A Firm Decision:No More Second Chances

Then, I saw the tweet that Camilla posted. Charles took her to the most upscale restaurant in the city and even ordered a bottle of red wine worth over ten thousand.

Charles' so-called waste of money was only aimed at me.

I should have felt disappointed and heartbroken, but I didn't.

After lying in the hospital for three days, all I wanted was to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and sleep well.

Charles didn't return until one in the morning.

He deliberately made a lot of noise, but I ignored him.

Finally, he slammed the door and went to the study.

This was a precursor to his silent treatment.

In the past, after every argument, no matter who was right or wrong, I was always the one to back down first.

I believed that couples shouldn't hold grudges, and love shouldn't be worn down.

It took me four years in college to successfully win over Charles, and I cherished our marriage.

At first, he was very gentle with me, holding me in his palm and showering me with love.

After a year of marriage, I was diagnosed with endometriosis, making it difficult to conceive.

I spent my days in tears, but Charles comforted me, saying, "Don't worry. Medical science is advanced now. Besides, I want to enjoy a few more years in our world together.

"Even if we can't have children, I will love you for the rest of my life."

At that time, I was so moved that I hugged him tightly, believing that all my years of effort were worth it.

But everything changed a year ago when his former lover Camilla came to Oceanos to seek him out.

Charles' tenderness, attentiveness, thoughtfulness, and indulgence were all directed at another woman.

He left me, who was celebrating my birthday, just to help Camilla change a light bulb in her bathroom.

He forgot our wedding anniversary but took Camilla to Disneyland.

During a movie, he abandoned me without hesitation when Camilla texted him, saying she was bored.

When I expressed my dissatisfaction to him, he said, "It's not easy for Camilla to live alone. Don't be so calculating."

As he wished, I would no longer let him see my sadness.
