Seeing his mother rubbing her temples on the sofa, Brian's heart sank with sadness.

He loosened a button on his shirt and sat beside her, taking her hand, ready for a heartfelt discussion.

“Mom, I know you mean well. You want me to be happy, right?"

Noemi clasped his hand in return. "Son, I was just trying to rectify my past mistakes. I did everything for your best interest."

Brian nodded and said, “I get that. But you should know that being with Rosalynn makes me happy. If you truly want to make amends, please live your life and stay out of my marriage, okay?"
