My Husband Panicked When We Switched Bodies

Simba snuggled comfortably in my arms. I cried until I was completely worn out and eventually dozed off.The next morning, Seth and I were woken up by a strange noise.I quickly ran to the bathroom once we saw each other. Inside, I saw Seth's face staring back at me in the mirror.I pinched my cheek. It hurt.This was not a dream.A counter with the number twenty on it suddenly appeared on our wrists.A book of instructions was lying on the coffee table in the living room. It informed us that this was a game to bring married couples closer together. If we hit a hundred points and told each other 'I love you', we would be able to switch back.We stared at each other, unsure what to do. Suddenly, the doorbell rang.It was my mother-in-law. She would show up almost every weekend without informing us beforehand, and she would act like a superior conducting a spot check at a worksite.This was another one of those days.Seth stood up and reflexively called her 'Mom'.She looked a

"This reminds me…" A thought flashed through my mind, and I quickly grabbed my phone."Locke… You kept talking about Locke the other day. Why haven’t I met him yet?”Seth stood up. He wanted to snatch the phone from my hands, but he failed.I had dialed Locke’s numbers as I was speaking. "Why are you calling me at this hour, darling? Do you miss me?"A familiar female voice came through the phone. Her voice was so sultry and sweet that I could almost taste the sugar in the air.I made up an excuse and hung up. After that, I gave Seth an understanding smile.Seth could no longer keep up his act. "Just tell me what you want. Don't hurt Jenny. She's innocent."I smiled even though tears were welling up in my eyes. "I knew this day would come, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."My parents disapproved of my relationship with him while we were dating. They tried everything they could to convince me not to marry him."His family isn't well-to-do. What can he give you? You're

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

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

"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
