Sacrificing My Youth for a Short Marriage

However, it seemed she also rushed to the shop and even had no time to put her suitcase in the hotel.

No, she said she would only each other last time, so why would she bring a suitcase?

It was really hard to guess where they were going next.

Witnessed two people getting into a taxi together.

I drove my already rented car and followed them all the way to a high-end hotel.

Sure, I couldn't get in.

But I put a mini camera on James' backpack.

Half an hour later.

Ambiguous and passionate sounds came out from the networked surveillance screen.

I covered my mouth tightly.

Pinched my nails hard into my palm.

When James returned, I had already returned to the hotel.

He smiled as he put down the packed butter tea and walked over to the bed, leaning in to kiss me.

Little did he know, I wasn't in bed.

He shrugged and turned around to see me coming out of the bathroom.

"Nicola, why don't you rest in bed?"

I looked at him and suddenly said, "James, come and take a video with me."

He looked puzzled. "What video?"

"Come over and you'll find out."

In front of him, I opened the "Six Glasses of Wine for Myself" challenge.

James was immediately shocked and pale.

"What the hell is this video? It's so weird."

I gave no response, just turning on the camera and aiming it at us.

He was very resistant and said, "You can take a video yourself, Baby. I have social anxiety."

Upon hearing this, I felt a sense of irony in my heart.

Social anxiety? But that video of yours had already reached ten millions views as of today.

I said nothing, insisting on pulling him into the camera.

I could tell he was getting impatient.

But after a long struggle, he chose to compromise.

So, I faced the camera, drinking water instead of wine.

Imitated James and toasted myself with six glasses of wine.

"First, to myself, for meeting him at seventeen."

"Second, to myself, for remaining true to him, loving him and marrying him at twenty-seven."

"Third, to myself, for finding an empty potato chip package at home."

With that, I pulled out the crumpled, yet well-preserved bag of chips from behind me.

The man just turned his head in shock, not caring about how he looked on camera.

He blushed, broke his guard and tried to come and grab what I had in my hand.

"Where did you find it? Give it back to me!"

I stood up, took out the note from the bag and thrusted it directly at the screen.

A line of words written on it: [If you miss me, come to Therondia to find me.]

James was caught off guard by my action.

By the time he snatched the note back, a barrage of comments was popping into the screen.

Yes, I wasn't filming a video.

But rather, livestreaming.

I actually discovered the potato chip bag a long time ago.

It was hidden in his drawer, but I never opened it before.

I simply thought he did it to remember my preferences.

But on the day I set off from home to Therondia, I opened it.

And a small note popped out.

A bright, shiny, provocative note to me.

James still stood in a daze.

He should have realized something.

"Nicola, why did you come to Therondia?"

I glanced at the lively livestream room. Sure enough, someone seemed to have recognized James.

"Isn't he the man in that popular video? Did he have a fight with his sister-in-law?"

James hadn't noticed yet.

He was still questioning me.

"Are you done yet! I told you there's nothing going on between Savannah and me!"

I raised my eyebrows. "Did I mention her?"

His words got stuck in his throat and turned into a swear word that broke his defense.

He started packing his belongings.

"We're leaving now."

But I refused.

I faced the camera and continued to toast myself with the last few glasses of "wine".

"Fourth, to myself, for realizing on the third day after marriage that my marriage is rotten and full of betrayal!"

"Fifth, to myself, for catching my husband checking into a hotel with his mistress on the fifth day of our marriage."

"Sixth, to myself, for ending a ten-year relationship and being single again."

The next second, the livestream exploded.

James also looked at me in shock.

"What did you say?"

My eyes welled up and I looked at him as if he were a stranger.

"I said, let's get a divorce."
