Married to a Man Who Doesn't Understand the Silent Treatment のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

Amanda laughed at first, but when she realized that I was serious, the amusement on her face gradually changed to a pitying look.Taking a sip of her coffee, she showed me the Van Cleef & Arpels bracelet on her wrist."Last month, Mr. Goodwin brought me along to a cocktail party. I didn't like the strong scent of alcohol wafting off him and complained a little. The next day, I found this bracelet on my workstation."I paused in surprise. There was indeed a day last month when Chandler had imbibed quite a bit of alcohol, as when he returned home, his face had been completely red.I was incredibly allergic to alcohol and would get rashes all over me with even a whiff of it, so I had voluntarily offered to sleep in the guest bedroom. That touched a nerve, and Chandler gave me the cold shoulder for an entire week straight."Then, there's this hair clip." Amanda unclasped the crystal hair clip on the back of her head. The Balenciaga diamonds embedded in them sparkled dazzlingly under t

A laugh bubbled out of me, and I sent Chandler a voice message in a tone that was tinged with both self-mockery and resignation, "Don't worry. I won't do anything."Because I had already made up my mind to leave him.I checked the time, only to see that it was midnight. It wouldn't be convenient to have him come back now. Hence, after some thought, I said, "Chandler, stop staying at the hotel and come back home tomorrow night. I have an agreement that needs your signature."…The next day, I woke up bright and early to start packing my belongings.At first, I thought about making dinner, but after a moment of consideration, I decided against it. Chandler had never liked my cooking. If he were to see a table full of dishes I cooked, he would likely grow unhappy again.With a grin on my face, I swiftly ordered some takeout.Soon, it was 6:00 pm, yet Chandler still hadn't replied to my message.I accepted the takeout the food delivery driver handed me, then gave him an extra tip t

Chandler was rooted to the spot, his complexion deathly pale. He opened his mouth as though to say something, but I had already turned to start packing up my personal documents and clothes.Opening the closet, I picked out only the clothes that I often wore and stuffed them into my suitcase. As for all the jewelry he had ever given me for our various anniversaries, I didn't take a single one. Those shiny things that I had once begged desperately for now only hurt my eyes.When Chandler realized that I was serious about leaving, he abruptly exploded with fury. "You're an adult, aren't you? Can you not be so impulsive? You bring up divorce without any warning, yet you claim this isn't due to a fit of anger? Can't we just sit down and talk it out?"I zipped up my suitcase, not a hint of emotion crossing my face. "What's there to talk about? About how you used my resources to expand your connections, all while being intimate with your assistant at your office? Or should we be talking

"It's fine, Mr. Chance. I understand," I said gently. I didn't want to put him in a difficult position.After hanging up, I began contacting other law firms.However, what I never expected was that, even after making over 20 calls over the next few days and heading to every law firm in the city, they would all react the same.At first, they would be quite warm when asking about the details of the case. Yet, the moment they heard the name "Chandler Goodwin", there was an instant change in their attitudes as they refused to take on my case.Finally, a younger lawyer sneakily told me the truth, "Mr. Goodwin has informed all the law firms in the city that if anyone dares to take on your case, that would mean making an enemy out of him."Standing on the street with my phone clutched in my hand, I suddenly found this city, which I had stayed in for years, cold and unfamiliar.When I thought about it, this situation was actually quite ironic. During our university years, I had better

"You and Corey—""Mr. Suther and I are simply superior and subordinate, nothing more," I interrupted Chandler. "Don't just assume that everyone is as shameless as you are."Seizing the moment, Corey stood up. "Since you're not showing any sincerity at all, Mr. Goodwin, we'll be taking our leave. Jennifer still has an important meeting tomorrow."By the way, just to let you know, you'll likely receive a court summons regarding the divorce within a week. I'll do everything in my power to help my employee win this court case."Corey had purposely emphasized the words "my employee", probably to tick off Chandler.Unsurprisingly, Chandler fell for it.When leaving the restaurant, I could feel his gaze burning holes into my back. However, this time, I didn't look back.The chilly night breeze stung my cheeks slightly, but it only made me feel even more clear-headed."Are you okay?" Corey asked gently.I nodded, throwing him a relieved smile. "I've never been better."…Due to Chan
