All Chapters of My Wife Skipped a Funeral for His Birthday: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

As soon as Cara Lavigne finished speaking, she angrily gritted her teeth and hung up.I stopped walking. Slowly, I put away my phone and looked toward the entrance of the funeral home.After straightening the white flower in my chest pocket that had become crooked, I lifted my foot and walked inside.The next second, my phone vibrated with a social media update notification—Warren had just posted something.It was a long post saying he meant nothing by his earlier post and that he was only sharing the joy of having someone celebrate his birthday with him. He also apologized to me. And just like the previous post, he had specifically tagged me at the end.Less than a minute after it was posted, it already had many likes and comments.It was such an elementary provocation, yet Cara couldn't see through it.She was usually so meticulous and thoughtful. How could she not realize Warren's intentions? It was more likely that she simply didn't want to expose him."Why would he nee

Cara was absolutely unconcerned.She went on, "If he were really busy, he'd be at the office right now instead of scrolling through posts during work hours and leaving random comments just because he thinks he's contributed so much! He hasn't even apologized, and now he's throwing a tantrum because I scolded him."I couldn't help clenching my fists.It wasn't her efforts alone that built the company into the successful business it was today. I had contributed just as much, if not more, than she had. Over the years, among all the projects we had, the ones that truly generated profits and turned things around had all been projects I secured.Not only was she ungrateful, but she had also secretly stripped away my authority behind my back.I had turned a blind eye to it because we were family. Yet, she showed no restraint whatsoever.Not only had she promoted Warren over some even more qualified people, but she had also given him management authority beyond his rank and even person

In the comments section, there was one reply where Cara referred to herself as Warren's girlfriend.Everything she had done for Warren now, she had once done for me. She was having such a good time that she probably wouldn't be back anytime soon.Just as I was heading to my usual restaurant with the divorce decree, intending to celebrate by myself, I unexpectedly heard laughter and conversation from Cara's family and Warren.Inside the private dining room, Cara's mother, Daisy Brown, held Warren's hand affectionately and looked at Cara.She said, "Listen to me. Don't miss out on a good man like Warren. Hurry up and divorce Julian. All these years, he's been mediocre at the company and never amounted to much. He's been living off you, like a useless freeloader. I can't even hold my head up when I go out to play poker with my friends."I've heard Warren is very outstanding. Not only is he capable at work, but he's also popular at the company. Sometimes, he can even keep an eye on th

Cara froze. As her gaze landed on the divorce decree in front of her, she looked surprised.The others exchanged glances and instantly looked delighted, especially Carl and Carly."Why didn't you tell us, Cara? We were even discussing with Mom how to persuade you to get divorced. This is great! We're going to have a new brother-in-law!"Daisy's anger also subsided considerably. The look she gave me was less disdainful, and she even started blaming Cara.She complained, "Cara, you should've told me you got divorced. You made me waste so much of my breath to convince you."Cara snapped out of it and immediately denied it. "I didn't divorce him.""Then this must be a fake decree. He brought a fake divorce decree to scare you. Does he really think you can't live without him? Haha!"Carl and Carly burst into laughter. Warren laughed as well.Cara snatched the divorce decree from me and tore it apart in front of everyone. She scattered the pieces at my feet like trash."Julian, you

"He grew up surrounded by rumors and gossip, and yet you're using such underhanded tactics to harm him. How can you be so heartless?" Cara accused.Once again, I didn't say a single word. Even so, Cara placed all the blame on me."Did Warren really have such a hard life growing up?" Carl and Carly asked curiously.Cara patiently explained Warren's past to Daisy and the Lavigne siblings, occasionally glaring at me.They instantly felt a lot of sympathy for him."My gosh! When did Julian become such a vicious person? Warren is already sensitive and insecure by nature, and he still tried to harm him!"As Cara talked about Warren's experiences of being bullied, I saw her eyes soften with pity.But all of that had been fabricated by Warren. It was merely a way to cover up the fact that he had once bullied others and to paint himself as a victim.I had investigated the matter long ago and even placed the evidence right in front of Cara. Not only did she refuse to believe me, but she
