I begged Fannie for 100 times. She finally agreed to go to Los Angeles with me and my father.

But even after my father passed away with regret, she still didn't show up.

However, her secretary, Evan, posted a photo of the two of them snuggling up to each other.

"Wherever I want to go, even if it is far away, she will accompany me."

Looking at the location less than two kilometers away from me, I called to question her, but she answered nonchalantly.

"I've always been like this. If you can't stand it, we can divorce."

This was the 101st time she had proposed a divorce.

This time, I didn't say no, but she regretted it.

——

I dealt with my father's funeral alone.

In just a few hours, Evan had posted countless videos.

The two of them rode horses, took photos, and went to the pub together.

Fannie, who had never updated her post, forwarded someone's post for the first time.

This could be regarded as an official announcement of their relationship.

The comments were full of cheers, saying that they were a perfect match.

I wanted to slip away, but the scene stung my heart.

They were a match. But what about me, her registered husband?

I was nothing.

After all, Fannie was willing to travel across half a country for him, but she was not willing to travel two more kilometers for me.

I begged her a hundred times, but they couldn't compare with one word from Evan.

I sent a single word to her, "Okay."

A few hours later, she called. Her tone was cold and distant.

"You always make a fuss. Can you stop?"

I was at a loss for words. Every time we quarreled, it was Fannie who proposed a divorce.

She knew that I loved her and that I couldn't bear to leave her.

Therefore, every time she was guilty, she would say coldly, "Divorce if you can't stand it."

In the past six years, I compromised a hundred times.

This was the 101st time. I don't want to compromise again.

I chose to divorce her as she wished.

I took a deep breath and said, "My father has passed away. We don't have to live like actors for the sake of his health."

After a moment of silence, she softened her tone.

"I don't know that! Wait for me. I'll go and be at your side right now."

I waited for an hour. But it suddenly rained.

As I ran to take shelter from the rain, I suddenly felt the world spinning.

A strong sense of suffocation hit me. I lost my balance and rolled down the slope. My head hit the ground heavily, and I lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, I was lying in the hospital with my head wrapped in thick gauze.

There was no one beside me.

The nurse said that I had a slight concussion due to altitude sickness and needed to stay in the hospital for two days.

For two days, I didn't see Fannie. I only saw Evan update his social media constantly.

"I got wet in the rain and caught a cold. Fortunately, she took good care of me."

"She made the chicken soup herself today. I'm so touched."

"In the past two days when I was sick, she didn't leave me for a moment. It's the best thing in my life to meet her."

I remembered that not long ago, I asked Fannie to cook a bowl of ginger soup for me in my illness.

She looked impatient.

"Edwin, I'm not those ordinary women! My hands are used to break through my career, not to wash clothes and cook for you. If you don't like it, you can divorce and find someone else!"

In fact, she was willing to do those things, but she was unwilling to do them for me.

I was in a trance.

Evan was a college student sponsored by me. After graduation, he worked as an intern in our company.

Back then, Fannie hated him very much and complained to me all day long that he was stupid.

But somehow, she had mentioned him more and more often in front of me.

She communicated less and less with me.

Until now we were like strangers.

It was Evan's greatest fortune to have met Fannie.

However, it was a life-long regret for me to have met Fannie.

I didn't want to continue. So I sent a message to Fannie, saying that I would divorce her at the City Clerk's Office after I went back.

This time, she replied very quickly.

"I have something urgent to attend to.

"Stop fooling around. Wait for me at the airport tomorrow. I'll go back with you."

I didn't continue to wait for her like a fool.

I bought a ticket and boarded the plane.

On the plane, I had a long dream.

In my dream, I was deeply in love with Fannie. Evan did not appear.

She wanted to start a business, so I gave her all my savings to support her.

She needed more support. So I resigned to take care of her.

Step by step, we moved from the rental apartment to the villa in city center and changed from an electric car to a Rolls-Royce.

She made a name for herself and our relationship was the same as ever. We used to be a loving couple in our circle.

Everything changed on the day when she had a miscarriage and I was injured in a car accident.

I didn't dare to continue to recall and struggled to wake up from my dream.

When the plane landed, I took a taxi home.

It was not until late at night on the third day that Fannie came back.

"Didn't I tell you to wait for me? Why did you break your promise?"

Suddenly waking up, I had a headache and asked in a daze, "Do you want me to wait for you at the airport alone for three days and three nights?"

Fannie pursed her lips and said, "Forget it. I don't want to argue with you. Get up and cook me a bowl of noodles."

I didn't answer and rolled up my quilt, continuing to sleep.

Fannie threw away her suitcase unhappily and said, "How unfortunate I am to have married a man like you."

With that, she slammed the door and left.

I didn't set the alarm clock and slept until I woke up naturally.

According to my last routine, I would have gotten up at six o'clock, ironed her clothes, and cooked for her.

However, Fannie was not satisfied with the clothes that I had ironed. She thought Evan did a better job than me.

She thought that the light dishes I cooked were tasteless.

When the food was strong enough, she complained it was greasy and unhealthy.

The food I made in a few hours could not compare to a bowl of noodles made by Evan.

Since that was the case, there was no need for me to serve her so enthusiastically.

But today, Fannie prepared breakfast herself.

She ate her porridge without raising her head.

"I'm sad about your father's death, but you don't have to mess with me on such a day."

"What day?" I was stunned.

She took out a gift box from behind her.

"Edwin, you really disappointed me. You've even forgotten our sixth anniversary..."

Halfway through her sentence, she was stunned.

"What happened to your head?"

"When you were cooking chicken soup for Evan, I just finished dealing with my father's funeral. Altitude sickness made me roll down the hill, knocking on stones and getting wet."

I spread out my hands. "It's no big deal. His cold is more serious."

Fannie looked at me with her blue eyes, which were full of emotions that I couldn't understand.

After a long while, she said, "Let's eat first. You like seafood porridge. Let's see if you like the gift after you finish eating."

"No need. Today is July 20th, but our wedding anniversary is June 20th.

"It's been a month. By the way, I'm allergic to seafood."

I didn't want a gift that was too late.

I didn't want love and care that was too late.

It was Evan who loved seafood porridge.

It was also Evan who liked gifts.

All the time all I wanted was her company.

Fannie was silent for a moment.

"I've been too busy with work recently. I just went on a business trip to Los Angeles. Don't think too much. Evan is young. There's no need for you to mind a young man. Besides, there's nothing between me and him..."

At the mention of Evan, Fannie became talkative.

I couldn't be bothered to expose her. The two of them only booked one room on their business trip.

So I said perfunctorily, "You're right."

Sensing my attitude, Fannie was a little unhappy.

She threw down her fork and knife heavily.

"Edwin, don't be so unreasonable. You're a man, but you rely on me to feed you. What are you dissatisfied with?"

I didn't reply. I was reading the divorce agreement sent by the lawyer.

Fannie continued to lecture me. "I'm talking to you. What are you doing?

"You read stupid novels on the Internet all day long. So you're stupid as well. Can't you learn from Evan? See how smart and decent he is."

In the past, I would definitely feel inferior and sad when I heard that.

I would doubt myself and tremble with apprehension.

In the end, I would humbly apologized to Fannie.

But now, I only felt that she was annoying.

"I have something to do, so I'll go first."

"Edwin, I haven't finished yet!"

She reached out to pull me, but I avoided her touch in disgust.

She had never listened to me carefully for so many years.

Every time I was a little naggish, she would be unhappy. Then she would slam the door and leave. I was alone at home feeling sad.

She was not the only one in this house who could leave and go back as pleased.

I didn't want to see her again, so I drove straight to the lawyer's office.

After discussing the details of the assets division, I saw a message from Fannie.

"There's something urgent. Come to my company."

For me, it didn't matter if something happened to her. But if something happened to the company, I would get less money.

As soon as I arrived at the front desk, I heard a burst of laughter.

The girls at the front desk called Evan with a smile.

"Evan, you're right. As long as you send a message through Mrs. Murphy's phone, he will run over happily like a pug."

Soon Evan came out of the elevator.

"Edwin, are you here for Mrs. Murphy? She's busy and doesn't want to see outsiders."

He deliberately emphasized the word "outsider".

Now, in everyone's eyes, Evan was Fannie's acknowledged lover.

As a live-in son-in-law, I was just an outsider.

I pointed at the group of people who had laughed at me just now. "You guys, pack up and leave."

This company was founded by Fannie and I. I owned a lot of shares. It would be a piece of cake for me to sack a few employees.

Evan immediately put on a straight face.

"What right do you have to show off here? Mrs. Murphy and I will take care of everything."

I couldn't be bothered to argue. Just as I was about to call Fannie, I saw her walking over.

"Why are you here?"

I thought that she would be angry. After all, every time I came to her before, she felt that I had embarrassed her and was very impatient with me.

But this time, there seemed to be a hint of pride in her tone.

Evan was the first to complain.

"I don't know why Edwin made such a scene as soon as he arrived. He said that I seduced you and wanted to fire us."

"Edwin!" Fannie's face immediately turned cold.

"I can accept that you are stupid and ugly, but your suspicious look makes me sick."

She sighed again. "I really regret marrying you."

The girls around them covered their mouths and sneered.

Evan looked at me with a victorious look.

But it was strange that I didn't feel anything.

Or perhaps, I had already known that Fannie would say that.

When she first cheated on me, our friends advised her not to abandon a lover who started the business with her hand in hand.

She said, "Do you know how suffocating he is? Anyone who is with him can't help having an affair. He deserves to be abandoned by his family.

"He makes a fuss about everything and doesn't care about his own figure. He is a failure."

I gained weight to help her socialize.

After knowing what she had said, I felt inferior and frustrated all day long.

Food made me nauseous.

I got stomach problems because of this.

Then I didn't dare to attend any dinner party or meet anyone.

My weight was under control gradually, but my stomach disease could not be cured.

As a result, I had always been weak.

"Why don't you say anything? Are you feeling guilty? No wonder we lost Alyssa. A man like you doesn't deserve to be a husband or a father."

At the mention of the lost child, my heart suddenly ached.

Every time we quarreled, Fannie would hurt me the most effective way.

She forced me to get angry and argue with her and then laughed at my hysteria with a smug expression.

But this time, I was very calm.

"Then don't force yourself. I've already prepared the divorce agreement. Let's get a divorce."

I handed the divorce agreement to Fannie and pulled off a strand of brownish-yellow hair from her body.

Fannie was flustered slightly.

"It's not what you think..." She quickly recovered and sighed. "Don't make a fool of yourself. I don't have the patience to forgive and tolerate you again and again."

I continued to stare at her and saw that she was beginning to panic.

Then, I tried my best to remain calm and said something that I had been trying to say for a long time.

"You don't deserve to mention Alyssa. I already know the real reason why you had a miscarriage on the day I was injured."

The day of the miscarriage was the turning point of our marriage.

It was also the beginning of Fannie and Evan's affair.

I had been avoiding the cruel truth for a long time. Now, I had to make up my mind to face it.

"Edwin!" Fannie panicked.

I said despite my heartache. "Do you want me to tell the truth in front of so many people here?"
