Lex smiled slightly as Rian ran over to him, yelling daddy as loud as he could. He watched as Christy looked up at him, and what little smile he had left faded. She was definitly angry at him, and he completely understood why. He opened his mouth to answer her angry question but shut it as she approached him, she seemed different physically, but he could not place it.
She approached him and he stood still, his face impassive. She slapped him twice across the face, and he flinched, not because he had to, but he knew it would make it worse if he didn't. He nodded, not saying anything yet. He picked up Rian after hearing the curse leave the boys lips. He looked at Rian sternly. "Don't say that." He then turned to his wife. "I left because I had to. I couldn't say anything about it." He looked away for a second and met her eyes. "Yes, I did sleep with her once. I understand your anger. Trust me, I hated myself for it, and regret it deeply. I am a weaker man than I thought."
