After the Cheating Husband Asked to Remarry
Chapter 2
Kayden took my hand while sleeping.
I turned over and pulled my hand away from his palm without him noticing.
After a long time, his phone suddenly rang in the darkness.
In just half a second, he hung up.
"Leah."
I closed my eyes and didn't answer.
He gently nudged me. "There's something urgent at the office. I gotta go and will be back soon."
"Okay," I said groggily. "Be careful."
He bent down and kissed me. Then, he put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.
After a while, the sound of the door closing came from outside.
I slipped my clothes on and went downstairs to hail a taxi.
The driver asked me where I was going.
"The dormitory on the south side of Oakdale University."
This was the delivery address on Kayden's shopping app.
Sitting in the car, I opened the short video app and entered the girl's nickname "Love Kayden".
Some time ago, Kayden changed his nickname to "Love You Too".
He said he showed his love for me by doing this.
It was another lie.
The girl loved to share her life. She went shopping, traveled, had dinner, and played games. She posted almost every day.
I clicked on the game settlement page.
Her ID Carrie reminded me of something. I once asked Kayden to play games with me and there was a player called Carrie in our team.
She played a supporting role, but I was always beaten to death. When I checked the data, I didn't get any support, nor did she use splash damage.
I was confused and typed, "Why didn't you help me?"
After a minute, she replied, "Sorry, I just bought the account. I'm not good at this."
I asked Kayden what was going on, but he said that she was just a newcomer and didn't know how to play. He wouldn't let her join us next time.
It turned out that I was a witness to their flirtation.
The driver drove very fast. When I arrived, Kayden had not arrived yet.
Dark clouds gathered in the sky. After a few rolls of thunder, big raindrops poured down.
I fled to a 24-hour bank branch by the road.
My phone rang. It was Kayden.
"Leah, you woke up?"
"How did you know?" I asked.
"I knew you must have been awakened by the thunder." His tone was soft. "Before I went out, I checked the weather and pulled out the power switch except for the refrigerator. Don't be afraid and go to sleep."
When I was a child, my house was on fire because of thunder. Since then, I had been traumatized by thunder and rain.
Every time it thundered, Kayden would stay by my side.
There was even a time when he left halfway through a business dinner and went home to see me.
I wondered if I was being paranoid. Maybe he really went to the company.
Until a familiar SUV with hazard lights on appeared in my sight.
A petite figure ran out of the school gate in the rain.
Her knee-length skirt fluttered in the air.
She came to Kayden's car and stopped by the window of the passenger seat for a second. Then she opened the rear door and sat in the back seat.
After a while, Kayden got out of the car, opened the rear door, and got in.
Listening to the rain, I looked at the pitch-black car quietly.
After a long time, his car left.
The girl had been in the car and never showed up again.
Kayden returned home early in the morning.
He brought me a bunch of red roses and lobster bisque.
"A Valentine's Day gift."
"You didn't sleep last night?" I asked.
"I reworked a lot of things and didn't have time to sleep." He rubbed his eyes. "I'll pack up and go to the train station. Have lobster bisque and take a rest. You have dark circles under your eyes."
He took a taxi and left.
I went downstairs to retrieve the dictaphone and threw the roses into the trash can.
The cleaner picked up the flowers and shouted behind me, "Are you sure you don't want such good flowers?"
I turned around and smiled. "No, I don't want them."
