I Chose Divorce After Reading His Takeout Note
I plan on ordering some food using my husband's phone, yet I've noticed a remark that's been saved on the delivery app.
"The food is for a pregnant lady. Please make sure to be hygienic and use less oil and salt when making the dishes."
I can feel my heart sink.
I turn my gaze toward the bathroom, where my husband is.
I can't figure out why my husband, who's been firm about not wanting a child, has been ordering meals for pregnant women.
After a moment of hesitation, I scroll through the delivery app's order history with shaky hands.
Numerous orders have been placed with the same restaurant, one that specializes in making exquisite dishes designed for pregnant women. Each of these food orders costs more than ten thousand dollars.
My husband's company address has been chosen as the delivery address, and he's also the recipient.
…
After exiting the delivery app, I sit on the couch and stare into space.
As I look at my husband's well-defined muscles, I recall how he, who's about to hit 40, is suddenly quite invested in getting in shape over the past year.
I blurt out asking, "Have you been ordering food to your office often lately?"
My husband freezes for a split second. Then, he fixes me with a gentle gaze.
"I do that once in a while. Why are you suddenly asking about that? By the way, I haven't had the sweet and sour meatballs you make in a long while. Can you make some for me so that I can bring them to the office for my lunch tomorrow?"
I smile at him and agree to his request.
Still, I toss and turn in bed as the remark about the pregnant lady in his phone keeps gnawing at me that night.
