Returning From Divorce: Ex-husband Regrets

“Of course, I can’t answer the phone while I’m working.”

I took the things I bought, put them in the guest bedroom and put my things there as well.

“Emma, how can we live like this? What is the financial situation of our family? Why did you buy these useless things? Who are you trying to scare by putting on all kinds of colorful things?” He picked up the skin care products I bought and scolded loudly.

I put down my bedding and clothes and snatched the things from his hands.

“What? Can’t I dress myself up? How many ties and suits did you buy and how much did you spend?” I pushed him out the door, not wanting to tolerate his double standards.

“I was doing that for socializing, you know, I made a mistake and needed an opportunity…”

I slammed the door shut, really not wanting to listen to his lies anymore.

“Emma!”

Soon, there was a door slamming outside, it should be that he was going to have a cold war with me.

Every time he thought I was being unreasonable, he would have a cold war with me and when he made a mistake, he would shamelessly blackmail me morally.

It was so childish, so childish that it made me sick. It was just right that he left. I spent the next half month in great comfort.

I ate well, slept well, worked efficiently and my whole state became better as if I had been reborn. It turned out that confidence and a good attitude were really the best cosmetic surgery for women.

This weekend, I was alone at home, applying a facial mask and reading a book, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

I opened the door and it turned out to be Elaine, whom I hadn’t seen for a long time. She even came to my house.

Elaine took off her sunglasses and looked at me in loose pajamas. “It’s Emma, right? I heard from my classmates that you haven’t been doing well in the past few years, so I came here to care about you.”

She was carrying a box of Sunshine Roses in her hand and the bag she was carrying was tens of thousands of dollars, which was also given by her “boyfriend”.

Before I could say anything, she had already walked in and began to look around the whole house.

“Emma, I heard that you have been working two jobs recently. You have to be careful that you will age quickly.”

I tore off the mask and watched her act like a demon.

But when she saw that my skin was plump, although not delicate, but obviously rosy, she looked a little jealous.

Elaine lowered her mouth and laughed awkwardly. “You secretly went for cosmetic surgery, right?”

I could see the jealousy flashing in her eyes. “No, I’m in good shape recently and I feel relaxed, so I look younger. What about you, Elaine? I heard that you married a British executive after going abroad and your life must be better than mine.”

I picked her soft spot to poke. The executive was a domestic abuser. Not only did he cheat her money, he also beat her often, so she fled back to Aglary to find Lionel.

That was, Lionel, who rushed to recycle the garbage that others didn’t want at the meeting. Emma’s eyes pierced fiercely and the expression on her face was ferocious for a moment.

But she smiled soon. “People still have to look to the future. Look at your house, the lighting is not good, the location is not good and the area is not large. Do you know? My boyfriend bought me a new house, a 150-square-meter river view house and invites you to see it someday.”

I thought I was strong enough, but her words were like a sharp knife, cutting my wounds again and again..

“Really?” I smiled bitterly.

Elaine was even prouder. “You also know my boyfriend, we are old classmates. Look, he’s back.”

The door was opened and Lionel walked into the house as usual.
