Wanting Both Worlds, Getting None Chapter 8
Cindy swayed and stumbled, nearly collapsing to the ground. She desperately tried to rush toward me, but the sight of the cat in my arms made her recoil in fright.I'd always wanted to have a cat. However, Cindy was allergic to cat fur, so it just never happened.After the divorce, the very first thing I did was adopt a cat.Gritting her teeth, Cindy suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist."Gary, please. I can court you all over again. I'll treat you so much better this time," she pleaded pitifully.I was tickled by her words and looked at her mockingly."And how exactly would you prove that? You do have a history of cheating, after all."Cindy froze, then took a deep breath and swore through gritted teeth."If I ever do anything to betray you again, may lightning strike me dead."Taking in her flushed face and rapid breathing, I replied flatly, "That's a bit much. But my cat here doesn't agree to us being together. Sorry, I'll have to politely decline."Cindy stiffened. A

The day of my court hearing arrived.With the abundant evidence I presented, Cindy was—without question—ordered to leave the marriage with nothing.Not only did she lose the house, but all her savings were awarded to me as well.When leaving the courtroom, Cindy looked at me in a daze. Andy and Kevin, on the other hand, were gnashing their teeth in hatred toward me.Back at home, I threw all of their belongings out the door.Andy still tried to cling on, refusing to leave and hurling insults outside.I didn't cut him any slack. I called the property management and had them all thrown out.The very next day, I listed the house with a real estate agent to sell it.While showing someone around the property, I happened to run into Cindy.She jolted, and a look of disbelief spread across her face."Gary, this was our marital home. Are you really going to sell it? Why? How can you be so heartless? No, I won't let you sell this house!"I violently shook off her hand, then pulled ou

The next morning, the police called me down to the station. I was also able to get an official domestic violence report from them.Immediately afterward, I went to the court and filed for divorce.By the time I got home, I found that Cindy had already been released and was back in the house. Andy and Kevin were there too.All three of them glared at me furiously.The moment Cindy thought about what had happened yesterday, she gnashed her teeth in hatred toward me."Gary, you've got some nerve coming back here. You think about what you did yesterday. What kind of vicious husband tries to send his own wife to jail?"Anger flared up in her eyes. Furious beyond control, she hurled the glass tumbler in her hand heavily onto the floor.If it weren't for the warning she'd received at the police station yesterday, she might have aimed the glass tumbler at my head instead of the floor.Andy, full of righteous indignation, also spoke up in her defense."Exactly! Gary, you don't treat Ci

Cindy whipped her head around to look at me, a flash of disbelief crossing her eyes.Just as she was about to speak, I had already stepped forward and opened the door.Two groups of people had arrived. One consisted of officers from the local police station, and the other was the staff from the county recorder's office.I showed them the deep red strangulation marks on my neck, then pointed at Cindy and said, "She committed domestic violence against me. Officers, I'd like you to deal with this."After that, I pointed at Andy. "Also, this property was transferred to him without my knowledge."In just a few concise sentences, I laid out the entire course of events.Andy and Kevin instinctively hid behind Cindy, their earlier arrogant and domineering demeanor completely gone.Confronted with the police investigation, Cindy repeatedly explained, "We were just messing around."She shot me a meaningful look, but I only responded with a mocking smile."You nearly strangled me to deat

As Cindy berated me, utterly convinced of her own righteousness, something inside me snapped, and I abruptly burst out laughing. But as the laughter escaped, tears fell right along with it.I was about to speak, but Andy beat me to it."Gary, I know you don't like Kevin and me, but if you have to make things difficult, just take it out on me alone. Kevin's just a kid—he doesn't understand anything."Cindy's expression grew even darker at these words. She held Kevin in her arms, comforting him.Hiding behind her, Andy shot me a taunting and venomous grin. He was getting back at me for refusing to do as I was told earlier.Cindy didn't want to hear my explanation either. She simply grabbed me by the arm and roughly dragged me out of the bakery."Since you can't stand Andy and Kevin, why don't you just get lost and find somewhere else to live?"I could help but let out a cold snort. "Let's just get a divorce then. That way, I can make room for Andy, and he can live with you openly.

That night, I sat in the shop until daybreak without receiving a single word of concern from Cindy.She didn't saunter in until the breakfast rush was long over, and the first thing she did was chew me out."It's late—why haven't you opened the shop yet? What's the point of having you here to watch over the place?"Her tone made it sound as if I owed her and that I deserved nothing better than to slave away for her.For the past three years, she and I had been running a bakery together.Every day, before dawn even broke, I had to start kneading dough and then make all the baked goods. All these heavy, grueling tasks had always fallen on me. Cindy only had to come in and man the cashier.But today, all of a sudden, I just didn't want to go on like this anymore.I blinked my dry, stinging eyes and let out a soft, bitter laugh, my gaze settling indifferently on her."From now on, you can do all this yourself. The bakery is in your name anyway, so it has nothing to do with me."Ci
