Chapter 5
After finishing dinner, Daisy made an excuse that she had to deal with her work.
She hurriedly picked up her coat and left.
There were only me and three children at the dining table as usual.
I watched them finish their meal.
I told Kimi to take his younger Easton and sister to do their homework.
Then I took out a flashlight and went to the basement.
This was a partition that was given as a gift when we bought the house.
Originally, I planned to transform it into an esports room.
But Kimi and Javion were born one after another.
I was busy taking care of the children and Daisy.
This room had been idle.
Later, Daisy used it as a file room.
I never went in again.
I opened the narrow door. What came into my view was a pile of files.
I searched everywhere.
But unexpectedly, I found a hidden door.
After pushing it open, I was shocked.
Inside, there was a round bed,
Besides, there were various kinds of props for fun.
Among them, the most eye-catching things were rows of sexy underwear.
And Daisy had never worn them in front of me.
I took out my cell phone and contacted someone.
"Hello, help me check a person."
Daisy had given me a lot of household expenses over the years.
I saved them up, planning to give her an anniversary gift.
But now they were used to paying for a private detective's fees.
The private detective was quite effective.
In a few days, he sent me all the information about Alana's Honey.
Attached were a few intimate photos of him and Daisy.
On the phone, the private detective reported to me everything in detail.
"James Bright is from the countryside. He is a fellow alumnus of your spouse from the same university."
"According to our investigation, they used to be in a romantic relationship."
"Later, due to James's family background, their parents opposed their being together and forced them to break up."
"They didn't meet again until two years ago."
My mind was in a mess as I listened.
I calculated the time. Daisy should get back together with James half a year after the birth of Javion, Javion.
...
I carefully recalled it.
During that time, Daisy did have a long-term business trip.
And she went back home later and later.
Just at this moment, the door suddenly opened.
I quickly hung up the phone.
Daisy walked in happily.
It seemed that she had discussed how to proceed with James.
I deliberately pretended to know nothing.
I took the initiative to hug her.
I took a deep breath.
"Daisy? Where did you get the smell of men's cologne?"
"I never use these things."
Daisy knew it.
Hearing my question, she instinctively took a breath.
"Men's cologne? Did you smell it wrong?"
After saying that, she pushed me away and planned to take a shower.
Just as she turned around, I suddenly stopped her.
I walked over with a frown.
I could tell that Daisy was nervous now.
I pretended to be puzzled as I touched her collar.
"How did it get dirty? Is this cigarette ash?"
Daisy suddenly turned around and slapped my hand away.
She looked fierce.
"What do you mean by saying this? Do you doubt me?"
I looked at her with some grievances and sighed.
"Daisy, I care about you."
Unexpectedly, Daisy became even more angry upon hearing my words.
"What care! You are doubting me!"
Before I could say anything, Daisy looked at me with disappointment.
"Since that's the case, let's get a divorce."
I didn't expect her to propose a divorce.
I stood still with a frown.
Chapter 6
After she said so, her mood improved significantly.
She sat on the sofa as if a burden had been lifted.
"Jack is still young, so he will be with me. You can take Kimi and Javion with you."
"In addition, I will pay you 20 thousand dollars in child support at once."
After saying so, she couldn't help but play with the ring in her hand.
It was a brand-new diamond ring.
It was intended to be a gift for her anniversary.
She suddenly revealed her cards.
It caught me off guard.
After realizing it, I slowly approached her.
"You are divorcing me and going to be with James, right?"
Hearing my words, Daisy was no longer relaxed.
Looking at me nervously, she asked, "How did you know?"
After a moment of silence, she angrily pushed me away.
"You had someone follow me! Easton Smith! You're so despicable!"
Since we fell out, I might as well stop pretending.
I directly presented the evidence and looked at her, smiling indifferently.
"Daisy Shawn! Who's the despicable one?"
"You've been having an affair for three years. I have the evidence!"
"If you do want to sue for a divorce, how likely do you think you'll win?"
She looked at the evidence in front of her.
Then she glanced at me vigilantly.
"So, what do you want? Do you want to divide the Shawn family's assets?"
Thinking of this possibility, she suddenly burst into laughter.
"It's funny. Easton, you're so funny. You're a grown man. Aren't you embarrassed?"
"Let me tell you, my assets are all prenuptial notarized. They are all under my parents' names. If we get a divorce, you won't get a penny!"
"Even though I have an affair, so what? If you're sensible, you'll take 20 thousand dollars and leave!"
Suddenly, I felt that the woman in front of me was somewhat unfamiliar.
We had been married for six years.
If I did want the Shawn family's assets, I would have countless ways to achieve it.
The fact was that I had never thought about coveting anything from her family.
I had been at home these past few years.
I had some secondary income.
I had never cut off contact with society.
...
But Daisy persistently thought I was living by relying on the Shawn family!
Thinking of this, I was tired.
"Let's sue to get a divorce."
Even if I didn't want a penny, I wanted everyone to know one thing.
I would show everyone who the one at fault was in the end!
Upon hearing the news that we were going to sue for a divorce, my parents-in-law hurried over.
...
They started advising me.
They asked me to endure it for the sake of the children.
"I know Daisy has a bad temper, and she is spoiled."
"It's because your father and I spoiled her. We will talk to her."
"Regardless, you have to consider the children."
I scratched my head in annoyance and handed the report to my in-laws.
"You should take a look at this first."
To my surprise, my mother-in-law gently pushed the report away.
"Easton, who hasn't made mistakes?"
Suddenly, I was disappointed.
It turned out that they had known about this for a long time."
Chapter 7
Daisy had always had a bad temper because her parents spoiled her.
Over the years, my parents-in-law helped me a lot and advised me a lot.
I had always been grateful to them."
When my father-in-law was hospitalized that year, I took care of him for half a year.
I always thought that at least we were a family.
Only until this year did I realize my position.
I suddenly had an urge to burst out laughing.
"Dad, Mom, what if I bring an illegitimate child back now?"
My father-in-law frowned unhappily.
"Easton, my family has not treated you badly in these years."
"One should not lose conscience."
"Well, let's do this. It's Daisy's fault. I will buy you a car later as compensation."
He spoke in a tone of giving alms.
I was disappointed in this family.
I wanted to retort fiercely.
Suddenly, I received a call from the school.
"Hello, your child had an accident."
I didn't have time to explain to them.
I grabbed the car keys and rushed out of the house.
When I arrived at the hospital, the doctor had been waiting.
"The child urgently needed a blood transfusion. Are you the child's father?"
I nodded frantically and rolled up my sleeves.
"Take my blood!"
A nurse immediately took me to get my blood tested.
A few minutes later, the blood test results came out.
"Why don't you call the child's mother over? The blood types don't match."
I frowned instinctively and took the report from her hands.
