He Said He Was Caring for the Neighbor’s Baby at Night, Until I Learned the TruthChapter 1

My husband, Martin Wells, had always hated children. Yet, he suddenly fell in love with our neighbor’s baby. Every night, he stayed up late taking care of the child. He ignored me completely, even when I had a car accident and needed surgery.

Eventually, I couldn’t take it anymore, so I filed for divorce at the party that was meant to celebrate my discharge from the hospital. Immediately, all of my friends and family responded that the car accident had damaged my brain.

In response, Martin threw wine onto my face and shouted angrily, “I couldn’t take care of you because you got yourself into an accident and got yourself hospitalized! Are you seriously jealous of a six-month-old baby?”

I slowly wiped the wine that dirtied my gown as I glared at the mysterious red marks on his neck, saying coldly, “Since you love her child so much, I’ll let you stay with them forever after we divorce.”

Martin’s face showed confusion and emotion at the same time. Without further ado, he pulled up his collar to hide his neck.
