"Single?" Mrs. Brebeca exclaimed excitedly.
 
Jack nodded and continued, "I won't hide it from you, I broke up with my girlfriend six months ago."
 
At this point, Jack intentionally glanced briefly at Emma.
 
Seizing the opportunity, Mrs. Brebeca said, "Or maybe I can introduce a new girlfriend to you?"
 
"Ha ha, okay!" Jack laughed and responded.
At this moment, Emma suddenly spoke up, "Mom, Jack is so outstanding that he doesn't need you to introduce a girlfriend to him."
 
Emma stared at Mrs. Brebeca with a dissatisfied expression. 
 
"Even though I'm outstanding, it's useless because the person I like is already married." Jack sighed, then he glanced at Emma with an affectionate look in his eyes.
 
He hadn't explicitly stated that the person he liked was Emma.
 
Mrs. Brebeca seemed to understand something from this. After all, she was a person who had experienced enough to read people's thoughts from their facial expressions.
 
Emma sensed Jack's passionate gaze and realized that he still loved her. She felt happy, but suddenly noticed me looking at her and cleared her throat softly.
 
Even if she intended to reconcile with Jack in her heart, she couldn't show it in front of me.
 
Regardless of the situation, I was still her husband legally.
 
And I also had already noticed that Jack had inappropriate thoughts about Emma. Otherwise, he wouldn't have continued to oppose me like this.
 
"Nowadays, it's the era of freedom in relationships. Even if she's married, you can still seize the opportunity to approach her. Who knows, the other girl may not even like her current husband," Mrs. Brebeca spoke again.
 
As she talked, she glanced briefly at Jack, then at Emma.
 
When Jack heard Mrs. Brebeca's words, he felt somewhat unintended, but after careful consideration, he sensed a hidden meaning in her words.
 
As for me, after hearing Mrs. Brebeca's words, I felt extremely nauseated by her distorted mindset.
 
Although I had known for a long time that Mrs. Brebeca was a greedy and selfish person, I couldn't have imagined that she would encourage Jack to destroy someone else's marriage.
 
"You have a point!" Jack smirked and replied, "I will listen to you and seize the opportunity to win back the girl I love!"
 
"Yes, you must make an effort to claim your love!" Mrs. Brebeca lamented that she couldn't directly ask Jack to woo Emma and then marry her.
 
Seeing them like that, a look of disdain immediately appeared on my face. Indeed, birds of a feather flock together.
 
"Hmph!" I couldn't help but sneer with contempt.
 
"What's that 'hmph' for?" Mrs. Brebeca immediately became dissatisfied, glared at me, and asked.
 
"Your words make me sick!" I said contemptuously. "Jack, you're a doctoral student at a prestigious university, so why does your speech reek like that?"
 
Jack's expression immediately changed, he was about to angrily retort to me when Mrs. Brebeca seized the opportunity to point directly at me and scolded: "Andrew, you have no right to sit here and talk to us. Go back to your room!"
 
I was unaffected by her scolding and remained seated. Mrs. Brebeca called for me to leave, but I refused to go. I no longer needed to win Mrs. Brebeca's favor anymore.
 
Jack, seeing me like that, laughed and said, "Emma, your husband is an unemployed and powerless man. Why did you marry him? You used to be the high school belle, you could have chosen someone much better than him a hundred times over."
 
Jack continued to belittle my abilities.
 
"You're wrong, I didn't marry him, but rather he became a son-in-law in my family." Emma hurriedly explained without much thought.
 
"That's right, he became a son-in-law to our family!" Mrs. Brebeca added to Emma's words.
 
"Are you telling me Mr. Edwards is clinging to the Thompson family?" Jack expressed surprise upon hearing the words of Emma and her mother.
 
"Of course! If he didn't become a son-in-law to my family, how could I have married him?" Emma quickly responded.
 
Jack continued to squint and asked, "Based on your beauty and wealthy background, you can still find a better man to become a son-in-law to your family."
 
"This matter is a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly to you right now," Emma explained.
 
The two of them completely treated me as if I were invisible.
 
At that moment, Jack suddenly asked, "Do you love him?"
 
"I..." Emma hesitated, looking briefly at Jack, then at me.
 
"Whether my wife loves me or not is none of your business!" I coldly stated, "Just know that Emma's husband is me, not you!"
 
"You are Emma's husband, so what? You can't bring happiness to Emma. Based on Emma's education and background, she deserves a talented and outstanding husband like me!" Jack stopped pretending and directly expressed his thoughts.
 
"But in reality, Emma has already married me, and if you want to compete for her with me, it's already too late," I replied mockingly.
