My Husband Died Shortly After He Divorced Me Chapter 1

As I received Gavin Hogan’s physical examination report, he filed for divorce from me and asked me to leave the house with nothing.

He said, “Rosalyn is the person I love most in this world. I can't let her suffer any injustice. I want to marry her.”

I stared at Gavin’s shameless expression, unable to fathom how someone could be so fickle. Perhaps he had not changed at all; maybe he had just hidden it better before.

Seeing that I was silent, Gavin spoke impatiently, “Leticia, didn't you get together with me because you saw that I had potential? I have raised you for so many years and let you live the life of a wealthy wife. I had given you enough.

“As long as you agree to divorce, I will not let you suffer any loss in the division of property. I will give you half of the money too.”

Hearing that, I could not help but sit up straighter. Seeing Gavin’s impatient expression brought back memories of when we first got together.

At that time, he had just broken up with Rosalyn Hays, his sweetheart.

He turned to pursue me and I originally refused, but Gavin said that he had not liked Rosalyn for a long time. The breakup was something that had been planned for a long time.

At that time, he was affectionate and persistent. 

Gradually, I was moved by him. 

Then, I helped him start a business. 

Whenever he failed, or when no one believed in him, I was the one who encouraged him.

“Gavin, you are a potential stock, you will definitely succeed!” I would say that in the past, or something like, “The failures now are just episodes and the success in the future is inevitable.”

In the end, with my company, Gavin finally succeeded.

Unexpectedly, the first thing he did after he became rich was to be with Rosalyn. He treated me as nothing.

He justified it by saying, “I must make up for my regrets from the past, otherwise what is the point of making money?”

Gavin made me realize how stupid it was to help a man start from scratch.

I told him coldly, “Divorce is fine, as long as you leave the house with nothing.”

Hearing my cold retort, Gavin widened his eyes and looked at me as if I were a madman.

He spoke angrily, “Leticia, why do you want me to leave the house with nothing? I am the one who earns all the money in the house and I have always been the one running the company.”

“Oh, so you don't want to? Then forget it.”

Anyway, I would not get a divorce unless he could give up all his property for me. So, I just calmly sat on the sofa playing with my phone after that.

Only after Gavin slammed the door and left did I slowly take out the medical examination report.

After waiting for so long, it finally happened.

The words ‘late-stage lung cancer’ were clearly written on Gavin's physical examination report.

Gavin himself did not know yet that his retribution was about to come.

The first time I discovered that Gavin was cheating was the second month after his company went public.

Gavin had just finished a press conference. After that, he started to work overtime and travel frequently. 

He always came home later and later, until I started to get suspicious. 

I decided to rent a private detective. Not long after, he put the results of the investigation in front of me.

I then found out that Gavin used the company's funds to buy a house for Rosalyn as a place to keep his mistress.

They often went on dinner and movie dates together, even kissing at the highest point of the Ferris wheel.

How romantic.

However, when I threw the information in front of Gavin, he just let out a long sigh and shamelessly said to me, “I love Rose. Over the years, I have never forgotten her.”

“The ultimate goal of my efforts is just to be with her again.”

So I had been just a tool for him all along?

That time, a word popped into my mind. ‘Divorce.’

But in the end, I was still unwilling. Why could I let Rosalyn take away half of my victory?

At that time, Gavin's net worth had already exceeded 100 million. It was absolutely impossible to give away such a huge fortune, right?

Right after that, I started a cold war with Gavin.

He no longer hid his relationship behind me. Instead, Gavin began to be with Rosalyn openly.

He even recruited Rosalyn into his own company and made her his secretary, making everyone in the company know that Rosalyn was Gavin's lover.

Then, starting that time, I became a complete joke. A wife who did not belong.

In order to divert my attention, I could only go shopping recklessly, using the method to ease the pain in my heart.

By the way, when Rosalyn came to the door, I pretended to be sad and said, “Gavin has always complained that I control him too much, which is why he cheated on his wife.

“If I had known I would not have interfered in his life. Although he likes to smoke, drinks frequently and has an irregular lifestyle, these are not a big deal.”

Rosalyn on the opposite side heard what I said, her eyes lit up and she looked at me with a little contempt.

“Leticia, I am the only person in the world who understands Gavin the best. You should be more sensible and divorce him before he completely gets tired of you. You can get more compensation. Otherwise, if you delay it any longer, you will get nothing.”

Afterwards, Rosalyn tried even harder to please Gavin in order to get him to divorce me.

Of course, I was very happy to see it happen.

Whenever Gavin wanted to drink, she would accompany him.

The time Gavin decided to smoke again, she would encourage him.

So, after Gavin and Rosalyn got together, they felt the long-lost freedom and unrestrained happiness.

However, Rosalyn did not know if Gavin had lung problems. The doctor even had warned Gavin long ago that he had to never touch cigarettes or alcohol again. 

That was why I restricted him. And actually, under my careful care, his health was gradually recovering.

But it was Gavin himself who chose to rebel. As a result, the cancer cells began to spread.

Well, it suited the condition so perfectly. 

That was why, after tearing up the medical examination report in my hand, I stood up in a good mood and went to pick up my daughter from school.

Later, I saw if Gavin also gave a like to the post Rosalyn had just posted on Instagram Story.

I wished her and Gavin and cherished each other's life.

After picking up my daughter, I took her to Disneyland, which she had been talking about for a long time.

We enjoyed all the rides and the snacks there. 

After all, Gavin was dying, so we had to celebrate properly.

My daughter asked me calmly while drinking juice, “Mom, are you very happy today? Have you decided to divorce Gavin?”

Ever since she found out that Gavin had an affair, my daughter refused to call him dad anymore.

She had been telling me to dump that jerk and started a new life. But I kept saying no.

Besides the fact that I did not want to help this couple get together, the most important reason was money.

So, I answered her question happily, “It's more joyful than divorce. After all, our good days are coming soon.”

As long as Gavin died, I could inherit billions of assets without any effort. So, let's just hang on for a little longer.

But in front of my daughter, I held back my devilish laughter and just enjoyed the day.

After we had finished, we went home and had a good sleep.

But I never expected to see Rosalyn standing at my door early the next morning.

Rosalyn held her waist with one hand and a gentle look appeared on her face.

I looked at her in surprise and asked, “What are you doing here?” 

Rosalyn's eyes were provocative and complacent, she went straight to the point.

“Gavin loves me, what's the point of you pestering him all the time? Do you think he will come back to you if you don't divorce him? That's impossible, since we already have a child together.”

It suddenly dawned on me.

“Oh, it turns out you are pregnant. No wonder Gavin has been persistently talking to me about divorce during this period of time,” I said while looking at her with boredom.

Seeing my indifferent reaction, Rosalyn's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness.

“Leticia, you can't even give birth to a son, no wonder Gavin doesn't like you. And your daughter will definitely not get a penny in the future. She is a money loser because Gavin’s money will definitely belong to us.

“Ah, for your information, I have checked it and my child is a son.”

When Gavin and Rosalyn were together, his parents also supported it, because I did not want to have a second child.

Well, I did not care about it.

But, when seeing Rosalyn 's confident look, I raised my hand and slapped her.

“Try to say something mean again, I will make sure the thing in your belly might die at birth.”

Rosalyn was stunned by my attack. 

She jumped around for so long and I did not react at all.

She probably did not expect that I would hit someone, so there was resentment in her eyes when she yelled, “Leticia, if you dare to hit me, Gavin will not let you go, you…."

I simply closed the door to block out her dog's barking.

As a result, Gavin came to see me again in the afternoon.

At that time, the young man I hired was studying with me.

Beautiful French sentences float in the air like notes. It was simply a pleasure on earth.

There was such a big forest in the world, why should I be so depressed and hang myself on a tree?

The time Gavin pushed the door open angrily, he saw the handsome guy sitting opposite me and felt like a rooster with its neck strangled for a moment.

He pointed at the handsome guy with a shaking finger and yelled, “Leticia, you dare to cheat? You even brought a strange man home without my permission?”
