I slapped him hard, his head jerking to the side from the impact.
"You must have heard everything, Gloria."
"Why didn't you tell me? Did you think staying silent would keep me with you?"
No, I hadn't.
I had only regained my hearing a week ago and wanted to surprise him on our wedding anniversary.
But what awaited me instead was Alan flirting with Lucy right in front of me.
"Let's get divorced."
"Playing hard to get loses its charm after a while." Alan sneered at my words. "We both know you can't live without me. Did you think having a baby would bring me back?" Alan thought I would use the child to threaten him, didn't he?
I looked at the face I had traced with my fingertips countless times. I laughed, and as I laughed, tears started falling.
For the first time, I forcefully pushed his hand away and fled out of the house.
Apart from Tina, I had no one else to turn to. After hesitating for a long time, I finally dialed her number.
"Gloria?" Tina's voice was as loud as ever, but there was also a hint of playfulness in her tone. "Didn't expect that Alan is quite the romantic. I always suspected he wasn't trustworthy. But when I saw how good he was to you, I let it go."
