Chapter 1
I married the campus princess back then. He was handsome, rich, gentle, and elegant, a man every woman would dream of.
After seven years of marriage, we grew apart.
My parents had a car accident while taking our children out. I called him desperately.
A woman answered over the phone, saying, "Hello, miss. Sorry, he drank too much and fell asleep at my place. If you have something urgent, leave a message. He will get back to you when he wakes up!"
I handled the funeral alone and sent him a message on WhatsApp, [Let's get divorced!]
The next day, he replied, [Okay!]
——
A week later, he came back.
Upon seeing him enter the house, I indifferently glanced at him and ignored him.
Spencer Horne put down his clothes and said as he untied his tie, "Didn't you go home? When did you come back?"
After searching around, he couldn't find his slippers. In the past, I would bring the slippers to him, take the clothes from his hands, and prepare hot water for his bath.
But now, I didn't do that.
Seeing that I didn't move, Spencer went to take a shower by himself.
Halfway through washing, he opened the door and shouted at me, "Come help me scrub my back!"
I didn't answer.
After a moment, he walked out.
"Didn't you hear me when I called you?
I looked up at him expressionlessly.
"When are we getting divorced?"
He looked at me with confusion.
"How much longer are you going to make a fuss? Didn't I say I drank too much that day?"
Seeing that I didn't respond, he continued, "There were many of us together at that time. When we drank too much, we all slept at Kate's place! If you don't believe me, ask others! Is it fun for you to always make trouble for no reason?"
"Am I making trouble for no reason?"
I looked at him in confusion. He seemed to think that I did so to prove that he harmed me.
"It's ridiculous."
"Alright! Stop making trouble. Rest early. We must go to your house tomorrow!"
"Going to my house?"
I found it funny.
"Yes, go to your house. Tomorrow, we'll take them to the hospital for a re-check-up and bring our son back! The day after tomorrow, we'll take the child to the amusement park. I promised him a long time ago, but we never go there."
He continued talking to himself, unaware of how gloomy I looked with my bloodshot eyes at that moment.
"Where are you going to see my parents and pick up the child?"
I suppressed my emotions.
"Of course, I'm going to your house!"
Looking at his face, I couldn't hold back anymore. Then I broke down.
They are no longer in this world! Where will you go to find them? Where do you want me to go to find them?"
I shouted almost madly.
Spencer was scared by my look, falling to the ground!
Chapter 2
Spencer looked skeptical and looked at me angrily.
"You can do whatever you want. Why do you curse the child and your parents like this?"
I looked up and met his eyes, presenting the death certificate.
"Do you think I would make a scene with you?"
Spencer looked at the death certificate in my hands, looking gloomy gradually.
He questioned, saying, "Why didn't you tell me such a serious thing?"
...
"Didn't I tell you? Spencer, check your cell phone yourself. How many calls and messages did I make and send you that night? Look at the red exclamation marks on WhatsApp! Isn't it ironic? Oh, I forgot. You were sleeping at Kate's house. How could you have time to answer my calls?"
Hearing my words, he sat down on the sofa.
Bringing up this matter again made my heart in great pain.
Just a moment ago, my child said on the phone, "Mom, Grandma, and Grandpa will bring me to you. I miss you and Dad."
The next second, what I saw were three corpses.
He was still so young. He hadn't yet felt the beauties of this world, and he died!
Thinking of this, I was in more and more pain.
Spencer and I were college classmates. We were different types of people.
He was the campus princess, and he had many pursuers at school.
And I was the invisible one at school.
He made a bet with his friends that he would find a girl different from others.
So, I became his target.
In school, I was not a popular figure, but I was a proactive and hardworking girl from a small town.
In school, my grades had always been among the top.
Once, there was a group project. I was assigned to the same group as Spencer! We were researching the most difficult topic.
At that time, the two of us often argued because of different opinions.
Later, because of my persistence, our group achieved good scores.
Spencer changed his opinion of me and specially invited me out for a meal on the weekend.
It was the first time we had a formal chat.
I was more introverted. The topics of the chat were all brought up by Spencer.
Afterward, while researching every topic, I would coincidentally form a group with Spencer.
Later, I learned that Spencer deliberately requested so to the teacher every time.
So, I found him, asking, "Why do you always put me in your group?"
He said, "Because you always come up with different ideas!"
Because of his connections, I became a focus at school. Finally, my classmates knew that there was a woman in this school who looked good, had a good temperament, and had excellent grades!
Over time, the two of us became the best partners in the eyes of our classmates.
At this time, Spencer had his first love in school, and she was Kate Lau!
Everyone said that they were a perfect match. For some reason, Spencer never mentioned Kate.
At first, I thought it was because they didn't want to show off. Later I realized it wasn't the case. It was because Kate was going abroad for further study, and Spencer was starting a business. They were growing apart.
During that time, Spencer was very negative, even neglecting his studies. I was by his side every day, constantly encouraging him. I saw him go from being depressed to getting better and better.
At that time, I hadn't noticed that he had changed.
After graduating from university, we were in the same city.
On the day of graduation, he confessed his feelings to me!
It was only after that day that I found out how wealthy Spencer's family was.
Chapter 3
We were together for a year before preparing for our wedding.
Ironically, the plot from the novel became a reality. His family thought I was from the countryside. They didn't agree with us being together.
They even offered to pay money to keep me away from Spencer!
When I met his parents, I didn't even have the qualification to eat with them at the same table.
At that time, I intended to retreat.
But Spencer was unusually firm. To be with me, he would rather have a falling out with his family!
The two of us lived on our own. Spencer started his own business. Everything changed after I got pregnant.
Seeing that I had a son, his family indirectly agreed to our relationship.
However, it was just a mere agreement!
During holidays, when my child and I went back, we weren't warmly greeted.
When my son and the son of Spencer's sister had conflicts, it was always my child who got beaten! When I wanted to argue, I was insulted by the entire family!
At first, Spencer would speak up for me!
But as time went on, he chose to turn a blind eye.
At that time, my child would always ask me, "Mom, don't grandpa and grandma like me?"
I looked at that young kid, wondering what to say for a while!
Later, Kate came back!
Spencer came home even less.
As soon as Kate came back, she went to Spencer's company and became his assistant. By the time I knew this, it had been half a year.
Because of this, I fought with Spencer!
"Can't you forget about her?"
I questioned Spencer while holding the child, with disheveled hair. TI was like a madman. I never thought I would become like this one day!
"Natalya Patton! Have you had enough of causing trouble?"
Spencer angrily pointed at me!
"I haven't had enough! Didn't you say you forgot about her? Then why did you spend the night with her outside last night?"
I shouted hysterically!
"We were together because of work! Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! Enough is enough!"
That night, Spencer slammed the door and left!
Since that day, Spencer never came home!
Sometimes, he came back to change clothes and left.
I called him and asked why he did this. All I got was such an answer, "I am busty. I have no time!"
Before, even if he worked overtime late, he would always call me.
At that time, because of our relationship, I often tortured myself. Insomnia, hair loss, and a haggard face made me look like I was suffering from a serious illness. After my parents and children had an accident, I finally saw the reality.
"It turns out that no one in this world will love you forever!"
"Love is just a nice name that people use for their superficial desires!"
