All Chapters of Taste Testing for My Husband’s Secretary: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Adults can't lie! You’re going to get Pinocchio's nose!“Your husband is so handsome! Can I see the pictures of you two together?”I was quite dumbfounded upon hearing this. It just occurred to me that despite having been together for so many years, the photo on my phone case was our only picture together.Ethan had always insisted he was not fond of pictures. That was the reason the only picture we had together was the one we took on the day we got married.The child’s mother must have noticed something was off. She proceeded to pull the girl away from me before excusing her daughter’s manners embarrassingly, “Sorry about that, it’s just kids being kids.”I brushed it off and commented no further.Then, I grabbed my phone again and scrolled mindlessly.As soon as I opened my feed, I saw a new post Cecil Greene made only a minute ago.It was a screenshot of a post Ethan had shared on his page, captioned, [Loving you was the best choice I have ever made.]I froze the moment I

“This? There was this man whose wife was hospitalized, and he gave a robot to all of the kids so that we would keep our voices down and not disturb his wife.“Do you like it? If you do, I’ll give it to you!“Huh, strange. Come to think of it, that man kind of looks like the man in that picture on your phone case…”Every word she said made me grow more desolate.When she stopped speaking, I felt as if my strength had been drained and that I could not remain standing. I staggered backward and slumped into the bed with my face deathly pale.I was more than familiar with the robot. After I started dating Ethan, we dedicated ourselves to inventing a high-sensitivity special-purpose robot.Developing a high-sensitivity, special-purpose robot had been our shared dream for years.It was partly influenced by the fact that I carried a rare, hereditary genetic disease. I remembered how Ethan had expressed to me with tears in his eyes, “With my company and your technical knowledge, we’re go

[But the truth is, Cecil was the first person who came to mind.]Though it was only a couple of sentences on a page, I was bawling.Loyalty was a choice, and Ethan had made a deliberate choice to forsake it.I did not read the rest of the diary because there was no longer a point to doing so.I picked up my phone to call my best friend, Tasha Payton.“Hey! What’s the occasion for a busy woman like you to call me?”“Hey Tasha, would you please draft a divorce paper for me?”Upon noting how serious I sounded, Tasha changed her tone to match mine. “What happened?”With that, I proceeded to tell her everything that had happened recently, to which she responded with a drawn-out silence.At last, she sighed exasperatedly before expressing, “Ten years all to get to such a tragic ending. What happened to all that vow of loving you till the end? What kind of ending?”I forced a smile and commented ironically, “Divorce.”“Babe, you made the right choice. Don’t ever doubt yourself for

I picked up my phone, opened my conversation with Cecil, and showed the picture to Ethan.“Do you have anything to say about this?”The moment Ethan saw the picture, his face turned ghostly pale. He immediately reached out to grab my hand, “Honey, it’s not like that. It’s not what you think it is.“She must have photoshopped this. She's trying to sabotage our relationship! You're the one who's pregnant!”I shrugged off his hand and stated plainly, “Alright. If that’s what you think it is, then I’ll go get tested again.”A strange look came upon his face upon hearing this. He turned away from me and assured me uncertainly, “No need for that. You’re the one who is pregnant.”“How long are you going to keep lying to me?”When I looked at how he was still keeping up the charade, my emotions reached a tipping point.He must have sensed how upset I was by then and realized the cat was out of the bag. With that, he took my hand and started to plead with his eyes reddened, “Honey, it's

The moment Ethan leaned in closer, my first instinct was to shove him away.He was visibly disappointed by my reaction. “Honey, why are you pushing me away?”I backed away from him to avoid his touch while brushing him off indifferently and said, “I’m sick. I don’t want you to catch a fever from me.”With that, I ignored him and turned away to sleep.It was so quiet in the bedroom that I could hear him sighing again and again next to me throughout the night.In the past, I would have turned around to hug him. I would have done anything to comfort him and take away his pain.But now, all I felt was irritation.“Do you want to go back to your room to sleep? I can’t sleep with you here.”As soon as I said so, he descended into a deathly silence.After a while, I could feel him getting out of bed and walking out of the room.After he was gone, I drifted off to sleep again.That night, I had the best sleep I had ever had.When I woke up the next morning, the first thing I did wa
