May 1st: My Wife's Camping Trip with Her Best Male Friend

I saw Emily holding Daniel's waist, leaning her head gently on his shoulder, and talking to him with a tilted head. They looked like a couple in love.

I cleared my throat.

Emily froze for a moment when she saw me, but quickly regained her composure and let go of her hand.

And Daniel, calmly like a host, greeted me, "Justin, you're back."

I tried to ignore the discomfort lingering in my heart, and I nodded at him.

However, what happened afterwards made me even more unhappy.

It was like someone else had taken over my position.

The dinner that night was made by Daniel.

Daniel and Emily have never stopped their conversation since they sat at the table. They spoke in a dialect that I couldn't understand. I was completely isolated from them.

When I tasted something delicious, Emily didn't hesitate to put it in Daniel's bowl in front of me.

When Daniel thought the food was too spicy, he picked up the soup in Emily's bowl and took a big sip.

Seeing me looking at him, Daniel felt uneasy and touched his head. "Justin, don't mind. Emily and I used to do this often when we were young. Not to mention a bowl of soup, we even took baths together."

What? Why did I think he was showing off?

Seeing this, Emily gave me a disdainful look. "Don't mind him. We're all friends. Just eat and drink as you please. No need to explain it."

After that, they treated me as if I were not here, like the forgotten roses on the side. Emily never looked at me from beginning to end.

After dinner, Emily and Daniel watched TV in the living room, while I washed dishes in the kitchen.

Not long after, Emily's laughter penetrated the walls and reached my ears clearly.

I couldn't help but glance outside.

This glance made me furious.

There was no man who could stay calm when he saw his wife resting her head on another man's leg.

Daniel even fed her shrimp chips and handed her a bottle of Coke he'd taken a sip from.

Emily naturally took a sip with the straw.

After Daniel left, I couldn't bear it anymore and questioned her. "Emily, don't you think you and Daniel have overstepped your bounds?"

Emily's face turned dark, and she said, "What do you mean, Justin? He is the only friend I have here. What's wrong with getting closer to him? Can you stop thinking like a jealous husband all the time?"

"Otherwise, you don't have time to accompany me. What's wrong with me finding someone else to accompany me? I've known him longer than you. If we wanted to be together, we would have been together long ago."

"I didn't realize how petty you are. We've been together for so many years. Don't you have any trust in me?"

I just asked her a question, and she snapped at me.

Only people with guilt would talk so much to hide themselves.

She and Daniel have been crossing lines frequently. If I continued to leave them alone, I didn't even know when she would betray me.

Because of Daniel, Emily and I didn't talk again!
