Semua Bab Buddy Sent Wife’s Video on New Year’s Day: Bab 1 - Bab 10

My blood rushed to my head. I kept dialing Elsie Gadd’s number over and over, but she did not pick up. By the time I called again, her phone was already switched off. I sat on the couch and smoked through the entire night.She did not come home all night. It was not until the next morning that she finally returned.“Leon, you’re up so early?”I looked up at her. She did not notice my bloodshot eyes. Those were the obvious signs I had not slept at all.“I was playing cards all night. I’m exhausted. I’m going to sleep first.” She yawned and walked past me straight toward the bedroom.I called out to her. My voice, unused for hours, came out hoarse and rough. “Didn’t you say you had to work overtime at the company last night? How did you end up playing cards?”A flicker of panic crossed her face, but she quickly regained her composure.“It was the first day of New Year's. The company's not that unreasonable. I only stayed a little while before my boss let me off early. Since I was

For an entire week, Elsie did not say a single word to me. Ever since she came back that day, she had been locking herself in the room and rarely came out. Even though we were living under the same roof, we barely crossed paths.In order to gather more evidence, I hacked into Elsie’s computer. As expected, I found a large number of chat records with other men, spanning nearly three years.The most frequent name was a man called Aaron. Their conversations were explicit, and the number of hotel bookings was shockingly high.I stood frozen for a long time before slowly coming back to my senses.I searched everywhere for the video my friend had sent me but could not find it on her computer. There were no other videos either. It seemed like she had saved it somewhere else. I carefully went through every record I could find.It was not until after we got married that I truly saw another side of her.She was a gentle and dutiful wife in front of me. In front of friends and colleagues, s

Elsie stared at me in shock, unable to believe I was really asking for a divorce. After all these years, I had been nothing more than a doormat, revolving my entire life around her.She had long grown used to my compliance. She never imagined there would come a day when I would actually leave her.“You’re really divorcing me? Once we divorce, there won’t be any chance of getting back together. Even then, you still want this?”I glanced at her, a little puzzled. Did she really think I was just playing hard to get?“Yeah, and I don’t plan on getting back together with you.”Elsie fell silent again. Panic slowly crept into her expression. She thought I would always stay by her side unconditionally, no matter what she did. She never expected me to break the pattern.After all, I was good to her, and I earned well. She could not bear to lose me. So for the first time, she lowered her pride.“Honey, don’t be mad. I’ll cut ties with them, okay? I won’t contact them anymore. Stop making

Elsie came home and saw that I had already packed away almost half the house. My actions finally made her panic. “Leon! What are you doing? Are you really ending this marriage?!”I kept packing without responding. I had no interest in answering such pointless questions.My silence only made her more anxious, as though she was about to lose something important.Even though she had been entangled with other men, she had never once thought about divorcing me. Her thoughts, strangely enough, had always remained fixed on me.“Leon, please don’t do this, okay? We’re not getting divorced. You said you’d stay with me forever.”For a moment, I was pulled back to our wedding vows. Back then, I had been full of hope, imagining our future, even thinking about what our children might look like. I believed I could give her happiness, because she had chosen me.However, all of that was in the past now. I no longer loved her.“Don’t touch me. I feel disgusted.”She was stunned for a moment. Sh

Elsie’s face went pale. She thought that as long as she came clean, I would forgive her, but I still wanted a divorce. “I told you, I’m not agreeing to this! Even if I die, I’m staying with you!”I looked at her coldly, like she was nothing more than a slab of meat. “Are you sure? If you are, then I’m not getting involved in your situation anymore. Whatever happens to you after that has nothing to do with me.”She hesitated for a moment, caught between freedom and what she thought was love.I already knew what she would choose, so I was not worried about it at all.Sure enough, after a long pause, she gave in. “Fine. We’ll go through with the divorce tomorrow. But don’t forget what you promised me.”Everything went smoothly and faster than I had expected.The next day, we went to the courthouse. Elsie agreed without much resistance to leave with nothing.While signing the papers, I noticed a hint of reluctance on Vincent’s face. It was as though he did not want her to accept tho
