LOGINIn the fifth year after migrating to a new country, my wife, Nyra Sinclair, brings her first love, Jacob Griffin, and his daughter, Zoe Griffin, home with her. "Jacob and Zoe are new to this country, so they shall be staying with us for the time being." I get into a huge fight over this matter with Nyra. On my birthday, Nyra hands me a divorce agreement. She urges, "Hurry up and sign it. Jacob needs a green card. We'll have to go through a fake divorce first." With a frown on my face, I try to pry for more details from Nyra, only to get accused that I don't have any sympathy for Jacob at all. A short while later, I see Jacob's latest post on Instagram. "Nyra is getting a divorce for my and Zoe's sake! We finally have a place to call home!" I just leave a like there quietly. After leaving my signature on the divorce agreement, I lodge a request to my company so that I can fly back to my home country, Myrthia.

But to my surprise, she rented an apartment near mine.Every day, she would leave homemade meals at my door.Looking at the lunchbox at the door, Mom seemed at a loss and asked me what to do.I glanced at it and replied indifferently, "Just leave it. She'll come to get it herself."Nyra didn't seem to care about my indifference. She persistently made me different dishes every day, and later even pastries.Finally, one day, I couldn't stand it anymore and waited for her by the door.When Nyra saw me, her face lit up. She handed me a lunchbox and said cautiously, "Honey, I made short ribs with broccoli today. There are cream puffs too. You should try them."As I took the lunchbox from her hand, her joy grew even more obvious. But I simply gripped the lunchbox and walked straight to the trash can.I turned to glance at Nyra, who see
Nyra went to the office to look for me, only to be told by Matteo that I had already applied for a transfer back to Myrthia.She trembled as she asked when I had submitted the application.Without hesitation, Matteo answered, "The day of his birthday."As Nyra left my office, the events of my birthday began to play on a loop in her mind.She couldn't get it. On that day, she had forgotten my birthday and brought up the idea of a fake divorce. Why did I suddenly decide to go back home?Nyra felt there had to be something she didn't know. She needed to get the full story from me.That same day, she bought a ticket back to Myrthia.But after landing, Nyra couldn't remember where my parents lived. She had to use the same trick—going to my office to ask.My coworkers told her I was on vacation.Nyra tried to contact my friends but found none of them in her phone contacts. She didn't even have my parents' numbers.At that moment, Nyra realized she didn't know anything about me.Sh
Before Jacob could say anything, I added, "Oh, and while you're at it, take Nyra's things too, since you two are living together."The look on Jacob's face shifted quickly from stunned disbelief to deep calculation.Meanwhile, Zoe was thrilled. She wanted to leave with Nyra, but Jacob stopped her. "Nyra is staying here. How about we go home first?"At his words, Zoe burst into tears.Jacob picked her up, grabbed his luggage, and left.I wasn't surprised by the outcome.I had known all along that Jacob didn't care about Nyra. He just wanted a place to stay for free.When Nyra found out they were coming to Ardenai, she willingly opened the door for them.It took Nyra a while to react after they left.She reached out, trying to grab my hand, and finally forced the words out through her strained throat. "Honey, I've already kicked them out. Can we try to start over?"Her eyes were full of hope.I chuckled softly and carried her luggage out the door. Standing in the doorway, I lo
Without thinking, I nodded. "I understand you."Nyra's smile had just started to form when I continued, "So, divorce is the best choice. If we divorce, Jacob will get his green card, and Zoe won't lose her mom. After all, a kid can't be without her mom."Nyra refused to give up. "I just wanted a fake divorce. How could you—""But I've decided to divorce you for real." I cut her off without hesitation."When you have the time, pack up your things and leave."Before she could respond, I added, "Nyra, the living room is under surveillance. If you don't want Zoe to get into trouble, you'd better sign the divorce agreement."Nyra didn't expect me to use Zoe as leverage. She opened her mouth a few times but couldn't say anything.Eventually, she found an excuse and fled.Watching her hurriedly leave, I felt no sorrow. In fact, I was irritated by her persistent meddling.…For the next few days, Nyra avoided me completely.I didn't look for her either. Instead, I packed up everythi
