My Husband's Struggle for Career and My Support

He had a smile on his face, with dimples faintly visible, but it no longer captivated me.

It seemed like he was looking forward to my surprise.

It was as if the confrontation half an hour ago had never happened.

I glanced at my abdomen and decided not to tell him that I was pregnant.

As for the 50 million dollars in the lottery, it had nothing to do with him.

"The necklace is nice, but I don't like it. It might be more suitable to give it to Amy."

I pressed down his hand that was about to put the necklace on me.

I had never liked pearls, and Shaw had always been aware of this.

On the other hand, Amy was particularly fond of collecting pearl jewelry. He had done a lot of research on pearls to cater to her preferences, and could be considered half an expert now.

His hand froze in mid-air, and the smile on his face disappeared.

"Are you still angry? Is it necessary to celebrate an anniversary? I have carefully chosen a gift for you, what else do you want?"

It could be seen that this string of pearls was indeed carefully selected by him.

As for the intention behind the carefully chosen gift, I couldn't be bothered to reveal it.

I covered the box and pushed the gift aside.

"I don't want anything. It's just an anniversary. Whether we celebrate it or not, it's fine. You should make Amy happy and strive for a promotion. So, since it's still early, you should go to the company quickly and don't make it difficult for her. Among the dozen or so people under her, only you are useful."

Shaw couldn't help but frown.

Because I said everything he wanted to say.

After listening to my calm and familiar long speech, he scrutinized me displeasedly for a while.

When he realized that I was not really angry and not playing tricks on him, he grabbed my hand tightly.

"I was unclogging the sewer all night yesterday. Look at how heavy my dark circles are! This time, I should have solved the core problem. Even if it gets blocked again, it won't be as serious. Moreover, she promised me that I will be in charge of the latest project!"

"Oh, then congratulations in advance."

"Shaw, let's get divorced."

Just the thought of him going to Amy's house every few days to unclog the sewer makes my stomach churn.

"What did you just say?"

"What divorce?"

Shaw widened his eyes and stared blankly for a while before saying.

"Jane! What are you causing trouble for again? Are you divorcing me just because I helped a female boss with a favor? I've never heard such a ridiculous reason for divorce!"

"I've already apologized to you and specially took leave to accompany you on our anniversary. If you don't like the gift, I can choose another one for you. What are you unsatisfied with? Why do you make such a fuss?"

"If it weren't for wanting you to live the rich life, would I need to stoop so low as to unclog the sewer for a female boss?"

"I owe all my achievements today to her guidance and promotion. Without her, we wouldn't have a worry-free life. Now you want to divorce me over this trivial matter. Where does that leave her?"

"She said I shouldn't spoil you like this, and she was right! Look at how ugly you look now, being jealous and suspicious all the time."

I looked at him in disbelief.

Every time Amy called, he was so happy that he wanted to rush to work on a flying wheel.

I could recite his perfunctory explanations for three years.

Didn't that high-end residential area have property management? Couldn't she call professional plumbers?

I even enthusiastically found several reliable and cost-effective plumbers for him, just because I was worried that he would not handle things well and affect his future.

But he told me that Amy was a woman, and it was not safe to have the male plumber come to the door so late at night.

But he forgot that on the night when the water pipe burst, he impatiently asked me to find someone to fix it myself.

At that time, he didn't worry at all about his wife being alone at home.
