My husband Seth and I switched bodies on the night of our wedding anniversary. When I went to the office posing as him, his colleague Jenny whispered sultrily into my ear, "Why haven't you divorced your wife yet?" I looked at the counter on my wrist. It displayed ninety-nine points—that meant we only needed to gain one more point to switch back to our own bodies. I smiled. “Points have been reset to zero! Reset! Reset! Reset!”
View MoreSeth grabbed the corner of my shirt while still lying in bed. He glanced at the counter. "I promise I’ll never cheat on you again after going through all of this. I'll do my very best to take care of you and the baby. I'm sorry. Can you give me another chance?"Things had already ended up this way. Sorrow was the only thing left in my heart.I shook my head and finally turned to look at him. "Have you ever considered how you would’ve treated me if it weren't for this body switch? It's too late for us, Seth."He looked at me with reddened eyes and tried to hold my hand."We can't divorce, Nicole. We still have our baby. She's still so young. Shouldn't we give her a complete family?"No. There was no going back."I don't want to."Yes, you've changed. For the first time in your life, you’re willing to choose your family over the rest of the world."But you can’t expect me to wait around until you make the right choice."I'm the only one I can trust. No one dares to bully me now.
"It's only now that I realize no one will remember me once the glamorous shell of Seth Rothman is gone. No one loves me. Even my parents are selfish and only think of themselves. I'm so pitiful!"I was silent for a long time before I said slowly, "The day I found out you were cheating on me, I asked myself the same questions. When your mom ordered me around like a maid, I asked myself the same questions. Seth, even when I lost the baby back then, I asked myself the same questions."My eyes widened as I looked at him. "I once worked up the courage to tear that cage open with full force, but you pushed me back inside again and again."You claim no one loves you, but you're wrong, Seth. Someone did love you before. You were the one who didn't want her."Stop thinking about this. I took some time off to accompany you. Just rest and focus on giving birth."Seth asked, "Is that all you have to say to me?""I have no idea what else to say." I lowered my head to look at him. "I would sym
"I'm not making a fuss. I've been eating vegetables and fruits every day, and I walked back home even though the weather is hot. I'm also taking supplements regularly—"I turned back to look at him. "Don’t spew pregnancy advice everybody knows at me. You've always been a fast learner, so this shouldn't be difficult for you to pick up."He looked at me and lowered his voice. "I can learn. Really, I can. So, c-can you also t-try…""Try what?" I asked, even though I knew what he meant. I took out my phone. "Don't you have enough money? Don't worry. You used to give me $2,000 a month to manage our home. I'll give you double the amount. Just let me know if you want more."Seth seemed upset when he looked at me. "It's not about the money. Can’t you be a loving husband to your pregnant wife and show me more concern?"I looked at him, and my eyes turned cold."Isn't this the same way you treated me before?"Where were you when I needed you back then? Where were you when I wanted you by
I heard the neighbors trying to talk sense into Seth's dad."What's going on with you, Mr. Rothman? Are you still hung up on the widowed Mrs. Whitman from the East Factory after all these years?""Why are you creating a scene in front of the kids when your own life is a mess, Mr. Rothman? You've already lived for more than half a century. Why are you making your life difficult now?""They're right, Mr. Rothman. You didn’t get divorced despite your cheating, and you're even welcoming a grandchild soon. Why would you blow this up at this point in your life?"I sneered silently. Interesting! Seth's dad had been cheating for years too. Like father, like son.Their house was crowded with the neighbors. It seemed like everyone had something to say about Seth's parents' marriage.All I wanted to do was get as far away from them as possible.When I got home the next day after work, I heard Seth's mom's voice before I even entered the house."I made you some soup, Nicole. It's really nu
I was still reeling from the conversation as I slowly stepped out of the room, one slow step at a time.The atmosphere in the living room was awkward. Seth's mom had a sharp tongue, but Seth was too exhausted to retort as he had used up all his energy trying not to fall asleep due to pregnancy-induced fatigue.Disgust spread through my entire body.Seth's dad spoke up first at the dinner table. He said in a light tone, "You should know better now that you're pregnant, Nicole. Take good care of the baby. Did you know that all mothers are strong? It's fine that you've lost a baby once, but you can't be as stubborn in the future." Before Seth could say anything, I looked up and stared at his dad. "Who do you think you're lecturing?"Seth's dad sat up in a dignified manner, and his face fell at my words. "Why are you talking to your father like that?""I'm not just talking, I'm doing this!"I grabbed the corner of the wooden table and flipped it with all my might.The burning soup
My sacrifice had not been worth it.Seth's video call interrupted my thoughts. I picked it up without much thought and waited for him to speak."Uh, what tea did you give my dad for Christmas? He asked me to bring some more for him if we still have it.""Tea?" I was taken aback. "Your dad really knows his stuff. That was a premium tea I managed to buy through a good friend. It's worth a few thousand dollars per pound. We only bought a small amount, and I gave all of it to your dad."Seth said carefully, "It's fine if we don't have any left. Since my dad called us, why don’t we visit him this weekend?"I agreed. We had not gotten a divorce yet, after all.Time passed quickly, and the weekend arrived very soon. We left for Seth's parents' house.The moment we stepped through the door, my mother-in-law held out an apron.I instinctively reached for it, but I quickly remembered that I was in Seth's body.Seth's mom pointed at 'Nicole' while ordering her around, "Seth's father want
