Ten Years of Marriage Can't Compete with First Love
Chapter 2
In less than an hour, Madge posted on Instagram again.
In the photo, she and Marvin made a hand heart, and judging from the background, they were at the airport.
Again, she attached some words.
[I said I was in a bad mood, and my Prince Charming took me on a trip. I love his decisiveness and high efficiency!]
Just after arguing with me, he happily went on a trip with Madge.
I couldn't help but think of the countless times I told him that I wanted to travel.
Every time, he either said he was busy or came up with various excuses to stall me.
Or he'd blame me out of anger and say I only cared about having fun and had no desire to advance.
And the result was, we had never traveled after being married for ten years.
What hurt me even more was the comment from Marvin.
[I promised you that I'd only travel with you in this lifetime. See? I kept my promise.]
So, this was the reason why he had never traveled with me.
It was because he had made a promise to another woman.
What did I do wrong?
I used to wonder if I didn't appreciate how hard he worked.
I was so stupid.
His comment was like a heavy blow, hitting my chest, making it almost impossible for me to breathe, and making me completely sober from this unequal marriage from beginning to end.
After sitting alone all night, I decided to talk with him properly.
I called him, and it rang for a long time before he answered.
As soon as he spoke, his tone was impatient. He said, "You know you're wrong so soon?
"Apologize to me sincerely and promise not to make similar mistakes again, and then I will consider forgiving you."
I sneered. He thought I was going to apologize to him?
I must have been so lowly in his eyes, which was why he felt he could disrespect me however he wanted.
I calmly said.
"I'm not calling to apologize. I have something to say to you..."
He interrupted before I finished speaking in a cold voice.
"I thought you had changed. It seems I overestimated you. You made mistakes and don't repent. What tricks are you playing now?
"I'm on a business trip and engaged in important matters. Don't..."
At the same time, I heard a painful cry on the other end of the line. It was Madge's voice.
I heard a snap sound. It seemed the phone was dropped on the ground, but the call wasn't hung up.
The sounds from the other end of the line came clearly into my ears.
Marvin nervously and gently asked, "Madge, what happened?"
Madge's voice was soft and tender. "I slipped and fell while taking a shower."
"Are you hurt? Let me go in and have a look."
"You're so bad! I haven't put on my clothes yet."
"Madge, I've seen every part of you..."
Not long after, she started to moan, and her voice was mixed with his low roar.
I knew what was going on and hung up the phone.
I no longer wanted such a disgusting man.
In the next few days, Madge kept posting on Instagram.
There were photos of them enjoying food in fancy restaurants and making a hand heart while watching the sunset together.
One photo stood out. In the photo, under the snow-capped mountains, they looked back at each other with deep affection, and they were only a fingertip away from kissing. They looked totally intimate.
Her words attached were, [The luckiest thing for me is that I come back ten years later, and you still love me as before.]
Marvin's comment was, [I waited for you for ten years, and finally, you are back.]
They showed off their love as if they were a couple who had been separated for ten years, finally breaking through the obstacles and then showing off their love crazily.
They went to Switzerland, the place I had always wanted to go with him.
I remembered that I came across a short video one day, which described Switzerland and its beautiful scenery. The words attached were extremely beautiful.
[There is a place called Switzerland, where I want to go with my beloved, to see the blue sky, the white snow-capped mountains, the golden grassland, and a fairy tale of autumn...]
Excitedly, I showed the video to Marvin, telling him that I wanted to go there with him.
But he glanced at it indifferently and said with a stern face, "Can you stop fantasizing all the time? These are all tricks to deceive fools like you. It seems pretty, but it's all video effects. This isn't real."
I felt like being poured with a bucket of cold water.
Since then, I never mentioned to him about wanting to travel.
My heart ached as if it had been pricked by countless needles.
I decided not to let myself fall into this kind of pain again.
I sent a message to Marvin, [Let's get divorced.]
Soon, he called me.
Suppressing his anger, he questioned me, "What's this about again? Why are you acting crazy? I asked you to reflect, and this is the result of your reflection? Using divorce to make a scene?
"I know. It's all because I didn't get you the medicine. You're very much alive, aren't you? Do you have to make such a big deal out of it?
"Don't go too far. I only have limited patience."
At this moment, Madge's charming voice rang out. "Marvin, I want to eat ice cream. Go buy it for me."
Marvin said hastily, "Think about it. I have things to do."
Then he hung up the phone.
