Chapter 1

Katie Rutherland leaned against the bed, dressed in some sexy lingerie. She beckoned at me seductively with her hand.I just couldn't deny that Katie was extremely beautiful tonight."Honey," she said in her gentle voice. "It's been a while since you've been home. Let's—"A split second later, my phone suddenly started ringing loudly.I answered the call in frustration. Katie's face was turning dark.A while later, I said remorsefully, "I'm sorry, darling, but the client just said they had a last-minute appointment, so I have to go and oversee the contract signing. If all goes well today, we will be starting the project tomorrow."Just as I'd finished speaking, a pillow hit me squarely in my face."Then, leave!" Katie yelled at me. "The only thing you care about is work anyway. You might as well never come home anymore!"I picked up the pillow and placed it back on the bed. Then, I kissed Katie on the forehead and tried to calm her down. "Alright, darling, please don't be mad

Chapter 2

Since I had a few days off, I immediately rushed home as soon as possible. However, Katie was behaving very coldly toward me.I approached her with a huge smile on my face, trying to win her favor with a hug. "Darling, I'm home!"Katie broke free from me and didn't even look up at me before asking, "Where's the bag you promised me?"I produced a designer bag from behind my back like I was putting on a magic show. "Of course it's here, darling!"Katie's expression finally eased up when she saw it. She took the bag from me without another word and started taking loads of pictures of it with her phone.I came closer to her again, but she pushed me away at once. "Go away. I'm busy."I peeked at her phone. She was getting a ton of message notifications on it. It made sense because she owned an online store and was often very busy with orders.I knew that I couldn't argue with her, so seeing that she wasn't in the best mood, I decided to stop pestering her.However…My lips curled u

Chapter 3

My hands shook as I reached for Katie's phone, wanting to take a closer look.However, Katie suddenly shot awake. She looked at me sternly and said, "Jasper Crawford, what are you doing, still not going to sleep? I'm trying to sleep even if you don't want to! Get out! Get out of here!"In the end, I got chased out to spend the night on the couch.The next day, Katie gave me the silent treatment as always.She went out to buy some fruits, meaning to go home to visit her parents.I hesitated. Then, I spoke first, breaking the silence."Darling, I'll go home with you to visit them this year."Katie answered awkwardly, "Jasper, can't you stop making a fuss? It's not like you don't know that my parents don't like you. It's Christmas. I don't want any sparks to fly. Can't you stay home by yourself for a couple of days?"Just like she said, even before we got married, Katie's parents, Mark Rutherland and Janice Everton, had always been vocal about their dissatisfaction with me.While

Chapter 4

Janice told Katie, "Katie, I told you that you shouldn't have married this good-for-nothing lazy bum. I really can't bear looking at him a second longer!"While speaking, Janice still kept stealing glances at me.Katie scoffed and said, "I know, Mom. I'm already regretting it. But he doesn't come home often, so it's fine as long as he gives me money. I know you don't like Jasper, but you're being too obvious."Actually, the coffee beans he gave you are quite expensive. It's just that they seem cheap just because he's the one holding them."Hearing this, Janice sounded a little touched. "At least he knows to do the right thing!"Their conversation left me filled with dread.I had treated them sincerely with all of my heart, yet they were also the ones who hurt me the most.I really wanted to ask Katie if her conscience hurt. When had I ever treated her badly?Although I wasn't a wealthy heir like Janice wanted Katie to marry, my income had been pretty sizable ever since I starte

Chapter 5

I looked at Katie, who was fast asleep next to me and felt a conflict of emotions.I wanted to wake her up and demand to know why she betrayed me.However, I knew that Katie would never admit it even if I were to expose her now. Also, Mark and Janice weren't on my side. They would most definitely help Katie get rid of all evidence before forcing me out of the marriage penniless and broke.So, I had to put up with it for now.But, I was going to make her pay me back for every bit of my heart and effort I'd wasted on her. Of course, I was also going to make sure that she suffered the consequences too.…The next day, I drove up to the main base of the organization.I contacted the system and requested to have a look at Katie's cheating data.The system looked at me with a pitiful expression. "Poor you. How did you end up checking on your own wife this time?"Very soon, the system managed to fetch every bit of evidence there was about Katie's affair. I never thought that Katie ha

Chapter 6

I set my keys down. Katie heard the sound from inside the bedroom.She hurriedly put her clothes back on, but her buttons and collar were all haphazardly done up.The door to the bedroom opened, and Katie came out to meet me."Jasper? W-What are you doing back home?" Katie asked awkwardly. "I thought you'd left in the morning in your car. Weren't you going off to work?"I chuckled coldly and asked her back, "That's right. Why am I here? Didn't expect to see me home?"You used the bag I gave you to suck up to other people. We've been married for years, and you never even let me buy a 200-dollar foot massager for my mother!"I was furious. My bottled-up emotions had finally exploded.I didn't feel sorry for myself. Rather, I felt sorry for my own parents.I hadn't managed to find a good daughter-in-law for them. I even made them endure hardships because of me.When Katie heard this, she got anxious at once. "What do you mean? I didn't do anything wrong! Reggie is my colleague! Y

Chapter 7

After walking out of the courthouse, Katie slapped me in the face with the 25 thousand dollars in cash.She mocked me with a cold laugh, "You're such a broke ass, Jasper Crawford. I'll just consider this 25 thousand dollars charity."After that, she pulled up Reggie's number on her phone and dialed his number right before me.However, the call was disconnected almost immediately.Katie refused to give up and continued calling him repeatedly.Reggie finally picked up on the fifth try. He sounded impatient and frustrated on the phone. "What is it? I'm busy," he said coldly.Katie answered happily, "Reggie, I've gotten my divorce! When do you have time? Let's get registered!"A split second later, another woman's voice was heard on the line. "Sweetie, who's that?"Katie's expression turned stone-cold. She yelled into the phone, "Reggie Gallon! What are you doing now? Is this what you're busy with? What is the meaning of this? Didn't you say that you'd marry me if I got divorced?"

Chapter 8

However, I never thought that I would someday meet Katie again.This time, I was the one who received her divorce case.It was a dark night. It was close to midnight when Katie stumbled into the firm in a disheveled mess.I was just about to get off work and leave. When I saw that I had a client, I stopped what I was doing until I saw Katie's bruised up and swollen face.Compared to the last time I saw her, Katie looked like she had aged decades. She looked tired, spent, and sorry—like a housewife who had been tortured by the realities of life.Katie froze when she saw me. Then, in disbelief, she asked, "Jasper? You're a lawyer now?"She stared at the working tag on my chest for a long while. Then, she ran into my arms and started to cry.She wouldn't stop apologizing to me. "Jasper, I was wrong! I regret it. I regret every second of it! Can you please help me? I don't want to stay with that lunatic anymore! Can we please get back together?"As it turned out, Katie had apparent
