I don’t know how long it had been, but the sound ceased in the study.
I walked back to the bedroom, cloved the door, and took a shower numbly. Then I wrapped myself in
t long after, there came a shaking sound from the staly just a wall away
As if on purpose, their antics in the latter half of the night were all against the wall, making noise throughout the night, until it finally came to an end just before dawn.
1 kept my eyes open until dawn, and there was no moment I wished more than this, to go back to a time when I couldn’t hear anything
When the door opened, Elliana was holding a shrimp ready to feed it to the man’s mouth.
She saw me, didn’t stop her actions, and her eyes were filled with a triumphant provocation.
Axel suddenly kicked the chair and stood up, “Honey, wake up”
He held my hand and calmly wrote on the note paper in front of the table, “Elliana came specially in the morning to deliver the documents to me. I sw that she came in a hurry without having brealdast, so I asked her to stay and have breakfast together.”
I nodded and sat down at the table.
Perhaps it was my pale complexion that made Axel feel a bit guilty. He squeezed my hand and said, “Our third anniversary is in a week. How about celebrating it and then going on a vacation to Aflon, my dear?”
I looked at the words on the note, with Elliana’s unabashed laughter ringing in my ears.
I knew what she was laughing about. A week ago, on the day my he
- day my hearing recovered, I called Axel, who was on a business trip to Aflon.
What followed, however, was a moment of ambiguous entanglement.
The sound lasted for a full half hour before it was finally cut off.
Half an hour later, Axel sent a message, “Honey, do you miss your husband? I specifically said, ‘I love you‘ for half an hour, did you hear it in your heart. honey?
He did say “I love you” for half an hour, but the recipient was not me.
But it was not with him that she fought fiercely and couldn’t let go, but with Elliana
The first time I found out that the man who had always been gentle and steady in front of me could say so many rough and crude words of love
I lowered my gaze, and my tongue felt bitter,
“Mr. Sweeney, did you go to Allon and book the same couple’s suite as last time?”
“The beds in that room were all messed up by you, and I don’t know if the new beds the boss replaced are hard enough.”
“shut up,” Axel glanced at me, seeing my lack of expression, and exchanged a flirtatious look with Elliana, “Believe it or not, I’ll take care of you right away.”
Elliena Blinked her eyes and said, “I don’t believe it, you used two boxes last night.”
Axel stood up abruptly and said, “Wait for me in the garage.”
Then he quickly wrote, “Darling, there’s an urgent matter at the company, I have to go first. Take your time eating, I will arrange the flight tickets and hotel for you, don’t worry.”
He picked up the warm milk on the table and handed it to me, typing a line of words on his phone, “Here, drink the milk first, it will cool down later.”
pursed my lige, my eyes welling up with tears, “I didn’t want to drink today.”
He handed it to me with a smile, patiently writing down word by word, “Be good, don’t act childish, you must drink.”
He forcefully led me until the cup was comply, and then left satisfied;
In less than a ininute, a fext message popped up
Ellina, “Mrs. Sweeney, in the study drawer, Mr. Sweeney lett a gift for you.”
I looked for a few seconds, got up and walked to the study, pulled open the drawer, and inside was a red velvet box.
With a gentle touch, the box popped open, and in an instant, numerous used family planning products fell out.
The news came in on time, “Exactly 5.20, it’s the record of me and Mr. Sweeney being together for two years, oh, it’s a gift for our third wedding anniversary.”
I stood frozen in place, everything before my eyes turned dark, and my stomach churned violently.
I rushed into the toilet, vomited until I felt completely exhausted, tears streaming down my face before I finally collapsed.
The professor’s message came in on the phone.
I picked it up and opened it
“Meredith, the research institute is very pleased that you could join this project. A car will come to pick you up at 8 PM next week. Be prepared.”
When I joined the confidential research institute, my identity and personal information would be concealed.
Meredith could no longer be found in this world.
A week later, exactly on the third anniversary, ending on such a meaningful day, let this be the gift I give to Axel.
After that day, Axel didn’t go back home, using the excuse of being busy with work.
It just reminded me to take pregnancy protecting medicine” every day.
He didn’t know that the day after he left, I had already undergone an abortion surgery,
The menstrual period was mild and not very painful..
When I saw that tiny little bundle of flesh, I couldn’t help it. My heart ached so much that I couldn’t catch my breath. Theld the little clothes I had prepared early and cried all night, saying sorry countless times.
With swollen eyes and a hoarse voice, I opened my phone countless tinies, wanting to interrogate Axel, why did he have to be so cruel to me!
But all I saw were countless Intimate and affectionate photos posted by Elliana on social media
Famous tourist attractions, amusement parks, shared an ice cream.
Without
Axel’s L
face, his traces were visible everywhere.
I lay paralyzed on the bed, with a vacant look in my eyes and a heart as lifeless as ashes
The package of “pregnancy–saving medicine” was carefully wrapped by me, and I put it together with the divorce agreement that I personally drafted with the help of a lawyer.
Afterwards, I sorted out all the couple items we had at home with Axel.
There were too many things, so I called a van and paid double the price, asking the driver to record the entire process of the garbage incineration at the Landfill and send it to me, ensuring that not a trace would be left for Axel.
When the video was sent over, the workers came to my house, and I asked them to take down the large wedding photo in the living room.
The frame alone cost over a hundred thousand dollars, and I handed it directly to the worker. My only request was to destroy the wedding photos.
Having done all this, I looked around the empty house and felt no ripples in my heart, just like my heart had been hollowed out and would never beat for Axel gain.
A week later, Axel finally returned.
During the passionate indulgence of this week, he did not send me a single message, except for timely reminders to take my medication.
Seeing the empty house now, he realized something was wrong and suddenly felt extremely anxious in his heart.
Trembling, I typed the words, “Darling, why is our home so empty?”
I put on the evening gown he had sent me and smiled, saying, “It’s old, so I have to throw it away in order to get a new one.”
He finally breathed a sigh of relief, “Yeah, sure, buy whatever you like. Hubby will foot the bill. My honey deserves the best.”
I evaded his embrace without leaving a trace and took the lead by sitting in the car.
Along the way, he quired about their well–being and showed utmost concern.
It seemed as if it wanted to make up for all the guilt of not being with me this week.
I did not give any response.
Until they reached the banquet hall, Elliana warmly greeted the guests like a hostess.
She wore a litted dress in shades of purple, accentuating her graceful curves,
Seeing us coming over, they greeted us with a smile and said, “Mr. Sweeney, there are many important business guests here. Please go and greet them, and I will take care of your wife.”
Axel nodded and tapped my forehead gently, taking out his phone to tell me, “Honey, I’ll go say hello and come to accompany you right away.”
As soon as the person lett,
et, Eliana immediately changed her expression. “You could hear it, right? That night at the villa, listening to my escapades all night long”
I am indeed not as shameless as
my husband’s
Just as I was about to leave, she grabbed my hand and said, “Meredith, do you want to see your man will choose you or choose me in the end?”
Thadn’t reacted yet when she grabbed my hand and forcefully pushed ane backwards.
The champagne tower, taller than a person, collapsed with a loud crasti.
“What happened?”
Axel pushed through the crowd in a panic, and I was knocked off balance by him. My hands landed in the shards, but be carefully helped Elliana up and passed by me
“Mrs. Sweeney, I don’t knew what I did to offend you, why did you push me!”
She tearfully complained, “Mr. Sweeney, my stomach hurt.”
Axel turned his head to look at me, and a coldness I had never seen before flickered in his eyes. “You better pray that she’s okay, or I won’t let you off the hook
After saving that, he picked up Elliana and left without looking back, leaving me in a disheveled state, being pointed and talked about by everyone.
How glorious it was when I married Axel, and now how embarrassing it is
They all knew that I was deat, and without Axel’s protection, hurtful words clung to me like maggots to a bone.
I stood up unsteadily, with blood dripping from both hands.
Walking out of the banquet hall, by the unnoticed green belt, there was a pitch–black commercial van parked.
I got in the car without
any hesitation.
In the hospital, due to Axel’s anger, almost all the doctors came.
Elliana leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief only after confirming that the baby in her belly was safe.
As I remembered myself still lingering in the banquet hall, a sense of regret and guilt washed over me belatedly.
The last words spoken were a result of his anger, and he spoke without thinking. As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it.
Fortunately, his honey couldn’t hear.
As long as he sweet–talked her, his honey would definitely not blame him for leaving, after all, she loved him so much.
I quickly took out my phone and was about to edit a text message to explain to me.
The doctor’s voice suddenly rang out, “Mr. Sweeney, you are here just in time. Mrs. Sweeney’s hearing has been restored for halt a month now, and don’t forget about the follow–up examination. Remember to remind her when you go back.“
