My husband hasn't touched me in five years. I thought it was just a midlife crisis, so I sought out doctors and remedies for him, making him drink nourishing soups as if they were free. But then I accidentally saw him ordering contraceptives online, buying them in bulk. It turns out those medicines really worked. He has more than one mistress, and in the end, his first love from years ago won out. He is willing to do anything to divorce me. To become someone else's groom. However, on the day of the wedding, as soon as I appeared, the bride threw off her veil and excitedly ran towards me. "Sis, I finally completed the task you gave me!"
My husband hasn't touched me in five years.
I thought it was because he was getting older and losing his strength, so I sought medical advice and remedies for him everywhere, making him drink tonics like water.
But then, I accidentally discovered that he was buying contraceptives in bulk online, hundreds at a time.
So, those medicines did work after all.
He had more than one lover. In the end, the one that got away won out, and he was willing to do anything to divorce me and become someone else's groom.
However, on the day of the wedding, as soon as I appeared, the bride threw off her veil and ran excitedly towards me.
"Sis, I finally completed the task you gave me!"
Under the scorching sun, the female delivery driver arrived at my house, panting heavily as she delivered my fruit salad.
"Sorry, I'm five minutes late. Please don't give me a bad review, okay?"
She took off her baseball cap, revealing a pale and haggard face.
Despite her current plight, one could still see the pure beauty she once had.
No wonder she was the one that got away my husband had longed for all these years.
I smiled at her and invited her in, "Would you like to come in for a drink?"
She nervously thanked me and took the coffee from my hand.
"Interested in a part-time job?"
Isabel looked up in surprise, "What kind of part-time job?"
I had already investigated her background. She failed her college entrance exams, got married early, but unfortunately met the wrong person. Her husband was not only a gambler but also indulged in debauchery outside.
After struggling to get a divorce, she was left to raise two children on her own.
Because she had to take care of her kids, she couldn't take on regular jobs with fixed hours, so she started delivering food.
The expenses for two children were not small, so she would naturally be interested in this part-time job.
I smiled gently at Isabel, "It's simple. Rekindle your old flame, my husband Kenneth."
Kenneth and I were college classmates. He came from a poor family but was diligent and earnest.
To be with him, I begged my family for days and nights, almost severing ties with them.
Knowing his financial difficulties, I didn't ask for a single penny in bride price. Instead, I brought tens of thousands as a dowry and even put both our names on the house deed.
My parents went from being adamantly opposed to reluctantly compromising. At the wedding, Kenneth sincerely knelt down and bowed to my parents.
"Mom, Dad, don't worry. I will make Emilee the happiest woman in the world."
At that time, I was full of hope for the future.
I believed that as long as we were together, every day would be sweet and joyful.
However, promises are like smoke, they vanish into thin air.
We originally worked at the same company.
Because the company had a policy against employees dating, I voluntarily gave up my promising career after we got married, staying home to prepare for pregnancy and take care of him.
My father also used his connections to help Kenneth build a network, helping him rise from an ordinary employee to a mid-level manager within a few years.
He came home later and later, spoke less and less to me, and our intimate moments became almost nonexistent.
Both sets of parents urged us to have a child soon.
But only I knew that if we really had a child under these circumstances, our family would fall apart even faster.
I kept telling myself that he was just too busy.
Once he had time, he would surely fulfill his promises to me, taking me to watch the sunrise and sunset, and traveling the world together.
Even when I occasionally found a lipstick, a bottle of perfume in the back seat of the car, or some suspicious long hair on his shirt... Because I didn't want to face reality, I chose to ignore it.
Until his secretary, Cathryn, came to find me.
