In my previous life, Clarice's family and my family were close.
Since I hated studying, I dropped out early to start streaming.
Clarice's family had almost lost everything after her father's investment failures.
At that time, my parents stepped in and helped them recover some of their losses.
However, Clarice's father couldn't bear the blow and ended up taking his own life.
Misfortunes followed one after another. Shortly after her father's death, Clarice's mother passed away due to cancer.
On her deathbed, Clarice's mother wished for a stable future for her, leaving behind a will for her to marry me.
Clarice had always been the most attractive girl. She was sweet, beautiful, and gentle.
We had grown up together, and I really liked her. I was ecstatic when I heard the news.
But after her father's death, Clarice changed. She became withdrawn and seemed like a different person.
She married me according to her mother's will, but she treated me like a stranger from then on.
She never accepted my kindness.
Not only did she never shown any interest in me, but she also often pretended not to hear when I spoke to her.
I thought Clarice was just grieving for her parents.
Worried about her mental state, I gave up on my dream of becoming a professional player.
I chose to become a streamer, which allowed me more free time, just so I could be by her side.
I took care of her every need, even preparing three meals a day and delivering them to her company.
Over time, even my viewers knew I was hopelessly devoted to my wife.
They often left comments in the chat, expressing envy that Clarice had such a good husband like me.
Some would say I was giving too much and would end up with nothing, but I never paid attention to those words.
One day, when I went to her company to deliver lunch for her, I saw her sitting in another man's sports car in the underground parking lot.
That afternoon, I stood in the parking lot for two hours, watching them.
Clarice wore a smile I had never seen before, radiant and joyful.
I tried to comfort myself, thinking, "Maybe they're just friends. It's probably nothing."
However, their conversation as they left made my heart ache.
When she got out of the car, Clarice disdainfully said to the man, "Acton's just a small-time streamer. What future does he have playing games all day? You pros have a real future."
