Only After Divorce Did My Wife Regret Not Loving MeChapter 1

On our honeymoon, my wife said she wanted to prepare a surprise for me.

I waited at the top of the mountain for more than three hours. Even with heavy rain pouring down, she never showed up.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw an Instagram Story from her childhood sweetheart at a hotel halfway up the mountain.

In the photo, the two of them lie on a bed covered with rose petals, their fingers interlocked. Her ring finger was bare.

On her half-exposed chest were red scratches and faint bite marks.

The caption read, [A short absence is better than a new marriage.]

I felt sick and left a comment under the post, [You got bit by a dog, remember to get a tetanus shot.]

The moment I saw the photo, my first thought was that Kendall was heartbroken. I didn’t want this anymore.

So when she called me for the first time to explain, I only said one word. “Divorce.”

Kendall Hayes was silent for a moment. “Can you stop being so jealous? Nolan Hale and I grew up together, like brothers. What’s wrong with joking around? People with dirty minds see everything as dirty.”
