Semua Bab I Chose Divorce After Reading His Takeout Note: Bab 1 - Bab 8

Just five minutes after Henry arrived at the office, Loretta shared a new post on Instagram and tagged me."My dear hubby is really good at cooking. He prepared this dish for me because he noticed I preferred sweet and sour food after getting pregnant. I have also grown tired of takeouts. Aren't you all jealous?"I looked at the photo. I could tell from the background that it was taken in the private lounge inside Henry's office. On the table were the sweet and sour meatballs I made last night.We were almost inseparable when we had just gotten married.Henry had this private lounge built for me. He also bought a daybed and placed it next to the window.He once promised me with a firm look in his eyes. "Honey, this will be our secret base from now on."Now, Henry was letting another woman sit on the daybed while enjoying the sweet and sour meatballs I made.I couldn't stand it anymore. I immediately pressed the like button on Loretta's post.Then, I left a comment."I heard th

Henry's eyes turned red as he stared at the swollen area of my lips.He said in a choked voice, "Honey, it was my fault yesterday. If Retta hadn't told me about it, I probably wouldn't notice that you got hurt."Retta doesn't have enough experience in making pastries. She mistook some strong alkali for white sugar and made those inedible cream puffs. None of you did anything wrong. It was my fault for failing to care for you."I pushed away the bouquet of roses and said flatly, "Henry, I've had enough. Let's get a divorce."He hugged me tightly and replied in a gentle voice, "You've also asked for a divorce yesterday, but I won't agree to it! I'm proposing to you one more time today. Let's just pretend that none of this has happened, alright?"I squirmed free from his grip. Henry had probably forgotten all about our promise from back then.During our first year of marriage, I said, "If you happen to break your vows to me one day, I'm willing to give you one chance and one chance

Henry and Loretta begged for mercy as the police escorted them away.On the other hand, their friends who had mocked and criticized me earlier were quietly exchanging glances.Thomas stepped forward. He bowed slightly and apologized to me."We're really sorry. My friends and I were tricked by Henry and Loretta. We accused you of being the mistress without checking the facts first."We'd like to offer our apologies for any offense we may have caused. Could you perhaps consider not suing us?"Someone beside him chimed in, "He's right. We were deceived and misled by the marriage certificate Loretta posted on her Instagram account. If we had known that you were the lady from the famous Miller family, we would never dare to offend you in any way."I responded monotonously, "Clearly, all of you treated me with scorn and disdain earlier because you thought I was a nobody."In that case, I'm sorry, but I won't accept any of your apologies. Please contact my attorney and do what you must

Ever since we talked it out, I no longer felt pressured when facing Karter.Apart from spending time with my parents, Karter would bring me to various places to experience fun, exciting activities whenever he was free.He took me to the desert for a camping trip, where we did some stargazing. Also, Karter would sometimes invite his friends over on the weekend for a barbecue gathering.There was one time when I really got into growing vegetables. Despite the scorching heat, Karter stayed with me under the sun as we turned the soil and removed the weeds.…On Valentine's Day, he invited me to the beach and said he had a surprise for me.There were only the two of us on the quiet, deserted beach.Karter pulled out a diamond ring and got down on one knee. His eyes brimmed with affection and tenderness as he gazed at me."Adeline, during the past three years, I tried to treat you as a regular friend. I had also tried to stay where you wouldn't be able to notice me and just watch ove
