Claudia glanced at York, who was standing beside her. "You can leave," she said.
York pointed at himself, dumbfounded. "Me?"
Wendy shot him a glare. "Get out."
York's face darkened as he turned and left the room.
"Mom, you should divorce him along with me."
York had just started to walk away when he heard Claudia's bombshell statement.
He spun around and headed back, but just as he reached the doorway, Claudia stood up and shut the door in his face.
More than half an hour later, Claudia and Wendy emerged from the room.
York carefully studied their expressions.
"If you're not staying for dinner, you should head home and get some rest," Wendy said to Claudia. "Take care of yourself."
York held an umbrella over Claudia as he walked her out. "The rain is pretty heavy. I can drive you home."
Claudia didn't answer, walking directly toward her own car. York had no choice but to follow, keeping the umbrella over her.
He grabbed her hand just as she was about to open the car door.
"Claudia," he said, "let's find a place to talk."
She glanced around at the rainy courtyard and stopped. "If you have something to say, say it now."
They looked at each other, and York couldn't help but frown.
"Claudia, what kind of daughter-in-law encourages her mother-in-law to get a divorce? Do you think that's appropriate?"
"Your father doesn't treat your mother well, so what's wrong with me advising her to leave him? It's not like I encouraged her to cheat on him," she retorted.
York lowered his voice. "My parents have been fighting for half their lives. It's just how they are. They're not going to get a divorce."
