When the Wind is Sweet: The Fairy Tale of Mr. and Mrs. Lancaster-Chapter 242: An Unbearable Marriage

Dylan Shaw angrily got out of bed. When the child started crying, he became even more furious! Plus, he had too much to drink last night, his head still hurt!

Rachel Sherman picked up the child and began to soothe her, "Baby, don’t cry, mommy’s here, mommy’s here..."

"Bang bang!"

Soon, the bedroom door was roughly knocked on!

The elderly parents outside heard the quarrel and came to help their son!

Dylan pushed the door and left, and the in-laws at the door started scolding Rachel again— 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Rachel! What’s wrong with you? Dylan is the backbone of this family and has worked so hard! Why are you arguing with him early in the morning?!"

"Rachel! You really don’t appreciate what you have!"

"You really have no conscience at all, Dylan drank so much at a business dinner last night and came back without even having dinner, and you’re arguing first thing in the morning! Don’t you know who he’s working so hard for?!"

Right, who is he doing it for?

Rachel found it ironic; it was likely for the other woman, wasn’t it?

But she didn’t want to argue or fight. Once her job was stable, she’d get a divorce immediately!

The in-laws, seeing she was unresponsive, argued a bit more and then went out to catch up with their son.

Rachel recalled what Dylan had just said, and after calming her daughter down, she hesitated for a long time and called Faye Turner.

Not long after, Faye answered, "Hello, Rachel."

"Faye, did something happen?" Rachel had her suspicions, "Why... suddenly fire Dylan?"

"The company is having layoffs recently, and Dylan’s performance was not outstanding." Faye lied, not wanting to reveal the truth and hurt her friend’s feelings.

Rachel thought for a moment, "Faye, this could be a good thing. If he’s out of a job, I’ll have a better chance of getting custody of the child. I’m planning on getting a divorce, do you support me?"

She could feel her friend’s inner sadness and struggle, "I support you."

Rachel’s resolve to get a divorce strengthened, "I will start gathering evidence of Dylan’s infidelity. If you know anything, please keep an eye out for me."

Upon hearing this, Faye flashed back to the images she saw in the mall, of Vivian Sawyer’s smiling face, and felt sad too.

Not wanting to hurt Rachel, she did not speak directly, "Alright."

"I’m still in the probation period at my new job, but things are going smoothly," Rachel told her, "Once I’m settled, I’ll leave this home with June."

"Rachel, I’ll arrange a place for you to stay, sell this house!" Faye encouraged her, "And then we’ll raise June together."

Rachel was very touched, "I want him to leave with nothing, but I need enough evidence."

They talked a while longer before hanging up.

Soon, an unfamiliar number called Rachel’s phone. She stared at the number for a moment, seeing it was a local number, so she answered, "Hello."

"Why can’t I get through to Dylan’s phone?" Vivian’s worry was tinged with accusation, "You didn’t confiscate his phone, did you? He doesn’t love you anymore, why are you holding onto him? What’s the point?"

Hearing this, Rachel was both angry and amused. The mistress was calling?

So, she turned on the recording and deliberately asked, "Who is this?"

"Can’t you tell who I am? Do I need to spell it out?" Vivian was also angry, "Let Dylan answer the phone! I have something to tell him!"

Suppressing her heartache, Rachel collected herself, and calmly asked, "Nowadays everyone wants a piece of Dylan; young lady, do you have any intimate photos? Prove your identity first."

Vivian was stunned; was there such a wife?

Rachel cunningly asked, "If you don’t have any, do you really think a few words can break us apart?"

"Who said I don’t!" Vivian firmly stated, "Dylan and I truly love each other; he said he would divorce, when will you leave? I tell you, it’s only a matter of time before you split!"

"When to leave, you should ask him, because that’s his promise to you." Rachel said, then hung up the phone.

Although she had been deeply hurt and had decided to cut her losses, when the mistress called to provoke her, Rachel’s heart still ached terribly.

Soon, a notification sounded on WeChat.

She regained her composure, opened her phone, and saw a woman had added her, with a message saying—

[Didn’t you want intimate photos? Accept it, and I’ll show you! To make you give up!]
