《My Wife's Secret Husband》全部章節：第 1 章 - 第 9 章

My mother-in-law, Pauline Greer, tried to speak. "You—"The man cut her off with a yell. "How dare you open that filthy mouth! Shut it!"Your germs are everywhere! You've contaminated the whole hospital! Someone disinfect this area! "Now!"Pauline had never been spoken to that way in her entire life. Her face went scarlet with humiliation. I pulled her behind me and stared down the man in front of me.I could not imagine how Giselle Bedford, who spent her days buried in medical journals and patient files, could possibly know someone this crude.The nurse was not about to let him keep going. Keeping order in the ward was part of her job."Sir, please stop causing a scene. This is a hospital! Even a child knows to keep their voice down.""Those rules are for people like you! Do you think you're on my level?"The man tilted his head back and barked at the nurse, "You! Get these two filthy things out of here!"I could tell the nurse was doing everything she could to hold her ton

The suspicion I had suppressed came rushing back. I could not convince myself anymore."Mr. Shaw, this is—"The sales associate hovered over the black card, unsure whether to accept or refuse it. She leaned close to my ear for direction.I was already fairly certain the card was Giselle's, but I needed to be absolutely sure."Let him have it."She only relaxed once I gave the word. She took the card from the man's hand and ran it through the machine.When the receipt printed, the card number on it was one I knew by heart. The sight of it burned through my chest.The man snatched up the gift bag with a smug grin and shot me a look over his shoulder."See that, you broke deadbeat? The rest of you, stop letting just anyone into the store or you'll catch some filthy disease from him!"The words were so harsh that the sales associate frowned."Don't go spreading lies like that!""Do you have any idea who I am?" He let out a short, incredulous laugh, as if he had just heard the fu

The man from the hospital was right outside, trying to force his way past security."Do you have any idea who I am? I'm Giselle Bedford's fiancé! How dare you block me! I'll have every one of you fired!"His rude behavior made even his expensive custom suit seem cheap. While he was still arguing with the guards, he spotted Giselle rushing toward the entrance."Giselle, babe!"Hearing him call my wife's name with that kind of familiarity killed whatever hope I had left.His rough voice and overly familiar tone made everyone cringe., made everyone within earshot cringe."Look at them! They actually tried to keep me out! Do something about it! No, just fire them all!"Giselle did not rush to his side the way I had expected. She stopped in her tracks."Who are you?"Pauline and I both frowned. She was the one who had told him to come, yet the confusion in her voice did not sound rehearsed.Before any of us could make sense of it, the man's face crumpled. "It's me! Dennis! Dennis

"Scott, what's wrong?"Pauline's voice reached me at the same moment a tear landed on my arm. I had not even realized I was crying.Seeing the concern in her eyes, I could no longer hold myself together."Mom, I just overheard Giselle on the phone. I think I really am going to have to get a divorce."The pain left me struggling to get the words out, but I trusted Pauline to understand what I meant."If you have proof, then I support you. I failed to raise my daughter right, and you're the one paying for it."But listen to me, Scott. Even if you and Giselle divorce, I'm still your mother. Losing a daughter but gaining a son isn't so bad."I did not quite catch her last words, because Dennis appeared out of nowhere, grabbed me by the arm, and slapped me across the face before I could react."You shameless piece of garbage, stealing another man's woman! And you have the nerve to cry about it?"Figures. A guy who sells himself for a living is bound to be full of tricks!"His sudd

The first thing I did when I got home was call a lawyer. I had every asset in the household appraised and divided strictly according to the law.Within two hours, the divorce papers were in my hands. I went through every clause with painstaking care, but I stalled at the very last step.I spent the entire night staring at the signature line. It was not until morning sunlight crept across the desk that I finally wrote my name.The moment I capped the pen, I felt lighter than I had in days.I took the papers and arrived at the courthouse before Giselle. She was not far behind. The white Bentley pulled up in front of me.What I had not expected was the black Mercedes right behind it, the one with five sevens on the plate.I could not believe it. She needed a whole motorcade to sign divorce papers? Was she planning to marry Dennis right after?Then two Giselles stepped out of the cars, and my brain short-circuited.They were identical, with the same build and same face, down to the
