Love Is Out of Balance

In the shopping mall, I was hit by a crystal chandelier that fell accidentally and was covered in blood.

I saw my husband and his first love just passing by. And she just glanced at me.

My husband pulled her over and said, "Don't mind. She won't die that easily!"

I returned home with injuries all over my body, only to see a sexy lace underwear in the bedroom.

I threw the lace underwear in the trash and called him.

I said, "Xavier, let's get a divorce!"

——

"Grace, you are crazy! Just because I didn't take you to the hospital in person, you want to divorce me?"

Xavier Walsh's angry voice came from the microphone.

"Yes, since you and Nicole are so in love, I will help you two."

Before hanging up the phone, I heard Nicole Phillips' coquettish voice.

She said, "Who is it, Xavier? It's so late. Take a shower."

Then, the call was hung up.

The phone slipped from my hand. I cried.

This weekend, I originally wanted Xavier to accompany me to buy some clothes.

But he said he had to work overtime today and asked me to go shopping by myself.

But it just so happened that just as I was walking around, I was hit by a crystal chandelier that fell from the top floor.

I ran into him passing by with his first love, Nicole. Nicole noticed me first.

She looked at me in shock, but was too scared to come forward. Then, she wanted to call for help.

But Xavier pulled her away. Not only did he not help me, he also spoke so harshly to me.

At that moment, I was disappointed.

Later I passed out. It was the mall security who sent me to the hospital.

The doctor said that although it was only a skin injury, I had lost a lot of blood and would have been in danger if I had come a little later.

I had dozens of stitches on my back, but I returned home with a rage, determined to file for divorce from Xavier as soon as possible.

I didn't expect that he was still at Nicole's place so late, and he had no plans to come back tonight!

I fell asleep in a daze, suffering from physical and mental pain.

When I woke up, it was already the next morning. Xavier came back for some reason.

He stood in front of the bed, just looking at me quietly, with no expression.

I glanced at him and spoke coldly.

"Aren't you spending time with your first love? What are you doing back here?"

Xavier swallowed and murmured.

"Yesterday... It just happened that Nicole was in a bad mood, so she asked me to walk with her. Before we knew it, we ended up at the shopping mall. Believe me. I didn't leave you on purpose to go shopping with her!"

I said, "You didn't have enough shopping in the afternoon, so you even went to bed with her at night?"

Xavier's face turned cold, and he frowned.

He said, "Grace, can you please stop being so unreasonable? Nicole twisted her ankle while shopping at the mall last night, so I sent her home. By the time I bought her some medicine and applied it, it was already very late. I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for her to be alone at night, so I stayed to take care of her!"

Looking at Xavier's righteous look, I sneered in my heart.

Nicole sprained her foot, so he stayed and took care of her all night.

I was hit by such a huge crystal chandelier and had dozens of stitches on my back, but until now, he hadn't asked me about that!

Whenever I needed him, he would find all kinds of excuses to shirk his responsibilities.

And as long as Nicole gave him a phone call or a message, he would be there with her.

I didn't know what the point of having him as my husband was after three years of marriage!

Perhaps sensing my anger, Xavier calmed down, took out a jewelry box from his pocket and placed it on the bedside table.

"Here. See if you like it."

Looking at the familiar jewelry box, I suddenly remembered something. I opened it casually and was stunned.

This was the pearl necklace he bought for Nicole when they were shopping together today.

Last night, I saw her showing off this necklace on her Ins.

[He always tries his best to please me, even if I don't like it. He is just an unhandy man who only loves me.]

The accompanying picture was this identical necklace. It turned out that it was something she didn't want anymore, so he gave it to me.

I sneered and picked up the lace underwear that I threw into the trash can last night.

I wrapped up the necklace and handed it to Xavier.

I said, "Please return these two things to her. I don't like things that have been used by others."

Xavier froze instantly. He gritted his teeth, picked up the two things and rushed out of the house.

I struggled to get up, washed up, and went to the company.

My leader, Owen Brown, was shocked to see that I had a bandage on my head and bruises on my face.

"Grace, what happened? Are you okay?"

I forced myself to smile.

"I'm fine. It's just a minor skin injury. It will be fine after a few days of swelling. Mr. Brown, I'm here to talk to you about setting up a branch abroad, which you mentioned last time."

Owen's eyes lit up.

He said, "So you've thought about it and are willing to go overseas?"

I said, "Well, I've thought about it and decided to take on this responsibility."

Owen seemed to remember something and asked.

"I remember when I mentioned this a while ago, you said your husband disagreed. Did you convince him?"

I was slightly stunned and just nodded, ignoring the question.

It didn't matter whether Xavier agreed or not.

In the afternoon, I went to the hospital. When I was about to leave, Xavier called me.

"Where are you?"

I said, "I'm changing the dressing at the hospital. What do you want?"

Xavier didn't respond. I was about to hang up when he spoke.

"Wait a moment. I'll come pick you up."

Before I could refuse, Xavier hung up the phone. And I walked slowly to the hospital entrance.

I originally planned to take a taxi and go home, but I didn't expect Xavier to arrive so quickly.

He stopped the car neatly in front of me.

"Get in the car."

I walked around to the passenger seat, but saw Nicole sitting in my seat.

My heart suddenly tightened, and I looked at Nicole coldly.

Nicole immediately put on the aggrieved look and looked at me while biting her lip.

"Grace, don't be angry. I'm carsick, so I sat in the passenger seat. I'll move to the back..."

Xavier said, "Nicole, you sit in the front. Grace, you sit in the back. There's nothing to worry about!"

I sneered and sat in the back.

I seldom ride in Xavier's car, and he even forgot that I also get carsick.

The road conditions in our town were not very good. It was bumpy all the way, and I was trying hard not to vomit.

What was strange was that even though Nicole's house was closer to mine, Xavier drove the car directly to the downstairs of my house.

Just when I realized something, Xavier looked at me coldly and spoke.

"Grace, go back. Her foot needs to be patched up. I have to take care of her."

I finally understood what was going on. It turned out that he wanted to go home with Nicole.

Suddenly, I had a strong feeling of nausea.

I couldn't help but open my mouth. All the contents of my stomach that I had been holding back all the way burst out.

A strong sour liquid splashed all over Xavier and Nicole's body and face.

Ignoring Nicole's screams and Xavier's roars, I opened the car door and got out.

Damn those scumbag and bitch. This was my gift.

It was not until I went upstairs that I realized that I had forgotten to give the divorce agreement I had prepared today to Xavier.

I put the divorce agreement I had already signed on the table and started packing my things.

Although, this house carried the three-year marriage between Xavier and I.

But it had been polluted by Nicole. And I didn't want to stay here anymore.

What was more, I had already promised Owen to go abroad to establish a new company.

This was a good opportunity to completely cut off ties with Xavier.

After working for most of the night, I finally packed up all my things.

In fact, most of the things had been thrown away. Since I had decided to give up, I didn't want to leave any trace of myself in this house.

I took a last look at the huge wedding photo hanging on the wall and took it down with trembling hands.

I reached out and gently stroked the two energetic and smiling faces in the photo.

It had only been three years. I didn't expect that our marriage would come to an end do soon.

I felt sad, so I gritted my teeth, stuffed it into the trash bag, and threw it into the garbage station downstairs.

I didn't sleep well that night. I dreamed a lot about our past.

From the initial beauty, to the subsequent dullness, and finally to despair and loss.

It was almost dawn, and I fell into a sleepy state. When I opened my eyes again, it was already morning.

I opened my phone and saw a piece of local news saying that an international business conference was being held at the city exhibition center this morning.

The news also listed a long list of key personnel attending the conference.

Among them were the names of Xavier and Nicole. And what surprised me even more was the relationship label between the two.

[Xavier: President of the Walsh Group. Nicole: His wife.]

Seeing this, I sneered. Nicole was Xavier's wife? What about me?

I was planning to divorce Xavier, but I was still Mrs. Walsh now!

I immediately dressed up and took a taxi straight to the exhibition center.

The security guard at the entrance of the venue reached out to stop me.

"Which company do you represent, Miss? Do you have an invitation?"

I was stunned.

"I don't have an invitation. I am here with my husband, Xavier, the president of the Walsh Group."

The security guard frowned and looked at the sign-in sheet.

"Miss, you must be mistaken. Mr. Walsh's wife is Nicole. And she has already signed in."

I gritted my teeth, knowing that the security guard couldn't be blamed for this, and simply took out the marriage agreement from my bag.

Fortunately, I was planning to divorce Xavier these days, so I kept the marriage agreement with me.

When the security guard saw it, he suddenly became nervous, but finally let me in.

At this time, on the stage, the emcee was solemnly introducing the participating guests from various well-known companies.

"Dear distinguished guests and CEOs, please allow me to introduce Mr. Walsh of the Walsh Group and his wife, Nicole. Mr. Walsh is..."

Hearing this, I immediately went onto the stage and shouted at the emcee.

"Wait!"

My loud shout startled the host and everyone present.

The emcee looked at me in confusion, but I looked at Xavier and Nicole with mocking eyes.

"Oh, this is really strange. Mr. Walsh, my dear husband. I didn't know when Nicole replaced me as your wife. Then tell everyone, who am I?"

Xavier's face suddenly turned pale, and Nicole beside him also became nervous.

The audience immediately started to discuss.

"What's going on? What went wrong? Why are there two Mrs. Walshs?"

"I was wondering. I remember Xavier's wife wasn't Nicole, but Grace. I thought Mr. Walsh had divorced Grace and married a new wife!"

"Yeah, I remember Nicole. Isn't she Xavier's secretary? Did Xavier have an affair?"

Listening to the discussions in the audience, the emcee looked at Xavier in bewilderment.

Xavier's face was gloomy. He glared at me fiercely and spoke to me in a cold voice.

"Grace, what do you want to do?"

I said, "I want to ask you that. Since you are so anxious to marry Nicole, why are you refusing to divorce me?"

Xavier gritted his teeth.

"This may be a misunderstanding. I don't have time to explain it to you now. Please leave. I will explain it to you when we get home in the evening!"

Nicole standing by also looked at me aggrievedly.

"I'm sorry, Grace. I don't know what happened. I didn't hear the host introduce it until I got on stage. There must be some misunderstanding here. But everyone is watching now. For Mr. Walsh, could you please step down first?"

The three of us were holding on on the stage when suddenly a cynical voice sounded.

"Mr. Walsh is awesome. You have a wife and a lover. You are so happy."

As he spoke, a young and handsome man jumped onto the stage. And there was another sigh from the audience.

"Wow, isn't this Caleb, the son of the richest man, Heather Hall? He is famous. I didn't expect him to be here too!"

"It seems that Caleb is going to stand up for Ms. Lewis. This is going to be a good show!"

"It is said that Caleb has very high standards. He is 25 years old but doesn't even like women. Could he really be interested in Ms. Lewis?"

I had only seen this legendary richest man in the news, but I didn't expect that he was even more handsome in person than in the news.

Xavier's face turned cold at what Caleb said, but he didn't dare to offend Caleb and just smiled.

"Mr. Hall, this is a misunderstanding. I will explain it to my wife later."

"Look at Mr. Walsh's blushing face. Only a misunderstanding? It's a pity for Ms. Lewis to suffer such a great humiliation for no reason. Hey, Ms. Lewis, your useless husband is going to replace you. Do you mind changing your husband? For example, me?"

Caleb's words not only shocked me, but also shocked everyone present.
