"Did you hear that?" Ms. Henderson asked, looking up at her.
Adele took a deep breath and said softly, "Mom, I still think that I should say whatever I want to say. If I keep it from him, maybe he is also hiding something from me. It would be boring if everyone keeps a secret."
"I'm just afraid that you will be intimidated!" Ms. Henderson sighed.
She had not been married for a long time, but she was still a divorced woman.
"Mom, don't worry. I won't be like before." Adele smiled at her.
She wouldn't be as stupid as she had been before when she couldn't see through the fact that she was being used.
"Ah, forget it. It's about time. You should go."
Ms. Henderson didn't want to talk about the past anymore. She picked up her handbag and stuffed it into her hands.
Adele glanced at the time, smiled, and walked out of the house.
