But I didn't say it after some consideration.
She paused for a while before saying, "Well, then you should make more money for me to live a better life."
I caressed her head and said, "Of course, I will." I bent my head over her, but when my lips were about to touch hers, she unnaturally turned her face to the side.
My kiss fell on the corner of her mouth.
Seeing my questioning eyes, Rena scratched her hair uneasily.
"Hey, we are no longer a young and passionate couple. Why are you doing this?"
My eyes darkened. Every time I came back late at night, she was reluctant to let me touch her and always said, "It's too late now. I'm too tired."
But her attitude toward me and what happened today made me suspicious.

Complicated feelings flickered in my eyes. I turned to look at my wife, who was already fast asleep.
The dim bedside lamp shone on her face. I leaned over and kissed her, but what she said sent a chill down my spine.
She whispered in a haze, "Chester, be gentle."
Chester Wilson was my wife's first love.
He was also the father of the child she tutored.
I lay on the bed, my thoughts running wild.
I kept comforting myself that it was just something she mumbled in her dream, but I still couldn't help but take the phone that she had placed next to her pillow.
I unlocked her phone by simply putting it above her face.
With trembling hands, I clicked open her chat with Chester.
At the sight of the blank chat, I breathed a sigh of relief.
I continued to click on a hotel booking app on her phone.
Hope in my heart was completely shattered when I saw numerous hotels booking records!
In the past month, she had booked a hotel room for at least 20 days! The remaining 10 days were when I slept at home!
My chest kept heaving violently. "Rena, how dare you!" I raged in my heart.
I took pictures of it all with my phone.
Suddenly, Chester sent a video and a voice message.
"Honey, you were hot in bed last night. Scream a little louder next time.
“How about we do it at your place next time? Your husband doesn't come home very often anyway. Let's save the expense of a hotel room so that I can buy more cigarettes.
I didn't click open the video, but I could tell what it was from the two bodies entangled with each other on its cover.
With a sudden wave of nausea, I rushed to the bathroom to vomit into the toilet.
