I watched Ruth finish her meal in silence.

"I'm done eating. You should leave, I have to practice now."

Ruth was urging me to leave, and I really didn't want to stay a second longer.

I was thinking the trip was fruitless when something happened.

"Hey Ruth, where is Alex? Why isn't he having lunch with you today? I was just about to rehearse a dance with him."

It was a young girl I didn't see earlier.

Ruth's hand shook, the cutlery fell on the table, and her face looked all weird.

"How would I know? He's probably eating in the cafeteria. You can look for him there."

I stared at her flustered look, asking casually, "Who is Alex? Why haven't you ever mentioned him? Do you often eat with him?"

Ruth looked even more panicked, with a hint of impatience.

"He's just a student. He's very talented. What's wrong with me being his mentor? Why are you so much today? It's annoying. Okay, leave now, stop wasting my time."

Her reactions proved that there was definitely something wrong between her and Alex.

But it was not a good time right now, I had to wait.

When I was leaving, I met the girl who had complimented on my food earlier.

I added her on WhatsApp, saying I was preparing a surprise for Ruth, and told her to keep it a secret and not tell anyone else. She happily agreed.

What a gullible little girl.

From today onwards, I would bring Ruth her lunch every day, rain or shine.

Others thought we were just showing off our love and expressed their admiration.

But that was not the case.

Since I started visiting every day, the time she had to spend with Alex must have become shorter. She must be anxious.

And I met the guy, he was a very tall and handsome young man.

He hadn't even graduated from college.

But he was young and handsome, no wonder Ruth was crazy about him, even willingly giving up her career and getting pregnant with his child.

How touching.

I also found out a lot from the girl I met earlier.

Her name was Heather.

She was a cheery and naive girl, never suspecting a thing.

From her, I learned that Alex came here more than half a year ago.

Because of his great talent, Ruth liked him from the very beginning and often took him with her when rehearsing and assigned him roles.

Gradually, they became closer and often had lunch together.

However, Ruth always told others that she admired Alex's talent and wanted to train him as her student.

But there had always been gossip about the two of them.

Just as I thought, something was off with her and this Alex.

Such a headline it would make, famous dancer grooming a college student.

I knew that Ruth had been under a lot of pressure these days, so I wanted to cut her some slack, which was part of my plan.

"Honey, there will be a book signing in Seatown in two days. I'll be out of town and won't be able to bring you lunch during those two days. Take good care of yourself okay?"

I watched her reaction as I broke the news.

"Really?"

Ruth's reaction was even greater than I expected.

Realizing she overreacted, she quickly adjusted her expression.

"I mean, it's fine. It's great you're out working. I'm tired of homemade food, good to have a change. Don't worry, honey. I will take good care of myself."

The joy on Ruth's face could hardly be concealed.

It'd will be easier for you see another man with me gone right?

What she didn't know was that I had installed secret cameras in every room in the house.

After all, Ruth was very likely to bring someone home.

To be safe, I also asked someone to wait at a hotel that Ruth often went to, and he would send me a message immediately if he saw her.

Of course I was going nowhere. I just went to Josh's house for a few days.

As I expected, Ruth brought Alex back home the night I left.

I clenched my hand around my cup.

Even though I had guessed it, it was off-putting to witness my beloved wife cheating on me with my own eyes.

Ruth wrapped her whole body around Alex. How could he resist her, with her beautiful body acquired through years of dance practice?

"Ruth, is your husband really not home?"

Alex couldn't help but put his arms around her slender waist, asking nervously.

"Don't worry, he won't be here for the next few days. Let's just have some fun."

Ruth kissed him on the lips.

I tossed the cup, the veins on my hands bulging with anger.

Ruth, who was pregnant, was so impatient.

"I'm carrying your child though, so we can't go too far."

"Okay, let me please you then. But I want the leading role in the new performance."

The two of them embraced and whispered to each other, a disgusting sight.

"It's yours, don't worry."

Ruth happily agreed.

What came next made me even sicker.

My wife whom I had loved for so many years, was cheating on me in our own house.

I suppressed my humiliation and anger, saved the surveillance footage, and started planning to expose the pair of scums.
