On Our Fifth Wedding Anniversary, I Caught My Husband Lying1 Don't Look into the Past - Part One
1
On our fifth wedding anniversary, Maurice postponed all his schedules just to accompany me to see the golden glow over the mountain at sunrise.
He always indulged me.
It was gloomy before we went up the mountain that day.
The chance of seeing the sunrise was much lower than usual.
Maurice insisted on going up the mountain and said we would probably encounter surprises.
He stood by me and strengthened my thoughts all the time.
Before going up, his phone kept ringing, and I saw him reject the call several times.
Halfway up the mountain, his phone rang again.
"Just answer it. It won't take up any time."
There was still some distance to go before reaching the summit. We still had several hours left before the sun rose.
I was worried that the call was for an emergency at work.
But from the moment he answered the call to the point he hung up, my intuition told me that the call must be a private one.
Maurice had always been gentle and patient. Even if his subordinates made blunders, I had never seen him frowning with impatience like this because of a phone call.
The caller kept talking, but after Maurice listened quietly, he only replied coldly, "Don't call me again."
After hanging up, he met my puzzled look and explained that the caller had dialed the wrong number.
Despite this, I was still suspicious.
He took my hand again and continued climbing up with me.
We reached the summit as scheduled.
We just needed to wait for the rising sun to shine on the mountain when dawn came.
During this time, he kept fiddling with the mobile phone in his pocket.
From his subtle movements, I could tell that it might not be a wrong number. Instead, it was very likely that the caller had caused his emotions to change.
I had been married to him for five years, and although we had only known each other for a short time before our wedding, there had never been any gossip about him that caused a rift between us.

He kept knitting his brows tightly. It didn't seem like anything serious, but it did make doubt and fear rise in my heart.
The phone rang again.
Three hours had passed since the last it rang.
He took out his phone and stared at its screen for a few seconds before he looked up at me.
My good eyesight allowed me to see it was still that unfamiliar number on his phone screen.
