"Serena, it's not what you think. I swear, I will only meet her on September 17th. Apart from this day, we have no contact." Ethan followed me out of the private room, explaining non-stop all the way.

I finally couldn't listen to it anymore, turned around and slapped him hard. "Three years! You've only slept with her three times, right?" I asked him with red eyes. He avoided my gaze and remained silent, which was considered as tacit agreement.

I sneered at him, too angry to speak. But he frowned and tried to change the subject: " Serena , haven't I done well enough in the past three years? I go home on time, pick you up and drop you off at work every day, and give you gifts on various holidays. I keep my distance from the opposite sex, and even only hire men as secretaries. Tell me honestly, your besties, colleagues, and your parents, who doesn't praise me for being a good family man?"

I listened to his explanation with mixed feelings, and was about to retort that what I needed was a marriage partner who loved me, not a marriage of living together. But he suddenly answered a phone call.

Eva 's sobbing voice came from the phone : " Ethan , I accidentally fell and can't walk. Can you come pick me up?" Ethan replied without thinking: "Wait for me." After hanging up the phone, he left me a message saying "Talk to me when I get back" and left in a hurry.

As his wife, I had a wound on my forehead, but he turned a blind eye to it. In the past, even if I had only a small scratch, he would be able to find it in time and would nervously take me to the hospital as soon as possible. But this time, I went to the hospital by myself to bandage the wound and get a tetanus shot.

It was already early in the morning when I got home, but Ethan hadn't come back yet. I was completely sleepless and numb in pain. He and I have known each other since childhood. He could jump into the pool that he feared the most without hesitation to save me from falling into the water; I could also participate in the fight between the gangsters for him without hesitation, and the result was that I was beaten with him and almost died once. The year I graduated from high school, he and I almost got engaged, but I had to cancel it because I was sick. Later, I went abroad for treatment without telling him. He didn't come to see me off before I went abroad, but after returning home, I heard that he had a short relationship. But in the end, we got married with the matchmaking of our parents.

I still treated him the same as before, but he quietly changed his mind. I picked up my phone to check the time. It was already two o'clock in the morning, and Ethan still hadn't come back. At this time, WeChat showed a friend request. I clicked on it in confusion, and saw a person with the same ring avatar as Ethan . Seeing this, I realized that his original avatar was a couple avatar exclusively for him and Eva . I thought it was just a random picture I found on the Internet, and I even laughed at his old-fashioned avatar, but it turned out to be like this!

But I have seen Eva 's WeChat ID on Ethan's phone, and it was not this one. Did she make a special account just to add me and stimulate me? The dense pain in my heart came back again, and the tears in my eyes almost made it difficult for me to see the small words in Eva 's note: "I'm Eva , you have occupied Ethan for so long, it's time to give it back to me."

The friend request was approved, and she immediately sent a picture over...
