Faced with a large group of people gathered together to discuss solutions, I chose to remain silent. I kept thinking, when did my wife and Hugh find out? Why did Hugh's wife suddenly change sides?
Under the pressure of everyone, I had to apologize to Hugh's wife. She looked away, nodded, and left in a hurry.
"Patrick, no wonder you refused to go back to your room to sleep. It turns out you have a woman outside." The wife's voice sounded reproachfully.
"You actually brought a woman home. How can you be worthy of me?" She looked heartbroken, but no tears fell.
My mother-in-law sighed and shook her head. Later , my wife made a request: remove my name from the property certificate and put all the savings in the family under her name. Everyone kept pestering me, as if I had become the target of public criticism.
I nodded and agreed temporarily, which calmed the storm. However, my heart was filled with resentment and anger.
The next day, my wife and I were the only ones left at home.
"Patrick, Hugh and I are not fools." The wife's face was full of pride, complacency and sarcasm.
She no longer pretended and completely tore off the mask in front of me.
"Theresa, why did you betray me?" I demanded.
"Patrick , you are so boring. Hugh can bring me excitement." She answered bluntly.
" If you turn a blind eye, I can still be a good wife to you." Her words shocked me.
I stood there in a daze. Theresa's worldview had completely overturned my perception.
She stopped walking out and looked back at me, "Come with me to handle the property certificate procedures this weekend."
After that, she took her bag and walked out of the house with her head held high. I took out my phone, opened the monitoring software, and watched the video from last night and the conversation just now. I smiled coldly - I secretly installed a camera in the living room during the day yesterday, and I didn't expect it to come in handy so soon. I could actually prove my innocence last night, but I don't have any solid evidence to prove my wife's cheating.
