"It is so nice to finally meet you," Claudia's mother welcomed Natalie once more, smiling so wide her cheeks were practically aching from the action, not that the smile touched her eyes.
The least the woman wanted to do right now was entertain this slut of a woman that came up out of nowhere after years of abandoning her daughter. However, if the woman finds out that they sold off her daughter - even though it backfired on them - and a whole lot of other abuses, they would be staring at jail time real soon.
Hence, Claudia's mother had to abandon the shopping with her young date and returned home to solve this mess. It was not a secret, she was openly cheating on her husband now. Not that it should be called cheating since she has requested a divorce but her husband wouldn't grant it.
