Mr. Palmer,
Is your wife cheating on you that made you turn to Laura?
According to Xiaxue,
It isn't an HONEST MISTAKE. An honest mistake is when you accidentally step on someone's foot in a crowded bus.
This affair has been going on for a while now. It is not like Oh Mr Palmer was not wearing pants one day and his penis accidentally went into Miss Ong's vagina when she was bending over to pick up a pen, oops.
No, he committed mistake after mistake, Monday after Monday... With no consideration for his wife and kid's feelings whatsoever.
Maybe, just maybe, his wife is a horrible person who is also cheating on him (not that this is a valid excuse, he should divorce her before cheating if that's the case) but what did his poor kid do to deserve this?
Sorry, this was done with selfish intent and purpose.
After the first time he had sex with Laura he must have told himself "Oh I've done such a horrible thing today!! Should I stop?" and somehow his answer was No, I should continue.
And he did... All the way he continued until he was caught, and if he weren't, he'd still be fucking Laura Ong next Monday.
