I thought that after that incident in the coffee shop, Rachel would completely disappear from my life. However, unexpectedly, she began to bombard me with text messages of good morning, good afternoon, and good night, constantly sharing her daily life with me, and even came to the hotel to see me from time to time.

"I also eat well when you are not around. Look, this is my salad today. (Attached is a photo of the salad.jpg)"

"I bought a pot of jasmine. They said jasmine represents Mo Li. I made a wish to the jasmine today. Guess what my wish is?"

"If we were to travel together, where would you like to go? I want to go to Paris. I particularly like the meaning of the Eiffel Tower."

In the past few days, Rachel has sent me more text messages than in the seven years we have been married. In the past, I would send her messages one by one, and sometimes she would reply with a "yeah", and sometimes she would ignore me completely. If there was something she needed me to do, she would just send me a voice message or call me directly.

Now it seems that Rachel really doesn't want to divorce me, but I know it's not because of love. When she thought I would never leave her, she was only willing to enjoy my meticulous care, but not willing to waste time on me, even the time to seriously reply to a text message. However , now that she found out that I was really going to leave her, she began to panic. Jason and work were all gone. She had to take time to coax me, because she didn't want to lose me, the "dog" who was thinking about her at this moment.

After all, it's really not easy to find a fool like me who loves her so much, is willing to be the man behind her and support her work wholeheartedly.

Maybe, she didn't love her first love that much. She was the one who was not chosen, which made her very unhappy, and that's why she couldn't forget him. Otherwise, why did she agree to break up so easily and turn around to marry me?

She didn't love Jason either , so she was so heartless. The love of a tall, handsome, young and promising brother made her feel very proud and accomplished, and it was something worth showing off. What's more, that person looked so much like her first love.

But she loves me less than them.

She was obsessed with being praised as a strong woman with both career and love, as if this could highlight her excellence. Only in this way could she soothe the pain of being abandoned by her first love.

Unfortunately, the bootlicker who humbled himself to the dust has woken up. I used to think that as long as I always stood behind her, she would see me one day. Now I know that people must love themselves first before they are worthy of being loved.

As soon as the cooling-off period was over, I called Rachel and asked her to get the certificate. This was also the first time I took the initiative to contact her recently. However, Rachel found various excuses not to get the certificate, and even came to the hotel and said to me: " Eric , you haven't worked for so many years, you are out of touch with society, do you know? After the divorce, what can you do? Go home and rely on your parents?"

It seems that she has been accustomed to being superior for so many years, and even if she tried to keep me, she made it sound like a gift.

I sneered, "Rachel, are you reluctant to part with me? Look at you, you waste my time by sending meaningless messages every day, and you keep calling me so many times every day, pestering me endlessly, like a dog-skin plaster, which is really disgusting."

Rachel's eyes turned red when she heard these familiar words. She was not angry, but asked me with a sob, " Eric , you really don't want me anymore, right?"

"Yes." I didn't soften my heart.

Rachel lowered her head and remained silent for a long time. Finally, she said in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."

In the end, not only did we get a divorce certificate, but Rachel also gave me half of her property. However, this caused dissatisfaction from Rachel's mother. Not only did she scold me, she also called my parents and scolded them as well. She scolded them for being shameless country people who raised a vampire son who lived off her. She was so heartless, she should be struck by lightning. She completely forgot about asking for a 500,000 yuan betrothal gift and dragging relatives to take advantage of our honeymoon trip.

My mother has not indulged her since the last quarrel, and she scolded her directly: "You old woman, half of your body is buried in the ground, you should be careful to shorten your life if you are so mean."

Rachel's mother even threatened to sue me and make me give up the money I had shared, otherwise she would make my whole family restless. However, Rachel threatened to commit suicide, and her mother finally stopped.

This was the first time in so many years that she had disobeyed her mother. But I didn't want to look back.

I took my parents on a trip and cooked delicious food for them. I tried to edit interesting things about the trip and my daily life into videos and posted them online. I didn’t expect to get so many likes.

This gave me great confidence. I graduated from the Department of Journalism. In this era where ordinary people can also share their creations on the platform, I think I can do something.

So, I became a self-media person. In addition to sharing my own life, I also photographed various aspects of life: the bustling vegetable market in the early morning, the busy hospital late at night, the homeless sleeping on the floor at the train station, the old lady picking up garbage...

I live a fulfilling life every day, I have stopped taking medication, and rarely think about the past.

Rachel again , I felt like I was in another world. I couldn't even remember the pain I had felt before. I thought I would be in the abyss forever, but now I realize that sometimes what we think is the abyss is actually just a small pond. It all depends on whether you are willing to stand up and get out of the predicament.

My friend said that Rachel was in a very bad state after my divorce. Due to frequent mistakes at work, her competitors soon found an opportunity to squeeze her out of the position of director. She resigned in anger and went home without looking for a new job. She stayed at home drinking every day. Her mother thought that Rachel was beautiful and could make money, and she wanted her to marry a rich man. Now that she has lost her job and is still staying at home and unwilling to go out, her mother was so angry that she went to her house to scold her. Who knew that she scolded her more harshly than her mother and said that she was harmed by her. She said that her mother's marriage was unhappy and she couldn't bear to see her daughter live a good life. She said that my divorce with her was caused by her mother. She even sold the house she bought for her mother and directly made her mother go to the hospital. And what about Jason? He still wanted to take a shortcut and went to another company to do the same thing. This time he caught a big fish and hooked up with a rich boss who had many companies. However, after they got together, Jason wanted to get promoted and made trouble with the husband of the rich woman. As a result, the rich husband hired someone to beat him up, and his face was bruised and his arms and legs were broken. The rich woman ignored him. He had no evidence and couldn't even get the medical expenses back. He really reaps what he sows!
