Semua Bab The Day I Met My Wife's Real Husband: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Meeting Quinn's impatient gaze, I could hear all the contempt and complaints coming from the people around us. Meanwhile, my colleagues repeatedly apologized on my behalf.I clenched my fists, forcing myself to calm down. Finally, I turned and walked away. It wasn't until I parted ways with my coworkers and reached an empty corner downstairs that my legs finally gave out. I collapsed onto the ground.The sun was shining brightly overhead, yet I felt freezing cold. The chill seeped out from my bones, carrying an endless ache with it.Suddenly, my phone buzzed with a message from Quinn. "Don't overthink this. Things aren't what you think they are. Wait for me to explain."I had already seen everything with my own eyes. What was left to explain?I didn't know how long I sat there. It was long enough for the sky to darken, and long enough for a heavy rainstorm to suddenly begin. Yet, I never moved from where I was.Then, not far away, I heard a familiar female voice. "Mom, Dad, it's

Over the next few days, Quinn never contacted me. Instead, Chester sent me a friend request. And through his social media posts, I learned exactly what Quinn had been up to.On the first day, she went back to Chester's hometown with him. They embraced each other tightly amid the cheers and teasing of family and friends.On the second day, they went to the beach together and shared a kiss by the ocean.On the third day, Quinn celebrated Chester's birthday. The moment he blew out the candles, she leaned over and kissed him.Early on the fourth day, Quinn finally called me. Gone was her usual coldness. Her voice was filled with urgency. "Nicholas, come to Astar Group right now. It's about what happened to your parents!"The moment I heard that, I didn't care about anything else. Ignoring Arnold's attempt to stop me, I rushed out the door.What happened to my parents had always been a knot in my heart.When I arrived and stepped into the elevator, several employees were chatting exc

Who else would dare to touch Quinn's phone unless she allowed it?But I couldn't be bothered to argue about this anymore. I simply gave a perfunctory nod.When the phone started ringing again, I urged her, "He's called you so many times. It must be urgent. You should answer it."Hearing that, Quinn gave me a grateful look and took the call."What? How could you be so careless? Alright. I'll head over right away."After hanging up, she glanced at me, about to say something. But being as understanding as ever, I cut her off first. "He must be in a hurry. You should go."Quinn froze. The look in her eyes was complicated and hard to read.Her custom ringtone sounded once more. This time, she didn't hesitate to decline the call. Then, right in front of me, she changed her phone's ringtone.When it rang again, I was stunned. It was a piano piece I had played myself, years ago.She instinctively looked up at me. "Honey, I really do have something urgent to deal with. I'll go check it

Before Chester could even say anything, Quinn hung up without hesitation. Then, she looked at me with a flattering smile.I simply walked toward the door.She hurried after me. "Honey, I made everything clear to him. We can live happily now. I didn't mean to hide the matter of the company from you. The company was just getting off the ground these past two years, and I wanted to surprise you."On the drive home, Quinn talked nonstop, repeating the same flimsy explanations over and over again.When we finally stepped inside the house, she wrapped her arms around me from behind. "Honey, I've made up my mind. Come work at the company. I need you. I'll call a shareholders' meeting tomorrow, and I'll fire Chester too."I know I was wrong before. But trust me. From now on, I won't lie to you anymore. I'll never make you suffer again."With my back to her, I curled my lips into a faint smile. "Sure." Then, I gently pried her arms away and headed toward the study.She tried to follow me
