The Unwanted Wife Chapter 15 The Luckiest Man Alive
“Let’s end this marriage.”Felly did not know how the words could slip out of her lips so easily. Maybe she was really fed up, although she knew it would come with consequences. If she did it, Kimberly would be raised in a broken family, but Felly could not stay in this suffocating situation.After the words left her mouth, Felly could see Archer slam the empty glass on the table. The glass hitting the table startled Felly. “What did you just say? Say it again.” Archer’s voice was colder than the air-conditioner. It made Felly shiver.After another heavy sigh, Felly said, “Let’s just file for divorce, Archer. Please let me go. I’m tired.”Felly’s words and her weary tone made Archer speechless. He stood up towering over her. His tall and strong figure, and his beauty, were emphasized by the dim lights. It almost made Felly take her words back. Archer huffed. “Are you jealous after listening to my conversation with Bella?” he asked with a smirk on his lips. “Jealous?”Right at that s
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 16 The Burnt Fish
‘If only you weren’t a selfish woman who would do anything in your power to get what you want. I would be the luckiest man alive for having you as a wife.’Archer’s words from last night kept repeating in Felly’s head like a broken record. “What did he mean by that? A woman who would do anything? Me?” Felly thought to herself as she sighed. No matter how hard she thought and tried to understand it, she still did not know what Archer meant. There were so many things she did not understand about the man whose hatred towards her kept increasing every day. Maybe Sarah was right, Archer was manipulated by that woman. Felly smiled bitterly. No matter what Bella did to Archer, Felly did not care anymore. Felly did miss Archer, but not this Archer who currently lived with her. She missed the one who went to university with her in Paris. The friendly, joyous Archer who always treated her well. They used to be so close. Felly and Archer used to be inseparable. Everything fell apart when B
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 17 Hitting a Nerve
Felly walked with Aaron to the dining table. Kimberly and Aurora were still giggling and chasing each other in front of them.“Oh really? Then it was some kind of telepathy. That’s why you made a lot of food today.” Aaron chuckled while pulling a chair. “After you.”“Huh?” Felly was surprised by the gesture. “Me?”“Yes. Who else?”Felly grimaced. With a doubt in her heart, she took a seat. “Thank you,” she muttered. She was touched because not even her own husband had ever done such a thing to her. “My pleasure. A woman has to be treated well, starting from the tiniest thing, like this.” A smile appeared on Aaron’s sexy lips. It was as sexy as Archer’s. Felly was stunned for a second when her brother-in-law smiled gently and stared warmly at her. “What’s this?” Archer’s icy tone broke the silence between Felly and Aaron. They were staring into each other’s eyes. “Are you two hiding something from me?” he asked with suspicion. “Just say you’re jealous,” Aaron smirked. Archer shot hi
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 18 The Wound That Never Heals
“Then what about people who cheat? Isn’t that also very inappropriate?”“Like … your ex-wife?”Aaron smiled wryly but then shook his head slowly. “Like you.”Cough!Felly choked and coughed when she heard that. Archer was clenching his jaw and suspiciously staring at Aaron. He immediately turned to Felly who was hitting her chest.“Good grief! Why are you guys talking about weird stuff?” Felly grumbled after chugging a glass of water. She purposely did that to tear down the tension among them.Felly did not know why she questioned something she knew was true. Archer cheated. But this was not the time to discuss it. “Ah … sorry,” Aaron grimaced. He rubbed the back of his neck with guilt. “I did not mean any harm, Felly. I just wanted to annoy your husband. Really.”Archer huffed softly. He turned back to Aaron. “Your jokes aren’t funny,” he hissed through gritted teeth. Instead of replying to Archer, Aaron chose to talk to Felly who was still trying to calm herself. “Don’t take it
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 19 A Healing Wound
“Ugh!” He groaned in pain. Felly looked up, finding Archer’s eyes with questioning gaze.She did not know which of Archer’s body parts the branch hit. She was too speechless to ask. Her head was full of questions and she was confused. “Why are you such a clumsy woman, Felly?” Archer hissed. He took his arms away from Felly, who was wearing a stylish black midi dress. Felly’s lips were pressed together. She saw a long branch on the ground, ten centimeters from them. She looked up at the tree. The branch was brittle. Felly was stunned. If Archer had not protected her, the branch would have hit her head. “Papa!”The two girls’ screams dragged Felly out of her mind. She had just realized Kimberly and Aurora were crying in Archer’s arms.“Are you okay?” Kimberly asked. She was sobbing. Her eyes and nose were red. “I’m fine, dear. Look, Papa’s still standing here. I don’t even faint.” Archer chuckled as he caressed the two girls’ hair to soothe them. Even the simplest event could be te
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 20 Too Late
Felly set up the food on the dining table with Amy’s help. She smiled when she heard tiny footsteps approaching her. “Mama, I’m hungry. I want to eat.” Felly chuckled. “So do you want to eat now, or should we wait for Papa?” Felly asked. She pulled a chair for Kimberly to sit on. Kimberly’s hazel eyes blinked. “Papa’s still not home, Mama?”“Not yet, dear. Maybe he’s still busy with work.”“But it’s Sunday, Mama. Does Papa always have work on the weekend?”Felly was about to open the refrigerator door when she heard the question. She immediately stopped what she was doing. Kimberly was only three years and a few months old, but she already understood things that children her age should not even think about.Felly turned to her and smiled. "Papa has a lot of work, dear. So, Papa has to keep working even on holidays." "Oh ... is that so, Mama?" Felly nodded, but she did not actually know where Archer was. He had gone since this afternoon—after Felly rubbed the ointment on his back.
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 21 Don’t Ever Touch Me Again
He did not know what came over him, but he wanted to wipe the remaining tears. "What are you doing?" "Shit!" Archer cursed. He quickly pulled his hand back and shoved it into his pocket when Felly suddenly opened her eyes. "Are you pretending to be asleep?" Archer hissed with a tight jaw. Felly straightened her back and rubbed her eyes. She was stunned because her eyes still felt wet. It was her habit to cry when she was alone with her thoughts. "Right. Your assumption is always right." Felly was in the black satin nightgown. She packed up her drawings."I hate women who like to make insinuations." "I have no desire to be liked by a man like you," Felly said quickly. She stared at Archer for a moment with an annoyed look. The man was staring at her with an unreadable gaze. "Kimmy left some food for you." Archer turned his gaze to the middle of the dining table. “But for your information,” Felly continued, “this doesn’t mean I’m telling you to eat my cooking. I just want to tel
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 22 Let Go of My Wife
Archer hurried to catch up with Felly, who had already walked quite far ahead of him.“Shit!” the man cursed when the elevator door that Felly was riding in closed. He did not get the chance to open the door. Archer punched the wall with a clenched fist. He then rubbed his face roughly. He was always in turmoil when dealing with his wife. He wanted to be angry, annoyed, and other emotions that were very difficult for Archer to describe in words. Archer himself was sometimes confused by what he was feeling.The elevator door finally opened. Archer rushed in and pressed the button to the lobby.When he arrived in the lobby, he saw Felly walking a little unsteadily while massaging her temples.Felly almost fell. Archer immediately ran to catch her. But his steps immediately stopped when he saw Ryan—who came out of nowhere. Ryan suddenly caught Felly who was about to fall by embracing her.Archer’s fingers slowly clenched.“Felly, what happened? Are you sick? Your face is pale.” Ryan obs

The Unwanted Wife Chapter 30 The Worst Man in the World
And also, I … miss you.The sentence was stuck in Archer’s throat. Of course. He would never say the words. The direct expression of what he had felt for the past three days.In the past, Archer never missed Felly, even when he was gone for days or even weeks. He usually knew that Felly would always be home with their child. There was nothing for Archer to worry about.It was different for the past three days. After what he had done to his child and wife on the day of the family gathering, suddenly there was something aside from guilt. Maybe … loss? Archer had no clue. He really did not understand his own feelings.At that time, he did not know where Felly and Kimberly were. The divorce papers he received added to the complexity of the situation. It made Archer furious and confused at the same time.“Get away!” Felly hissed coldly while pushing Archer’s chest when the man was off guard. “I have to get out of—Ah!”Felly suddenly screamed when Archer pulled her waist to straddle him. "I
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 29 I Have the Right over Your Body
“Mama is about to go home, dear.”Felly clamped the phone between her ear and shoulder while packing up her things on the table.“Mhm. Oh? Aunty Nicole’s there? The two of them are there?” She frowned in wonder as to why Nicole—her little sister, was in Xavier’s new apartment.“Yup, I’m here. I had been planning to come over, because someone kept bragging about having a new apartment. What a pleasant surprise! My cute nephew is here too,” Nicole chimed in while chuckling.“Oh, Xavier! So, he told you that he had a new apartment, but didn’t say anything to me?” Felly clicked her tongue. She glanced at her watch. It was eight. “Where is he now?”“Xavier left. He said he was going to pick you up.”“I already told him I was going to take a taxi,” Felly grumbled. “Call him. Tell him to wait at Angel Bread. I want to buy some cake for Kimmy first.”“Okay. But don't just buy for Kimmy, what about me?" Nicole protested.Felly chuckled. She then said yes to Nicole's wishes before finally hangin
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 28 Breaking into Her Office
It had been three days since she met Cecilia. Her lawyer who immediately processed Felly's application. Then Felly immediately sent the divorce paper to Archer the next morning. In the brown envelope, there was not only the divorce paper. Felly also wrote a message.'Once signed, submit the files to this address.' Felly included Cecilia's office address in the message. The hazel-eyed woman took a deep breath while stroking the top of Kimberly's head who was still sleeping beside her this morning. She did not know if Archer had received the letter. Until that moment, Cecilia had not received it from Archer. "Mama, am I off school again today?" The hoarse voice of her daughter who had just woken up distracted Felly from her thoughts. She then smiled and nodded. "Yes, for now." "Why? I didn’t go yesterday, and the day before that.” Felly smiled and then picked Kimberly up to her lap. She was tidying up Kimberly’s long, messy hair. “All of your clothes and school supplies are at hom
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 27 Felly’s Decision
“Mama, why can’t we go home?”Kimberly’s question snapped Felly out of her thoughts. She turned and smiled while stroking Kimberly’s cloudy face.During the family gathering this afternoon, Kimberly looked cheerful because she was carried away by the atmosphere. Especially since Xavier was with her. But after the event was over, the girl became gloomy again like a baby chick that had lost its mother.“Let’s stay here for a few days, okay? You’re fine with that, right, Kimmy?”“Does that mean we won’t see Papa?”Felly blinked. She tried hard not to curse the man in front of her innocent daughter. Felly was always angry every time she remembered the man who had repeatedly stabbed every corner of her heart.“Mhm. Papa has work, honey.” Felly lied for this one reason. “While Papa is working, we will stay at Uncle Xavier’s apartment. Is that okay?” she asked once more.“It’s okay.” Kimberly shook her head quickly, then pouted. “I don’t like Papa. I don’t want to see Papa!”Felly could only
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 26 The Brown Envelope
Archer got back into the car and dialed Felly's number again. But for the thousandth time, Felly's phone was still off.Archer's heart would not stop beating fast. The beat was far above normal. Remorse stabbed his heart very deeply this time.Archer drove his home. The distance was quite far and the traffic was horrible this afternoon. It took Archer quite a long time to get home.He did not wait for the security guard to open the door as soon as the car stopped in the yard. Archer rushed inside because he wanted to meet Kimberly and apologize to her. Archer was very sure that the child would sulk and be disappointed. Her mother ... Archer took a deep breath as Felly's angry and hurt gaze flashed in his head."They haven't come home yet?" Archer asked Amy when he did not find whom he was looking for."Not yet, sir."Did they stop by somewhere first?Archer wondered to himself as he plopped to the living room sofa. He ran his fingers through his hair, not even caring about his face whi
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 25 Restless
Archer glanced at the watch on his left wrist. Five in the morning. He knew he had to go home soon to fulfill his promise to Kimberly.He had just woken up after sleeping on the sofa since four in the morning. Archer got up and grabbed the jacket lying on the single sofa.Archer would try his hardest to be with Kimberly all day. Aside from not wanting to disappoint his daughter again, he also knew that Kimberly was looking forward to this family gathering event.“I’m going home, Belle,” Archer muttered as he looked at Bella who was lying weakly in bed. Her face was pale after vomiting blood last night. Her hand had stiff fingers and her middle finger was shorter than the others. It was from that accident.“Archer, don’t go … please,” Bella whispered. It made Archer’s footsteps stop near the door.Archer turned around and walked back to the bed. “I have to be with Kimberly today, Belle. You can have a nurse accompany you for now, okay?” Archer said in a low voice. He closed his eyes for
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 24 Xavier Ferlando
“Mama, wake up. Let's go, what if we oversleep?" A gentle stroke on her cheek and a whisper in her ear, made Felly open her eyes. She found Kimberly already sitting on her and giggling to herself. "What time is it, dear?" "Five o'clock, Mama." "Oh my God ... it's still five o'clock, we won't oversleep, honey," Felly groaned while pinching Kimberly's cheek in annoyance. Kimberly's laughter echoed through the room that was still dimly lit by the night light. Felly smiled softly then stroked the top of her daughter's head. "You cannot wait, huh? You're rarely up so early." "I can't wait, Mama." The child made a circular motion in the air with both hands. "But where's Papa? Why isn't he here?" Felly cleared her throat. She sat up while hugging Kimberly. She knew Kimberly would ask that. It was unusual for this chubby-cheeked child to enter this room so early in the morning like this. "Papa went out earlier, honey," Felly lied. "Ooh? Where?" "Maybe ... to his office." "Oh ...."
The Unwanted Wife Chapter 23 The Long-Dead Archer
“Mama!”Kimberly's scream surprised Archer. He shifted his gaze from Bella’s message on his phone screen to Felly who had just gotten out of the car. "Papa, put me down," Kimberly whined. "Oh? Okay." The girl immediately rushed into her mother's arms as soon as she got out of Archer's. Archer watched the two of them. His heart was suddenly in turmoil. He had mixed feelings when he saw how Kimberly laughed and Felly tried to look fine in front of their child. "Papa! Come on!" Kimberly exclaimed while waving her hand. "O-oh, yes." Archer came to his senses. He locked his phone and put it in his pocket. He then approached his family. Archer patiently sat Kimberly on her baby seat and put on the seat belt. Meanwhile, Felly was already sitting in the front seat. "Papa, I’m hungry," Kimberly whined. "Do you want to have lunch now?" "Mhm. I do." "Okay. Where do you want to eat?" “Um ….” Kimberly rubbed her chin, imitating Felly’s movement when she was thinking. “I want kimbab, Pap
