Rebirth: My Wife's Secret was Revealed By Me

In my past lives, everyone envied me for having such an understanding and kind wife.

But only I knew, we've been married for five years, Luna never has never allowed me to touch her.

Her heart belonged solely to her first love, Felix Woods.

I am nothing more than her shield in this marriage.

Even when I died saving her, she didn't shed a single tear. Now, reborn, I've decided to let go and free myself from this marriage prison.

——

"I’m going to pack the food for Felix. He needs the nutrition. Make another meal for yourself. Oh, and my parents are having dinner tonight. Go accompany them and tell them I'm too busy with work to make it."

As my hearing and vision cleared, I saw Luna White bending over to pack the food. I realized I had been reborn. This scene was just like in my past lifes; Luna was off to take care of her first love again without so much as a thank you or leaving a single leaf of vegetable for me.

"Let's get a divorce," I said, taking a deep breath.

"What?" Luna was taken aback.

"If Felix Woods needs your care so much and you love him that deeply, why keep using me as a shield? You two can get married for all I care. I'm stepping aside."

I spoke calmly.

"Don't throw a tantrum. Felix is waiting for his meal. I'm leaving now," Luna scoffed, rolling her eyes before rushing out.

I see... In my past lifes, I never stood up for myself. I was a fool who thought I could melt a stone with my affection. Luna and I met through a matchmaker. Despite her cold demeanor and the feeling that she kept everyone at arm's length, she agreed to be with me and even proposed marriage. Back then, I had no idea she couldn't let go of her first love, Felix Woods, nor did she mention it. I thought she was my love at first sight.

On our wedding night, Luna told me, "I have a very important friend in the hospital, suffering greatly. Without me, he can't make it. So, I need to visit him often. I hope you understand." Her eyes were red, tears threatening to fall, making my heart ache. Not only did I not mind, but I also prepared milk and dinner for her to take. She left without a word of apology, both when she went and when she returned the next morning. Even on days when she should have been visiting her parents, she stayed with Felix, and I covered for her with lies. Over time, she grew to take it for granted, thinking it was my duty to help her deceive everyone. Not once did she apologize.

For five years, she only called me "Evan" instead of my full name, Evan Miller, as if that was some sort of reward. She was like a kite on a string that I held onto with all my strength, only to realize I was hurting myself.

Enough! I've decided to let go this lifetime.

Since Luna loved her cancer-stricken first love so much that she couldn't wait to be by his side every night and day, I would let them be together! But I won't wish them happiness, nor do I think they'll find it.

My phone buzzed; it was Luna.

"Hello!"

"I forgot to take the gift I bought for Felix. Bring it to me right away. The doctor said we need to keep Felix happy," Luna urged.

She must be frantic, like a cat on a hot tin roof. I laughed bitterly.

"Get it yourself." Over the years, I never received a single gift from Luna. Once, on my birthday, she bought a watch at the mall. I thought it was for me and was overjoyed. But she wrapped it up and gave it to Felix. That moment left me utterly disappointed and depressed for half a month.
