If she had not managed to save herself back then and Gabriel had refused to divorce, would she have ended up like this, too?Just then, she noticed that Jaxon and Joshua had been peeking at her. Then her clenched fists released, leaving some nail marks on her palms.Hazel smiled at them and spoke in her usual gentle tone, “Why are you looking at me like that?” She opened her arms and said, “Come here. Give Mommy a big hug.”Jaxon and Joshua’s sensitive and tense nerves were calmed by her smile, and then they obediently walkedup to her.Hazel held her two sons and kissed their cheeks, comforting them, “The past is already past.”.Brian, who was brought back by the police, was dumbfounded after hearing his mother’s word In fact, he had no recollection of the things she said to him, let alone the harm he had once caused her.He didn’t expect his mother to treat him like this.

However, Jaxon and Joshua were unwilling to go with him.It was still Hazel who comforted them."Tomorrow is Monday, and you still have to go to school.

After coming out, she used 15% of her divorce compensation and hired William to take care of her divorce case.She voluntarily gave up Brian's custody, but the lawsuit still did not go smoothly because Shelby was unwilling to divorce.Listening to the man repeatedly saying that he was just playing around outside, trying to relieve some work pressure, and had no intention of letting those women in, Audrey felt even more disgusted.She sent all the evidence she had collected over the years to her lawyer, and to her surprise, Shelby had cheated on nineteen women.But in the end, Audrey did successfully get divorced.Perhaps it was because she finally let go that Shelby began to have a tendency to awaken.
