Chapter 2

It rained heavily on the day of my discharge. I was soaked through when I returned to Quest Villa.

As soon as Zac saw me, he covered his nose in disgust. "You reek!"

The summer rain had a muddy smell, but it was not unpleasant. He was saying that just to make Winona smile.

Sure enough, his exaggerated performance made Winona, who was wearing my pajamas, cover her mouth and chuckle softly. Her eyes were brimming with pride and provocation as she looked at me.

I simply ignored her and turned around to go upstairs.

Sterling hurried out of the kitchen, frowning and looking at me with disgust. "Winona put aside work today to spend time with Zac. It's one thing that you're not grateful, but who are you showing that attitude to?"

I stood on the steps, my gaze indifferent. "Yeah, that's why I'm letting her have you. Let's get divorced."

My voice was soft but clear.

A trace of disdain flashed in Sterling's eyes. "Sienna, where did you learn this bad habit? You're always threatening to divorce. Do you think you can threaten me?"

Winona also stood up, speaking in a coquettish voice as she advised me, but she was actually fanning the flames. "Sienna, don't get me wrong. Sterling and I may be childhood sweethearts, but he's a good husband who puts his family first. You should cherish him. How can you threaten him with divorce at every turn?"

Sure enough, Sterling's eyes showed even more disgust toward me after she finished speaking.

I nodded nonchalantly. "You're right, so you can have this man. Cherish him."

After saying that, I turned around and went upstairs, ignoring the secretly delighted Winona and the gloomy-looking Sterling behind me.

I packed everything that belonged to me in the bedroom into the suitcase and put the signed divorce agreement and the mother-son disownment letter on the dressing table. Finally, I took off the wedding ring on my ring finger.

Sterling did not catch up with me. He thought that I was just throwing a tantrum, so he went into the kitchen to continue cooking. He was not good at cooking, but he could learn patiently for Winona.

As for me, he had only ever fed me a bowl of cold oatmeal in the six years of our marriage. He had even bought it from a shop outside.

Winona posted a photo of the table full of delicious food and Sterling's busy figure on social media.

The caption wrote: [There'll always be someone who remembers what your favorite food is.]

Just one minute after the photo was posted, my mother-in-law and sister-in-law eagerly liked it.

My mother-in-law even commented: [Winona's lovable, unlike the woman who married into the family with great effort but is still annoying after six years.]

My sister-in-law also chimed in: [I'll just say it straight. Please marry my brother. His current wife is just not good enough!]

I casually liked the post, but it disappeared when I refreshed the feed again. I did not bother with it and went downstairs with my suitcase.

Seeing me carrying my suitcase, Sterling scolded me coldly, "Winona's social media post was a joke. Do you have to make a fuss?"

Winona's eyes were also red as she gave a crocodile-tear apology. "Sienna, I didn't know you would get jealous. If I had known, I wouldn't have come here today and pissed you off..."

I looked at Sterling calmly and said indifferently, "I've put the divorce agreement on the dresser. See you at the courthouse tomorrow morning."

While we were talking, the cab arrived. I turned around to leave.

Sterling was about to say something, but Zac stopped him. "Let her go!"

He seemed to hate me to the core, his expression showing his disgust for me. He spat at me, pulled off the good luck charm that I spent a lot of effort getting, and threw it at me. "Get lost! Ms. White will be my new mother from now on."

"Okay." I threw the charm into the trash can at the gate, opened the car door, and got in. "Let's go, sir."

The car drove away, leaving Quest Villa far behind.
