She walked in holding a pot of chicken soup , opened the door without knocking .
After I heard a commotion in the bedroom , I grabbed a vase and rushed out .
There were only three keys to the new house two were with Alan Simpson and me , and I had kept the third one as a backup .
Clearly , it had now ended up in Mrs.
Simpsons hands .
Her expression was casual , as if nothing had happened the day before .
Good girl , Ive made you some chicken soup .
1/7 Chapter 5 + 5 Points Mrs.
Simpson motioned for me to sit down.n.
I glanced at the clear soup in the clay pot and wondered how much tap water had beenen added .
The chicken soup was probably long gone , consumed by Alice Mitchell , right ? Where is Alice Mitchell staying now ? Seeing my curiosity , Mrs.
Simpson assumed I was ready to accept her , then she immediately sat down and began to complain to me .
Mr.
and Mrs.
Simpson had always lived in an old suburban neighborhood , but Alice Mitchell , having lost her financial support , could no longer afford the rent on her villa So , she had moved in with them .
A woman like Alice Mitchell could fill an entire plaza with just her bags and shoes .
How could a small apartment like the Li 2/7 Chapter 5 + 5 Points familys possibly fit all her things ? I could imagine that space was now so cluttered there wasnt even room to stand .
I pushed the soup away and grabbed a loaf of bread from the fridge , munching on it .
You dont need to try and make nice with me .
I wont let that woman through the door .
In the end , Mrs.
Simpson and I parted on bad terms .
As soon as she left , I changed the locks on the door , called two cleaners to tidy up the rooms , and drove to the nearest law office .
I specifically asked for a top lawyer to consult about divorce .
Before I got married , a colleague had once explained to me that if a marriage broke down due to other reasons 3/7 Chapter 5 + 5 Points or if one party had bad habits , a unilateral divorce petition was possible .
Even if Alice Mitchells child had inheritance rights , at least she wouldnt be able to inherit anything of mine .
So I had to settle everything before Alan Simpson tried to meddle .
The lawyer prepared the necessary documents for me , and the paternity test Alice Mitchell had thrown at me could serve as evidence of Alan Simpsons infidelity .
After everything was set , I let out a deep breath of relief .
In this relationship , I had always been the most humble one .
Alan Simpsons work kept him busy , and he often travels for business .
Valentines Day , Thanksgiving , and even Christmas were spent by myself , eating 4/7 Chapter 5 + 5 Points instant noodles .
But now , when I thought about it , while I was scrimping and saving for our future , eating noodles , he was out dining with Alice .
Mitchell , buying designer brands , enjoying romantic nights under the stars , indulging in the excitement and thrill of an affair .
The more I thought about it , the more I felt cheated .
I drove to the commercial district , gazing at the neon lights of the street , deciding that tonight I would treat myself .
I was going to buy clothes lots of clothes- and indulge in all the beauty treatments and massages Id never allowed myself before .
By the time I left the clothing store , my hands were filled with shopping bags .
I rushed to the jewelry store and bought an entire diamond set without even blinking .
5/7 Chapter 5 + 5 Points Passing by a handbag counter , I spotted the limited edition bag Alice Mitchell had been carrying .
My eyes lingered on it , and after listening to the saleswoman for an hour , I swiped my card for an even more expensive bag .
I wasnt interested in what others had ; if I was going to buy , Id buy something better , something more expensive .
I found a high end spa , treated myself to a thorough session , then slipped into a new black bodycon dress , went for a spa treatment , a manicure , and even had my eyelashes permed with the best , most expensive products .
I even had a makeup artist create an exquisite look .
Looking at myself in the mirror , I was pleased with what I saw.
6/7 Chapter 5 + 5 Points I piled everything into the trunk , and by the time I was done , it was quite late .
Carrying my bag , I headed to a five star restaurant and enjoyed an extravagant Western meal by the floor to ceiling windows .
Candles , wine , and a serene , elegant atmosphere .
As I gazed at the dazzling night lights below , my mood lifted significantly .
Just as I was about to pay the bill and leave , I bumped into someone at the elevator .
