"You are all about keeping up appearances. Do you even care to know how much I'm suffering right now?" Olivia asked, her tone dripping with disbelief.
Even though she didn't expect her mother to fully support her decision to get a divorce she at least wanted some kind of comfort from her but instead, she got something worse.
What kind of mother tells her daughter to stay in a relationship she is not happy in for the sake of appearances?
"Do you think I'm oblivious to it?" Stella retorted. "I know everything, it just..."
"No, you don't know anything mother!" Olivia declared angrily, her eyes shimmering with tears. "I don't care about what you say, I'm going to divorce Owen. And by the way, do you even know what he said to me?"
Stella looked her in the eyes and said, "What new statement did he make that no other person has heard before?"
