My mother–in–law and I filed for divorce to… 1/5
Chapter 1
On the seventh wedding anniversary, my husband’s unrelated aunt posted a group photo and her pregnancy test report on Instagram with the caption: [Thank you for being by my side and giving me a child.]
Looking at the two men in the photo, Kayla Moore, my mother–in–law, and I, Brenda Taylor, looked at each other.
Those two men in the group photo were my husband, Sean Nelson, and my father–in–law, Frank Nelson.
In the photo, three hands overlapped and touched the slightly swollen belly. This scene looked particularly warm.
Kayla and I liked the post without any mood swings.
The next second, our phones rang at the same time. We answered the calls.
“What do you want? You can’t get pregnant. Are you jealous of my aunt? How could you be so mean?”
“I just treat her as my sister. Why are you still so jealous at such an old age?”
Sean and Frank scolded us with disgust.
Kayla and I hung up the phone in tacit understanding and then

took off our rings.

But later, Sean and Frank all regretted it and even threatened to commit suicide to beg our forgiveness.
Sean cried, “Don’t leave me. I have always loved you. Please. I can’t live without you.”
Ever since Sean’s aunt, Angela Nelson, got pregnant, Sean and
Frank had not come back home.
Surprisingly, all of them were at home today.
“Brenda, don’t make a fuss, okay? Angela is my aunt, and her child is my family’s,” Sean frowned and looked at me impatiently.
Then, he looked at the opened suitcase. “Why are you jealous of Angela?” His tone became more and more impatient.
“I’m not jealous. You’re overthinking it,” I said without looking up at Sean.
“You’re not jealous? Every time we have a fight, you start
packing as if you are going to leave. Do you think I don’t know what you are thinking? You have no friends or relatives. Where can you go?” Sean seemed to have a sneer as he spoke.
I was shocked, staring at Sean in disbelief.

I was an orphan. My parents died in an accident when I was very young, leaving me a large inheritance.

My relatives fought for my custody rights to get the inheritance.
However, they started abusing me after getting what they wanted.
In the darkest hour, Sean came into my life like a ray of light.
I had thought he could give me a home and warmth, but later, I found out that he caused all the hardships I had encountered after we had been together.
Sean had been my salvation in my youth, and now, he was the cause of my distress.
Every time Sean quarreled with me was because of Angela.
And when I packed, Sean would only look at me coldly.
Sean said indifferently, “Whatever. Just go.”
He even wanted to divorce me for Angela.
“That’s my luggage,” Kayla suddenly said.
Sean sighed, “Mom, what’s wrong with you? Brenda is jealous. You are getting old. How could you be so naive like her?”
Frank stood aside, echoing, “Kayla, we’ve been a couple for so many years. Don’t you know that I’ve always treated Angela as

my sister? Why are you as jealous as young girls?” He blamed me and Kayla and thought we were stirring up trouble.
Kayla and I looked at the two men in front of us with disappointment,
We had lived together for years, but we didn’t expect them to comment on us with such mean words.
Kayla couldn’t help but sneer, “Your sister? Have you forgotten that Angela is just an adopted daughter of the Nelson family? She is a single older woman. How did she get pregnant? Who is the father of her child?”
Kayla looked at Sean with disappointment.
Sean and Frank were left speechless by Kayla’s questions, looking at her in shock.
Kayla was a gentle person. She had been a couple with Frank fort more than 30 years, but she had never said to him in such a cold and sharp tone.
I had always been obedient to Sean.
Sean and Frank didn’t know how to reply. They stood there inf silence for a long while.
Sean wanted to take my hand to ease the tense atmosphere, but I shook his hand off.
Sean was shocked again, looking a little sullen.

He said in a commanding voice, “Stop that now, Brenda. You’ve misled my mom.”
Frank sat on the sofa, ordering Kayla as usual. “Is the coffee ready? You’re not young, but you’re still jealous. I really don’t understand why you have to turn against Angela for so many
years.”
Kayla did not bring Frank the coffee she had prepared in advance as she did in the past.
“Whatever. I’m not a servant,” Kayla said and then went to her
room.
