An Idiot for a Husband Chapter 8
I quickly arranged a meeting with Waylon."Was it during your business trip earlier this year?" I got straight to the point. Though it was phrased as a question, my tone was firm and unwavering.Waylon turned pale as he watched the video I had recorded. Unable to lie any further, he confessed. But even as the truth came out, I struggled to process it.I had believed our marriage would be a lifelong partnership, filled with love and devotion. Never had I imagined that Waylon had been unfaithful and knocked his mistress up at that."But I didn't mean for it to happen. That night at the bar, I was drunk, and she just… showed up," Waylon stammered, his voice trailing off as if even he realized how ridiculous his excuse sounded.I scoffed, "That's your explanation? Forget it. Let's just get divorced and be done with it.""My family won't let you leave that easily.""You cheated on me and still expect me to walk away empty-handed? Keep dreaming."With that, I left a dumbfounded Waylo

Before leaving, Delilah spat out one last threat. "Lucie, you'll pay for this!"The incident caused quite a stir, even trending briefly on Highland's local news.Initially, the Wood family resisted splitting the marital assets fairly. But I warned them that if they kept delaying, I would expose everything their family had done online.That wouldn't just make the Highland news—it could go nationwide. And if that happened, Waylon's job might not survive the fallout.Reluctantly, they agreed to a fair division of assets, and we moved forward with the divorce process.A few days later, I received news that I had passed the hospital interview.On my first day at work, I ran into Nigel in the hallway.Delilah and Waylon hadn't returned to their hometown yet, likely because Freya was here waiting to give birth. But why was Nigel still hanging around?Curious about his suspicious behavior, I decided to follow him. To my shock, Nigel entered Freya's hospital room.Did they know each ot

I frowned as I analyzed the timeline Kent provided.Fiona hadn't been back for long before she also got involved with Waylon. I couldn't help wondering if she was already pregnant, wouldn't marrying Nigel be a smoother path?At first, I thought the Wood family's antics no longer concerned me. However, they suddenly backtracked on the divorce agreement and demanded a 70-30 property split in their favor.They even claimed they wouldn't fear public backlash if I released the recorded video online, suggesting public opinion could swing in their favor.It didn't take a genius to figure out they needed the money for Nigel's new house.Waylon was a complete fool for funding his brother's house and even raising his child.I decided to keep digging.One day, I noticed a nurse I was friendly with was swamped with tasks, one of which was checking in on Fiona. Since I'd already seen Nigel visit her that morning, I volunteered to help.Inside Fiona's room, her voice was filled with sincerit

"Thanks," I said quietly, lowering my head.If Nigel found out it was me, the Wood family would definitely cause a scene at the hospital. Besides, now that I knew about Nigel and Fiona, they certainly wouldn't let me go.Jonas looked at me thoughtfully. "Be careful next time."After that, he turned and walked away. I stood there for a moment, watching his tall figure retreat, then slapped my cheek to snap myself back to reality.A man like him was far beyond someone like me.Now, I needed to take care of the Wood family's mess.Fiona was carrying Nigel's child, but Delilah would never allow a married woman to be with her precious son. So, Nigel had devised a plan to make the child appear to be Waylon's.He'd even manipulated Waylon into divorcing me and raising his child.I couldn't help but laugh wryly. I guessed it was time to meet with Waylon.When I saw him, Waylon exuded arrogance. The guilt he once had for me had shifted to cocky defiance, and he looked like a complete f

"What a schemer!""The mother must be so angry with herself. She ruined both of her sons."…Since that day, I hadn't heard anything more about their family until I received a call from Delilah. The usually domineering Delilah was sobbing uncontrollably, begging me to remarry Waylon.From her, I learned that after Waylon discovered he'd been played, he beat Nigel so badly that he ended up in the hospital. Then he threw Fiona out of the hospital and chased them both back South.At first, Delilah still wanted Fiona and Waylon to get together, but Waylon made it clear that he was cutting ties with them for good.Delilah was terrified, but considering Fiona was carrying her grandson, she reluctantly agreed to let her and Nigel be together in the end.But before the child was even born, Fiona's true colors were revealed.At first, Fiona kept asking Nigel for money. It started with hundreds, then thousands, and eventually tens of thousands of dollars. Nigel began to suspect something

On New Year's Eve, my husband, Waylon Wood and I decided to take a trip to Highland's Snow World before stopping by my parents' house for a visit. Afterward, we'd return to his family's home to celebrate the holiday.Waylon and I met in college.Growing up in the freezing Northeast for 18 years, I couldn't wait to escape the cold and went to a college located in the South. That was where I met Waylon, and we fell in love.For him, I didn't hesitate to marry far from home and settle down in the South.Because of my busy work schedule, I hadn't been back in three years. This trip was the perfect chance to not only have some fun but also spend some quality time with my parents.Waylon, however, wasn't thrilled."Why on earth would anyone go to Northeast in the dead of winter? Are you crazy?" he grumbled.I retorted unhappily, "You complain the summer's too hot, the travel's rushed, and the vacation's too short. Now that we finally have a decent break and Snow World is open, why not

Just as I was happily munching on a freshly bought snack and explaining my plans for the evening, Waylon's expression turned gloomy again.With obvious impatience, he said, "If there really is an aurora, we can see it from anywhere. We don't need to go all the way to the ridge."I was stunned by his impatience.It had only been four years since we made that promise to watch the aurora together."Waylon, this aurora is incredibly rare, and the ridge I picked will be warm and comfortable. It's the perfect spot. Isn't this something we promised to do together back then?"I tried to appeal to his memories, hoping to persuade him.But instead of relenting, Waylon snapped, his voice rising in anger."Lucie, can't you understand Inglish? No means no! What stupid promise are you talking about? I'm exhausted from running around these past few days, playing along with all your plans. If you want to see the aurora so badly, go by yourself!"His sudden outburst caught me off guard.Meanwh

The hotel receptionist passed me Waylon's message—"Reflect on your actions."The sympathy in her eyes made me feel humiliated.So, Waylon played me. He'd lured me to the restaurant just to punish me like this.My hands trembled as I borrowed the receptionist's phone to call him. However, he hung up immediately when he heard my voice.I tried calling again for more than ten times. Eventually, Waylon blocked the number.The suffocating weight of shame pressed down on my chest.Under the curious gazes of others, I stumbled out of the hotel, utterly lost.I didn't have money, my phone, or my ID. Waylon had forced me to a dead end.The biting wind pierced through my clothes, chilling me to the bone as I walked aimlessly down the street, trembling and clutching my arms tightly for warmth.As I trudged forward, flashes of our arguments from the past two days replayed in my mind.Waylon must have been holding back for a long time. And now, he'd gone to such elaborate lengths to teach

I called the property management to have them evict Delilah and the rest.The security team was impressively efficient, and before long, they had all of them escorted out.Not long after, I had my lawyer draft the divorce papers and sent it to Waylon. Once the divorce was finalized, I planned to resign from my job and return to the Northeast for work.Since I majored in medicine, I reached out to an old friend working at a hospital to keep an eye out for job openings. Eventually, I got an interview opportunity.On the day of the interview, I was heading toward the elevator after finishing up. At that moment, I heard the elevator doors open and voices approaching."Freya, you're truly a blessing for our family. You've got to take good care of the baby. It's Waylon's first child and our family's first grandson!" exclaimed a familiar voice.I hid behind a wall and peeked out to see the trio—Delilah and Waylon walking with a pregnant woman, fussing over her like she was made of glass

As soon as Delilah saw me, her expression turned even more sour.When I didn't greet her, she remarked sarcastically, "Well, aren't you something? You and Waylon are still married. Have you already forgotten how to show some respect?""Some things are better settled sooner rather than later. It saves trouble in the long run," I responded with equal mockery.Delilah snorted coldly, shoved me aside, and strutted into the house with Waylon and Nigel trailing behind like she owned the place.I frowned, displeased by their audacious behavior."I didn't say you could come in. Breaking and entering now, are we?"Waylon decided to chime in, his tone dripping with provocation. "Lucie, we're not even divorced yet. What's with the accusation? Don't tell me you've found someone else."I stared at him and could hardly believe this was the same man who once shared my bed.Mom stepped forward to shield me protectively. She said, "What brought you here? Your son can't behave himself, so now yo

Uncle Mike's family owned a martial arts academy, and both of my cousins had inherited the skills. With just a slight twist, Waylon's arm was dislocated."This is an assault! I'm going to sue you!" Waylon threatened despite the pain.I sneered and watched him writhe in agony on the floor. "Go ahead. You think we're scared of you? Waylon, we're getting divorced. I've made up my mind!""You're crazy to divorce me over this. You'll regret it!" Waylon spat through gritted teeth.My second cousin, Adam Lamont, looked down at Waylon with a smug grin, clearly enjoying his discomfort. He sidled up to me like a soldier awaiting orders."Lucie, how do you want to deal with him? You call the shots."I glanced down at the man I'd loved for four years.Any lingering affection I had for him was long gone. With a cold smirk, I replied, "Take his jacket off and toss him outside. Let him experience what it feels like to freeze to death."Waylon howled, "You evil bitch!"Hearing this, Uncle Mik

Listening to Waylon's strained attempt to sound calm over the phone, I wanted nothing more than to reach through the line and tear him apart."I just couldn't reach Lucie on her phone. What's going on? Why isn't she picking up?""Um… Lucie's phone's dead.""I see. You two are home now, right? Hand the phone to her. I've got something to tell her.""Uh… actually, she isn't home right now. She went downstairs to get something."While Waylon fumbled and scrambled for excuses, Dad rolled his eyes and handed the phone to me.I took a deep breath and tried to keep my voice steady. "Waylon, what exactly did I go out to buy?"The second Waylon heard my voice, panic set in. He tried to defend himself, saying, "Lucie, let me explain! I didn't mean for this to happen. Where are you? I'll come get you!""Come to my house. I'll be waiting," Dad commanded and hung up without waiting for a response.When Waylon arrived at my parents' house with a dreadful look, Dad immediately smashed the te
