All Chapters of Married to a Cheater, Reborn After Divorce: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Facing my questions, my wife, Lilith Ingram, shifted from guilty fluster at the start to a reckless abandon, then finally just admitted it flat out."I can't forget Hayden. I love him so much it's driving me crazy. He didn't force me to send him money. I did it willingly. If you're mad, just come at me. Don't make things hard for him."My heart broke.The love I fought so hard to protect turned out to be a one-man show.My daughter, Maisy Ingram, jumped in. "Calm down, Dad. You're already so old. Why even talk about divorce? There's no such thing as a marriage that lasts forever these days. People stray."Besides, Mom's innocent. She and Hayden grew up together. They were childhood sweethearts. If there was anything going on, do you really think you could've married Mom?"She spoke with such righteous conviction, her face masked in genuine bewilderment.It was as if she truly didn't understand why I was so angry.But did she really not get it?Back when just feeding ourselves

I pointed at the old photo and said to Lilith with some envy, "He's from our hometown. A backwater place like that actually produced an expert sent abroad."Studying overseas must've cost a fortune. I saw he did both his bachelor's and master's there. No way he could've done that without some serious family backing."Lilith barely reacted, but she stared at the photo for a long time. Her eyes shone bright. She was clearly proud."True talent shines everywhere. He was born unlucky but lucky to have someone to help him. Comparing yourself to others just makes you bitter. Being jealous won't change anything. You just don't have the talent. When he joins the research institute, you'll still be just an average worker."Her words hit me hard, and I never expected that the "someone" Lilith mentioned was herself."Are you spacing out?" A cold voice snapped me back.Lilith caught me staring and frowned. "Don't sulk in front of me. If you don't want to sleep, get out."Perhaps my expressi

I didn't have to work or wake up early to cook. I slept until I felt like getting up. Dirty clothes and messy floors were handled by housekeeping.All I had to do was enjoy myself. I'd watch the scenery while sipping tea. Even my aching back stopped hurting.But Lilith and Maisy couldn't sit still anymore.When Maisy showed up, I was scrolling through short videos on my phone.She brimmed with fury, her eyes darting like poisoned daggers across the room filled with shopping bags."Dad, how could you waste money like this? Why buy all this junk when you can save it for my wedding gift instead?"I didn't miss the flash of greed in her eyes.Maisy grabbed my arm, her chest heaving. It was clear that she was furious."Why live in a hotel when you have a home? Aren't you worried people will laugh at us?"She pulled hard. I couldn't break free and had no choice but to follow her back.As the sun dipped low, I looked at Maisy's twisted expression and suddenly remembered picking her

I sneered coldly. "Since you've accepted a new father, just cut ties with me. I don't expect you to care for me or support me in my later years. And I won't give you a dime for your wedding. We're done. Whether you live or die, it's none of my business."Maisy froze, fire blazing in her eyes, but she didn't dare say a word.I lifted my severed fingers and looked at her with nothing but pity."You want to call the cops on me for domestic violence? Go ahead. Make sure you tell them exactly why these two fingers are missing."Maisy's arrogant bravado vanished instantly.I glanced down at Lilith, who was slumped on the floor, and scoffed inwardly. "Hayden gets more than two thousand dollars a month, right?"I tossed down a stamped asset document and smiled bitterly."Two years ago, you bought a riverside apartment downtown in full cash, using the excuse that Maisy needed a house to get married. Six months ago, the property was transferred to your parents, but after some twists and t

Lilith's face turned ashen. She bit her lip as she sobbed. "It's my fault. I wasn't in my right mind. But I can't undo the past. Hayden is seriously ill. He broke his leg for me. It left him with chronic pain. If I don't help him now, he won't survive!'"I felt the absurdity hit me hard. "Chronic pain? Have you ever thought about how a seriously ill man manages to study abroad in a foreign country?"I slapped screenshots of Hayden's social media posts right in front of Lilith."You've never seen these, have you? Hayden returned to Valoria a long time ago. Thanks to you, he bought four apartments, married three times, has a 15-year-old kid, and has multiple illegitimate children."Last month, he was golfing in Telysia. This month, he's sightseeing at Vintara Bay. He's living a good life. He told you he's returning to Valoria because he's divorced again. He's old, and it's hard to find another woman, so he picked you."Lilith looked like she'd been struck by lightning. Her pupils di
