Chapter 1060 Cheated On
Judith had considered divorce, but her family didn’t approve. There was a saying online that married women were no longer a part of their family. She used to think it
was nonsense, but now she believed it.
Regarding her issues with Jaxon Martinez, Judith had discussed them with her family before.
Judith’s father had replied, “Men work hard outside, so you should be more forgiving.
He is allowed to make mistakes.”
Her mother also added, “It’s not completely Jaxon’s fault. You should also put in the
effort to doll up.
“You have to learn to endure. Do you think your father didn’t do this back then to
keep the family’s status stable?”
Judith couldn’t believe her ears. She used to be a high–ranking executive at her
company, and she had a bright future ahead. She was her parents‘ darling before she
got married. Why had everything changed?
Judith didn’t understand before, but after she went back to her parent’s home earlier
in the morning, she understood everything. It was because Judith’s sister–in–law
didn’t like it when she came home.
It wasn’t just Judith facing this situation. Whenever Judith’s sister returned home from an archeological expedition and stayed for more than a week, she would be
probed about her plans for finding a boyfriend.
Judith’s parents even arranged blind dates for Judith’s sister, despite the man being ten years older than her.
Her sister–in–law would mention that it was a blessing to marry someone so wealthy.
She could be a lady without a worry in the world.
Judith knew why her parents didn’t want her to get divorced. The Martinez family
was in antiques dealing, and hence, they had connections with many wealthy
merchants in Kingbourne.
However, the Zachman family was ordinary. Hence, by marrying into the Martinez family, Judith’s brother would secure a household in Kingbourne. Judith still had to be grateful to Jaxon.
Judith looked at the message again and suppressed the disgust she felt. She was about to put her phone aside when Phoebe texted again, not planning to leave her
alone.
Another photo was sent. “He even took me to a nearby restaurant. Jane liked me, too. Look, don’t we look like a family eating together?”
The photo was taken last week on her birthday, a day no one remembered. She had prepared a few dishes, hoping they could have a meal together.
That day, Jaxon said he needed to work overtime and even posted on his social
media to apologize.
His colleagues and friends praised him as a good husband who still remembered to prepare flowers for his wife despite his busy schedule.
However, the reality was that she waited at home until dawn. The food on the table had gone cold.
The next day, Judith’s mother–in–law, Georgia Fletcher, returned with Janessa. She glanced at her and told her not to waste food when she was alone at home. No one was going to eat the food she cooked.
Judith didn’t understand why Janessa avoided her gaze that day. Now, she knew it
was because they were with another woman on her birthday.
Judith could no longer bear it. She picked up her phone and stormed toward the
living room.
Georgia was in the living room having a tea break, accompanied by two retired
teachers. “Your daughter–in–law is good. Mine can’t compare.”
Georgia waved her hand dismissively and sighed deeply. “The whole family depends
on Jaxon to support them.
“The child’s expenses are hundreds of thousands of dollars per year. And now, the overall economic situation isn’t ideal, so this puts a lot of pressure on Jaxon.”
One of the teachers put her teacup down. “If my memory serves, Judith used to be a senior executive. Let her find a new job.”
“She’s in her 40s. It would be difficult.” Georgia laughed. “Which company would
want a middle–aged mother? She is also pregnant now. My son is unwilling to let her
suffer.”
“Then you should be more considerate. We are all women.”
Georgia sneered. “Am I not considerate enough? I’m just a step away from pampering her.“
