"He just had surgery recently and still showed up to the party for me. Meanwhile, you're here acting small and petty. Are you even a man?"

Clutching the marriage certificate tightly in my hand, I threw it in Agnes' face with a cold expression. "Did he really go to that party for work, or did you two celebrate your tenth anniversary together?"

Her pupils shrank immediately, and her voice became slightly unnatural. "Who gave you the right to touch my stuff!?"

I snorted. "Shouldn't you explain what this is first?"

Agnes' eyes grew icy. "What kind of attitude is that? I'm not a criminal! Don't use your dirty lawyer tricks on me!"

Knowing Agnes as well as I did, I recognized this attempt to change the subject as proof of her guilt.

My expression remained unchanged, but my heart grew colder.

Silence filled the air for a long time.

Finally, Agnes spoke, reluctantly, "It's a fake marriage certificate I made just to calm him down. You knew how unstable Milan was when he first returned. He loved me so much he even threatened to commit suicide multiple times. I didn't want anyone to die."

I might have believed her if her eyes hadn't been darting around nervously.

Unfortunately for her, lying wasn't one of her strong suits.

She tried to wrap her arms around me to soften the blow, but I stepped back, avoiding her touch.

I shot her a cold, sarcastic look. "Do you really think I'm an idiot?"

Agnes looked at me pitifully, "You don't believe me?"

Milan, still pretending to be drunk, suddenly swung his fist at me. "Don't you dare be mean to my wife!"

I had no patience for his act. I kicked him aside, sending him flying. Agnes immediately rushed to his side, concern written all over her face, before turning to shout at me.

"Are you crazy!?"

Milan, a grown man, threw himself into Agnes' arms and started crying.

"Am I going to lose you again? It was my fault for leaving without a word twelve years ago, but I've never stopped loving you. When I heard you got married, I rushed back. I can't lose you. Please don't leave me."

His nonsensical rambling left Agnes flustered, and she could only keep patting his back to calm him down.

I watched the scene in front of me, my eyes filled with nothing but sarcasm.

This is the wife I've been married to for ten years, the woman I've loved for over a decade.
