On that lost night, I returned home, put away the gift I had carefully prepared, and sat alone at the dining table, eating a candlelight dinner that had already gone cold. At this time, Ivy came back, ran to me, and took out the gift like offering a treasure.

"Dangdangdang, honey, look what I bought for you?" She shouted excitedly, " 4090 graphics card, you always wanted it, today is our fifth wedding anniversary, I bought it for you."

It turns out that she knew that today was our fifth wedding anniversary, but I felt bitter. She is always like this, when she does something wrong and wants to turn the page, she will buy gifts to please me. The 4090 graphics card is indeed what I always wanted, but now it is in front of me, I can't be happy at all.

"Thank you, I like it very much!" I forced a smile on my face.

Ivy didn't notice anything was wrong with me and started to exaggerate and praise my cooking. However, when she reached out and took a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in her mouth, she spat it out right after.

"Why is it cold? Honey, let me heat it up," she said.

" No thanks." I shook my head and refused. The food can be heated up when it's cold, but my cold heart can't be heated up again.

" Honey, are you still angry? Please stop being angry, okay?" Ivy walked in front of me and squatted down, looking at me with her big watery eyes. She had used this trick many times before, but this time I couldn't forgive her as easily as before.

"Honey, let me explain to you, there's nothing between Ryan and me, I just went to encourage him because he didn't have enough confidence in the exhibition. As for being a nude model, that's artistic creation, don't think too much about it." She tried to explain.

Art creation again! So she can stand naked in front of Ryan under the guise of art creation ? Has she ever thought about my feelings?

" Husband, actually you shouldn't have gone today. Ryan attaches great importance to this exhibition, which is related to his future. Art creation is most taboo to be disturbed, you shouldn't have come." She continued.

"So you think I should apologize to Ryan?" I looked at Ivy strangely and asked. She actually thought I was wrong!

"No need to apologize, Ryan was very generous and said it was okay before I came back." She said with a self-deprecating smile. Ryan was generous, so I am a stingy man?

I didn't say anything else, eating the cold rice in the bowl bit by bit. But strangely, I didn't feel the rice was cold at all. Maybe my heart had become extremely cold.

After dinner, I put down my chopsticks and said, "I still have work to deal with, you should go to bed early." Ivy was stunned. She didn't seem to expect me to say that.
