After I Got Divorced, My Best Friend Married My Husband

My best friend, Maura Sewell, and I both married into the Sherman family, and Maura became my sister-in-law.

But not long after the engagement, my husband cheated on me. I was so angry that I decided to divorce him.

Maura said that her husband was gay and wanted to divorce him, too.

But as soon as Maura divorced her husband, she said that she was pregnant.

But the baby was actually my ex-husband's!

——

Maura and I were best friends.

Both of us married into the most prominent family, the Sherman family, in New York.

I married the oldest son of the Sherman family, Kendrick Sherman.

Maura married Kendrick's younger brother, Hayden Sherman.

Maura once said to me, "Well.

"After we marry into the Sherman family together, we won't even be afraid of some relatives who have bad intentions!"

I was engaged to Kendrick, and Maura was engaged to Hayden.

After that, I was even happier.

A long time ago, I and Maura had a promise.

We wanted to live as close as possible to each other so that we could get in touch with each other more conveniently and easily.

This time, I had strongly requested one thing.

I let Maura and Hayden move into my and Kendrick's villa.

However ...

One day, I accidentally passed by the study.

Suddenly, I vaguely heard some voices and moans coming from inside.

My heart sank.

Kendrick said that he would work overtime at the company today.

So, he might come back a little later.

Then, I thought the man in the study might be Hayden.

However, Hayden had rarely set foot in this area.

I suddenly had a bad feeling about this.

I tiptoed to the door of the study.

Then, I carefully leaned to one side and peeked through the crack between the door and its frame.

I wanted to know what was going on.

However, the scene before my eyes made me so shocked.

I saw my husband, Kendrick, staring at my best friend, Maura.

They seemed to be talking about something.

I only heard that Kendrick told Maura he thought Maura was prettier than me.

He also said that if he could choose again...

He would definitely choose to marry Maura.

Maura said she disliked it.

But her body said a different thing. She kept getting closer and closer to Kendrick.

This scene really stunned me.

All of a sudden, I felt dizzy.

I almost couldn't stand still.

I couldn't believe what I had just seen.

I couldn't believe that my husband and best friend were flirting with each other behind my back.

I covered my mouth tightly, afraid that they would discover me if I made any noise.

I still didn't give up and looked back.

Then, I had confirmed that it was Kendrick and Maura.

Tears welled up in my eyes uncontrollably.

And they blurred my vision in an instant.

I couldn't stand it anymore and quickly turned around.

I left this place as fast as I could.

It was as if a horrible monster was chasing after me.

I ran back to my room and locked the door with trembling hands.

Then, I collapsed on the bed and burst into tears.

I could no longer suppress the pain in my heart.

I cried so sadly and choked with sobs.

I felt as if I was being torn into pieces.

The intense pain swept through my body, which almost suffocated me.

I didn't understand why my beloved husband and best friend betrayed me at the same time.

Was my marriage and friendship both fake?

I first saw Kendrick at a banquet.

And I fell in love with him at first sight.

He was handsome, rich, and talented.

He was the perfect prince charming in my heart.

Later, I tried my best to please Kendrick.

I used all the methods I could just to know about his preferences.

I even carefully dressed myself up to look like his unforgettable first love.

At the wedding, I held Kendrick's arm.

I stood side by side with him.

At that moment, I felt extremely happy and proud.

I looked at the nearly perfect face in front of me.

I couldn't imagine how happy my life with Kendrick would be in the future.

However, something unexpected happened later.

After the engagement, many things had changed.

Kendrick was always polite to me.

He was trying to hide his indifference to me.

But no matter how hard he tried, I could still feel his distance and coldness, which made me very sad.

I tried to change Kendrick's attitude.

I was over 20, but I had never done any housework or cooking before.

But for Kendrick, I learned how to cook soup from the chef at home for the first time.

I tried my best.

After finishing making the soup, I brought it to Kendrick.

Kendrick was as polite as ever.

No matter how virtuous and considerate I was to him, he was always indifferent to me.

Maura soon found out what the real problem was between Kendrick and me.

She even said that she would give me some advice and help me win Kendrick's heart.

At her instigation, I did something that I had never done before.

I suppressed my shyness and put on a set of clothes that I would never wear in the past.

I even meticulously decorated Kendrick's bedroom.

Kendrick returned home at night.

As soon as he pushed the bedroom door open, he began to cough and sneeze non-stop.

The butler immediately rushed in.

When he saw the decorations in the bedroom, he was shocked.

He shouted anxiously, "Why are there so many flowers in the bedroom? Mr. Kendrick is allergic to pollen!"

I hid in the wardrobe happily, ready to give Kendrick a surprise.

But when I heard the butler's words, I was dumbfounded.

Then, I got out of the wardrobe and apologized to Kendrick with a sad face.

Kendrick pretended that he didn't care.

But I still noticed the disgust deep in his eyes.

Later, Maura gave me another advice and said, "Trust me. This is definitely the type that men like.

"The more dignified you look outside, the more open you need to be at home."

Feeling helpless, I believed in her again.

I had pretended to let my upper clothes slip in front of Kendrick four times.

At the fourth time, Kendrick came over, picked up my clothes from the ground, and helped me put them on.

Then, he said softly, "Ingrid Lloyd, you're too dissolute. I don't like such a woman."

The moment I heard this, I felt like his words were like a sharp knife, which stabbed my heart hard. I felt both ashamed and annoyed.

I stomped my feet and ran out of his bedroom.

Back in my room, I looked at my body in the mirror.

"It's not that bad. Am I really that unattractive to him?" I muttered.

I didn't understand. I loved Kendrick so much.

But why didn't he accept me? He didn't even want to look at me.

In comparison, Maura's marriage was much better than mine.

Hayden listened to her in almost everything.

Maura showed off in front of me every day.

I couldn't help but feel jealous.

"Ingrid, I really can't stand Hayden. He is really nagging.

"As long as he is in the same space as me, he'll keep nagging at me. Can you imagine that?"

I looked at Maura, who was complaining and looked unhappy.

I was actually a little confused. I didn't understand why she was unhappy about it.

I thought maybe things were different in different people's eyes.

Maura and I were different.
