When I came out, Chloe looked at me with a frown: "Pretending to be sick again."

"Isn't it childish? You lazy bastard, why are you so hypocritical?"

"It's because you're so useless that you killed the baby!"

I clenched my sleeves, and my heart felt like it was being pricked by needles.

Many years ago, in order to help Chloe block the drinking, I drank so much that I had stomach bleeding and developed serious stomach problems.

After the success of the business, Chloe managed the company.

Due to health reasons, I can only take care of the baby and do housework at home.

He became a son-in-law in the eyes of outsiders.

Once Chloe took my baby and me to a team-building activity, and Leo accidentally pushed the baby into the river.

I jumped down immediately and was seriously injured, but I still couldn't save the baby's life.

I thought about holding Leo responsible.

Chloe laughed at me: "You have the nerve to blame others for your own failure?"

"If you hadn't been so careless when you were young and had ruined your body, how could you not be able to save a child?"

She knew that I was drinking and socializing to help her get business. She knew that the baby died because of Leo.

They still use the most vicious language to humiliate and suppress me.

Over the years, I became inferior and fearful due to her constant brainwashing.

It was not until today that I realized that blindly tolerating will not win love, but will only make the other party take advantage of you.

I didn't want to say anything more to Chloe, so I went back to my room to pack my luggage.

Chloe thought I was doing my chores as usual.

Sitting on the sofa with legs crossed, she chatted with Leo while waiting for me to serve her.

The background of their chat was still a photo of the two of them facing each other. Chloe was engrossed in the chat.

When I walked out dragging a suitcase, I still didn't notice anything unusual.

"Leo wants to treat you to an apology."

"Look how generous he is, but you embarrassed him because of such a small matter."

"Go to the company tomorrow and apologize to Leo in public. This matter will be over and we can still live a good life."

I didn't say anything, but looked down at the message from the lawyer. It would take about ten days to settle the property and collect evidence of the extramarital affair.

Ten years have passed.

There's nothing wrong with waiting ten more days.

I lowered my head in thought, but Chloe mistakenly thought that I had chosen to compromise again.

She forcefully pulled my arm and pulled me out.

When we got to the underground garage, I opened the passenger door as usual, but Chloe pushed me open first.

My forehead hit the car door and tears fell out of my eyes in pain. "Are you okay?"

Chloe was a little flustered.

She pretended to care about my wound, but her body was intentionally covering the leopard print underwear that Leo forgot on the passenger seat.

"The passenger seat is a little dirty, you can sit in the back."

"Is your injury serious? Do you want me to take you to the pharmacy first..." It was indeed dirty.

I sat in the back seat, avoiding Chloe's touch.

Chloe pretended not to notice the "Leo Seat" sticker on the passenger seat. She felt guilty and chatted with me casually along the way.

The tone has become much softer.

"Frank , we have been married for so many years, don't you know me yet?"

" There is really nothing between Leo and me , he is just a simple and ignorant boy, I take care of him more because he is young."

I nodded and turned my gaze out the car window.

When passing through a maple forest, Chloe spoke again.

"Look, the maple leaves are red again. I remember taking a photo with you here before. You had a really beautiful smile back then."

The maple leaves outside the car window are as bright as fire.

My heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar.

I looked at Chloe and said slowly, "We have been together for ten years, and apart from the wedding photo that was destroyed, we have never had a photo together."
