The husband and his dream lover were traveling by car, but they had a car accident on the road and his dream lover died on the spot.

The husband was so heartbroken that he locked himself in his room for a whole month.

When we walked out of the room again, he changed his attitude and no longer showed resistance to me, but instead expressed his love in a high-profile manner.

He has always been afraid of snakes, but he even raised a snake just to have something to talk about with me.

Everyone thought that I had finally gotten my due and would be able to grow old with my lover.

But I filed for divorce in front of many relatives and friends.

Everyone was shocked, and some even suspected that I had a terminal illness and that was why I retreated.

My husband collapsed and grabbed my shoulders: "What are you making a fuss about? I've already given you everything I have."

I pushed him away coldly: "All of yours? I didn't say I wanted it!"

My words were like a bolt of thunder, exploding at the scene.

Ethan Sterling backed away, biting his head, and looked at me with a look of despair in his eyes.

"Vivian Reed, aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

"On the day we got married, you swore to God that you would be with me forever, or else you would die. What are you doing now?"

His appearance of being in so much pain made everyone around him feel distressed.

My mother was the first one who couldn't stand it anymore. She rushed over to hug him and comforted him:

"Ethan, Vivian must be drunk and talking nonsense."

"Don't be sad. When she sobers up, I'll teach her a lesson for you."

As she spoke, she winked at the people around her, indicating that they should take me away.

But I clearly didn't drink a single glass and was very sober. Divorce was a decision I had thought about for a long time.

I shook off the person who tried to pull me away and shouted:

"Don't pull me in. I'm getting a divorce today."

I took the divorce agreement out of my pocket and threw it on the table, splashing soup all over Ethan.

He cried out in pain and looked at me with tears in his eyes.

Before, if he made a casual cut on me, I would feel heartbroken for a long time.

But now, looking at his painful and sad expression, my heart was not moved at all.

My mother fell silent after seeing the large words on the divorce agreement. She trembled for a long time before uttering a word:

"Daughter, are you having some hardship? Are you facing any difficulties? Tell us and we can solve it together!"

"You pursued Ethan for so long, wanting to give your life to him. You suffered a lot at the hands of his parents just to marry him. You've endured all these years. Why do you suddenly want a divorce?"

My mother watched me grow up, so naturally she didn't want to believe that I, who had always been kind, would be such a bad girl who let others down.

Even found a way for me.

I looked at the sad expression on her face, tried hard to swallow the words in my heart, and said sternly:

"There's no other reason, I'm just tired of it and don't love it anymore."

Hearing this, Ethan rushed towards me and raised his hand to slap me, but I dodged it.

His eyes were red and he held his chest with one hand, as if he was about to faint at any moment.

"Vivian, are you still bothered by my past with Serena?"

"But I already told you, we were just out on a road trip, nothing happened, and she's gone now. I'll live a good life with you in the future. During this time, I've also been trying my best to make up for what I've done to you before."

"I can't cook, but I learned to make healthy meals for you. I even raised a good baby because I wanted to have more common topics with you, even though he is afraid of snakes. How far do I have to go before you accept me?"

He stretched out his hands to show everyone the wounds on his hands caused by a knife while cooking, which made me look even more ungrateful.

For a moment, everyone pointed at me, and all kinds of condemning words kept coming into my ears.

"My husband is so considerate, but I don't know how to cherish him. What's the difference between him and a beast?"

"Besides, everyone has a past. Now that woman is dead, and Ethan has promised to live a good life, why is he still holding on to it?"

I sneered, unfazed by the words around me.

Ethan may have a past, but what bothers me is that her past has no past.

In the first month when he started to change, I thought I had gotten what I wanted, but when the truth was laid out before me, it gave me a slap in the face.

Seeing that I remained unmoved, Ethan's eyes flashed with panic, and he held my hand tightly.

"Vivian, I believe you must have your reasons. We are husband and wife. Tell us and we will face it together."

"We have money. I can hire the best doctors in the country. If they don't work in China, I can go abroad. No matter where we go, I want to be with you. Please don't leave me alone."

In this relationship, I have always been the one who is humble and subservient, and this is the first time I have seen him lower himself for me.

If it were before, I would be so happy.

But now, I still repeat that sentence:

"Sign the divorce agreement, I want a divorce!"

The expression on Ethan's face shattered and tears fell uncontrollably.

My parents stood aside, looking disappointed:

"You rebellious girl, if you dare to divorce me, I will treat you as dead and I will no longer have you as my daughter."

"Dad, Mom, I know my own affairs. I will not waver in this divorce."

I raised my head stubbornly, looking as if I would not give in.

When my dad saw this, he got even angrier and picked up the cup on the table and threw it at me, but he didn't expect Ethan to help me block it.

The cup hit Ethan's forehead, leaving a bump. He begged:

"Dad, don't do it. If she gets hurt, I'll be sad."

His deep affection became evidence of my worthlessness in the eyes of everyone.

There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. It was Ethan's parents.

They were well-known for being crazy about doting on their daughters. When I first came to propose marriage to them, they made me kneel in the heavy rain for three days to test me.

After getting married, I worked hard to improve myself in order to prove to them that I was worthy of Ethan. I suffered a lot in the process, but I never regretted it.

It was not until I met their standards that I started my own research career.

Eleanor Sterling rushed to me and wanted to punch me, but Ethan held her tightly and she couldn't move.

"Mom, don't do anything. This is our own business. We will solve it."

Eleanor looked at her with a distressed look on her face: "If no one had told Mom, I wouldn't have known that you had suffered so much."

She looked at me, her eyes wanting to peel off my skin and pull out my tendons: "You beast, you said so nice things when you first came to me, but now you are blindly hurting Ethan. I was wrong about you."

"But let me tell you, our Sterling family is no pushover. You humiliated my son like this, and I will make you pay."

Given the Sterling family's status in Riverside City, I knew she wasn't joking, but I wasn't shaken at all.

Ethan's face turned pale and he looked at me pitifully: "Vivian, hurry up and admit your mistake to Mom and say you were just joking."

"Let's just forget about this. Let's go home and live a good life together from now on. I can do whatever you want."

I glanced around and saw no one was on my side.

But the more this happened, the more determined I became. I took a deep breath and repeated, "I will not go back with you. My only request is a divorce."

There was a burst of sighs from everyone present, and they all cursed me, saying that I was betraying their sincerity and would be hit by a car if I went out.

I didn't take it to heart and turned away resolutely amid all the strange looks and curses.

It was not until I went out that I realized I was like duckweed in the sea, with no one to rely on.

I finally took out a few cards from my pocket, but there were only a few dozen dollars in them.

Over the years, I worked day and night, but gave all the money to Ethan to support him in buying everything he wanted.

I have no complaints about this.

By the way, even when he and Serena went on a road trip, the car they bought was bought with my money.

A bittersweet feeling welled up in my heart. I had worked hard for most of my life, but ended up with such a result. It was really a bit depressing.

But on second thought, compared to the real reason why Ethan and I divorced, this didn't seem to matter.

The next morning, I went to the research institute where I worked.

As soon as I reached the door, I heard all kinds of criticism from my colleagues.

"Serena is divorcing her husband and I don't know if she got kicked in the head by a donkey to do this."

"Her husband is handsome, rich, and considerate. He travels a long way to the institute every day to bring her food."

"I really don't know how to appreciate my blessings. If it were me, I would have offered it to you long ago."

When I pushed the door open, they all shut their mouths, but they looked at me as if I were some kind of garbage.

Yes, during this period of time, Ethan has been delivering meals to me every day, and these colleagues have also gained a lot of benefits, so naturally they are on his side.

I didn't want to argue with them, so I put on my clothes and prepared to observe the new snake.

But then Ethan came trotting in from the door.

He was sweating profusely and was holding an insulated box and a bag in his hands.

"Vivian, I'm here to bring you food. You have a bad stomach, so you must eat on time. I made you your favorite lotus root and bone soup."

"And this is the protective suit I personally made for you. The materials are all carefully selected by me. This way, you will be safer when dealing with those snakes, and I can rest assured."

He handed me what he had in his hand, revealing countless Band-Aids on it.

My colleagues all looked at me enviously and flattered me, saying, "Mr. Sterling is very clever and can cook and sew, unlike my wife who can't do anything."

"I dream of marrying a man like Mr. Sterling."

I looked at the man who was speaking and said bluntly, "It just so happens that we are getting divorced. Once we divorce, you can marry him."

The surroundings fell silent instantly.

Ethan didn't expect me to say that, and his eyes suddenly turned red:

"Vivian, do you really have to push me away like this?"

I didn't respond, but took the things from his hand and threw them all into the trash can when he thought I was wavering.

"Garbage stays where garbage is!"
