“No, you’ve gotten it wrong, Yulia! I’ve had to attend various important occasions lately, so I’ve needed something else to match my look. I didn’t forget about our rings.” Joseph was still trying to defend himself.

I once asked him to put on another ring when his business started growing. Our ring did not really match his outfit.

However, he insisted on wearing it. He wanted to tell everyone that I was his beloved woman and future wife.

Unfortunately, it did not take long for him to stop bringing me into his social circle. He also spoke ambiguously when it came to his relationship status.

I was fine with it because I trusted him. But after my recent discovery, I found my life with him a joke.

“Yulia, stop crying. I don’t want this ring; I want ours.” Joseph took off his ring and threw it into the trash can. Getting flustered, he tried searching for his old ring.

After a long while, he sat before me in disappointment as if he had made a mistake.

I looked at him coldly, but I could not bring myself to scold or comfort him. “Joe, stop looking for it.”

He could probably tell that something was off with my tone. He hugged me tightly and spoke in a shaky voice. “Let’s get a pair of customized rings, okay? I’ll order them.”

I was no longer interested in such things. “Sure.” I feigned happiness and replied.

“Yulia, did something happen? Did your mother make you sad today? Don’t be scared. I’ll always be with you, love you, and adore you,” Joseph promised as if he truly yearned to make me happy. However, reality had torn his lies apart.

“Mm, okay.” I got up and continued packing my luggage. I could sense him watching me. Anyway, I only took a few clothes with me.

“Aren’t you going to bring the doll?” Joseph asked before he handed me a shabby doll. He made it for me when we first got together, and I had kept it for ten years. Although my eyes were still teary, I smiled gently. “No. I’ll be back in a few days.”

I left with my small luggage. Before I started searching for a suitable house, I needed to confirm one thing.

So, I went to the hospital. As I waited for my turn, I suddenly thought about checking the surveillance system at home.

Joseph and I had rescued a stray cat and brought it home a few years ago. We set up a surveillance system in the house because we were worried about it.

I lost my cat a year ago, but we did not remove the surveillance system. The footage showed Joseph opening the door for Selena. It looked like he could not wait to see her.

Right then, tears blurred my vision again. I was heartbroken.

“Don’t bring the cat into the house. Yulia will find out.” Joseph blocked Selena at the door and sounded serious. He would not take no for an answer.

“Didn’t you tell me you had a white cat before? My cat is white too. I thought you’d like it.” Selena sounded hurt and on the verge of tears.

“I just like the cat I had with Yulia. Leave yours in the yard, and don’t bring it into the house!” Joseph frowned with disgust.

Hence, Selena left her cat outside. After entering the house, she sized up the place with curiosity and jealousy.

“Take off your clothes here.” Joseph sat on the couch and said coldly.

“Aren’t we going into the room?” Selena asked cautiously.

“That room belongs to me and Yulia.” Joseph was growing impatient. “Selena, we’ve been together for such a long time. I thought you were supposed to be quite obedient.”

Selena quickly took off her clothes and threw herself into his arms. My hands could not stop shaking.

Suddenly, I heard a gentle and pleasant voice. “Miss, why are you watching such a video in the hospital?” the person teased.
