My Husband Drives Home with His First Love While I Took the Train

A national holiday approaches, and Sadie Bradford is meant to drive to her husband Evan Sanders's hometown with him, their young son Cooper, and his parents. But when Evan's childhood crush Rosalie Young, newly divorced and back in Wraithwood, says she could not buy a train ticket, Evan gives her Sadie's seat and tells Sadie to take the train instead. Cooper echoes him, praising Aunt Rosie and calling his mother a bad mommy who should take the train.

Sadie does not argue. She books a ticket in front of them, but to her own hometown, not theirs. Evan insists she must be the one to travel by train because his parents are old, Cooper is young, and Rosalie is weak, and he expects her to clean the old house before they arrive. To Evan and Cooper, she realizes, she is only a housewife and a cooking machine, never a wife or mother.

Even a nanny is paid, so why should she serve these traitors for free? Her love for Evan dies, and she decides to end it all.
