A few dayster,
“Have you received the divorce decree from the court yet?” Sean asked as they sat leisurely in the backyard garden.
Reba winced. “I’ve cut off allmunication, but since it hasn’t even been a month, I’m sure the decree hasn’t been issued yet,” she replied, uncertain. Talking about her divorce from Harvey always made her joints ache as if her body despised the divorce itself.
Sean nodded. “You’re right. Haven’t you seen thetest gossip news?” he asked cautiously.
“Gossip news?” Reba frowned. “I haven’t checked my phone or watched the news since I got here. Is there something I should know?” she asked, trying to hide her
nervousness.
“Um, maybe you should see for yourself.” Sean pulled his phone from his pocket, scrolled for a moment, and then handed it to Reba.
‘Harvey Specter and Alicia Fox were caught on camera picking out wedding rings<b>, </b>even though our sources say the court hasn’t finalized Harvey’s divorce from his soon–to–be, ex–wife, Reba Harper. Click the link below for details.
Reba felt a turmoil in her stomach. She didn’t say anything and just handed Sean’s phone back to him. But in her mind, she was busy processing everything. If Harvey left her just because of Victoria, it didn’t make sense for him to do all this with Alicia. Everything felt even more illogical.
“Becky, are you okay?” Sean asked, noticing the change in Reba’s expression.
“Yeah, I suspected this would happen,” she responded, then turned her face towards Lily, who was sleeping in the portable baby box Ang had bought a few days ago. Seeing Lily’s face made her feel guilty for being so selfish as to bring an innocent baby into the world when she couldn’t give her perfect happiness.
“Don’t hold back, you can cry or curse or whatever you need to do. Consider me your friend, so don’t hesitate to show your emotions<b>. </b><b>I </b>know how it feels to be left behind; it’s suffocating…”

Reba was touched by Sean’s words. She took a deep breath, covered her face with her hands, and started sobbing. Suddenly, Lily also began crying loudly, as if sensing what her mother was feeling.
“Don’t worry, I got her!” Sean eximed, leaping towards Lily and picking her up in his arms. “You know what? Take your time, I’ll take her to your room,” he said. He quickly went into the house before Reba could say anything.
Reba watched Sean’s back while wiping her tears, She still remembered how excited Harvey had been when he learned she was pregnant; he even cried when Lily was born. How could everything end like this<b>? </b>
“Becky, is everything okay?”
Suddenly, Ang appeared from the door, looking at Reba with surprise. Rebal quickly wiped her tears and cleared her throat softly. “Yeah, you’re home already,” she replied, forcing a smile.
“Yeah, but I’ll be going back to Charles’s house this evening. They’re having a small party,” Ang replied, then sat next to Reba. “Did you have a fight with Sean? Did he hurt you?” she asked anxiously.
Reba shook her head, smiling faintly. “No, Sean and I are fine. It’s just me and my problems,” she replied carefully. At least Ang thought her rtionship with Sean was real, so she felt she had to protect her feelings because what mother would want her son to be hurt? N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.
Ang gently stroked Reba’s back. “Is this about your ex–husband?” she asked, looking at Reba with understanding
Reba swallowed hard. She could lie, but she unconsciously nodded. “I’m sorry, Ang, I know I shouldn’t-”
“Becky, it’s fine. I know you need a long time to heal your wounds, and it’s all made worse because you haven’t gotten the resolution you want. You still suspect your divorce happened because of your mother–inw, but seeing how casually Harvey was ring–shopping with Alicia makes that reason invalid, right? Sorry, Lalso saw the news,” Ang said softly.
Reba felt a pit in her stomach and her joints ached. Ang’s words sounded so true that they were painfully hurtful.

“Don’t you believe <b>I </b>can do that and prevent you and Lily from ending up like Maggie and Bea? Is <b>that </b>why you’re choosing to wear a mask?” Sean ranted, his face
disappointed.
Reba frowned in confusion. “Sean, what’s wrong with you? Alright, I’ll take it off,” she said, removing the mask from her face.
“Sorry, I crossed the line,” Sean said, rubbing his face with his hand.
Reba swallowed hard, then nodded. “It’s okay.”
Theynded at JFK an hour and twenty minutester. Reba swallowed nervously as she was about to step out of the ne. Honestly, she was scared that the news of their return to New York would reach Victoria’s cars. She could imagine how Victoria would perceive their return as a threat.
“Becky, you can wear your mask again. I’m sorry about earlier. I just ”
“It’s okay, Sean. Ipletely understand, and you’re right; I shouldn’t hide my face,” Reba replied, though she wasn’t sure.
“I’ve rented a condo on W Street, Manhattan. We can stay there for a while, or we can settle there if you like it,” Sean murmured, sounding more rxed, which relieved Reba.
Some girls nced at Reba and whispered as if they could recognize her, but Reba continued walking with her back straight. She didn’t want to appear like a miserable woman, especially after the news about Harvey and Alicia resurfaced.
As they waited for the car Sean had rented to pick them up, she suddenly bumped into a familiar face.
“Becky?”
“Oh my God, Cathy?”
