Eight Months Pregnant, I Came To Court For A Divorce – But When My Husband’s Mistress Hit Me In Front Of Everyone, The Judge Suddenly Ordered The Courtroom Sealed-tete – Reading Times

Harrison straightened his expensive tie and regained his composure with a speed that was almost frightening. “Your Honor, I have no idea what that paper is, but I can assure you my wife has been emotionally volatile for a long time,” he replied.

“I did not ask for your opinion on her mental state, so please refrain from answering questions that were not posed to you,” the judge said. The silence returned, heavier than before, as the bailiff finished locking the heavy doors.

My cheek was still throbbing with pain, and I felt the baby kick hard against my hand. The judge noticed the movement, and for a fleeting second, his stern expression softened into something that looked like genuine empathy.
