Meanwhile, he was telling me that he wanted to buy a house outside the city, where we could spend our weekends and eventually grow old together.
We had been saving money for that house.
Every single month.
And while I browsed property listings and imagined a beautiful porch with a large dining table, my husband was planning the future of his child with another woman.
«Why did you come here today?» I asked Marina.
She remained silent for a moment.
«Because yesterday he told me that you had personally asked him to invite me. He said you’d already discussed everything and decided to maintain a good relationship for the children’s sake.»
I gave a bitter, disbelieving laugh.
Andrew stood beside us, staring at the floor.
«I wanted to believe him,» Marina continued. «But when I walked in and saw the way he hugged you, I realized he was still lying to both of us.»
