Chapter 57 The Truth

• “Why are you only coming home now, Bert? Why don’t you come back at night anymore? Where the hell do you go, huh?!” Shane snapped at Bert early that morning.
• He hadn’t come home again the night before. And it wasn’t just last night—he barely ever came home these days. And when he did, he reeked of alcohol.
• Shane nearly gagged when Bert brushed past her to enter the house. Even though she was already due to give birth, she still couldn’t handle the smell of alcohol coming from him. She quickly covered her nose and mouth. Bert, on the other hand, acted as if he didn’t hear anything and walked straight into the living room. On his way in, he crossed paths with his mother, Lucia, who was coming down the stairs.
