"Don't worry, we'll remarry once Charlie forgives me," Janine Cartwood said while signing the papers. She was confident that I would always love her, which was why she did not read the terms in the divorce papers.In a rare moment, Janine lost herself in thought as the divorce was finalized. When she turned to me to say something, Charlie Lloyd embraced her excitedly. "I can't believe you got divorced for me, Janine! I love you so much!" He clasped her face and kissed her as the staff at the law firm looked at each other and later sympathetically at me. My ex-wife and her lover were kissing each other passionately outside the firm on the day we got officially divorced. Any husband who had experienced this, as I was right now, deserved some pity.I looked away calmly and pushed the doors open to leave. That was when fireworks started exploding in the sky, and Janine was heard saying adoringly, "I customized this fireworks performance just for you, Charlie. You'll see your name once

The family photo was supposed to have our family of three, but Janine had disappeared from it. It flustered her, and she was about to lose her temper when she noticed the wound on my face. A guilty look flashed in her eye, and when she tried to touch my wound, I stood up to avoid it.Janine's hand froze midair with a strange look in her eye. I did not show concern for her as I usually did. Instead, I pointed at the guest room. "You can sleep there tonight, or go back to your house."With that, I returned to my room, but Janine squeezed through the door right before I could shut it tight. Janine pressed her sexy body against me right away. "It's been a long time since you touched me, honey."She did not notice me flinching when she touched me, and continued treating me as the old Joe who would give in to her every whim. I pushed her away and slapped her hard. Janine went blank as she had not been expecting this. She was about to lose her temper when she suddenly grabbed my hand ins

"Jesse, wake up!"He was pale, and his little body was curled up in a ball. My hands trembled as I tried to administer CPR to him.Janine stopped in her tracks, but before she could turn to look, Charlie quickly pulled her out of there. "It's part of his act. Don't be tricked by him."She gave a pause before finally walking away quickly with Charlie. There was no way she would allow me to have control over her. She was the one who should have me under control, and I had no right to lose my temper at her. Janine could not believe that I used our marriage to threaten her and was mad that I dared to reject her when she had given me a chance by allowing us to remarry. Her pace quickened at the thought of this.…Janine's POV:"Let's have lunch together, Janine. A new restaurant just opened up in South City."Janine nodded. "Alright."After walking for a while, Janine suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where's Simon? We should take him with us."Charlie paused for a second

Despite Charlie looking calm and composed, Janine had a feeling that he was involved in what happened to Jesse, but it was not the time to delve into this. She looked tense as she stepped on the gas to speed toward various hospitals. However, she was told at every hospital, "Sorry, this patient isn't at this hospital."Janine got increasingly anxious. Her palms were sweating so much that she could hardly grab hold of the steering wheel. She decided to make her way to Joe's house instead, and when she knocked on the door, she was almost crying.…Joe's POV:When I opened the door, Janine's eyes were swollen, and her voice quivered as she called out, "Jesse…"Before she could finish speaking, I slapped her hard. Charlie was furious with what I did, and he rushed forward to push me away while yelling, "How dare you hit her?!"I stared at him until he stepped into the house, and I punched him in the face. He fell screaming to the ground, and his nose kept bleeding. I kicked him hard
