The second half of Stephan’s words was stuck in his throat and he looked at me in disbelief. He turned around and saw the condom on the bed, his face suddenly changed,
"Natasha, this is what we did last time...”
"I know, it was you who used it."
I pretended not to care and threw the condom into the trash can. Stephan stood there, not daring to move. He squatted down, held my hand and said a lot of words to show his loyalty. But I couldn't listen to it at all.
The next day, we went to register for divorce. Until now, Stephan still held my hand and promised to remarry. I looked at the man acting in front of me and my heart was dead.
Stephan, you didn’t have to act like this. Everything was over.
On the day of departure, I simply packed my things, signed the re-drafted divorce agreement and put it on the bedside table. I also put aside another piece of evidence about Stephan's transfer of assets.
When I went downstairs, I saw Lilian nestled in Stephan's arms, smiling harmlessly.
"Aunt, you're awake! Look, this is the new dress my uncle bought for me."
I nodded with a fake smile and took a bite of the bread on the table. "Your uncle is so good to you. I have something else to do at the station, I'll go first."
Before I walked out, Lilian stopped me, "Aunt, take a day off today, we'll take you somewhere in the morning!"
I was just thinking of refusing when Lilian pushed me into the car.
In the car, she and Stephan were chatting enthusiastically. And I had nothing to connect with. Stephan and I were not from the same class, we met because of a case. His pursuit of me was still a mystery to this day. Now I knew that it was a trap set for me.
When I arrived at the scene, I realized that today was a piano concert held by Stephan for Lilian. Lilian, wearing a dress, hugged and kissed them enthusiastically and she was very graceful throughout the whole process.
Stephan stood behind her, a perfect match made in heaven. I was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and police pants, blending in with the crowd. I kept backing away because of discomfort and awkwardness.
Until someone in the crowd glanced at me, "Lilian, is this the piano-cleaning servant you brought? She looks a little stupid."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at me and laughed.
And Stephan was in the crowd, looking at me, "Natasha, go and check Lilian's piano."
