She pinched the bridge of her nose and stopped her mother from continuing.Â
She really couldn’t bear to hear any more about how wonderful her parents’ relationship was.Â
She was afraid she wouldn’t be able to hold back and would blurt out everything all at once.Â
Claudine let out a long breath, ran her fingers through her hair, pulling it back in an attempt to calm herself down.Â
She needed to think about how to make her mother realize that neither her own marriage nor her mother’s was as per- fect as she believed.Â
“Mom, I understand everything you just said.Â
But in marriage, there are some things that can’t be tolerated. For example…”Â
Claudine looked at her mother, testing her reaction.Â
“For example, infidelity.”Â
Bridgette didn’t pick up on Claudine’s hint at all.Â
She even thought her daughter was making a mountain out of a molehill.Â
“Claudy!”Â
Bridgette suddenly raised her voice.Â
“I know you care a lot about that ‘Ms. Lavigne’, but before you have any real evidence, you can’t just make decisionsÂ
like this.Â
After all, ‘Ms. Lavigne’ is Darla’s mother, and with a child involved, Dami can’t just cut off contact with her.Â
“I have to criticize you for this!Â
You knew about this situation when you married Dami, so how can you want a divorce because of it now!Â
And talking about ‘infidelity’!Â
Saying things like that really hurts the relationship!”Â
Seeing her daughter’s expression change, she realized her tone had been too harsh.Â
Bridgette softened her voice.Â
“Claudy, think about it. Just yesterday you told me you used to like Dami. Are you really going to divorce him over something so trivial?”Â

Claudine looked at her mother and felt utterly exhausted.Â
She thought that after Audrey came to their door, her mother would understand that her marriage with Damian had long since become a mess.Â
Unexpectedly, her mother thought these were just minor issues.Â
At this moment, Claudine began to regret letting her mother live in an ivory tower for so long, making her so naiveÂ
even now.Â
She steeled herself and decided to tell her mother everything about Damian.Â
“Mom, a lot of things aren’t as you see them.Â
“I did say I used to like Damian, but think about it: I willingly married him back then, and now I’ve made up my mind. to divorce him. If these past five years had really been good for me, would I be asking for a divorce now?”Â
Bridgette fell silent…Â
As a mother, how could she not sense whether her daughter was happy or not!Â
She just…Â
She just didn’t want her daughter to get divorced.Â
She simply felt that a divorced woman was a failure.Â
She didn’t want her daughter to become that kind of woman.Â
Claudine took a tissue and wiped her mother’s tears.Â
Bridgette, feeling sorry for her daughter, patted her hand.Â
“Claudy, I just want you to be happy!Â
“I also hope you can give yourself and Dami another chance.Â
“From what I’ve seen, Dami’s attitude toward his ex-wife is very cold. You two…”Â
“Mom!”Â
Claudine interrupted her mother again.Â
“Audrey is just the trigger. The real reason is Damian!Â
He has never loved me!”Â
When Claudine said this, she felt an unusual calm inside.Â
It turned out she had already accepted this fact in her heart.Â
Bridgette was shocked.Â

She had always thought Damian was just cold on the surface, and that even if her daughter’s marriage wasn’t as sweet as her own, at least it was passable.Â
But now, her daughter said Damian had never loved her!Â
“Claudy…”Â
She gently touched her daughter’s face, feeling heartbroken.Â
Her daughter, whom she had cherished for so many years, how could she not receive her husband’s love!Â
Claudine gave her mother a reassuring smile.Â
“Mom, I’m fine now.Â
“I just want you to know that even if I get divorced, I can still live well, maybe even better than before.Â
“Do you know? I’m now Professor Hutchinson’s student, and I plan to return to the auction house and continue my previous work.”Â
Talking about her plans, Claudine’s fatigue vanished, her eyes sparkled, and she even looked a little excited.Â
“Mom, I’m going to become the best auctioneer. Will you be proud of me like you used to?”Â
She looked at her mother expectantly.Â
She hoped to gain her mother’s support.Â
She wanted to become her mother’s role model, to show her that even after divorce, she could rely on herself and live better, maybe even better than before.Â
She wanted to tell her mother that she could do it too.Â
At that moment, Damian was standing just outside the door.Â
After seeing Audrey off, he wanted to talk to Claudine, but accidentally overheard her conversation with her mother.Â
