New House, New Dinner Guest, New Divorce

I pursed my lips and continued tidying things up without showing any emotion. "I heard you mention before that your fellow female driver is trying to get a divorce."Axel Kramer and I were sorting through our miscellaneous possessions after our move.Not noticing that something was off in my expression, he replied, "Yeah, because of what happened half a year ago. Her husband got drunk and kept mumbling about his first crush and saying that he regretted not confessing back then."Around that time, he'd been secretly chatting with that woman, and Lindsay found out. Ever since then, they'd been sleeping in separate rooms. Recently, things flared up again. They even filed for divorce and are now in the waiting period to get their divorce certificate."I responded with a hint of sarcasm, "She's busy getting a divorce, but she still has time to come over and join your housewarming, huh?"Axel picked up on my tone and said with a laugh, "We're just friends. What were you thinking? Beside

When Axel's other driver friends heard that, they started making teasing comments."Oh, wow. A 250-dollar perfume, eh? Axel sure is generous to Lindsay.""Tell me about it. Last time I asked him to buy me a perfume, he told me to get lost.""Lindsay is the princess of our group. Isn't it normal for Axel to spoil her?"Lindsay quickly waved her hands to dismiss them. "Alright, that's enough. If you keep going, Susanna will get upset."She turned to me with a worried look. "You're not mad, right?"One of the drivers chimed in, "Oh, she won't be. Everyone knows Axel's wife has the best temper. Back when we played games every night, my wife got jealous, but she didn't. She's incredibly tolerant.""Exactly. You and Axel even used matching profile pictures, and you had those couple accessories on your cars. She didn't get mad at all. When you were upset about your divorce, Axel even bought you perfume to cheer you up. We're all jealous of that kind of friendship."I stared at Lindsay

When the Kramers arrived, they saw me sitting at the dining table and silently crying alone.They were about to persuade me to calm down and think it over, but their words caught in their throats upon taking in the scene before them.Axel and Lindsay were sprawled on the couch in an intimate posture. Worst of all, Axel even had his arm around Lindsay's waist. They were like a married couple.Just now, Lindsay deliberately acted drunk and came over to cling to Axel when she saw he hadn't come back to the master bedroom.I sat at the dining table with tears streaming down my face, not saying a word. It had never been in my nature to be confrontational.Not long after Axel became a rideshare driver, he met Lindsay. Since then, her name appeared frequently in his conversations with me.When we went shopping, he would hold his phone and grin foolishly at it. When he complained to me, anywhere from eight out of ten of his sentences would involve her.My heart had already been on alert

Evelyn was very sensible, so she stayed with me at the hotel.The next day, I took her with me and sold the new house. The property deed was in my name, so I didn't need Axel's consent.As he refused the divorce, we went back and forth for a long time. In the end, I decided to file for divorce in court.Seeing that I wasn't giving him any leeway at all, Axel snapped and shouted, "So what if you earn more than me? All your money is with me. I'm never giving it back! This apartment was bought during the marriage. It's marital property!"I ignored his shouting and calmly took out all the evidence of his infidelity. I also presented proof that he had voluntarily transferred all the money back to me.In total, it came to 10 thousand dollars. It wasn't much. Although I earned more, I also spent a lot. I liked traveling, hoarding accessories, and buying all kinds of things.When he saw all the evidence I presented, Axel completely lost his composure.Furious and embarrassed, he shouted
