I'd never smoked a pack of cigarettes in just half an hour, and the smoke made my eyes hurt.

Back in the bedroom, I thought that Anna had fallen asleep. As soon as I lay down, she hugged me and was more enthusiastic than before.

"Honey, I have something to discuss with you."

I answered in a low voice.

"How about you go out for a day tomorrow?"

"Why?" I asked. "Isn't tomorrow the weekend?"

Anna explained, "Well. My colleague and... the director will come to our home tomorrow."

Am I embarrassing you?

I didn't say that but replied, "Okay."

"I love you! Honey."

She was so enthusiastic that I almost couldn't control myself.

However, I dodged.

Anna was slightly stunned.

"Honey, what's wrong?"

I made an excuse,

"I'm tired. Let's sleep."

She slept with me in her arms all night, and I broke free from her arms after she fell asleep.

I couldn't forget the intimate scene between her and that man.

The next day, I was driven out by Anna early in the morning and had nowhere to go, so I had to stay in the cafe next to the community.

In the afternoon, I thought Anna's guests had left. When I was about to go back, the cafe owner stopped me.

"Mr. Hampton? The coffee is packed. Do you want me to deliver it to your home?"

Seeing my confused expression, she asked, "Isn't this the coffee you ordered?"

"Ah! Yes, I'll bring back myself."

I knew that this must be what Anna ordered, so I went home with a few cups of coffee. When I was about to open the door, I realized that I didn't bring my key, so I rang the doorbell.

The awkward thing was that it was Anna who opened the door.

She was stunned for a moment, and a male voice called out from inside the room, "Anna, who is that?"

She subconsciously replied, "A delivery man."

At that moment, my heart was broken.

When I handed over the coffee, a tall and handsome man in a suit walked over.

He was stunned when he saw me. Then, he put one hand on Anna's waist and smiled,

"It turns out the coffee has been delivered. Please take it inside."

Anna dodged slightly with an awkward expression.

"You go cut the watermelon, I'll let others help."

Anna pushed the stunned Jonah, bit her lower lip, glanced at me, and closed the door firmly.

At that time, my nose was only an inch away from the door, and I was almost hit.

I stayed in the coffee shop alone until Anna called me to go back in the evening.

"You haven't eaten, have you? I've prepared food for you."

It was a rich dinner, but I had no appetite and only ate a little.

Only then did Anna explain to me, "Well... The reason why I said that during the day was because I..."

"Alright, there's no need to explain. I know it. Because of your career, you have to do this," I interrupted her.

"Yes. That's right. Because of my career."

"That man is your ex-boyfriend and current leader, right?"

"Yes," Anna answered guiltily.

"Are you jealous? I'm just his subordinate now. Please don't misunderstand."

"Okay," I replied and sneered inwardly.

If it weren't for the scene in the parking lot, I would have believed her.

Back in the bedroom, I realized that our wedding photos had been put away and every trace of me in the house had been erased.

I even found that the bed sheet was messy. For some reason, I opened the drawer and counted the condoms, and found one was missing.

The little feeling I had left for Anna vanished at this moment.

We have been married for five years, and I have never even spoken loudly to Anna for fear of scaring her.

For so many years, I cut off contact with my parents just for her.

When she was in a bad mood, I would be sad and try my best to make her happy.

When she competed for the position of general manager, I begged those clients to help her get the order.

Every time we quarreled, I would always compromise first.

I had wanted to have a child, but she expressed her fear of the pain involved in childbirth, so I abandoned the idea. Additionally, as the only son in my family for three generations, my parents wanted me to have kids, despite their disapproval of her.

After we got married, I quit my job and started doing housework at home for her.

While she was showering, I was on the balcony and smoked. Only nicotine could numb my nerves and stop me from thinking about those things.

The word "delivery man" broke my strong heart. I felt humble and ridiculous.

Anna was different tonight. When she came out of the bathroom, she was wearing a sexy purple nightgown and was putting on short stockings on the bed in front of me.

In the past, no matter how much I pleaded with her to wear them, she would never agree. She always claimed to be a conservative woman. However, tonight was the first time she had ever worn them.

Her charming eyes made me absent-minded. It seemed that everything she had done could be forgiven.

"We've been together for so long. Why are you looking at me like that?"

Anna's words pulled me back to reality.

In the past, looking at her seductive expression and movements, I would immediately lose control of myself.

But tonight, every time I thought of that scene between them in the car, it was like cold water was poured down on me, instantly waking me up.

"Hurry up and take a shower. I'll be waiting for you." Anna pushed me into the bathroom like a shy newlywed wife.

I recalled everything and fantasized that she could come back to me. The last glimmer of hope rose in my heart.

We should talk.

After taking a shower, when I was about to talk to her, she suddenly said,

"Honey, I'm going on a business trip tomorrow."

The sexual desire I had just felt disappeared immediately.

"How long will it take?"

Anna's expression was calm as she smiled. "It won't take too long, just a week."

"Who are you traveling with?"

"A colleague." Her expression changed slightly and she didn't dare to look at me.

I knew it must be Jonah.

We didn't have sex tonight.

The next day, I helped her pack her luggage but she refused.

In the past, she was always happy every time I helped her pack because she always forgot to bring something.

While she was not around, I glanced at her suitcase.

She brought some sexy stockings that I had never seen before, and a box of condoms from another brand, which I was sure were not bought by me.

Then I understood why she refused my help in packing her luggage this time.

It took half an hour for Anna to put on delicate makeup and she kept smiling. I had never seen her so happy before.

Even when we were on our honeymoon.

Not long after, a car drove downstairs and honked, alarming everyone in the building.

When Anna heard the horn, she hurried downstairs with her suitcase. Once again, she refused to let me send her downstairs.

"Honey, wait for me. At that time, you can do whatever you want. I will satisfy you."

She kissed my cheek lightly with her cold lips.

In the past, she would kiss me directly on my lips, but I didn't know when she changed.

The next day, my phone rang and it was from my father's secretary.

He told me that my father had a car accident and he was dying.

After learning the bad news, I hesitated and called Anna, hoping that she would come back to accompany me to see my father for the last time.

It was a man who answered her phone.

I suppressed my anger and said, "Ask Anna to answer the phone."

The person on the other end of the line was silent for a moment before speaking slowly.

"Are you Anna's husband? I'm Jonah. She couldn't answer your phone now. She's taking a shower..."

Before he could finish his words, a faint voice came from the other end of the line.

"Honey, who called me?"

"It's your husband."

I was speechless.

I came out of the hospital with a heavy heart and found that there were more than a dozen missed calls and a message on my phone, all from the same person.

"Honey, did you just call me? I was busy with my leader and left my phone in the office. Someone answered it for me. I'll be back in a few days if there's nothing urgent. Love you."

In the end, Anna didn't come back.

A few days later, after attending my father's funeral, I got his will.

There was only one clause in my father's will, which was to divorce Anna and marry the daughter of his comrade-in-arms.

As long as I signed, I could get the inheritance rights to his group worth billions, but when it came to the moment of signing, I hesitated.

I still have a little hope for Anna.

On this day, Anna returned. She was jumping around happily.

It wasn't until she saw me waiting for her downstairs that she restrained her smile and stepped forward to hold my hand.

"Honey, how did you know that I would come back at this time?"

I glanced at Jonah who got out of the car and secretly compared myself with him.

He was a very elegant man. He drove an Audi and wore a suit. Women were easily attracted to him.

Seeing Jonah coming over, Anna's face changed slightly.

"Hello, are you Adonis Hampton? I'm Anna's leader, Jonah Harvey."

Jonah reached out his hand. Out of courtesy, I also reached out my hand. However, before I touched him, he had already taken his hand back.

When Anna saw this scene, she said awkwardly, "I planned to find an opportunity to introduce you to each other, but why don't we do it now."

I took Anna's hand and ignored Jonah. When I was about to go back, Jonah suddenly said,

"Anna, the company just said that there would be an emergency meeting. Have you forgotten?"

Anna looked at me, looking embarrassed, but she soon made a decision.

She shook off my hand and said apologetically, "Honey, you heard it. The company is going to have an emergency meeting."

Before I could speak, she put her luggage and got into Jonah's car.

Watching the car drive away, my fantasy was shattered again.

Anna preferred Jonah.

I carried her luggage upstairs. When I was about to help her put the clothes into the washing machine, I saw a set of used sexy lingerie.

There was only one condom left, and those sexy stockings were also torn a lot.

With indescribable feelings, I helped her organize everything and even put the last unused condom in the drawer for her.

After that, I went to my father's secretary and signed the agreement.

This meant that my relationship with Anna was about to come to an end.

Before I could get home, I received a call from Anna. Her tone was urgent, almost begging.

"Honey, you have to help me. A major client's contract has recently expired and he no longer plans to cooperate. If we lose this major client, Jonah... My leader's position and my position may be lost."

In fact, she was doing it for Jonah. I wanted to hang up the phone, but when I thought of her anxious begging, I couldn't bear it.

"What can I do for you?"

"You helped me with that deal back then. Can you help me again?"

After hesitating for a while, I agreed and made a request.

"Okay, but you have to go with me to a place. My hometown."

My father was usually busy with his work, and his only wish was to go back to the Hampton family's cemetery to pay his respects in person. Now that he passed away, I should help him realize this wish.

I didn't ask Anna to go back with me on a whim.

I wanted to take her through the places we've been before, hoping that it would let her recall some memories of us.

We had been in love for five years, so subconsciously I still couldn't bear to let her go.

Soon, I called the general manager of that major client. After I told him my purpose, he readily agreed and promised to renew the contract.

The reason why the general manager agreed so readily was because he was my college classmate.

Not long after, I received another call from Anna, but she told me another story about the signing.

"Honey, you don't have to contact that client. Jon used his connections to persuade the client to renew the contract. In less than five minutes, the other party signed the contract. We worried for nothing."

Hearing this, I sneered in my heart. She even changed the way she addressed Jonah, so I asked her again.

"What about what you promised me?"

She kept a few minutes of silence. Finally, she said in an apologetic tone, "Honey, the company has been expanding its business recently. I can't leave. I may go back late at night or even spend the night in the company recently."
