登入My mother-in-law was somehow allergic to me. As long as I was in the house, her skin would break out in rashes, and she would struggle to breathe. The hospital could not find any specific allergen. They said it might be something to do with my scent. To give his mother some relief, my husband Keith asked me to stay in a hotel every weekend. I quietly packed away everything that was mine. I even stopped wearing my favorite perfume just so I could stay home for one extra day. However, her condition only grew worse. The days I was allowed to be home dropped from five days a week to three, and eventually to just one. I never complained. I only hoped she would get better soon. One day, I left work early to pick up a document from home. I heard laughter from inside the house. "Mom, your trick really works! Every time you cough, my brother kicks that woman out." It was Keith's god-sister Caroline, who had studied abroad. My mother-in-law laughed smugly. "Caroline, you're the best. You can cook, and you give great massages. You're nothing like that useless block of wood who's always in the way. "Keith, hurry up and marry Caroline already. Get rid of that woman!" Keith's voice was full of indulgence. "Mom, don't say things like that. Caroline, look at the perfume I bought you. You've worked hard lately." All strength left my body as I stood frozen at the door.
查看更多After divorcing Keith, my world finally went quiet.With the money I received, along with my own savings, I opened a small floral studio.As I surrounded myself with flowers and greenery every day, my life became peaceful and full again.I thought Keith and I would never cross paths again for the rest of our lives.Until one day, he showed up at the door of my studio, reeking of alcohol.He had lost so much weight that he barely looked like himself. His eyes were sunken, and his face unshaven. He looked worn down and broken."Silvia…" His voice was hoarse and thick with emotion. "I was wrong. I know I was wrong." He went on to tell me everything that had happened since, from Caroline's scheming to his mother's stroke, speaking through tears as his voice trembled. I listened quietly, my expression calm.Deep down, there was a faint sense of satisfaction. People like them had deserved exactly that kind of ending."I'm sorry, Silvia. Come back to me. Please!" he begged. "My mom
In the days that followed, Keith lived in a constant state of conflict.On one hand, he could not stop thinking about Silvia. He kept going through their old photos again and again, as if he were trying to hold on to something that was already gone.On the other hand, he had to face the growing expectations of his mother and Caroline.His mother treated Caroline like a doll, handling her with extreme care and giving in to everything she wanted, afraid she might upset her in the slightest.Caroline stopped hiding her true ambitions.She began walking in and out of the master bedroom openly, using the things Silvia had left behind. She even started hinting to Keith that once the baby was born, it would be time for them to have the wedding.The thought left Keith feeling suffocated, forcing him to confront something he had never fully admitted before: he did not love Caroline, and what he felt for her was nothing more than guilt over his mistake and a sense of responsibility toward
"Silvia! You shameless woman!"You're nothing but bad luck. Ever since you showed up, you've ruined my son's life!"Melanie completely lost control. She screamed and lunged at me like she wanted to tear me apart.Keith grabbed her tightly, trying to hold her back, but she kept struggling. "Our family must have been blind to let you marry into this house!"Her whole body shook with anger, her voice sharp and vicious. "You can't even give him a child. What kind of wife does that make you?"Now, our whole family is a mess because of you. Are you happy now?"I let out an icy laugh."Why can't I have children? Don't you know exactly why?"At the beginning, when Melanie first started having those so-called allergic reactions to me, I truly believed something was wrong with me.Desperate to help her get better, I panicked and ended up trusting the so-called experts she brought in, following their advice and taking herbs and supplements for half a year. It was not until later that a r
"Shut up!" Keith snapped.The entire room fell silent.I lifted my head and stared straight at him. "Keith, you were with her the day my mom had surgery?"His eyes flickered."You were out shopping with her, weren't you? You had turned off your phone and missed more than a dozen calls from the hospital asking for the payment."A wave of shock rippled through his coworkers watching nearby."Oh my god, is that true? That's inhumane!""He played with his mother-in-law's life for his mistress’ sake…"The whispers pushed Keith over the edge. His face twisted with anger and humiliation."So what if I was? Silvia, do you have to humiliate me like this? Can't you stand seeing me happy?"I let out a hollow laugh. "Keith, it took me until today to realize just how disgusting you are."Caroline jumped in, her voice suddenly sharp as she pointed at me. "Don't you dare put all the blame on Keith!"She let out an icy laugh, her tone cutting. "You were the problem from the very beginning.
