CHAPTER 738: 734, LET’S TALK.

,

"Felix, how can you not believe in mom! I saw your dad!" Melody Zachary grabbed her son’s arm, but suddenly stopped speaking, looking at her son’s lips that quivered several times, then sighed and turned her face away.

"What did you see," Felix Shaw feigned a relaxed demeanor, raising his hand to gently pat the back of his mother’s hand, while his heart was already churning.

Melody Zachary hesitated for a moment, then looked back at her son as if she had made up her mind, grabbing his arm with her other hand, her face full of grievance.

"Felix, at this point, mom can’t care about losing face anymore, that night..."

Melody Zachary, while shedding tears, told her son about the "evidence" she had found. Ever since Mrs. Zhang said doing more could make a woman look younger, Melody had subtly asked her husband at night for intimacy, but several times Oliver Shaw had brushed her off, saying he was too tired. Last night, not giving up, Melody reached her hand into her husband’s pajamas.

At that time, Oliver Shaw was lying with his back to her. Melody’s hand reached into his back slowly caressing, trying to arouse her husband, but unexpectedly, she felt multiple scratch marks on his back, seemingly left by a woman’s nails.

At that moment, Melody became suspicious, turned on the bedside lamp to check, but Oliver Shaw brushed it off, pulled her into his arms, and turned off the light...

With thoughts weighing on her, Melody didn’t sleep much all night. She woke up early in the morning, and while her husband was still deeply asleep, she quietly lifted up his pajamas.

On Oliver Shaw’s back, there were clear scratch marks, both new and old, indicating they weren’t made at one time.

Thinking about how her husband had been neglecting her in recent years, always saying he was too old and lacked the strength, Melody believed it!

But if he lacked the strength, where did these scratch marks on his back come from! Thinking about this filled Melody with grievance.

Having moved far to the north to marry, in earlier years because Oliver Shaw stuck to her, he hardly let her visit her hometown, nearly severing her ties with her relatives over the years. But who would have thought that her husband, whom she revered, would cheat.

After listening to his mother’s story, Felix Shaw’s handsome face also turned serious, "Mom, are you sure you saw correctly?"

"Felix, mom has experience, how could I be wrong!" Melody cried with grievance, wiping her tears with a tissue, crying as she spoke, "What should mom do? Your dad is keeping a woman on the side..."

"Mom, don’t be sad, you still have me. If dad really is keeping another woman, and you don’t want to be with him anymore, your son will take care of you," Felix Shaw comforted his mother, pulling her close and gently patting her back, but Melody cried even more sadly, "Felix, I’m used to serving your dad, I don’t want to divorce him..."

Half a lifetime of marriage, especially for a full-time housewife like Melody, who regarded her family and husband as her everything. But when she discovered that her everything no longer belonged to her, it truly felt like the sky was falling.

Facing his mother’s sobs, Felix Shaw could only comfort her silently. His father’s betrayal of his mother felt like a betrayal to him too, but with everything still uncertain, he didn’t know how to console his mother.

However, he had already made a decision in his heart. No matter whether his father was serious or just playing around, he had to restrain him promptly, to prevent the situation from worsening, and he didn’t want his mother to continue to be sad.

That evening, after dinner, Felix Shaw invited his father to the study.

Father and son each sat down on a sofa. Felix Shaw took out a cigarette pack, offered one to his father, and then lit one for himself.

After taking a drag, Felix Shaw said, "Dad, right now, I’m not your son, but as a man, let’s talk."
