The Scumbag Was Defeated By Me

On our seventh wedding anniversary, Ethan Sean, my husband, replaced the imported life-saving drug for me with vitamin C.

I was rushed into the ER and made it, but the baby in my belly didn't.

After leaving the ICU, I sent Ethan the divorce paper I had prepared.

He was finally willing to talk to me.

In the video chat, his childhood sweetheart cried brokenheartedly.

"Yara, I'm sorry I almost hurt you. Can you please not blame Ethan?"

Ethan wiped her tears gently as if he had done it many times. When he turned to me, he looked impatient.

"It's nothing. Don't make a big deal out of this!"

The next time I saw him was after I was discharged from the hospital.

"Why is our place so messed up?"

That was the first time Ethan had returned home that month.

He seemed to have forgotten that I had just been discharged from the hospital and only got home half an hour earlier than him.

Ethan had severe mysophobia. When he touched the table and saw some dust on his fingers, he frowned as expected.

"You have ten minutes to clean this place!"

Mr. Sean, who had always stood above everyone else, was as authoritative as ever when giving orders.

I glanced at the place where I could never call home and felt no desire to clean up.

No matter how clean the house was, Ethan would still be here only on the 15th of every month.

While I was updating myself with the recent news on the couch, Ethan came out of the study.

He stared at me with displeasure for a few moments before he took out a small gift box from his pocket.

"I forgot to give this to you when I got back."

He still sounded condescending. He thought the pearls in the box would make him forgive him as usual.

I didn't accept it.

I knew it was for Brenda Hunter, but the latter didn't like it. So, Ethan wanted me to have it.

Ethan used to like selecting jewelry for me, and he said his wife deserved the best things in the world.

But later, I could only get things Brenda didn't want.

"What do you mean?"

Ethan lost his patience.

I put away my phone and looked at him in his eyes.

"Let's get a divorce while the City Hall staff is still on work."
