks and picked up my oblivious daughter, ready to leave.
Harris called out to me in a cold voice when he saw the look of frustration on Jenifer's face.
"Sarah, have you caused enough trouble? Look, she's my parents' adopted daughter. It's not as dirty as you think between her and me. Can't you understand and stop constantly overthinking?"
His words made me laugh out of anger.
"Adopted daughter? Are you and your family taking me for a fool or are you really stupid enough to believe the fabricated nonsense you've come up with?"
Harris's mother impatiently clicked her tongue and scornfully mocked me.
