There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

What was more, when Shania was speaking, David remained silent. In despair, Mrs. Brennan knew whom David supported. Distinctly, he did not stand by his parents' side.

Mrs. Brennan had a son! She had once believed that David was the best son in the world and he would definitely back her whatever happened between her and her daughter-in-law.

Mrs. Brennan had also been confident that she would have had overpowered her daughter-in-law and made the girl obedient. In her fantasy, she would have kicked the girl's ass, if she was not submissive.

Mrs. Brennan had dreamed of going to a big city and helping David look after his son all the time. However, what Shania said excluded her from their life, and thus, her dream fell.

Moreover, Shania's decision showed an undisguised dislike for her.
