Loveless Marriage: My Dear Ex, Please Conduct Yourself with Dignity

It was midnight. Jade Redfern seemed to be dreaming, and in her dreams, a man was lying on her with his heavy body.“Uff…” The pain forced Jade to open her eyes. It was only then that she came to a realization; she was not dreaming.The man who only came back once a week currently had his body over hers, while the warm yellow light from the bedside lamp shone on his body. His upper body was bare, and the lines of his muscles were well-defined. His arms were long, and he gave off a great aesthetic feeling. Jade was stunned.‘Isn’t today Saturday? Why is he back?’“You’re awake?” The man’s voice was deep but cold. When he saw how stunned Jade looked as she stared at him, he snickered in disdain. For him, it was never because of love but a mere formality… The next day, Jade was woken up by the beeps from the car downstairs.She draped the blanket around her shoulders and sat up on her bed. She remained dazed for more than ten seconds, and when she heard movement in the kitchen, she s

There were twenty days left before her father received his sentence. If she still could not get enough money to pay back the sum he had embezzled within those twenty days, her father might have to sit in jail for such a long time that his hair would be white by the time he was finally released. ‘Investor?’When she remembered what Mister Whittle said earlier, Jade Redfern hesitantly took out her phone from her pocket. She swiped down her contact list and stared at the contact number she had practically memorized by this point. In the beginning, she had registered Zephaniah as “Husband”, and she had even added an “Adorable” in front. That way, his name would be at the top of her contact list, and when she opened it, that would be the first thing she saw. However, over the past three years, she could count the number of times Zephaniah called and texted her with just one hand. As time went by, she changed his title from “Husband” to “Zephaniah”, and she would not disturb him if nothin

Jade did not know how she fell asleep, but when she stirred into wakefulness while the haze of sleep was still heavy in her mind, she felt her belly churn in pain. She knew that it was a premenstrual symptom. The last few times it happened, Zephaniah was at home, so this time, Jade subconsciously searched for his comfort. “Dear, my belly’s in pain…”She reached out but ended up touching air. Jade opened her eyes blearily, and it was only right then that she realized the space beside her was empty and cold. Clearly, the man had taken off quite a long time ago. He left a note on the bedside table. [I have a flight to hurry to. It’s for a business trip that will last three days.]Zephaniah’s handwriting was like the man himself. It was neat as well as tidy, and the gap between every word was just right.Jade held the note tightly. The string in her heart finally broke. She lowered her head and sobbed quietly. During the past three years, whenever he did not come back, she would spend

She remembered her marriage to Zephaniah. They had been married for three years, but their relationship never changed. They were just like strangers who were bound by paper and a contract, just staying under the same roof. How did she manage to live together with Zephaniah for three years, especially when he was a man who could remain so calm, controlled, and detached from everything? At that moment, Jade Redfern felt her stomach churn in pain. Her face turned pale, her legs became weak, and she almost fell down.Easton quickly reached out to support her. When he saw how pale she was, he worriedly asked, “Are you sick? Should I send you to the hospital?”“I’m fine.” Jade waved her hand. She wrenched herself free from his grasp and stood up. Her expression turned slightly bitter. “Actually, I kind of admire you. You can choose to divorce your wife when you’re not happy together.”“You and Zephaniah…” Easton had not been back for a few years, but he always kept in touch with Jade’s fat

Once she got over her disappointment, Jade calmly completed the discharge procedures and went back home. After that, she entered the bedroom and pulled the wardrobe open.She did not bring many things when she moved over and stayed with Zephaniah. So, in less than half an hour, she managed to pack all of her stuff into two luggage bags. However, some of her overcoats were too heavy and thick, so she tossed them back into the wardrobe. Jade looked at the apartment that she had stayed in with Zephaniah for the last time, and she found that it was as if their memories filled every corner. She left the key on the shoe shelf. Then, with her luggage bags trailing behind her, she left without the slightest bit of reluctance. Ever since the woman picked up Jade’s phone call to Zephaniah and since their meet up last night, Jade knew that the woman likely knew everything. Jade may not have been able to make the man warm up to her after three years, but that did not mean other women were incapa
