My bet is that she started to work as a hostess (hence the "dirty" comment), but couldn't find a man to support her, because everyone in town knew she had a kid. So, she decided to raise her chances by abandoning Aya and start from a clean slate elsewhere.
I had the same thoughts. Must've been what the author was looking to convey if our minds went to the same place.
Well I expect this upcoming conversation with Koto won't lead to them reconciling. We still haven't gotten to the title's promise of a love "triangle" since we have a couple and another person liking the one of them one-sidedly.
I expect the two to take a bit of a break (because breaking up would destroy Koto), and Aya would live with Erika in the meantime. I can see during this time Aya eventually coming to develop feelings for Erika (which finally gives us a true love triangle).
But what Aya really needs is an adult to look after her and doesn't want to get into her pants. So living with Erika will probably be good for her emotional development.
