I would become hysterical while he watched with cold detachment before finally snapping in frustration.
"Selene and I have been childhood sweethearts," he said, exasperated. "I’ve cared for her since she was young and treated her like a younger sister. Thalia, are you jealous? Are you throwing a tantrum?"
I stared silently at the couple’s watches on their wrists, feeling the weight of his words.
With just a few words, he saw me as a confident wife and into a jealous woman.
He didn’t even realize that his actions seemed like cheating to others.
At home, I stared at the things I’d bought to celebrate my pregnancy. The sight made me feel sick, so I threw them all in the trash.
After experiencing a miscarriage, my body had grown frail. Even the slightest movement left my legs shaky, forcing me to sink slowly onto the sofa before I could gather the strength to stand.
A key turning in the lock echoed from outside in the next few minutes.
And in one blink, Caelan walked in with Selene by his side.
Surprise flickered in his eyes the moment he saw me and he quickly let go of her hand.
"Didn't you say you’d be hospitalized for a while? Why are you back so soon?"
Caelan still recalled when I’d gone to the hospital a few days ago for a check-up, but he had no idea it was because I had miscarried.
A wave of heartache hit me, tightening my chest and making my body ache. I took a sip of water, keeping my expression composed.
Caelan assumed I was about to start another argument and quickly shielded Selene behind him, speaking in a rush.
"Thalia, don’t misunderstand. Selene hasn’t been feeling well. The doctor suggested an observation, so I brought her back,” Caelan explained.
He added, "You know it’s been less than six months since her last heart bypass and she’s already had two. If no one is with her, she could leave this world!”
I set the cup on the table and pulled out the divorce agreement I had prepared earlier.
Sighing, I declared, "Caelan, your affairs no longer concern me. This is the divorce agreement; please sign it.”
Caelan's expression darkened as he stared at the divorce agreement.
"Thalia, what are you doing?" Caelan asked, still clouded with confusion.
Meanwhile, Selene, standing off to the side, let a smile play on her lips.
