My Biased Wife Ended Up With Nothing

Irene sat down on the floor at once just so that Cody could use her lap as a pillow while lying on the ground to keep his breathing even.However, my eyes were filled with contempt and sarcasm.Whenever Cody got "sick" like this, she would immediately disregard everything and get frantic with worry, fussing over him like a mother hen. Meanwhile, if I suffered from gastritis and was covered from head to toe in cold sweat, she'd just look at me in disgust and blame me for being slow with my work.The ambulance arrived quickly that night.Cody lay quietly in the hospital bed while Irene gently tucked him in as if he were more fragile than glass.Moments later, she suddenly reached out and flung the transfer agreement in my face, growling as she chided, "It's all your fault! What did you have to bring out the transfer agreement out of the blue for?"Cody would never have gotten such a shock if you hadn't suddenly acted so strangely and pulled this stunt on him!"I ducked slightly, t

Irene used to think that I only stayed up late at night waiting for her because I hadn't been working hard at the office and therefore wasn't able to sleep at night. So, she would coldly tell me to focus more on working hard instead.But now that I was ignoring her at night, she was still as unhappy and unsatisfied as ever.She was just so hard to please.I rolled over, frowning as I pulled the covers over my head.Still, she continued pounding on the door. Her voice softened as she said in a helpless manner, "I know that you're still mad at me, but I'm back now, aren't I?"Excuse me, Mr. Sebastian Hart, but I'm really starving and ravenous. Why isn't there anything edible in the fridge?"I ignored her again.Her voice grew more and more frustrated as she began threatening me next. "Sebastian! If you keep this up, I'm leaving now!"I used to be the most afraid of Irene leaving. She also knew that it was my biggest weakness and often used it against me so that I would relent a

"That's right, Sebastian! I also think that you've gotten a lot cockier lately. Listen to the boss and do as you're told.""You used to work all year-round without ever taking a break, but you actually dared not to come in for overtime today. I really think you need to work on your work ethic more."Cody then cocked an eyebrow at me while standing behind Irene, his lips curving upward in a smug grin.He knew that he'd gotten the better of me. He feigned innocence as he gently tugged at Irene's sleeve, saying, "Don't do this, Rene. I only just joined the company half a year ago. It's obvious that I'm the one out of my league because Sebastian has been working here many more years than I have!"He's been here so long that you should still reward him for his loyalty even if he never made any contributions after all."Irene's eyes flickered as she said disdainfully, "Cody, you earned this promotion yourself because of your skills and abilities. As for someone else, he only got his pro

Cody stumbled a little after I shoved him off.If this had been in the past, Irene would have immediately run up to him to steady him on his feet before whispering words of comfort to him.But now, she was only focused on me.Cody bit his lower lip and leaned backward, slamming his waist hard against the corner of the table. He then let out a painful exclamation and tumbled to the ground on his butt.Irene only snapped out of it after that.Then, she slapped me hard on the cheek.The slap was hard, ruthless, and merciless, and it left a red, stinging mark on my face that turned numb and began swelling.I licked the insides of my mouth. My teeth had grazed the sides of my cheeks, and the sweet, metallic taste of blood filled my senses at once.Meanwhile, Irene immediately went over to take care of Cody right after the slap. She softened her tone and asked him if he was alright.Cody was very satisfied. He leaned into Irene's arms and pretended to be hurt."I'm fine, Rene. It's

I spoke into the phone in Merunese, thinking that it was a Merunican client here.There was a pregnant silence on the other end of the line.Just as I was about to check who the caller was, I suddenly heard Irene's usually aloof voice asking in a trembling voice, "D-Did you really go overseas after all, Sebastian?"Didn't you promise me that you'd always stay by my side forever?"Even without looking at her, I could imagine just how haggard and exhausted she must look. Her voice was weak and quiet.If this were me from the past, I would have immediately showered her with concern and care. But now, I just replied coldly, "Why are you calling me, Irene?"My voice was icy and chilling.She couldn't seem to hold her emotions back anymore as she raised her voice at me in a shrill pitch."Sebastian! Is this the way to speak to me, even if we're already divorced?"I found it hilarious and asked her instead, "How else should I be speaking to you, then? Am I supposed to ask a mere stra
