Husband or Ex: I'm Always the Outsider Chapter 11
Mom and Dad took meticulous care of me. They kept me well-fed with a variety of my favorite foods, accompanied me on walks, watched TV, and chatted with me—all while never once mentioning Ariel.As my body gradually recovered, the scars in my heart began to heal as well.A month later, I updated my résumé and started looking for a job. With my solid work experience and strong capabilities, I soon heard back from several companies requesting an interview.Ultimately, I chose a medium-sized media company for a project manager position.My life went on just like this.Two years later, the city hosted a large-scale charity gala to raise funds for homeless children. My company was one of the organizers, and I was responsible for the overall planning and on-site coordination.It was a major event attended by city officials, entrepreneurs, and celebrities from all walks of life, and it required a high level of security.The day before the event, I met up with the head of security to go

Gianna shook her head as large tears streamed down her face."No, Mommy. Don't send Daddy away. Daddy will be scared…"Ariel patiently explained, "Gigi, your dad is sick and needs to go to the hospital to get better.""No! Daddy's not sick!" Gianna suddenly yelled. "Daddy said he was just pretending! He said that he just had to pretend to be sick so that you would come back! And then we could all live together like a family again!"The moment she blurted out those words, everyone in the apartment fell completely silent.Isaac's cries also came to an abrupt halt.Everyone turned to look at Gianna in shock.Ariel slowly looked up from her and turned to look at Isaac instead."You were faking it all along?"Isaac turned pale. He shook his head frantically and said, "No, I'm not! Gigi is lying—""I'm not!" Gianna screamed. "Daddy said it to me! He said that you would come home as soon as that bad man was gone! That's why he told the bad guys to take the bad man away! Daddy also t

The comments under my post continued."Look at the date on the divorce certificate. That's just from a few days ago! Who said Matthew snatched Ariel from Isaac when Isaac was sick? I hope you eat your words!""That hospital bill was issued after the media frenzy, right? So, Isaac came back to cause a huge scene, and Ariel made Matthew undergo a kidney compatibility test for him?""Oh God, what kind of soap opera is this mess?""Am I the only one who noticed that the wedding certificate was from three years ago? That means that Isaac and Ariel were already divorced long before he went abroad for treatment. Matthew only married Ariel after that. Isaac was clearly slandering Matthew when he said that the latter seduced his wife!""And the hospital bill was also dated before the abduction incident. That means Matthew was abducted shortly after going through the test and then abandoned by Ariel… I feel so sorry for him. This is just tragic."Public opinion began to shift. The netizens

"I don't blame you for choosing your daughter, Ariel. I would have also chosen to save her if I were in your shoes. But that's not the point," I said, pausing to make sure every single word I said was loud and clear."The problem is that I am always the one sacrificed whenever you have to make a choice. You think that I'm the one who will always not mind waiting for my turn."I shook my head."I'm tired, Ariel. I'm tired of waiting for you. I don't want to be understanding, considerate, or supportive of you anymore."Let's just end things here on a good note. At least we'll still have our dignity intact."Ariel just stood there, her face turning increasingly pale.…It was a gloomy, overcast day on the day of our divorce.Ariel turned up ten minutes late. She didn't look well. There were faint dark circles under her eyes.She said, "Sorry. Something came up at the station. I didn't mean to be late."I shook my head and said, "It's fine."We didn't speak after that and just w

Ariel stood in the center of the living room and scanned her surroundings.She saw a set of keys on the coffee table, along with the ring she'd personally slid onto my finger three years ago.She clutched them tightly in her palm until her knuckles turned white. It wasn't until then that it finally dawned on her that I was truly gone.A belated, overwhelming panic and aching pain washed over her like a tidal wave.Her phone then vibrated in her pocket. It was a call from Dr. Carlos Braun, Gianna's attending physician. She took a deep breath and answered the phone in a hoarse voice."Yes, Dr. Braun?""Gianna's awake, Officer Meyers," he said. "Her emotions are very unstable now. She's looking for you.""I'll be right back."After hanging up, Ariel sank dejectedly onto the couch and covered her face with her hands. She felt a mix of guilt, exhaustion, helplessness, and powerlessness, along with a bone-deep ache rising in her chest, threatening to crush her from within.She wante

It was late at night by the time I returned to my parents' house.Mom was stunned when she saw me."Matt? Why did you suddenly come home without telling us about it?" she asked. "Where's Ariel? Did she not come back with you too?"I was quiet for a long time before finally saying in a soft voice, "Mom, Dad, I'm planning to divorce Ariel."A heavy silence hung over the living room."What happened?" Mom finally asked, her voice tinged with worry.I lowered my head and looked at the floating lemon slice in my water. Then, I slowly told them everything, recounting what had happened from the moment Isaac returned from abroad, to being bombarded by reporters, to being forcefully taken to the hospital for the compatibility test.I also told them about the abduction incident, how she chose Gianna over me, and how she came and left in a hurry while I was recovering at the hospital.I told them everything in a calm voice. I wasn't mad, upset, or worked up. I simply stated the facts as th
