Marry You Again? Never! Get Away!

I was fed up with all of that and chose to stay where I was, assuming no one was home at that time.

However, Denver came with his shoes still in his foot and said, “Hey, are you deaf?”

But before he sat next to me, his finger casually swiped a finger over the table, scowling at the dust.

He grumbled, “Why is the house so dirty? I told you to clean everything, because even a little dust on the corner will make me itchy. If you are already dumb, please don't be a useless person.

“Make sure everything is clean before I come back, understand?”

Muttering his orders, he went off to the shower.

I knew if Denver was having a dust allergy, so I had been a clean freak for a decade to keep him comfortable.

But at that moment, I didn't even care anymore, instead hoping that his body would be covered in malignant rashes.

After taking a shower, it seemed that he had recovered from his drunk state.

So, he tried his best to come near to me, ignoring the dirty surrounding and asked, “Why don’t you move? Still mad at me because of that apple thing?”

I didn’t answer nor nod.

“Ivy, it is just a small problem. Look, our son is this big. Why are you so mad when hearing that I ask him to do a trivial thing?” He said while pointing at the picture on my hand.

“Trivial thing, you say? Sending our son to the storm just to make your mistress happy is a small problem?” I could not help yelling angrily.

The thing that my husband called a small thing had killed my son.

If he did not climb the tree that day, maybe he would be sitting next to me at that moment.

“Of course, just move on from it. Oh anyway, I brought you some gift, wait a minute,” Denver said and left me alone again.

I smirked, moving on was not an easy thing everyone could do.

How could I move from my son’s last sentence?

He was so disappointed when realizing if he could not deliver the apples to his father, without knowing that his father did not care at all.

Denver came again with a present in his hand. He said, "Check this out, see if it’s your style."

From the box, I could see if it was diamond jewelry.

But I had seen it before on Rosalyn’s social media. She bragged about having many diamond jewelry and would throw some of it.

So, the one Denver brought that time was the one Rosalyn threw.

“When I saw it, I immediately knew if it suits you,” Denver claimed.

I sneered, emphasizing ‘us’ in my words, “This kind of thing will never make us forgive you.”

Denver was taken aback when hearing that, he directly stated, “He is also mad at me because of that thing? Fine, I’ll smooth things over next holiday. Gabriel has always been a daddy’s boy after all.”

My husband was always like that, thinking that everything would be fine as long as you gave them something that made them happy. In fact, everything was not that simple.

In the end, I ignored him and stood up to take the divorce agreement instead.

“So, when’s this divorce happening?” I calmly asked while bragging about the document.

Denver’s mood soured immediately, he was fed up with that kind of thing and yelled angrily, "This thing again? Ivy, enough already. As long as the terms and conditions are still the same, I will never divorce you!"

Then he went out, banged the door and gave me silent treatment as he always did.

The first time I met Denver, it was in the most unexpected of places, an Academy restroom.

I was in such a hurry that I forgot to lock the door.

But when I had just dropped my pants and squatted down, the door suddenly burst open.

There stood Denver, frozen in place, his eyes wide with shock.

I screamed instinctively and wondered whether I went to the wrong toilet sign because I was in a hurry.

But then Denver apologized, “Sorry, I read the wrong sign. It should be for a woman.”

Then, he shut the door and I could hear that the restroom next to me was open.

My face was red because of embarrassment at that moment. I even waited for that man to come out of the restroom first, hoping I wouldn't meet him again.

But after waiting for so long, when I came out of the room, the man turned out to have been waiting for me outside.

I could not help screaming in startled, “Argh! Why are you still here?

“Sorry to startle you. I am sorry for everything. Please forgive me, I did not mean that. I was in a hurry so that I couldn't see the right sign. Don't be mad at me, I truly sorry,” he showered me with sincere apologies.

But that kind of thing was something that was unforgivable.

Although I was also wrong for not locking the door before using the restroom, it was improper to open the closed door right away.

Moreover, there was already a sign in front of the restroom that it was the women's restroom.

In embarrassment, tears welled up in my eyes as I yelled, "Apologies won’t unsee what you’ve seen."

He rubbed the back of his neck, looking genuinely regretful and said, "You are right. Everything has happened and we can’t reverse or erase it. But I promise I will fix it until you will forgive me."

I was still sobbing when I retorted, "How do you plan to fix this? It’s unforgivable."

Denver seemed hesitant at first, but then he gently wiped my tears from my cheek and promised, "After we graduate, you and I are getting married."

I was shocked when hearing his funny jokes. He seemed to take marriage too lightly, to the point of proposing in such a strange way.

“Don’t joke with me. We don’t even know each other,” I yelled again.

Denver was taken aback. He responded to my remark innocently, "So, you're worried about that? Well then, let me introduce myself, I'm Denver Vaughn, son of a Beta in the Highridge Pack. After graduation, I'll be an Alpha subordinate as well as your husband if you agree to marry me.”

What nonsense!

But then I laughed in tears.

“Oh, my Goddess. You are so funny. Why are you so innocent, Denver?”
