Chapter 1

  On Valentine's Day, my husband failed to accompany me on the excuse of work, but I saw the video of him watching fireworks with a beautiful female subordinate on TikTok.

  I smiled, but I wasn't really angry.

  He could accompany another woman to watch gorgeous fireworks in Disneyland on Valentine's Day. Naturally, there was also someone, who was willing to accompany me to admire the moon and talk all night.

  It was even.

  I opened WhatsApp and sent Hardy a text, [Hey handsome, wanna go out?]

  He replied almost instantly, [Any time for you.]

  I found that my husband had cheated on me with a female employee a month ago. When I was having dinner with a few friends, I heard someone outside the box calling his name.

  "Bryce, you have never forgot me all these years, have you?"

  The woman's voice was pleasant and soft.

  I thought it might be someone, who happened to share the same name with my husband.

  Then I heard Bryce's voice. It sounded low and full of regret, "Eva, I'm married."

  "But you don't love her. Otherwise, you wouldn't have used that nickname all the time."

  It was July.

  He used the nickname for all his social accounts. I used to ask him out of curiosity, and he explained to me that he loved passionate and romantic July.

  Only at this moment did I understand.

  It had something to do with Eva.

  He didn't love July, but his beloved Eva born in July.

  I ran to the bathroom and called Bryce. It took a long time for him to pick it up.

  "Honey, where are you?"

  At first, it was noisy on the other end of the line, but soon it became quiet. Through the restroom door, I heard his voice and some noise from the other end of the call. "I'm still in the company. What's wrong?"

  "I made you late night snack. I'll send it to you." I tried to keep my cool, but my palms were sweating because I was lying.

  "No need. I'll order takeout later. You know, there's a big project recently. I'm quite busy."

  My heart sank to the bottom.

  Come to think of it, there were actually traces to be found.

  In the past, Bryce never forbade me from going to the company. Some time ago, he had a weak stomach, so I had to prepare lunch and sent it to him in person.

  Gradually, he refused me to send him lunch, which I had done for nearly a month.

  Some time later, he even didn't come home at a regular time. Every time I called him, he was either in a meeting or working overtime.

  Then, he changed the password of his mobile phone. Like what was told on the internet, when answering his phone calls, he had to go to the balcony alone, or stated at his mobile phone unconsciously with a silly smile.

  For some reason, he started to be nostalgic, and when I was talking to him, he was suddenly distracted sometimes.

  This series of abnormalities made Bryce, who had never been romantic, even when we were in relationship, suddenly enlightened.

  Every now and then, he would bring me a bouquet of flowers, or a small gift.

  We were in a love relationship for three years. And we had been married for two years. The gifts and flowers I had received over the past five years were not as much as those in the past three months.

  It turned out that the romantic cover-up was for her.

  I knew that Bryce had a first love of three years, but I didn't know her name was Eva.

  I didn't even know that she was working for Bryce somehow.

  After returning from studying abroad, her excellent resume and ability made her a capable subordinate of Bryce within only a few months.

  Then, there was the scene outside the private room.
