Bonus Mission: Catching My Cheating Wife

Since I had a few days off, I immediately rushed home as soon as possible. However, Katie was behaving very coldly toward me.I approached her with a huge smile on my face, trying to win her favor with a hug. "Darling, I'm home!"Katie broke free from me and didn't even look up at me before asking, "Where's the bag you promised me?"I produced a designer bag from behind my back like I was putting on a magic show. "Of course it's here, darling!"Katie's expression finally eased up when she saw it. She took the bag from me without another word and started taking loads of pictures of it with her phone.I came closer to her again, but she pushed me away at once. "Go away. I'm busy."I peeked at her phone. She was getting a ton of message notifications on it. It made sense because she owned an online store and was often very busy with orders.I knew that I couldn't argue with her, so seeing that she wasn't in the best mood, I decided to stop pestering her.However…My lips curled u

Janice told Katie, "Katie, I told you that you shouldn't have married this good-for-nothing lazy bum. I really can't bear looking at him a second longer!"While speaking, Janice still kept stealing glances at me.Katie scoffed and said, "I know, Mom. I'm already regretting it. But he doesn't come home often, so it's fine as long as he gives me money. I know you don't like Jasper, but you're being too obvious."Actually, the coffee beans he gave you are quite expensive. It's just that they seem cheap just because he's the one holding them."Hearing this, Janice sounded a little touched. "At least he knows to do the right thing!"Their conversation left me filled with dread.I had treated them sincerely with all of my heart, yet they were also the ones who hurt me the most.I really wanted to ask Katie if her conscience hurt. When had I ever treated her badly?Although I wasn't a wealthy heir like Janice wanted Katie to marry, my income had been pretty sizable ever since I starte

I set my keys down. Katie heard the sound from inside the bedroom.She hurriedly put her clothes back on, but her buttons and collar were all haphazardly done up.The door to the bedroom opened, and Katie came out to meet me."Jasper? W-What are you doing back home?" Katie asked awkwardly. "I thought you'd left in the morning in your car. Weren't you going off to work?"I chuckled coldly and asked her back, "That's right. Why am I here? Didn't expect to see me home?"You used the bag I gave you to suck up to other people. We've been married for years, and you never even let me buy a 200-dollar foot massager for my mother!"I was furious. My bottled-up emotions had finally exploded.I didn't feel sorry for myself. Rather, I felt sorry for my own parents.I hadn't managed to find a good daughter-in-law for them. I even made them endure hardships because of me.When Katie heard this, she got anxious at once. "What do you mean? I didn't do anything wrong! Reggie is my colleague! Y

However, I never thought that I would someday meet Katie again.This time, I was the one who received her divorce case.It was a dark night. It was close to midnight when Katie stumbled into the firm in a disheveled mess.I was just about to get off work and leave. When I saw that I had a client, I stopped what I was doing until I saw Katie's bruised up and swollen face.Compared to the last time I saw her, Katie looked like she had aged decades. She looked tired, spent, and sorry—like a housewife who had been tortured by the realities of life.Katie froze when she saw me. Then, in disbelief, she asked, "Jasper? You're a lawyer now?"She stared at the working tag on my chest for a long while. Then, she ran into my arms and started to cry.She wouldn't stop apologizing to me. "Jasper, I was wrong! I regret it. I regret every second of it! Can you please help me? I don't want to stay with that lunatic anymore! Can we please get back together?"As it turned out, Katie had apparent
