Chapter 1
At a classmate's wedding, my wife and her ex-boyfriend drank cross-cupped wine in front of me and ate red dates face to face.
She didn't refuse. Instead, she happily agreed and took the initiative to kiss him.
Everyone turned to look at me. They thought that I would make a scene and leave in anger.
I smiled faintly, clapped my hands, and said, "Since they have feelings for each other. It'll be better to let the love birds to have some private time together."
James licked Yvonne's lips and looked at me. I was sitting below the stage.
"Yvonne, your husband is here. Will he be jealous?"
Yvonne laughed casually, "Not a big deal. Don't worry about him."
They continued to kiss passionately as if there was no one else around.
Then they made a heart-shaped gesture to the camera hand in hand.
Soon, the photo was posted on social media.
Someone even commented they were a match made in heaven.
My best friend quickly sent me a message.
"Leo, are you okay about it?"
I looked at the two people on the stage, holding hands, talking and laughing.
"I'm fine. Let them be."
When Yvonne came back, she naturally sat next to James. They looked so close to each other.
James took a bite of a rice ball and then handed the rest to Yvonne.
Seeing the scene, I couldn't help my nausea.
James looked at me and said, "We haven't seen each other for a long time. Of course, I want to get closer to Yvonne. You don't mind, do you?"
In the face of such blatant provocation, I said indifferently, "I don't care."
In the past, I would have thrown caution to the wind and made a scene.
But at this point...
To be honest, the shameless couple was really disgusting.
It was not the first time that they had done this in front of me.
The first time I found Yvonne had cheated on me, when we were in school.
They went on a date behind my back.
When I found out, they were kissing.
I flew into a rage and kicked James into the river.
However, Yvonne claimed that they were just rehearsing for a drama. She claimed my thought was filthy, and I let my imagination run wild.
She asked me to apologize to James, or we would break up.
She could always touch on my weak spot.
What I was afraid most was that she would break up with me, so I could only lower my head.
However, my apology did not bring peace.
My miserable past experience was twisted and posted on the school forum, exaggeratedly.
In order not to be judged by the crowd, I hid from one to another place.
Of course, I knew who slandered me.
But Yvonne didn't believe me and asked for the evidence. Otherwise, I would just be a petty person, who tried to blacken a kind soul.
She also said that I was a narrow-minded person, and that I would never be able to achieve anything in my life.
However, at that time, I had no self-esteem at all! I had always thought that as long as Yvonne didn't leave me, I could do anything for her.
So I kept apologizing and promised that I would never do this again.
Every time I thought about the past, I felt ashamed.
At this moment, everyone present was eating in silence, their eyes darting back and forth between me and the shameless couple.
When the groom and bride toasted, James pulled Yvonne up.
She immediately took James's arm.
James drank up the whole glass of wine and fell into her arms with the help of alcohol.
However, Yvonne didn't push him away but covered him with her coat.
Everyone turned to look at me.
To their surprise, I was surprisingly quiet. After a long time, I said, "Don't look at me. Nothing fun about me, but they're only halfway through the show. Dig in then."
Chapter 2
Although I was used to seeing them being so blatant, I still felt disgusted.
In the end, I couldn't eat anymore, so I went out to get some fresh air.
The cold wind blew on my face, making me soberer.
Since they dared to do this in front of me, it meant that they didn't intend to hide it anymore.
If so, I wouldn't show respect to them.
After the banquet, Yvonne helped James out with a flushed face.
Because she was weak, she almost fell down.
She gasped for breath and called me over.
"Leo, come and help me. He's too heavy."
"What does that have to do with me?" I retorted without even glancing at her.
Yvonne furrowed her brows, thinking that I was jealous.
"Don't make trouble. Help me. I'll explain it to you when I get back."
At this time, James suddenly woke up and kissed her on the face, shouting that she was his girl.
Then, he fell asleep again.
Everyone was shocked by this scene.
However, Yvonne seemed to be used to it. After glancing at me with dissatisfaction, she tried her best to help James into the car.
Jame held onto her hand and refused to let Yvonne go.
Hence, Yvonne followed him into the car, as if they had discussed this beforehand.
She left with James without saying anything to me.
The car window rolled down, and James looked at me provocatively. He didn't look drunk at all.
I knew he was pretending to be drunk. He was just taking the opportunity to irritate me.
I calmly watched their performance. It didn't matter anymore.
They could do whatever they wanted.
As long as they asked, I could divorce Yvonne immediately.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and all of them shot doubtful and disdainful gazes at me.
"My wife hooked up with another man in front of me. How could I bear to see it?" they may thought.
Someone scolded me, saying that I was not a man.
But someone who could forgive his woman's cheating, was not a real man.
Someone even said James and Yvonne were a match made in heaven. And I got in their relationship.
The words were very ear-piercing.
But they had forgotten that I was Yvonne's husband.
I went back home,
lying on the big bed.
I couldn't remember how long I hadn't feel relaxed like this.
I still remembered the first day when I got together with Yvonne.
Getting water and doing laundry for her were kind of my daily routine.
I thought I had done enough.
However, James came to our school. Yvonne would fix her eyes on him, every time we had a class together.
I was afraid that Yvonne would suddenly break up with me, because I was not good enough for her.
Every time she said something to comfort me, I would become attentive again.
But the next moment, She was talking and laughing with James.
Later on, I found out that James was her ex-boyfriend.
He had transferred to our school for Yvonne's sake.
Then, James went abroad.
As for Yvonne, she chose to marry me.
I felt that God was on my side.
I posted it on my social media proudly, wanting to tell the whole world about it.
One day, Yvonne came back very late. Perhaps, she was so tired that she forgot to turn off her phone.
When she went to take a shower, she received a message.
When I saw that it was James, my heart skipped a beat, and I had a bad feeling.
I tried my best to remain calm as I read the message.
"Baby, did you have fun with me tonight?"
Then, there was a photo of them kissing!
At that moment, my head exploded!
Every day, she refused to have intimacy with me, because she was either busy or tired.
But in fact, she was fooling around with James!
Chapter 3
At this moment, I realized that James might have returned home from abroad.
They had been in touch with each other all the time!
I wanted to question Yvonne.
But I felt so tired to speak.
We had only been married for more than a year, but I was already exhausted.
After that, Yvonne said that she'd go on a business trip and not be home for a few days.
I didn't ask her any question but simply replied, "Okay."
I knew she was lying to me,
Because she never needed to go on a business trip!
She was lying to me, because she wanted to have fun with her lover every night.
I just didn't want to expose her lies.
I didn't care about her anymore.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Yvonne still hadn't returned.
If it were in the past, when she didn't go home so late, I would call her like crazy. I was afraid that she would be asked for WhatsApp or hit on. I was even more afraid that she would get drunk outside and be taken home by someone else.
But at this point...
Even if she died outside, it had nothing to do with me.
I turned off my phone and fell asleep.
At some point, the sound of the door opening woke me up.
Yvonne commanded me as usual.
"Leo, get up and get me a glass of water."
If it were in the past, I would have boiled water for her, set a perfect temperature of the bathroom, and prepared desserts and fruits for her.
I replied casually, "I'm sleeping. Don't disturb me."
As soon as she walked into the bedroom, a strong smell of alcohol emanated from her body.
"Are you jealous again?
How many times have I told you not to be so sensitive?"
She thought that I was angry about what had happened at the wedding.
"As you can see, at that time, as a bridesmaid, I could only sit with the best man."
"Is kissing necessary?" I sneered.
Yvonne huffed, "That's just a little trick arranged by the host. Furthermore, James was so drunk, I had no choice but send him back."
I smiled.
There were so many people, but why did she have to send James home?
In the past, when were in school, James was the best drinker!
It was impossible for Yvonne not to see that James was pretending to be drunk.
"You can do whatever you want. No need to explain it to me."
"What do you mean?"
"You heard it."
Yvonne frowned, sensing that something wasn't right with me today.
After all, if it were in the past, she could have dealt with me with just a few words.
"Leo, what's wrong with you today? Did you get up on the wrong side of the bed?"
I said calmly, "I'm fine, better than ever!"
"Stop messing around, okay!"
Yvonne was a bit anxious.
"I told you I'm fine! You shouldn't have come back tonight. It's good to sleep with James. Isn't that what you want most?"
"You said you weren't jealous!"
"Hurry to boil some water for me. I'm sweaty and uncomfortable!"
"She fooled around with James outside. But now, she wants me to treat her same as before?"
What a joke!
"I told you I wanted to sleep!"
In a fit of anger, Yvonne threw my quilt to the ground.
"Get up and get me some water. Do you hear me!"
I sprang to my feet.
"Yvonne, ever since I married you, I've never mistreated you. So, I don't owe you anything! Let's mind our own business. Don't force me to expose you."
Finally, Yvonne couldn't hold it in any longer and exploded.
"Are you crazy?! Leo, I've been so nice to you that you don't respect me that much. If you want a divorce, just say it!"
I sneered in my heart. Every time she didn't go home at night or even stayed out all night, all she cared about was whether I had prepared any sweets and foot-washing water for her or not.
She could always make use of my concern to find out what she was dissatisfied with and cover up her mistakes by accusing me.
I was tired of listening to her excuses!
"Let's divorce!"
"What did you say??"
Yvonne was stunned.
Then, she suddenly threw her bag at me.
"You said it yourself. Don't regret it!"
She had played hard to get countless times.
"Will I?"
I would only regret it if I was crazy!
Early the next morning, Yvonne was completely drunk.
The man who sent her back was her ex-boyfriend, James.
As soon as she opened the door, James was very dissatisfied.
"How did you take care of Yvonne? What if someone evil take her home, when she went out to drink at night?"
"Humph, Yvonne.
It sounds so intimate."
I casually replied, "Wy do I have to worry about her? You're there for her, aren't you?"
James frowned, "You're not worried, but do you know what she said when she was drunk?"
"What does it have to do with me?"
He said angrily, "She cried and said that as long as you forgive her, she will never see me again!"
"Isn't that normal?" I said flatly, "She shouldn't have anything to do with you anyway. Since you're be together, I can divorce her. Just get to the point. Don't try to hide it from me!"
"I know you're not happy about my relationship with Yvonne, but do you know that she's pregnant? Shouldn't you listen to her all the time?"
I sneered, "Why?"
James was a little angry and pointed at my chest.
"Why? Since she married you and is pregnant with your child, you have to take good care of her!
She's your wife!"
If I didn't know the truth, I might have believed his nonsense.
For a moment, I allowed them to be intimate in front of me. They really thought I was weak and easily bullied.
I impatiently slapped his hand away.
"Wow, you know that she's my wife."
I stared straight into his eyes, "Do you know that the child in her belly is not mine?"
James's expression changed drastically.
"What did you say?"
