The next day, Willow returned early for the first time ever.

I was sitting at the dining table enjoying my breakfast and didn't even look up when I heard the noise.

Willow stood in front of me. After a while, she didn't see me preparing breakfast for her as diligently as before, and her face suddenly became unhappy. She threw her phone on the table and asked:

"Tell me, do you want to make trouble again?"

What she was talking about was the first time she went to Bruce out of spite.

I was also angry at that time, and I didn't call her or send her a single text message the whole night.

The next day, I went to my mother-in-law's house with the divorce agreement.

When she came over after hearing the news, her face was pale, and she knelt in front of me and cried bitterly. She said that every time I didn't agree with her, she felt that I despised her and didn't love her, and she even worried that I would abandon her.

She was angry and wanted to provoke me, so she deliberately called Bruce in front of me.

She explained that she actually regretted it as soon as she went out, so she just made an appointment with her sisters to go drinking and did not go to find Bruce.

My mother-in-law also wiped her tears and tried to persuade me, saying that any woman would not be able to bear such a thing and would feel inferior. I am a man and should be more considerate of my wife.

She also said that, in the final analysis, Willow was just doing this because she cared about me too much and was afraid that I would dislike her. I was skeptical until her three good sisters testified in front of me and posted the consumption list of the bar that night, and then I reluctantly believed it.

Later I consulted a friend who studied psychology, and he told me that this kind of situation does happen and asked me to just give her more sense of security.

So later I tried my best to control my temper, and every time she got angry, I would immediately apologize, explain and comfort her.

Sometimes I failed to coax her back and she left, but I still kept calling and texting her.

Many times, she found me annoying and blocked me, so I contacted her through her friends.

But last night, just like the first time, I ignored her the whole night.

Even since she came back, I haven't even glanced at her.

"No."

I put down the dishes and chopsticks, took a piece of paper to wipe the corners of my mouth, then put away the dishes and chopsticks and went into the kitchen.

The sliding door behind him was thrown open by Willow with great force, making a loud noise.

I turned around and glanced at the glass door that was faintly cracked. "Has low self-esteem developed into mania?"

Willow was stunned, then her face turned red with anger.

"Leo, don't think you can threaten me like this. You refused to fulfill your husband and wife obligations, and now you are throwing a tantrum at me. Go ahead and make a scene, and see who will stand by you this time."

I calmly put away the dishes and turned around, only to find that the entire kitchen door was blocked by her.

I pushed her away without any hesitation and lay back on the bed in the bedroom. I just received a message from my brother, asking me to send a photo, saying that my parents missed me.

Thinking that I had used all my money to honor my mother-in-law over the years, but had done little to take care of my own parents, I immediately transferred 20,000 yuan to my brother out of guilt and asked him to pass it on to my parents.

Willow walked in arm in arm, snatched my phone, and screamed when she saw the transfer record.

"Leo, are you crazy? Who told you to transfer so much money to your brother? My mother is still waiting for your salary to buy her that bracelet this month."

I glanced at her, feeling calm.

"Didn't you say I was a waste? How could a waste have the ability to honor you and your daughter?"

In the past, because I loved her, I felt even more sorry for her infertility. I indulged her in every way, even against my parents' wishes, and became a live-in son-in-law. I lived frugally and used the money I worked hard to earn to support her and her daughter.

I didn't expect that even though I devoted myself to this family, in the end she and her childhood friend laughed at me for being a waste.

I may be a little love-sick, but I will never be a sucker!
