Overlooked Wife, Officially Done Chapter 10
Trevon just shook his head. "I ordered extra for them. It's not here yet."Okay, fine. No way to say no after that.So we ended up sitting in the lab hallway, eating fried chicken straight from the box like a couple of broke grad students again.Back then, food in the lab was basically a crime. When I got too hungry, I'd sneak takeout into the hallway, thinking I was slick—only for Prof. Beaufort to catch me every single time.Turns out Trevon used to pull the same stunt.Somehow, in those shared screwups, we found this little pocket of nostalgia—two exhausted scientists laughing over old mistakes.Until Dylan's leather shoes slid into view, slicing our little moment in half.He was holding a food container, reaching it out. "You didn't eat much at dinner. Your stomach will hurt."Oh, he remembered.Back when I used to run on fumes during experiments, my stomach gave out. He'd rub it, back then."I've eaten," I said. "Take it back."He looked wrecked. "Do you really have to

"A woman? No way she understands chemistry," he snorted."She's the one Prof. Beaufort at Arlington U practically begged to skip straight to the PhD track," Dylan said, stepping out from behind me. "She's published more ACS papers than you've signed contracts. She doesn't understand? Do YOU?"Mr. Phalen blinked like a deer in headlights. "Mr. Leveson... So, you two know each other?""She's my wife." Dylan smiled at me, clearly expecting a gold star."I'm not," I said.***Dylan's grin died on the spot.He opened his mouth to salvage whatever ego he had left, but another hand brushed his off my shoulder.A new guy walked in, flashing me a warm smile. "You're Judy Jolliffe, Prof. Beaufort's TA, right? I've heard great things. I'm Trevon Tyler—your senior."Ah. The guy from the overseas lab Prof. Beaufort mentioned. He was joining the project."I've seen your past experiments," Trevon added. "Been wanting to meet you. With you on board, this project's only going up."I nodded a

To keep up with Prof. Beaufort, I had to hit the textbooks like a college kid during finals week. Late nights, lots of coffee.Good thing muscle memory's a real thing—once you've studied it, it comes back fast.TA work wasn't too bad. He handled the lectures; I was the behind-the-scenes person, juggling tasks with corporate partners.I never worked at Leveson Corp, but Dylan ran his mouth on so many calls at home, I picked up more than he ever realized.Setting meetings with investors felt like second nature.What I didn't see coming? Dylan walking into one of those meetings.***It'd been over two weeks since I walked out on Dylan.Court date was still a ways off. No texts, no calls—from either of us.If he really wanted to find me, he could. But Millie was probably keeping him busy.At this restaurant on my way to a meetup, I caught a table whispering about their boss.Apparently, he was mid-divorce—total mess for two weeks."Even Ms. Stone tried to comfort him and got ki

"You moved out?" he asked.Wow. He noticed?All I took was the wooden carving Dad gave us as a wedding gift—the one that sat by the door forever. Dylan used to dump his hats and scarves on it like it was just another coat rack. Figured he stopped seeing it a long time ago."Yeah," I said flatly.Silence.For a second, I thought he hung up. Then finally—his voice came through, rough and low."Come back. I didn't mean what I said. I was just angry."Softer than I'd ever heard him. Almost... desperate.Funny. A few hours ago, I was just the "unworthy" wife. Now? He's suddenly humble.I said, "Didn't I basically give you what you wanted by asking for a divorce? What's there to cry about?""No... Millie and I—it's not what you think."He kept fumbling, stuck on repeat.I cut in. "Dylan, I KNOW exactly what you're trying to hold onto. You look down on me, but you're too chicken to actually choose Millie—too scared she'll wreck you again."So you kept me in your back pocket, ditc

Dylan's eyes flicked away.Yana planted her hands on her hips, all fired up. "You're the one who can't get pregnant. How's that Dylan's fault?""Maybe," I said, "it's because Dylan's the one with the problem.""You—!" His face went beet red, finger jabbing at me.He looked ready to explode... but didn't.I stepped closer. "Go on. Prove it. Show me the receipts."But he just stood there, hand in the air, dead silent.I used to think it was my fault too.Back then, we hadn't crashed and burned yet.Millie was still his favorite ghost.We were clingy, all smiles and cuddles—playing house like it meant something.But after two years of no protection and still no baby? Yeah, something wasn't adding up.Worried it was me, I went to the hospital to get checked.That's where I saw him—Dylan, picking up a prescription.I almost called out... until I heard him say,"I can't let her have my child. That'd be like betraying Millie. She hurt me, but I can't do that to her."That stop

Dylan stepped in, closing the gap fast.His breath hit my face—shaky, uneven. "You really dare to divorce me?"Oh, I dare.Patricia rushed over, hands shaking as she clutched mine. "Judy, why so sudden? Did Dylan do something?"She shot him a death glare. "Apologize. Now."He blinked, totally thrown. "If something had happened with Millie, why would I have married you?"Voice all soft like that line ever worked.Old me would've melted. Would've clung to that sliver of fake tenderness, convinced he still loved me.Not now."Dylan," I said, calm as ice. "Dad's gone. You can drop the act. We're done. Go live your little Millie fantasy."He flinched. Then boom—sneer mode activated."This whole meltdown's 'cause I didn't take you to the beach? You're still salty about Millie?"He turned to Patricia. "Mom, you're seriously taking her side? Look at her—what part of that says 'respectable'? Millie and I were working. Judy just nags and throws the divorce card. She needs to be locke
