＜My husband was arrested on October 3, 2049, and I left home with my eldest son. After that, I hired a lawyer to represent me and asked my husband for a divorce agreement until the middle of December of that year. However, her husband’s parents only tried to persuade her to stay away from the divorce, and the divorce talks did not proceed.

She also explained the cold relationship between the two after the incident.

＜My husband was kind to my son before the incident, but after he began to suspect that I was having an affair, he began to interfere with my efforts to take care of my son, instead of taking care of him. It seems that she lost her love for her first son. I’m sure she knows about the birth of her second son through other people or the internet news, but she hasn’t even contacted me.

After Mr. A’s arrest, she once decided to divorce him, but with the persuasion of others, she tried to repair the relationship. In her statement, she reveals her painful heart.

＜By mid-December, my husband was the father of our first son, and his parents asked me not to divorce him, so I decided to start over again. We used to meet about once every two weeks to discuss things, but after we decided to start over, we started meeting about three times a week.

We usually met at my husband’s restaurant for a few hours at a time, but we also took our eldest son to the park together a few times. Between mid-December of 2019, when I was seeing my husband frequently, and mid-January of the following year, I became pregnant with my second son. （Thus, even after I separated from my husband on October 3, 2019, I tried to start over at least once.

However, the relationship did not improve, and she decided to go to divorce mediation.
