From Now On, I Will Only Love Him

I dropped Emily off at her home first.

I wasn't someone who liked to expose my personal matters to others. So, over the years, I hadn't uttered a single word about any issues between Hank and me to her.

When I got home, Hank and Selena were sitting on the sofa with serious expressions on their faces.

Hank tried to put on a smile upon seeing me, but it disappeared when he saw the divorce agreement in my hand.

"Yara, Selena and I really didn't cross any boundaries. Will you forgive me this time, please?"

Before I could say anything, Selena stood up stiffly.

"Yara, we made a mistake, but Hank and I have just started. I promise that I will never meet Hank again.

"I... I never thought of destroying your family..."

After just two sentences, she started crying, her shoulders trembling, and she looked like a delicate little white flower.

Hank's feet shifted slightly, as if he wanted to comfort her. But considering I was there, he stood stiffly in place with his thin lips tightly pursed.

I stared at the two of them in amazement.

I hadn't even said anything yet, but they made me feel like a nasty old woman who was trying to break up a couple.

Wow, they were really good.

I held my forehead and sat down on the sofa, trying to look nice.

"I don't mean to blame anyone. I am a very democratic person. Since you two genuinely like each other, I am happy to support you.

"As for this..."

I glanced at the two of them and handed the divorce agreement to Hank.

"Don't worry, I won't fight for the property. Our marital property will be divided equally."

But it was obvious that the two of them were not on the same page as me. They still believed I was angry with them.

As soon as I finished speaking, they both knelt down in front of me without hesitation.

If I hadn't been sitting down, I would have probably jumped out of sight from fear.

"Honey, I'm sorry, I truly realize my mistake. You can hit me if it makes you feel better. I'll do anything you want as long as you calm down.

"I brought Selena here to end things once and for all right in front of you.

"Honey, I don't want a divorce. I love you and can't live without you."

Hank, with a teary voice, was about to cling onto my thighs and wipe his tears if I hadn't dodged quickly enough.

Selena went even further. She slapped herself twice, and her entire face turned red.

"It's my fault, I'm despicable. It was me who seduced Hank. Yara, please forgive him.

"Your six-year relationship surely won't fall apart because of such a small matter, right?"

Looking at Selena's tearful eyes, I wanted to yell at the sky.

Why was this different from what I had imagined?

Shouldn't the mistress want us to get a divorce? Why was she still helping Hank make excuses?

Alright, since you thought I was angry, I decided to create a scene.

I stood up abruptly, slammed the divorce agreement on the table, and yelled, "You are unfaithful, why should I forgive you? Feeling disgusted with myself every day after forgiving you?

"Hank, if you really love me, just sign it, and we'll go our separate ways from now on."

Hank looked at me with teary eyes, his lips trembling. And after a moment, he finally spoke.

"Honey, if you really can't accept it, you can have an affair too. And then we'll be even and can live our lives peacefully, okay?"

What?

His words felt like thunders were crashing all around me, leaving me extremely shocked.

I could never have imagined that Hank, a well-educated man, would say something like this.

What did I do to deserve this?
