My Husband Celebrated His Childhood's Sweetheart's Dog On My Birthday

Charles knew I was in the hospital for allergy treatment, but he still lost his temper. He was fuming that I could not answer his calls in time. I could tell from the background noise that he was not at home. However, he insisted on acting all high and mighty, just to put me down.I had always put Charles first in all the years that we had been married. Even when I was barely conscious from a high fever, I never neglected him. This led him to believe he could boss me around. However, I was not as accommodating this time. "I wasn't feeling well and didn't have time to answer the phone," I explained.Charles snorted coldly. "You're such a drama queen. Avery's dog needs surgery. We can't leave. Leave the hospital immediately and buy two bowls of soup. I'm starving. You have 20 minutes. Do a good job, and I can make an exception and let you use my family card."In the past, a casual, overbearing command from him would have made me happy for a long time. I thought it showed how intimate

I was taken to the hospital, and the doctor revealed that I had been pregnant for two months, but unfortunately, the fetus did not survive. My heart sank as this marked my second miscarriage. Before I could process the news, Charles gave me a harsh look. He coldly remarked, "Losing the baby is probably for the best. It proves you're an idiot who could not even take care of yourself. What's the point of getting pregnant?" Despite my aching heart, Charles' cruel words strangely brought me a sense of peace. When Charles' family learned about my previous miscarriage, my mother-in-law was devastated. She believed I was bad luck and insisted that Charles divorce me.It was a matter of my physical well-being, something beyond my control, yet they placed all the blame on me, forcing me to confess to things I had not done. I had sacrificed my pride, kneeling before the Logan family, pleading with Charles for another chance. I vowed not to let him down again, saving our marriage by a thread.

I looked at him, speechless. "What's there to explain? You both like each other, so you should be together.""It's not like that! There's nothing between Avery and me. I just lent her that shirt because she spilled her drink! There were plenty of people at the company who can testify for us. We have no secret affair. If you don't like it, I'll make her take it off now. Rosie, we've been married for so many years. Don't you trust me at all?" Charles's frantic behavior caught the attention of onlookers.I could not bear the humiliation. "Charles, please stop acting immature. Let's deal with whatever issue we have after I finish my work."A year ago, I faced Charles in a similar frenzy when I caught him and Avery exiting the couples' hall at the cinema entrance. At that time, Charles dismissed me with the same impatience.Charles appeared to recall that moment as well. I noticed a mix of guilt and remorse on his face, but I chose to disregard the disappointment in his gaze and departe

After some time, Charles hobbled in after tending to his injury. He was interrupted by a call from Avery, who was crying while still speaking to him flirtatiously.After hanging up, Charles shared that Avery had been attacked and needed his help at the hospital. "Rosie, Avery's a timid girl. She's never experienced anything like this and is terrified. I grew up with her after all. I have to go. Once I solve the things there, I'll take some time off and go on a trip with you. Haven't you wanted to see the ocean for a long time? What do you think? I promise to give you the best experience."Charles rambled on, and I impatiently agreed just so he could stop talking. Hearing my answer, his eyes lit up before he limped away. Before closing the door, he shouted outside, "Once Avery's problem is solved, we'll leave immediately!"As soon as Charles left, I contacted the lawyer to divide all the assets under both Charles' and my name. Then, I packed my luggage and headed to the house I had

I shook my head and explained, "Charles, let me make this clear. My decision to divorce you has nothing to do with Avery. She wouldn't have tried to replace me if you hadn't allowed it. You're the one at fault here. Stop pretending to be the victim. Over the years, you've likely been involved with many other women besides Avery. Every time I cleaned your clothes, I found evidence. The main difference now is that I won't tolerate your insults and disrespect. I will not beg for your love like a desperate person. Remember when we got married? You looked down on my parents from a small town and wouldn't let them join the wedding at your place. Instead, you made them wait at a hotel. Thinking back on that moment, I regret not leaving with my parents after taking off my wedding dress. If I had done that, I wouldn't have endured so much suffering all these years."After hearing me spill my thoughts, Charles instinctively shook his head. "That's not true. I know you're hurt by how unfairly I
