Zev’s cold gaze locked onto Eric as he leaned against the doorframe, lazily looking outside. “Come on, everyone, take a look. There’s someone here who’s eager to claim her own son being cheated on”
The onlookers who gathered around turned their attention to Eric.
Zev’s words were sharp, and few could stand up to his biting tongue.
“Am I a ghost, lady?” Melody stormed to the door, glaring at the curious onlookers. “Come and see; there’s a mother–in–law here who’s desperate to embarrass her son in front of everyone.”
Dawn’s face turned dark with anger as she noticed someone else was around.
“Hey, cuckold guy? Do you have a problem?” Zev asked, holding a stirring spoon, his eyes fixed on Eric.
Eric, a man who cared deeply about his pride, was the exact type of person Zev knew how to deal with.
Rubbing his brow in frustration, Eric grabbed his mother’s arm. “Mom, you should leave.”
“You want me to leave? Why should I? I’m just here to see what she’s up to with these people. These people are clearly bad.” Dawn continued to shout; she wouldn’t rest until she caught Kelly in some act of betrayal.
Kelly sat on the couch, sighing.
It was truly pitiful.
“Kelly, is he living here with you?” Eric asked cautiously.
“I live across the street, neighbor, understand?” Zev pointed toward the door across the way, greeting the neighbor outside. “Hey, I just moved in. If you need anything, feel free to come by.”
The neighbor smiled brightly; she had a good impression of Zev. “Young man, you’re so lovely. So tall and sturdy.”
Zev had a way of being charming when he wanted to be, but generally, he wasn’t one to talk much. He came off as cold and intimidating.
Kelly gestured for Eric and his mother to come inside.
“Kelly, my mom said she would like to take care of you,” Eric said, looking at Kelly, as he reached out to grab her wrist. “You’re alone, and I’m worried about you.”
Kelly quickly pulled her wrist back in a calm but firm gesture and signed with her hands. “No need.”
“Stop with the signs. I can’t understand. Use the board to write it down,” Dawn snapped, pointing at the whiteboard on the coffee table.
Kelly ignored Dawn. Who was she to give orders like that?
“Lady, you’re ridiculous. Who do you think you are, bossing people around like this?” Melody stepped in, standing up for Kelly.

Zev. “You’d better leave. You’re not welcome here.”

Zev’s fierce look and powerful presence unnerved Dawn, and as she spoke, she instinctively stepped behind Eric for protection.
Eric furrowed his brows but said nothing, almost as if he had silently agreed with his mother.
Kelly turned, grabbed the whiteboard, and wrote, “Eric, either pay me back or get lost.”
Eric’s pride was slightly wounded. “Kelly, we’re still married. Can’t we sit down and talk this through? I’ve already dissolved my marriage with Regina. What more do you want?”
“Stop making it sound like my son is the only one at fault. He’s innocent,” Dawn spat angrily.
“Get lost!” Kelly wrote, her finger pointing toward the door, directing Dawn out.
Eric frowned and said, “Kelly, she’s your elder. Who are you talking to? You can insult me, but not my mother.”
Kelly lowered her hand powerlessly, closing her eyes slowly.
The man she had once loved only existed in her dreams. He was a specter of the past.
“You can leave too.” Kelly wiped away the words from the board, making it clear she wanted them both gone.
Eric took a deep breath. Kelly could see he was upset.
He rarely showed his emotions, always keeping his feelings in check. Eric was adept at hiding his anger; even though he was clearly angry, he suppressed it and said quietly, “Kelly, if we keep this up, there may truly be no turning back.”
He was talking about their relationship. If they continued this way, there would be no room for reconciliation.
Kelly chuckled and looked up at him.
Did he really believe they still had a chance?
“Kelly, we’ve been together for five years, since freshman year, all the way to getting our marriage certificate,” Eric’s voice was rough, full of regret.
“The food’s getting cold. Let’s eat,” Zev said sharply from the dining table, clearly irritated. He hated hearing about Eric and Kelly’s past together.
It made him feel like being a latecomer; he would always fall short compared to Eric.
Kelly started to walk toward Zev, but Eric pulled her back. “Kelly, can we talk? Just the two of us? We need to get closure.”
Kelly froze. Maybe–just maybe–they did need closure.
“Let’s eat first,” Zev spoke softly.

More than that, he feared Kelly being swayed by Eric’s so–called love,

In the five years they had known each other, Zev had never dared to touch Kelly, Zev refused to act on his feelings, even when drugged.
Zev knew that if he violated Kelly, there would be no chance left for them.
He had patiently waited for the day when Kelly and Eric would finally get divorced.
His anxiety was rooted in insecurity.
Only the favored person in a relationship is fearless. And it was clear to Zev–he was never the one favored by Kelly.
He would always be the one she cast aside without hesitation.
