After I Learned I Was Going to Be His Ex-Wife Chapter 05
Ethan went back to the office in the afternoon for some reason.
I was going to ask if he’d be home for dinner. But the comments said he’d already left on a business trip with the female lead.
So I deleted the message.
I scrolled up and realized every message was from me.
[Babe, please come home. I’m scared of the dark…]
[I want steak tonight. Cook for me!]
[Guess which costume I’m wearing today?]
Ethan would reply with just one or two words.
Looking back, he’d probably been annoyed for a long time.
Sure enough, after a while, Ethan texted me.
[Out of town for a few days. I’ll bring you a gift.]
I replied with a thank you sticker.
While he was gone, I went through all the bags and jewelry he’d bought me.
There was quite a lot piled up. I could probably sell them for a good amount.
That made me feel a little better.
After marrying Ethan, I’d gone back to living a rich lifestyle. I’ve never been particularly driven, so I
quit my job almost immediately.
But my family’s bankruptcy had taught me to be careful. I didn’t have to hold a job, but I did need savings.
So I spent those years learning to invest in index funds and stocks. I’d made a good amount of
money.
Even if he left me with nothing, it would still be enough to live on for a long time.
The day Ethan’s trip ended, the comments went wild.
[Finally, the big moment when the leads fall in love!]
[The female lead sprains her ankle, and the male lead brings her home. The ex-wife throws a tantrum and burns through whatever goodwill he had left.]
[She’ll be gone soon. Can’t wait!]
A jolt of panic shot through me, and I hurried to move my things out.
Thankfully, I’d rented a place ahead of time. It wasn’t too much trouble.
Given how cooperative I was being, Ethan couldn’t be too cruel, could he?
That night, my phone buzzed with a message from Ethan.
[Where are you?]
Just three words, but they carried a strange weight.
I thought it over and replied.
[I’m traveling. I’ll be back in a couple of days. I need to talk to you about something.]
Ethan didn’t answer.
I sighed. Initiating the divorce was better than being kicked out.
I tossed my phone aside, put on my eye mask, and tried to sleep.
A few seconds later, the screen lit up again.
A notification popped up on my phone.
[I think my wife is cheating on me. She’s even giving my clothes to him. How do I convince her to come back?]
