Update: 2025-02-28 22:01:17 | 1 View
She widened her eyes , What did you call me ? Auntie , is there a problem ? Im divorced from Ethan , what else should I call you ? You , you actually dared to sign .
I coldly laughed , Your son will soon have a new wife .
I better clear the space .
You filthy mouth ! I smirked , too lazy to deal with her .
I went in and started packing Ethans things .
The Aiden familys stuff filled the house over the years , even my sister in law had her own room here .
Looking at it made me annoyed .
That night , Ethan returned , seeing his things piled outside .
He angrily kicked them away .
The kids cried in fear .
In the past , I was the only one hysterical at home .
Now that I wasnt , Ethan started .
I ignored the kids cries .
My mother in law came out , cursing the kids , making Ethan juggle between calming them and dealing with her .
I completely let go of dealing with my father in law .
After a few days of this , Ethan couldnt take it anymore 7:36 AM < A He worked by day and faced chaos at night .
His mom complained of aches and pains every day .
His dad needed help at night , and chores overwhelmed his mom , who called for his help .
He couldnt rest well at night .
I noticed he spent less time on his phone .
Nora , what do you want ? I was applying skincare .
I used to be thrifty , leading to rough skin .
Now I knew to take care of myself .
I looked at my youthful reflection , surprised , Want what ? I dont get it .
I dont want anything ! Stop pretending .
Cant you see all the problems at home ? My mom and I are exhausted .
So what ? Theyre not my parents .
You , you live here for free and dare talk like this .
I noticed hes been spending less time on his phone lately .
Nora , what do you really want ? I was applying some skincare .
I used to be hesitant to spend on these things , which left my skin a bit rough .
But now I realize I need to take care of myself .
Naturally , Im willing to invest in myself .
Looking at my reflection , which appeared a bit more youthful , I raised an eyebrow , surprised .
What do you mean ? I genuinely have no idea what youre talking about ! Stop pretending .
Cant you see all the issues at home ? My mom and I are exhausted .
So what ? Theyre not my parents .
Youre just freeloading here and you still have the nerve to talk like that .
I chuckled , Hey , watch your words .
Youre living in my house , and Ive never even asked you to pay rent .
Are you deliberately making things difficult for me ? Fine , without me , youll end up as a beggar .
Sorry to burst your bubble , but Im starting a job soon .
After half a month of sending out resumes , I finally landed a position at a company with great potential in trade .
I start tomorrow .
You found a job ? Why didnt you discuss it with me ? Who told you to get a job ? I can support you ! I waved my hand , Hold on .
Were divorced , remember ? Ethan paced back and forth , suddenly furious , You think its that easy to get divorced ? Dont forget , the month isnt up yet .
As long as I dont sign , the divorce wont happen .
I watched Ethan storm off in anger , remaining calm .
No rush , I have my ways .
I found a job and started regaining control of my life .
Leaving early and coming back late , I quick 7:36 Al < ་ On payday , I treated myself to a lot of new clothes .
My mother in law looked at me with eyes full of resentment .
She hasnt had time for mahjong or dancing lately and has visibly lost weight , looking at least a decade older .
Ethan noticed I wasnt backing down and tried sweet talking me .
Every day , hed send messages reminding me to dress warmly or eat when Im hungry .
And just like that , I finally received the message I had been waiting for .
Grace couldnt hold back anymore and sent me a message .
I dont know how she got my number , but she sent me an ultrasound photo , claiming it was Ethans child .
In a past life , I received her message too , but ended up having a huge fight with Ethan .
Since the divorce didnt go through and Ethan quickly took Grace for an abortion , the issue was buried .

I never saw Grace again .
I dont know why Grace sent me the message later this time , but from the ultrasound , the child was almost three months old .
I arranged to meet Grace at a café .
Im having the professors child .
Please divorce him .
I beg you .
I have no other choice .
I looked at Grace .
She was exactly Ethans type .
Gentle , vulnerable , and naïve .
And , of course , pure .
I know its odd to describe a mistress as pure , but Ethan likes this type of innocent girl .
Seeing my silence , Grace panicked , Im really sorry , sister .
I truly have no other choice .
If my dad finds out , hell kill me .
Hes an old teacher who values reputation .
I spoke , Ethan and I are already divorced .
Didnt he tell you ? What ? I sighed , Ive divorced Ethan .
He said he found someone he loves and wants to marry her .
Im old and tired from all the fighting over the years .
Might as well let you two be together ! Grace was excited , The professor said that even though you two lost love over the years , theres still a bond .
He thinks youre not good enough for him , but he said he wont let you and the child suffer .
I internally laughed at Ethans deceit , but outwardly , I seemed comforted , Now that youre pregnant , you should get married soon .
Adults can wait , but the child cant .
Youre so kind , sister .
Once you and the child move out , Ill make sure the professor pays child support on time .
1 I waved it off generously , No need for that .
I didnt ask for a penny in the divorce .
Why would I ask for money now ? Graces eyes lit up , You left with nothing ? Yeah , I havent worked all these years and lived off Ethans money .
I dont have the face to ask for more .
Grace smiled , Youre so right , sister .
Its rare to find someone with such a proper perspective .
Now youre relieved , right ? Your friends are waiting for you .
7:36 AM < I had already noticed a few people peeking in from outside the café .
Grace sheepishly said , My friends were worried Id be at a disadvantage , but I didnt expect you to be so reasonable .
No problem .
Once Ethan and my cooling off period ends , he can meet your dad .
Yeah , yeah .
Grace nodded .
Watching Grace leave , I smiled .
No wonder Ethan likes her .
I like obedient people too .
When I got home that night , I heard a commotion before I even opened the door .
Harper was on the couch , crying her makeup off .
Also in the room were brother in law Felix and his parents .
My mother in law , furious , pointed at Felix , What have you done ? Whats wrong with Harper that you had to find another woman ? I raised an eyebrow , surprised they found out so quickly .
Felix , like Ethan , couldnt stay put .
Seeing me enter , Felix greeted me , Sister in law .
Felix , youre looking well .
Seems like good news lifts the spirit .
Ill admit I did it on purpose .
My mother in law didnt know yet that Felix had a child with someone else .
Harper is crying now , but shell cry more later because she cant have children .
If you cant speak properly , then shut up .
Harper jumped up , Say that again , are you mocking me ? Yeah , I am mocking you .
You deserve it for being disliked by a man .
If you cant control your Harper glared at me , Say it again , I dare you ! why blame Felix ? I shrugged and pulled Felixs mother aside , Aunt , dont you agree with me ? Felix is out there doing important things .
Harper has no right to come to his workplace and make a scene .
Felixs mom laughed , Youre right .
Felix is doing big things outside .
Harper running to his workplace and making a fuss is ridiculous .
I was surprised , Harper is so unreliable .
Really no manners , acting like a shrew .
Felix , you better keep your wife in check , or shell cause more trouble .
Felix , feeling justified , gave Harper a smug look .
I continued , Look at me , I dont control Ethan much .
Even if he finds ten or eight women outside , as long as he doesnt bring them home , I turn a blind eye .
Felix gave me a thumbs up , Sister in law , youre so understanding .
Not like Harper , acting like a shrew all the time .
Its annoying at home .
Harper shouted , Nora , get out ! I put my things down , You should be the one to leave .
This house is mine , and its the people with the surname Li who should go .
Harper rushed at me to hit me .
With old and new grudges , I slapped Harper , You useless hen who cant lay eggs , what right do you have to control Felix ? Felix , initially about to help Harper , stopped in his tracks .
