Anna pushed the stunned Jonah, bit her lower lip, glanced at me, and closed the door firmly.
At that time, my nose was only an inch away from the door, and I was almost hit.
I stayed in the coffee shop alone until Anna called me to go back in the evening.
"You haven't eaten, have you? I've prepared food for you."
It was a rich dinner, but I had no appetite and only ate a little.
Only then did Anna explain to me, "Well... The reason why I said that during the day was because I..."
"Alright, there's no need to explain. I know it. Because of your career, you have to do this," I interrupted her.
"Yes. That's right. Because of my career."
"That man is your ex-boyfriend and current leader, right?"
"Yes," Anna answered guiltily.
"Are you jealous? I'm just his subordinate now. Please don't misunderstand."
"Okay," I replied and sneered inwardly.
If it weren't for the scene in the parking lot, I would have believed her.
Back in the bedroom, I realized that our wedding photos had been put away and every trace of me in the house had been erased.
I even found that the bed sheet was messy. For some reason, I opened the drawer and counted the condoms, and found one was missing.
The little feeling I had left for Anna vanished at this moment.
We have been married for five years, and I have never even spoken loudly to Anna for fear of scaring her.
For so many years, I cut off contact with my parents just for her.
When she was in a bad mood, I would be sad and try my best to make her happy.
When she competed for the position of general manager, I begged those clients to help her get the order.
Every time we quarreled, I would always compromise first.
I had wanted to have a child, but she expressed her fear of the pain involved in childbirth, so I abandoned the idea. Additionally, as the only son in my family for three generations, my parents wanted me to have kids, despite their disapproval of her.
After we got married, I quit my job and started doing housework at home for her.
While she was showering, I was on the balcony and smoked. Only nicotine could numb my nerves and stop me from thinking about those things.
The word "delivery man" broke my strong heart. I felt humble and ridiculous.
Anna was different tonight. When she came out of the bathroom, she was wearing a sexy purple nightgown and was putting on short stockings on the bed in front of me.
