Rebirth Into My Second Chance

Kate's sobbing sounded in the living room, her voice breaking as she lamented, "It hurts so much," while Claude gently tried to soothe her.

Gabrielle stormed in right then, her anger boiling at the sight of Claude bringing Kate home. She lashed out, yanking me down the stairs as she declared, "In my lifetime, I'll only accept Claire as part of this family!" Claude said, "Mom, do you know how cruel Claire is? She pushed Kate down the stairs. How could someone like that ever be part of our family? If you're choosing her, I'm taking Kate and leaving."

I patted Gabrielle on the back, trying to calm her down. She was battling lung cancer and didn't have much time left, yet there she was, still worrying about me.

"Claude, let's not fight. We're family. I'll leave," Kate said, her face buried in her hands as she sobbed, attempting to flee.

"Shut up. You're not my family. In the Hart family, Claire is my only daughter-in-law." Gabrielle's response was fierce.

However, Claude grabbed Kate, who was trying to leave, and said, "The one who should leave isn't you, Kate. It's Claire. After all, her beloved Richard will get out of jail soon."

He gave me a scornful look.

Gabrielle turned around, her gaze filled with disbelief, but I thought, 'If there is a chance to escape this mess, maybe it is best to admit it.'

I said calmly, "Gabrielle, let me divorce Claude."

I finally voiced my decision, which surprised everyone, whose faces showed nothing but shock. A slight glimmer of relief appeared in Kate's eyes.
