On the screen, Noemiâs face underwent a series of transformations.
Embracing this reality proved to be an arduous task for her.
âAre you saying that you procured a fraudulent divorce certificate to deceive me?â
âYes.
â
Brian admitted, âDuring that tumultuous period, your emotional state was precarious.
Deanna harbored concerns that you might take drastic measures, prompting her to enlist me in obtaining a counterfeit divorce certificate to offer you some solace.
â
Fixing her gaze upon Brian, Noemi spoke after a thoughtful pause, âYou truly are my devoted family.
â
Her tone bore a subtle blend of derision and subdued ire.
Evidently, she was not happy over Brianâs deception.
Gail knit her brows, attempting to mediate the situation.
âNoemi, Rosa divulged the entire truth to me.
I acknowledge the impropriety of her past actions.
I implored her to extend an apology to you.
Could you find it in your heart to forgive her for my sake?â
Despite the culpability of both parties, Noemi, being the mother-in- law of Rosalynn, should opt to concede first, prioritizing future familial concord.
Noemi regarded her with a forced smile.
âGail, she is your daughter.
Naturally, I canât create a scene with her.
â
She asserted she couldnât, not that she wouldnât.
This signified her reluctance to relinquish the grudge, even though Gail was her confidante.
She still had resentment lingering for Rosalynn.
Gail, comprehending Noemiâs unspoken sentiments, refrained from pressuring her further.
âNoemi, with my daughterâs return, I plan to host a celebration.
Iâd like to consult with you.
When would you consider it fitting?â
Regardless, Noemi held the title of her daughterâs mother-in-law.
Even if Noemi still had a grudge against her daughter, Gail intended to extend the respect due.
âItâs at your discretion.
Just inform me once youâve reached a decision.
â
Noemiâs demeanor carried a hint of indifference and Gail sought to avoid further embarrassment.
âVery well, we can discuss it later.
â
âOkay.
â
