Chapter 1
My wife Jean Clark aborted her five-month-old fetus for a cat given by her first love.
My parents couldn't stand the blow and fainted. Even they were admitted to the ICU in time, they failed to be rescued.
I called Jean many times, but she didn't answer.
I held my parents' funeral alone and calmly proposed a divorce to her.
The next time I saw Jean was a week later.
She must have finally turned on her phone and read my message.
As soon as she returned home, she shouted at me angrily, "Ryan, what are you doing?
"It's just a child. Since we're at such a young age, can't we have another child in the future? Why do we must have a baby now?"
I looked at her calmly. I didn't know when the face that I had loved for so many years had become so disgusting.
"No need. We won't have another child in the future. Let's get a divorce."
She was stunned for a moment, perhaps because my tone was too calm.
"I've already asked the lawyer to draft the divorce agreement. Sign it if you have no problem with it."
As I spoke, I handed her the divorce agreement that I had prepared.
Without even looking at it, she tore it into pieces and threw it to the ground angrily.
I chuckled. "Just tear it apart. I'll print it again."
"Ryan, are you done yet?"
Perhaps it was because I had been enduring it patiently that she felt that I was just losing my temper at the moment.
She was my first love. I had a crush on her at first sight, and then I pursued her for four years before she agreed.
Later, we got married.
After two years of sweet married life, we had our first baby.
After getting pregnant, she had a bad temper. She wanted to travel one moment, then go to the bar to listen to music the next.
I was afraid that something would happen to her and wanted to accompany her, but she wouldn't let me.
I had no choice but to ask her best friend to accompany her.
I had always tolerated and spoiled her.
I thought it was normal for hormones to affect her temper when she was pregnant.
However, I saw her photo with her first love Shane Wright on her best friend's Facebook page.
She leaned against Shane's shoulder with a bright smile.
At that moment, I felt as if I had been struck by lightning.
I had never thought that all her changes were caused by the return of the man she had been missing.
My happy family was gone in an instant.
Considering that she was pregnant, I didn't say anything. After she returned back from the travel, I didn't mention anything.
I didn't expect that she could abort our child as soon as Shane sent her a cat.
How cheap am I? My child can't even compare to a cat.
It was ridiculous that she was asking me if I was done yet.
"Sign the divorce agreement, and we'll end it here!"
She stared at me with cold eyes.
I didn't care. "It doesn't matter if you don't sign it. I'll move out today. Let's separate and meet in court later."
"Ryan, how long are you going to make trouble?" Jean shouted angrily.
It was ridiculous that she still thought that I was making trouble.
I didn't look back. I pulled my suitcase to the door and happened to meet Shane, who opened the door and came in with a key in his hand.
He was in such a hurry that he couldn't wait to move in before I left.
I turned to Jean and said, "Did you give him the key?"
"Yes. It's inconvenient for Shane to live alone. I'm afraid that he can't take good care of himself."
He was in his thirties, but he still couldn't take care of himself. Was there something wrong with his intelligence?
No, it wasn't him who had a intelligence problem. It was Jean!
I sneered and said, "Good job. From now on, this house belongs to you. I wish you a happy life.
"I'll send you the divorce agreement. Remember to sign it."
Shane held me back. "Ryan, do you have to be like this? As a man, why do you fuss over such a small matter? Jean and I are just ordinary friends.
"The miscarriage was an accident because of Jean's allergic reaction to cat hair.
"As a man, you should be more generous."
She aborted the baby because she was allergic to cat hair, so why not throw the cat away?
My eyes were cold as I shook off Shane's hand!
"You're a male mistress. What right do you have to teach me a lesson? How dare you ask me to be generous?
"But it makes sense. Only those who can't wait to be a male mistress will ask the husband generous."
Jean said angrily, "Ryan, how can you talk to Shane like that? Apologize to him now."
"Get lost!"
I roared at Jean and pulled my suitcase out of the house.
Chapter 2
Shane grew up together with Jean. He was her childhood sweetheart and first love.
When they were in college, they had already been engaged and planned to get married after graduation.
Later, for some reason, Jean's parents suddenly forbade her from dating Shane, so they broke off contact.
Shane then went abroad. Two years later, Jean's parents suddenly died in a car accident.
Shane came back, and the two of them contacted each other again.
The first time she came back from a trip with Shane, she didn't say anything to me. She thought that I didn't know, but she became bolder and bolder, often going to various places in pairs with Shane.
My parents and the neighbors reminded me several times. I didn't lose my temper and talked to her calmly because she was pregnant.
She said that she just regarded Shane as her elder brother and the person she really loved was me.
I believed her.
At that time, I loved her to the core. If I loved someone, I would choose to believe her.
Now that I thought about it, I was really stupid at that time.
But I din't care anymore. She could live happily with Shane and the cat forever.
I waved my hand and hailed a taxi. Then, I rented a house near the company.
My colleagues all knew about my parents' death and expressed their concern for me. I felt warm in my heart.
"Ryan, please come here."
The manager Elaine Brown called me to her office.
"The company is going to open up a new business in Boston and needs a capable person in charge. I recommended you to the chairman, so I want to ask for your opinion."
I agreed without hesitation.
When my parents were alive, I should not travel far.
Now that my parents were gone, there was nothing worth staying in this city.
In fact, a few years ago, the company asked me if I wanted to go to another city, but I refused.
At that time, my parents were still alive, and Jean had a strong desire to control me. She didn't allow me to go to other cities and wanted me to stay with her and take care of her.
"Don't you need to think about it? Or go home and discuss it with your wife?"
"Manager, I'm divorced."
Elaine was stunned for a moment.
"I'm sorry!"
I shook my head. "Nothing."
Jean was insignificant in my life. She didn't care about me at all. Now, she was probably flirting with her lover.
After that, Elaine announced in front of all my colleagues that she would appoint me as the person in charge of the business in Boston. All of them were happy for me and said that they would hold a farewell party for me.
I did not reject their good intentions. I also wanted to use this method to say goodbye to this city for the last time.
In front of the hotel, I saw Jean again. She was holding Shane's arm. When she saw me, she immediately rushed forward angrily and pointed at Elaine.
"Who is she?"
She didn't change at all. She was still the same as before. She questioned me without asking for the reason.
Disgusted, I coldly replied, "It has nothing to do with you."
"Why not? I'm your wife!"
"Please figure it out. We are divorced."
"Who said we're divorced? We didn't sign the divorce agreement, nor did we get the Decree of Divorce. What right do you have to say that we're divorced?" Jean shouted recklessly.
I hated her even more.
It was the entrance of the hotel. My colleagues and many guests were here for dinner.
She only cared about herself. Except for Shane, she couldn't see anyone else in her eyes.
Shane pointed at me and said angrily, "Ryan, I didn't expect you to be such kind of person. You didn't divorce Jean and got together with another woman. Jean was blind to marry you."
"Shut up!" I rebuked him angrily.
Not only did he insult me, but he also insulted Elaine.
"What's wrong? Are you angry because I hit the nail on the head?"
Shane looked at me provocatively.
The anger on my face intensified. Elaine grabbed me and smiled at Jean. "Miss Clark, I think you misunderstood. I'm Ryan's manager."
"Manager? What kind of manager can seduce your subordinate?" Jean sneered!
"Ryan, I'll give you another chance. Go home immediately. Don't make a fool of yourself here.
"Also, call your parents and ask them to go home immediately. They haven't been home for so long. Don't you know how messy the house is?
"Don't you want to live well anymore?"
You only miss my parents when the house is messy. Weren't you the one who hated them the most when they were around?
I roared like a madman, "Shut up. You don't have the right to mention my parents."
"How dare you shout at me!"
Jean's fingers trembled as she pointed at me.
"Okay, okay, I'll call your parents now and ask them to teach you a lesson."
In the past, she never took the initiative to call my parents. No matter what happened, she always called me. No matter how busy I was, she always asked me to appear in front of her immediately.
But now, she was willing to swallow her pride and take the initiative to call my parents. What the hell.
"Go ahead!" I sneered!.
"Do you think I wouldn't dare?"
Jean took out her phone.
Elaine was stunned. "Miss Clark, don't you know that Ryan's parents have passed away?"
"What did you say?"
Jean stayed where she was.
"Ryan's parents passed away just a week ago. As Ryan's wife, don't you know it?"
