My Husband's Betrayal My Brothers' Revenge (Rebekah) novel Chapter 47

Benjamin's face went cold. "Don't be ridiculous." He had never considered divorcing Rebekah.

Seeing his father's stern look, Shawn's lower lip trembled.

Benjamin sighed, realizing his tone had been too harsh. He knelt to face his son, his voice softening. "No matter what, she is still your mother. She can't dance or practice medicine anymore. If we divorce, how would she survive? What do you expect a disabled person like her to do?"

"But Dad, don't you like Aunt Candice?"

"Of course I do," Benjamin answered instantly. "But now is not the right time."

Rebekah stood on the landing, having heard their entire exchange. She had been on her way to the kitchen to prepare some soup for Old Mr. Forrester, but their conversation had stopped her in her tracks.

What a pair of hypocrites. Those two are utterly disgusting.

The sorrow in her heart curdled into revulsion. Fighting back a wave of nausea, she continued down the stairs.

When Benjamin saw her, his expression immediately turned cold. "You are Shawn's mother," he snapped, his brow furrowed. "You have a duty to care for him and fulfill your responsibilities. How dare you neglect your son's needs because of your own selfish whims? Do you even deserve to be a mother?"

While he might have tolerated her push for divorce, her mistreatment of their child crossed a hard line.

In all their years of marriage, he had never mistreated her. He had allowed her the easy life of Young Lady Forrester, asking only that she cook and raise their son. But his tolerance was not an invitation for her to be defiant.
