This man, he’s just too disgusting, too heartless.
After Astor drove away, Chloe hummed a song as she went upstairs.
I took a moment to calm down, put on some lipstick, and then got out of the car.
I knocked on the door.
Chloe opened it with a smile, muttering, “You didn’t forget something again, did you?”
When she saw me, her last words slowed down.
I looked at Chloe coldly. I thought she might be scared, might feel guilty, but no. She just looked at me with a gentle and malicious smile. “So, it’s you, Astor’s ugly and worthless wife.
“Since you found me here, why don’t you come in?”
Chloe stepped aside, inviting me in.
She looked like the host of the house. I felt like I was the one who shouldn’t be here.
I felt angry and numb.
I walked into the house. I used to think it was my happiest home with Astor, and then I saw the signs of their life

They used the couple’s slippers, the couple’s pajamas, and even the couple’s heart–shaped toothbrushes.
Chloe didn’t follow me. She even felt no need to humiliate me. She just stood there, playing with the bouquet Astor gave her, lazily saying, “Actually, there’s no need to come. The moment. you decided to forgive him, you should have known that in his heart, you were already someone without principles.
“In his eyes, as long as he didn’t divorce you, you would forgive him and accept him unconditionally.
“Believe it or not, even if you go to tell him you know our affair, he will just casually apologize to you and ask for your forgiveness.
“And you’ll forgive him, won’t you? You can’t live without him. After all, at your age, how could you find a rich husband again?
“I know you look down on me, but we’re actually the same.”
Same? I felt extremely furious and wanted to kill her.
I knew Astor when we were so young. I worked hard, day and night, to support him when he started the business. Yes, he did well, but his success was inseparable from my support.
How could Chloe think she was the same as me?
But she was so confident to tell me all these things, so I knew it was actually Astor’s thoughts.
Maybe I was wrong from the beginning. I forgave Astor because I loved him.
But in Astor’s eyes, I forgave him for my own interest.
Chapter 4
Our relationship lasted over a decade. But as Astor got higher social status, he began to think this relationship was
unbearable and toxic.
I walked straight past Chloe, into the living room, and saw a huge wedding photo hanging on the wall.
In the wedding photo, Chloe was wearing a diamond–studded wedding dress, held in Astor’s arms, with the famous Aegean Sea in the background.
It was luxurious.
I thought my heart was dead. But seeing this photo, my heart couldn’t help but ache again, as if my throat was stuck. It made me feel dizzy.
There used to be my wedding photo with Astor.
Unlike the luxury of their photo, we were poor back then. Even the cheapest wedding photos were out of reach.
We just found a beach, a white dress, a veil, and a camera. And that was our wedding photo.
I tried to calm myself down. I took out my phone and snapped a picture of their wedding photo.
I finally understood one thing just now.
Some trash people should stay in the trash can.
Astor and Chloe lived together for a long time, so thev al formed a common–law marriage.
