By the time Anna walked through the front door, the house felt empty. Andy was already gone.

“Did my husband eat before leaving for work?” Anna asked, setting her keys on the table.

Kayla, the maid, was wiping down the dining table with a damp cloth. She looked up.

“No, ma'am,” she replied gently. “He left in a rush. Didn’t touch a thing.”

Anna let out a soft sigh and climbed the stairs, her footsteps slow, her mind turning.

He didn’t even eat? Again?

In the bathroom, she stripped off her clothes and stepped under the cold water. It ran over her skin like needles, waking her up more than comforting her. She lathered her long blonde hair and rinsed the tension from her shoulders, but the unease in her chest lingered.

Something's not right… I can feel it.

With the house quiet and no immediate plans, Anna decided to do some laundry. She started with little Aiden’s tiny shirts and socks, then moved to Andy’s closet. His work shirts, socks, undershirts—she gathered them all into the laundr

    “I can’t believe you actually went back to work for that man.” Vivian’s eyes widened so much they looked like they might tumble out of her face. She clutched a pillow to her chest, staring at Anna as if she had grown two heads.Anna calmly folded a blouse into her drawer. Her movements were neat, measured—anything to avoid Vivian’s drilling gaze. “It’s not that big of a deal, Viv.”“Not a big deal?” Vivian narrowed her eyes, suspicion flashing like a detective sniffing out a scandal. “Something about this whole thing smells fishy.”Anna let out a light laugh, trying to shake off her friend’s intensity. “Fishy? How?”Vivian tossed the pillow aside and rolled her eyes dramatically. “Girl, don’t play dumb with me. The man fires you—cold as ice—then suddenly brings you back with a raise that could make Wall Street blink? Come on, think about it.”Anna hid a smile, though the corners of her lips betrayed her. “You should be happy for me. Your girl just secured her bag. Do you know how much

    Dear husband I can live without you 💙 Chapter. 87The air froze in the doorway.Anna’s chest rose and fell in quick, shallow breaths. She clutched the food basket like a lifeline, but her fingers trembled against the handle. Gerald sat across the room, broad shoulders relaxed, yet his piercing blue gaze pinned her where she stood.He didn’t move at first. He simply looked at her—like a man who had been starving and suddenly found the one thing he craved most.“Anna.” His voice rolled low, smooth, and heavy with something she couldn’t quite name.Her throat tightened. “Mr. Smith,” she answered flatly, forcing her tone into something neutral, professional. She stepped into the office with measured strides, heels clicking against the polished floor. The door slid shut behind her with a soft hiss, trapping her inside his world again.She set the basket down on the edge of his desk, refusing to look up. “Here’s your order, sir. Please sign this.”Gerald watched her every move—the way her

    Gerald’s mood was foul the next morning as he sat behind his glossy mahogany desk at GXC headquarters. He had hoped Anna would soften after his last attempt to speak with her, but she had made it crystal clear—she didn’t even want to breathe the same air as him.He leaned back in his chair, shoulders stiff, his tie tugged loose like he was suffocating inside his own skin. With a sigh, he reached for the half-filled tumbler of whiskey sitting on the corner of his desk. The amber liquid caught the sunlight streaming in through the wide glass windows, but it did little to lighten the heaviness in his chest.Gerald scrolled through his phone, stopping at a picture of Anna. It was one he had taken quietly while she was still working for him—her head slightly bent, concentration etched on her face, unaware she had been caught in the lens.“You don’t want to talk to me, Anna,” he murmured to himself, rotating his chair lazily from side to side. His lips curved into a humorless smile. “So how

    The knife moved lazily in Anna’s hand as she sliced through a carrot, the blade thudding dully against the chopping board. The fragrant steam of chicken simmering on the stove filled her small kitchen, curling into the air and mingling with the faint scent of detergent.But her mind wasn’t here.No—her thoughts kept drifting back to that look in Gerald’s eyes. That raw, bone-deep sadness. The way his hand had clutched hers like a drowning man begging for air.Her chest tightened. Guilt slammed through her like a drumbeat.He looked wrecked. Exhausted. Like he hadn’t slept in days.She shook her head, slicing another carrot with unnecessary force. “I should feel guilty? Really? He pushed me away. He fired me without blinking, without a damn explanation. After I gave him a brilliant idea, after I poured my heart into that project.”Her lips twisted, muttering under her breath, “Bastard. And to think I was actually falling for him—like a fool—thinking he cared. Thinking he… loved me, may

    The lunch rush at Blue Sky Dining was in full swing. The clatter of cutlery, the hum of conversations, and the soft notes of jazz spilling from hidden speakers blended into a constant din. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows, casting a golden sheen across the polished tables and gleaming silverware.Anna moved swiftly between tables, balancing a tray with practiced ease. Her crisp uniform hugged her neatly, and though she wore a smile for the customers, her eyes betrayed a quiet weariness. Each polite laugh and “enjoy your meal” felt like a mask she had to keep adjusting.She paused at a corner table to pour water for an elderly couple, her voice gentle and warm. But the moment she turned away, the heaviness in her chest returned. It had been days since she walked away from the hotel, days since she’d cut ties with the chaos Gerald had brought crashing into her life. She thought putting distance between them would grant her peace.And yet, as she slipped behind the counter to c

  • Dear husband I can live without you    Chapter 83: You are wasting time

    Gerald slid into his car, the leather creaking beneath his weight. The engine roared to life, but his chest still felt empty. His grip on the steering wheel was white-knuckled, veins standing out on his hands.Where the hell are you, Anna?He punched her number, listening to the hollow ring. Once. Twice. Then—The number you are trying to reach is currently unavailable.“Damn it!” Gerald slammed his fist against the dashboard. The ache in his chest sharpened into resolve.If she thought she could vanish, she was wrong. He would find her. Even if it meant tearing the city apart brick by brick.Gerald drove straight to the hotel where he had dropped Anna off the day she was discharged from the hospital. But the receptionist, with a polite smile, informed him that Anna had checked out days ago.“She’s no longer here,” the woman said.Gerald’s jaw tightened. “Do you know where she went?”The receptionist shook her head. “I’m sorry, sir. I have no idea.”Frustration clawed at him as he wal
