But I knew I shouldn't do that. I gently pressed my palm down, trying to calm myself down. Acting impulsively would only hurt me in the end. They deserved to be punished, but I had to be smart about it. I bent down, picking up the scattered vegetables and fruit. The tomatoes had burst, leaving a messy splatter. I wiped up the mess with tissues from my pocket as if cleaning up the shattered pieces of my marriage and tossed everything into the trash.
I turned around and left, gently closing the door behind me for the two of them. Then I took out my phone and dialed the number of my family lawyer.
"Hello, Mr. William? I need to file for divorce immediately."
I calculated the time and walked back into the house ten minutes later.
The woman was already gone and Ethan, fully dressed, greeted me with a smile like nothing had happened, "Hello, my dear, you're back."
I remained calm and said, "You must be hungry. Let’s eat."
Ethan was distracted at the dining table, constantly glancing at his phone. I picked up some food and placed it on his plate.
“Something going on at the office?”
Without missing a beat, he nodded. “Yeah, it’s been busy lately.”
He wasn't even embarrassed to lie!
