Lydia lowered her gaze, avoiding eye contact.

Sighing deeply, Mrs. Perez didn't push any further, sensing Lydia's reluctance. But Mr. Perez was less patient.

"You both promised that once you were married, he would treat you well, and you'd have a good life together," Mr. Perez huffed in frustration. "How long has it been since the wedding? And now we're dealing with this mess."
