He had a smile on his face, with dimples faintly visible, but it no longer captivated me.

It seemed like he was looking forward to my surprise.

It was as if the confrontation half an hour ago had never happened.

I glanced at my abdomen and decided not to tell him that I was pregnant.

As for the 50 million dollars in the lottery, it had nothing to do with him.

"The necklace is nice, but I don't like it. It might be more suitable to give it to Amy."

I pressed down his hand that was about to put the necklace on me.

I had never liked pearls, and Shaw had always been aware of this.

On the other hand, Amy was particularly fond of collecting pearl jewelry. He had done a lot of research on pearls to cater to her preferences, and could be considered half an expert now.

His hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Are you still angry? Is it necessary to celebrate an anniversary? I have carefully chosen a gift for you, what else do you want?"

It could be seen that this string of pearls was indeed carefully selected by him.

As for the intention behind the carefully chosen gift, I couldn't be bothered to reveal it.

I covered the box and pushed the gift aside.

"I don't want anything. It's just an anniversary. Whether we celebrate it or not, it's fine. You should make Amy happy and strive for a promotion. So, since it's still early, you should go to the company quickly and don't make it difficult for her. Among the dozen or so people under her, only you are useful."

Shaw couldn't help but frown.

Because I said everything he wanted to say.

After listening to my calm and familiar long speech, he scrutinized me displeasedly for a while.

When he realized that I was not really angry and not playing tricks on him, he grabbed my hand tightly.

"I was unclogging the sewer all night yesterday. Look at how heavy my dark circles are! This time, I should have solved the core problem. Even if it gets blocked again, it won't be as serious. Moreover, she promised me that I will be in charge of the latest project!"

"Oh, then congratulations in advance."

"Shaw, let's get divorced."

Just the thought of him going to Amy's house every few days to unclog the sewer makes my stomach churn.

"What did you just say?"

"What divorce?"

Shaw widened his eyes and stared blankly for a while before saying.

"Jane! What are you causing trouble for again? Are you divorcing me just because I helped a female boss with a favor? I've never heard such a ridiculous reason for divorce!"

"I've already apologized to you and specially took leave to accompany you on our anniversary. If you don't like the gift, I can choose another one for you. What are you unsatisfied with? Why do you make such a fuss?"

"If it weren't for wanting you to live the rich life, would I need to stoop so low as to unclog the sewer for a female boss?"

"I owe all my achievements today to her guidance and promotion. Without her, we wouldn't have a worry-free life. Now you want to divorce me over this trivial matter. Where does that leave her?"

"She said I shouldn't spoil you like this, and she was right! Look at how ugly you look now, being jealous and suspicious all the time."

I looked at him in disbelief.

Every time Amy called, he was so happy that he wanted to rush to work on a flying wheel.

I could recite his perfunctory explanations for three years.

Didn't that high-end residential area have property management? Couldn't she call professional plumbers?

I even enthusiastically found several reliable and cost-effective plumbers for him, just because I was worried that he would not handle things well and affect his future.

But he told me that Amy was a woman, and it was not safe to have the male plumber come to the door so late at night.

But he forgot that on the night when the water pipe burst, he impatiently asked me to find someone to fix it myself.

At that time, he didn't worry at all about his wife being alone at home.

I took a deep breath and swallowed all the past grievances.

"How can you call helping her a stupid thing? If she knows you think like this, she might not call you next time."

"Divorce is for your own good, so that you don't have to suffer so much for me. It's better for me not to be your wife."

Since I was willing to endure hardships with him, I am not someone who sought wealth and status. If he truly found his superior difficult to work with, he could simply resign and not work there anymore.

He insisted on claiming to do things for my own good, but he had done nothing but harm me along with his female boss.

"Nonsense! Unreasonable!"

My words were like ignited gunpowder, which made Shaw angrily slam the door and leave.

After he left, I tidied myself up and went to the company.

Just downstairs, I ran into David, my boss.

"Jane, why did I hear from HR that you are going to resign?"

Yesterday I found out that I was pregnant using a pregnancy test. Thinking that I had won fifty million, I confidently submitted my resignation letter to my employer.

"It was nothing. I just got confused for a moment yesterday."

David immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"I thought it was that project that scared you away. It's okay if you don't want to challenge the difficulty. There are also many new projects that suit you."

David was my senior, and he had always been grooming me for higher positions. But I resigned to become Shaw's wife.

"I want to try the project in France."

David immediately stopped and looked at me with joy.

"Jane, are you serious?"

I nodded.

"Can your partner agree to it?"

I knew that my previous thoughts of being a housewife have caused David a lot of headaches.

But he also respected my choice and did not interfere too much.

"My career is more important. Besides, I'm planning to get a divorce."

David tried to comfort me, but didn't know where to start.

Because he witnessed the ten years of my love and acquaintance with Shaw.

"David, don't worry, I will definitely focus on my career in the future!"

"Good! I believe you!"

He no longer mentioned Shaw to me.

We had a whole day meeting for the project in French, and basically determined the team's travel plan and project development policy.

By the time I finished my work, it was already time to get off work.

Picking up my phone, I realized that Shaw had called me more than ten times.

In the past, even if he called me once, I would be happy and spinning in the office.

But at this moment, I felt no joy, but rather a bit annoyed.

This was the feeling of him being constantly bombarded by phone calls from me.

Indeed, it was very annoying.

"After a busy day, let's go eat together and discuss the details?"

Today's meeting still had many details that I was not sure about. Faced with David's invitation, I did not refuse.

I didn't answer Shaw's call and went directly to the restaurant with David.

When the waiter took us to the seat, coincidentally, Shaw and Amy were sitting next to us.

David coldly glanced at them and asked the waiter to change our seats.

I knew, as smart as he was, he had already guessed why I wanted a divorce.

"Jane, you don't reply to messages or answer calls, but you have time to have dinner with the boss?"

When we were leaving, Shaw quickly stopped us.

"I was busy, I didn't check my phone."

Shaw's face immediately turned black.

"Then how do you have time to accompany him for a meal?"

"Don't you know that Amy and I have been waiting for you here for a whole hour?"

I was a little stunned.

Amy explained with a smile.

"Last night's incident caused trouble for you two, it's my fault. I wanted to invite you to have a meal together, clarify the misunderstanding, and make up for your anniversary yesterday."

I couldn't help but laugh.

Whose anniversary was celebrated by three people together?

"You are exaggerating. Shaw helped you all night, and I also received money. Where is the misunderstanding from?"

David suddenly hugged my shoulder, separating me from Shaw.

"Do you mind if I join? After all, it doesn't sound right for three people to celebrate an anniversary."
