It's my third wedding anniversary with Eanes Lambert. However, he and his childhood sweetheart put on a public display of affection on their social media. "My heart beats for you and you only." I like the post and share it, but the original post is immediately deleted. Later, Eanes calls me to tell me off. "I was just comforting her because she was in a bad mood. Do you have to be so petty? What else can you do other than get jealous of others?" The next second, I receive a photo of him and his childhood sweetheart kissing passionately. She's the one who's sent it to me. In the past, I would've stormed over there to kick up a fuss. Now, however, I merely choose to leave Eanes. I'll let him have what he wants.

It was her idea to push me into this mess!"Can you… Can you help me? You can say something online to ease the backlash. That will at least make things a little less miserable for me."Even as I saw the look of desperation on his face, I had no intention of dragging this out any longer. Keeping my tone calm, I said, "Fine—but on one condition."Eanes stiffened. "What is it?"I smiled, pulling out the divorce papers I had been carrying with me all along."Sign this."This was the only thing I wanted now. Maybe, at some point, I still had a sliver of affection for Eanes—but after he slandered me, any remnants of it were long gone.The color drained from his face. He was silent for a long time before letting out a cold laugh. "Playing hard to get doesn't suit you." Then, as if suddenly thinking of something, he agreed, "Fine. I'll sign it. However, you ha
"You shameless bastards! So that's why you want a divorce out of nowhere—you've been seeing someone else behind my back. Look at you, acting all heartbroken. You've been betraying me for a long time, haven't you? Have you no shame?"Eanes was like a madman, pressing me relentlessly. I ignored him and kept wiping the wine off Shawn.My action must have pushed Eanes over the edge. In the next second, he lunged at Shawn, ready to throw a punch.I reacted quickly, stepping in between them.But suddenly, a sharp sting spread across my cheek.Eanes froze, staring at his hand in shock."Have you lost your mind, Eanes? Don't judge others with your filthy mind. Not everyone is as disgusting as you. You're a married man, and you dared to publicly announce your relationship with someone else on social media. And you can't take it when I'm just having dinner with a friend?"Besides, let's not pretend you don't know who the 'shameless bastards' are." I shot him a meaningful look.His fa
I couldn't help but smirk. "Taking care of a sick person in bed? And you still have the audacity to ask me what I want?"Eanes' expression turned awkward for a brief second. Still, he held his ground. "What nonsense are you talking about?"I chuckled and pulled out my phone, showing him the picture Yasmine had sent me."Here. Your dear friend sent me this. I'm not falsely accusing you, am I?"Eanes glanced at the screen, and his face instantly darkened. "I'm sorry. About this, I—"I cut him off before he could finish, "Are you apologizing because you wronged me or because I had to see something like this?"Eanes' face stiffened. His confidence wavered.Not wanting to play this game any longer, I handed him the divorce agreement. "Sign it."He froze for a moment. Then, as if finally reaching his breaking point, he flung the papers onto the floor."You're serious? I'm warning you! There is a limit to my patience. You should know where to draw the line.""Fine. You don't have to
I was about to deny it when Shawn added playfully, "I saw what happened when I was upstairs!"I let out a self-deprecating chuckle. "We're getting a divorce."Shawn, who knew how much I loved Eanes, was stunned for a moment when he heard the word "divorce".However, it lasted only for a second. He quickly regained his usual composure and didn't pry further. Instead, he changed the subject.Just as we were chatting, my phone chimed with a WhatsApp notification from Yasmine. It was a photo of Eanes resting his head on her shoulder, eyes closed, as if asleep.To say I felt nothing would be a lie, but more than sadness, I just felt a tightness in my chest.Yasmine's intent was obvious. Not only was she showing off, but she also tested my limits and provoked me into losing my composure in front of Eanes.But I wasn't playing along this time. I replied, "If he's tired, let him sleep. Take good care of him."Yasmine deleted the photo not long after. But it didn't matter. I had already
After all, I used to accommodate him in everything, as he was the center of my universe. That led him to believe that I couldn't live without him."It's fine. If we get caught by the paparazzi, I'll just say you're a business partner. No one would suspect anything about a business dinner. "I know why you're upset. It's because I didn't celebrate our anniversary with you, right? I'll make it up to you today."My hand paused on the car door handle, and my expression remained cold. "That won't be necessary."Eanes was surprised. "Aren't anniversaries the most important thing to you? I remember you being angry at me for a long time that one time I was on a business trip and forgot our anniversary. Come on. Don't be mad. I'll make it up to you."Eanes never understood me. Yes, I cared about our wedding anniversary, but what mattered more was how important I was to him. Even now, he still refused to acknowledge me publicly and give me the recognition I deserved.I didn't respond as I
Eanes grew visibly impatient. "What exactly are you throwing a tantrum about?""I'm not." I told the truth, but all I got in return was his merciless ridicule."Oh, please. You're obviously angry. You do know how old you are, right? Acting all jealous and petty at your age—how childish can you be?"I was two years older than Yasmine. Every time we argued, he would mock me—sometimes outright, sometimes subtly—implying I was stupid and past my prime. Then, he'd sit back and enjoy the sight of me getting upset.But this time, I wasn't angry. And I didn't ask if he regretted marrying me.I looked at Eanes, expressionless. "Think whatever you want." Then, I walked upstairs without another word, leaving him stomping in frustration behind me.I had just laid down in bed when Eanes changed into his pajamas and slipped in behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist.This unspoken signal between us was his usual way of making peace after a fight. But tonight, I didn't want to play alon
It must have hurt so badly that I was numb, but as soon as I let my guard down, I blacked out.The sharp scent of disinfectant filled my nose when I woke up. As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard Leon's concerned voice."Ms. Hunt! You're finally awake."I nodded slightly, only to find that Leo was looking at me with an odd look on his face."The attacker was Yasmine's ex-boyfriend. He's been arrested." He hesitated for a moment before adding somewhat awkwardly, "Eanes came by several times an hour ago. He said he was your husband and that he wanted to take care of you. "But I knew he was the one who pulled you in front of the knife, so I didn't let him in."For three years, Eanes had gone to great lengths to keep our marriage a secret. Aside from his close circle of so-called friends, no one knew about us. But today, he admitted our relationship in front of Leon.If this had happened in the past, I would have been ecstatic to know that Eanes was worried about me. But now, all I
Just as I was about to hang up, Yasmine took the phone."Jocelyn, I think you misunderstood. If you're upset because of me, I sincerely apologize. I'll keep my distance from Eanes in the future. I don't want your years of relationship to be affected because of me."This was Yasmine's usual tactic. She wasn't truly apologizing—she was just playing the innocent victim in front of Eanes."Why are you even apologizing to her?" Eanes interjected loudly. "I've already explained everything. It's up to her whether she believes it or not. It's a waste of time explaining to someone as petty as her."With that, he hung up the phone abruptly, not even giving me a chance to respond. He neither came home nor contacted me for the next few days.If it were before, I would have frantically searched for him. But I was sick of this. I suddenly didn't feel like waiting anymore.I focused on my work. I decided to take a break for myself before finding the right time to have a conversation with Eanes
"What nonsense are you talking about? They are husband and wife, after all," Yasmine said with a smile. However, she did not keep her distance as she clung to Eanes.Their back-and-forth only made Eanes feel that I had embarrassed him. He shot me a vicious glare. "Can you not spoil the fun when everyone's having a great time? You've always been sensible, haven't you? Why are you still here? Get lost already."He was right. I had always been the obedient woman who could read the room. Even as Yasmine used the excuse of pouring wine to pull Eanes onto her lap, I didn't so much as blink.I even poured their drinks for them. "Don't drink too much," I reminded him. "I'll brew you some tea for your hangover when you get home."Before leaving, I thoughtfully closed the door behind me.The others stared at me as if I were some kind of freak."Mr. Lambert, your wife is unbelievably easygoing. She can still endure it even after all this. Unbelievable!"Eanes' eyes were hazy with intoxicat
The third anniversary of my marriage to Eanes Lambert happened to fall on Eanes' 26th birthday.Eanes got up early, carefully groomed himself, and wore a brand-new suit. However, he refused to let me see him off.Seeing him dressed so differently from usual in his polished leather shoes and neatly pressed clothes, I hesitantly asked, "Is it Yasmine again?"Eanes paused for a moment as he polished his shoes. His tone then turned impatient. "Can you stop obsessing over Yasmine? She and I are just friends!"When I didn't respond, he seemed to realize how harsh he sounded. He softly added, "Don't overthink things. I'm not taking you with me because of the social circle. I'll be back by nightfall, and then the two of us can celebrate."After saying that, he leaned in to plant a light kiss on my ear before turning away and leaving.That evening, I made a cake and prepared a full table of dishes as I waited for him. But Eanes never came.I called him several times, only for my calls ...
