I Avoided Interacting With My Husband

“Happy graduation!”Someone suddenly shoved a stack of pots and pans into my arms.I spaced out, and everything fell to the floor with a loud crash.The expression of the woman before me instantly darkened.“Julia, what are you doing?! I spent so much time picking out these kitchen utensils for you! It’s perfect for a woman!”Orion Spencer’s mom, Claudia Palmer, would not stop yelling at me while shoving a finger in my face.However, I was still caught up in the joy of returning to the past.I did the math and realized it was the last day to sign up for the graduate school exam.“Are you even listening? How can you take care of Orion like this?”When I heard Orion’s name, his tall, confident figure flashed in my mind.In my past life, I always thought I was lucky to win him over.He was handsome and one of the best students in school. He loved basketball and even made it onto the state team. He also enjoyed writing songs, and people loved whatever he wrote.When he mentione

By the time I got home, it was incredibly late.The apartment was small, but every part was decorated in the way Orion liked.We were about to break up soon, and I felt more upset about the money I had spent than anything else.So, I took out my bag and started packing up all my valuables to sell at a shop nearby.While packing, I saw the scarf I had made for Orion.I had always been better at larger hands-on projects. Fine, detailed work was just not my thing. I kept pricking my fingers over and over while trying to sew it.When Orion saw it, he immediately said it was ugly.However, it actually did not look too bad to me.I sighed and put it away. Maybe I could still use it in winter.After selling my things, I came back, and the apartment looked a lot emptier.I decided to take the rest once I was ready to leave for good.I did not plan on leaving Orion anything.He came home very late.I saw him, and his face was a bit red. He looked like he might be a little drunk.“

However, whatever guilt Orion had disappeared as soon as we got home and he saw Sofia.She was sitting and crying outside my door.“My landlord kicked me out. I can’t withdraw any money from the card you gave me…”The first thing Orion did was look at me.“You changed your PIN?”My heart sank, and I started putting the pieces together.“What do you mean?”He shook off my hand in anger and said, “Why didn’t you tell me you changed it? Sofia needs that money to rent a place!”I was furious. “What does her rent have to do with me? That is the money my parents left me!”I could not believe it. Orion had been using my money to pay for Sofia’s rent!No wonder I previously did not have much money left in my bank account despite my best efforts to save.It looked like the same thing had happened in my past life.He and his family had used up my money!Sofia leaned against the wall and slowly got to her feet. Then, she gave me a pitiful look.“How can you say that? Isn’t your mone

I felt a bit nervous.However, Orion always cared so much about his image. The thought of messing everything up in front of him made me happy.The officiant went through the steps for our wedding.When it was my turn to speak, he asked, “Do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?”“I don’t.”Everyone went silent in shock.Orion looked at me in disbelief, like something broke inside him.“You said the wrong thing, didn’t you?”“Nope.” I smiled and took the microphone from the officiant.“The real bride today is someone else!”Right then, the video I had prepared started playing.It showed many clips of Orion being very close to Sofia.Everyone thought Orion had been really good to me. In their eyes, he was the perfect husband.After that, I pulled a shocked Sofia up on stage.“Look at her! Her dress is fancier than mine, and her makeup is prettier. If she’s not the bride, who is?”The guests started whispering.“Wow, it’s so obvious.” “I can’t believe O

They asked the landlord and finally discovered that, except for some pots and pans in the kitchen, everything else in the apartment belonged to the landlord.When I heard that, I was so happy.They got exactly what they deserved.After I finished registering for graduate school, I started working with my professor on a tech research project.In my past life, I never had the chance to do something great. So, this time, I did not want to waste any time.Apart from eating and sleeping, I spent all my time in the lab or out doing fieldwork.The next time I saw Orion, I did not expect it to be at the school clinic.I had been working too hard for days and felt dizzy. But as soon as I saw him, I wanted to run.Orion quickly set aside what he was doing and chased after me.“Don’t go, please! “I’ve always known you were here, but I didn’t want to bother you. “I just hoped that if you ever needed help, I could be there.”He sounded sincere, but it put me off.I tried to pull my h
