Since You Don't Love Me, I’m Leaving

I seemed to have really healed him. He no longer did things that hurt himself and no longer had thoughts of suicide for love.

The smell of cigarettes and alcohol on his body was covered by the pleasant smell of men's perfume and he would also fall asleep peacefully in my arms at night after making love.

Late one night, he suddenly told me, “Cherry, let's have a child.”

I could hear my heart pounding. After that night, Jody and I were completely honest with each other.

There was only each other between us, nothing in between.

But everything changed after Cameron appeared.

She returned from abroad two years ago. As soon as she returned, she found Jody, cried and said she was divorced.

From then on, Jody changed.

He became the person who only had Regina in his heart and eyes again and he even hated me.

“I know you have no good intentions. You don't even look at what kind of person you are, but you still want to replace Regina in my heart. How filthy and despicable!”

He refused to acknowledge me as his wife and threw me a signed divorce agreement. He also did not allow Mr. Hayden to include me in the Hayden Family tree. 

Every year on New Year Eve, he forced someone to force me to kowtow and admit my mistakes in front of Regina.

Cameron said that I deserved it because I had bad intentions in wanting to replace her sister.

She said that her sister was Jody's first wife and I was just his second wife, so I had to go and pay tribute to her sister, calling it the ritual of a concubine.

“What's the difference between remarrying and being a lowly concubine in ancient times? It's a bargain for you to worship my sister. 

“If it was someone else who wanted to replace my sister, Jody would have ruined her reputation long ago. But you are the one who got the advantage and still acted like a good kid, pretending that you really want to marry into the Hayden Family and become a rich wife. 

“Do you dare to say that you have never thought about marrying Jody?”

I dare not say it, because I really wanted to marry Jody before, but I really never thought about replacing Regina's position in Jody's heart. 

I just hope that Jody can open his heart to me a little, even a little bit, I would be ecstatic.

But even though I knelt in front of Regina's tomb and knocked my forehead, I did not even get a glance from Jody.

He would only say, “Cherry, you have impure thoughts. You should kowtow to Regina and confess your sins. That's what you should do.”

My thoughts were pulled back by Jody's cold voice.

“No.” He looked at me, his face full of disgust, every word pronounced clearly, “I never thought about having a child with you. Cherry, someone like you is not worthy of giving birth to my child!”

My head was buzzing and my ears were ringing.

Jody personally denied the three years he spent with me.

After saying this, Jody left. Before leaving, he forcibly took off the ring on my hand and scolded, “You should wear this ring only when you have cleansed your heart.”

My fingers were empty and my heart, which had been struggling to hold on, was also empty.

I could not get into Jody's heart and finally I could not hold on any longer and continued to be attached to him.

Cameron curled her lips and pushed me away with her shoulder, feeling confident as she confronted, “You want to give birth to Jody's child? I don't know where you got the guts to even think about it!

“I tell you, if it weren't for Mr. Hayden's interference, you wouldn't be sitting in today's position now!”

She came closer to me and smiled evilly as she added, “After all, I still have a face that looks 80% like Regina and what about you? Cherry, what do you have? 

“You can't be so self-indulgent as to think that Jody has really forgotten Regina and fallen in love with you, right?”
