"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."
