Behind My Husband's Broken Promise

As expected, Richard came to pick me up on time that day.

He even arrived half an hour early and waited downstairs at the company.

"Ruby, I'm here. You can see me as soon as you go out."

I didn't reply.

After getting off work, I worked overtime for half an hour and my cell phone rang several times.

I finished all the work before I limped downstairs.

Richard saw me from afar and got out of the car to help me open the passenger door.

"Ruby, are you hungry?"

"Do you want to go to that hotpot restaurant? I just learned the recipe for the sauce and I'll make it for you to try."

On the way, I was looking at my phone without saying a word, but Richard was particularly talkative today.

"Just do as you please."

I replied perfunctorily.

While waiting for the traffic light, I turned my head and looked at the snowman out the car window that others had made.

I remember that year in college, Richard made a big snowman to please me with his hands frozen red.

I blamed him for being stupid and not wearing gloves.

Richard smiled foolishly, "When I think of my Ruby, I don't feel cold at all."

But it snowed last year, and I wanted Richard to wear gloves and help me build a small snowman.

But he rejected it with a cold face.

"Ruby, I'm very busy right now. If you like, go and make it yourself! You are not a child anymore, why are you still so childish!"

After finished speaking, he lowered his head and busy himself with work matters.

His fingers were typing away on the keyboard quickly, but when I glanced over, I saw a cute emoticon sent by the girl opposite me.

Since then, I have never made any requests to Richard again.

Seems notice my cold reaction.

Richard was a little flustered. He asked me tentatively,

"Ruby, are you angry?"

I looked away and raised my head blankly, "No."

The green light was on, but Richard was in no hurry to leave. His eyes were on the snowman I was looking at just now.

He smiled. "Do you want a snowman, too? I'll make one for you when we get home."

I smiled faintly.

"You are so childish. There is no need to tire you out."

Richard was silent.

Because he remembered that last year when I was looking forward to him helping me build a snowman, he said that I was childish.

The car did not drive to the hot pot restaurant.

Richard softened his attitude and said that he was wrong yesterday and that he would go home and cook for me to make up to me.

He bought a lot of vegetables and carried them into the kitchen.

"Ruby, wait for me for an hour, and I will definitely give you a delicious meal!"

I responded calmly, took out my laptop and continued studying the financial knowledge I had been reading recently.

Suddenly, Richard's cell phone on the table rang.

I glanced at Richard who was busy in the kitchen, worried that something urgent might happen in his company.

I clicked it and took a look.

It is a very cute avatar, and the remark is Jessica.

I had a bad feeling.

Really.

"Richard. Today you're so strong that you hurt me..."

Although I tried hard not to care, when I saw these words, my heart still felt deeply hurt.

I took a deep breath and called towards the kitchen.

"Jessica is looking for you."

Richard immediately turned off the fire and came out.

"How can this intern be so ignorant? She's already off work, but she still disturbs me while I'm cooking for my wife..."

He was muttering something, perhaps just pretending to do it for me.

He quickly took the phone.

When Richard saw the line of words sent by Jessica, his body suddenly froze.

His body tensed up and he subconsciously looked up at me, trying to explain.

"Honey, she said her shoulder felt uncomfortable during the day, so I pressed it for her. Don't get me wrong!"

My eyes were always fixed on the computer screen.

I'm a little annoyed by his explanation.

"I didn't misunderstand you, why are you so nervous?"

I looked up at him and smiled.

"Didn't you say that? Husbands and wives should have trust. I believe you won't betray me, right?"
