I thought my life would continue like this, but I didn't expect Nina to ask for a divorce.
"Okay, I've finished talking. I'll be waiting for you at the courthouse tomorrow morning. Don't be late."
Nina said as she stood up and got ready to leave. After two years of living together, she only took a small suitcase with her.
I immediately stood up and grabbed Nina's wrist.
I couldn’t bear her leaving me after six years of love.
"Nina! I can’t believe it! Why did you divorce me?"
She struggled to free herself from my grip, and in the process, a hotel room card fell out of Nina's coat pocket.
Instinctively, I bent down to pick it up, but froze when I saw the name of the hotel on the card.
It was the most expensive five-star hotel in our city and we couldn't afford it.
I suddenly came up with a ridiculous but undeniable thought.
My body even shook with anger and pain.
Nina picked up the card before me.
"Who gave it to you?"
My voice echoed in the silent living room, trembling with nervousness.
Nina paused for a moment, then a mocking smile appeared on her face.
“What does that have to do with you, Jacob? If you can't give me what I want, there are plenty of people who can.”
“Don't blame me for being heartless. Look at yourself. You've been working for two years and had no progress. You are so useless.”
“When we were at college, I thought you could achieve something with your good grades and eloquence. But you're a failure in the workplace.”
“I'm unlucky to have wasted six years of my youth with you.”
After Nina finished speaking, she directly let go of my hand. As if she had touched some bacteria, she wiped her sleeves. With a snort, she opened the door and left.
I lowered my head and took out the lottery ticket that had not been redeemed from my pocket.
Originally, I wanted to surprise her on our anniversary.
I didn’t have the habit of buying lottery tickets. I was urged to buy this ticket at the end of a party with my colleagues some time ago.
But I didn't expect to win the first prize.
I thought I could give Nina a good life, but I didn't expect that she had already planned to leave me.
I sat on the sofa all night, smoking one cigarette after another, but still couldn't figure out who Nina's affair was with.
She didn't go out to work, and I never saw Nina contacting her friends.
The only men she would come into contact with might be my colleagues in the company.
