Wife Falls in Love with School Brother

"Awake, Jack? I've prepared oatmeal. Freshen up and come eat. I've researched it, oatmeal is beneficial for gastric cancer patients. You can't eat just anything anymore."

The next morning, I found Selina bustling about in my kitchen.

Had this been the old me witnessing this scene, I would have been overjoyed for the entire day.

But now, I felt nothing, not even a flicker. I even regretted not retrieving my salary card and house keys from Selina yesterday.

The keys were inconsequential. It was the salary card that mattered. I resolved to take a leave from work shortly and head to the bank to report it lost and get a new card with a different number.

I was determined in my heart to have no further contact with Selina.

"What's the matter? Aren't you going to wash up? You're going to be late for work," Selina said to me with a smile.

I didn't respond to her, but to keep her at bay for the moment, I went to wash up.

However, upon exiting the bathroom and seeing the pot of burnt oatmeal on the dining table, I felt silent.

It suddenly dawned on me that I was always the one to prepare or buy breakfast and deliver it to Selina's office downstairs.

She was such a novice that she couldn't even distinguish between peas and green beans.

At this thought, my appetite for breakfast vanished. I simply put on my coat, ready to head out immediately.

"Jack, you must eat breakfast!"

Selina blocked my path.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Garcia. I'm not in a position to enjoy your breakfast."

I said sternly, "Furthermore, do not trespass on my property. If you do it again, I will call the police."

"Jack! How long are you going to act unreasonably? I've gone this far! Can't we just go back to how things were?!"

Faced with my cold demeanor, Selina finally snapped.

Just as I was about to retort, Selina's phone on the dining table suddenly lit up.

I distinctly saw it was a call from Kevin.

The campus romance-themed ringtone set my heart even colder.

Selina picked up the phone, glanced at my expression, hesitated for a moment, and ultimately decided to ignore the call.

"Why aren't you answering the call?"

I looked at her with a mocking smile.

"Your situation is more important," Selina said.

But no sooner had she finished speaking than Kevin called again.

This time, Selina lacked the resoluteness she had initially shown. She wavered, staring at the phone screen.

"You must be thinking something serious must have happened so that he's calling so urgently, right? In that case, you should answer. After all, we've already broken up. I have no right to interfere with what you like to do. Similarly, you can't control what I do."

I exposed Selina's indecision.

Upon hearing my words, Selina finally made her choice. She answered the call.

"Selin, where are you? I've been in a car accident. I'm so scared right now!"

A distinctive male voice came through, the petulant tone sending shivers down my spine.

Although Kevin's voice sounded feeble, the news he shared was far from trivial.

"What? Kevin, don't panic. I'm coming right away!"

Selina immediately became flustered and hastily removed the apron she was wearing.

In her haste, the oatmeal on the dining table was knocked to the floor.

The pot crashed onto the cold ground, shattering into pieces, much like my heart at that moment.

So ironic. She had just said my situation was more important, but upon receiving Kevin's call, she panicked so much.

She didn't even show this level of concern when she found out about my gastric cancer yesterday.

I was filled with mixed emotions and decided to leave, but Selina suddenly grabbed my arm forcefully.

"Jack, where are you going? Hurry up and drive to Azure Street. Kevin is waiting for us!" she said urgently.

"Why should I drive you there? He only called out your name. You can go just by yourself!"

I shook off Selina's grip.

"Jack, have you had enough of this nonsense? Kevin has been in an accident, and the outcome is still uncertain! If anything happens to Kevin because of you, I will..."

Selina's voice trailed off because I was staring at her with an icy gaze.

"What will you do? Go on..." I said, enunciating each word.

"I... I... I don't care. In any case, if you don't take me to Kevin, you don't love me anymore! You're a murderer who stands idly by!"

Selina threw caution to the wind recklessly.

"It wasn't me who caused his accident. Why are you calling me a murderer?"

I countered with a bitter laugh, "Since you're so desperate to see him, I'll take you to him."

After this incident, I felt an even greater urgency to change the locks and freeze the credit card.

Coincidentally, both tasks could be accomplished on Azure Street.

Selina had the audacity to call me a murderer. If I delayed any longer, I shuddered to think what she might do next.
