"Seeing that useless fool, Patrick, floundering in the water like that—did it make you feel any better?"
A few words from Janet and Samuel sent chills down my spine.
Even colder than when I had sunk into the water, losing consciousness.
So, everything today was just to make her boss a little happier?
No wonder she lowered herself to call me today, saying.
"Patrick, today is our seventh wedding anniversary. I'll give you ten minutes to get to my workplace so we can go on a date."
Her tone was still harsh, but there were hints of softness.
I thought she had changed, but it was just to deceive me and please her beloved boss?!
Samuel nodded in satisfaction, a malicious smile gleaming in his eyes.
"Janet, you know, I was just too jealous back then. If it weren't for that…how could someone like Patrick ever be worthy of marrying you?"
At the mention of my name, a look of disgust and disdain flashed across Janet's face, and she mercilessly belittled me.
"Ugh! Don't mention him. He's just a worthless fool! I've been married to him for seven years, and when I told him that past events had left me traumatized and I didn't want to…you know…he actually believed me!"
