Chapter 4My Wife Despised Me, So I Divorced Her on Live Stream

With my illusions gone, everything seemed to return to normal, just an empty ache in my heart.

Back at the office that afternoon, negotiations with Mr. Sterling were still difficult.

After an unproductive session, we parted ways, and I drove home.

The lights were on at my house.

Usually, Chloe came home late.

She’d say her startup company needed her to entertain clients.

She’d say she had plans with friends, specifically emphasizing they were female.

She’d say she had her own social circle…

Pushing open the door, the strong aroma of food nearly knocked me back outside.

*Could our house really smell this good? Was this even my house?*

Then, Chloe, wearing an apron, emerged from the kitchen, carrying a pot of fragrant soup, smiling just like the first time I fell for her.

"Julian, honey, you're home! Come in, wash your hands, dinner's ready."

All this food…

I immediately spotted the takeout containers in the trash can.

Caught kissing another man at noon, and now she's putting on this act of a devoted wife tonight? Does she think I'm an idiot?

Before I could ask, she set the pot aside and dropped to her knees.

"Julian."

Tears welled in her eyes.

"I know you think I'm putting on an act, but you've really misunderstood."

*Slap.*

She slapped herself across the face again.

My heart lurched, and I instinctively reached out to stop her.

"I only found out today that Derek had feelings for me like that! I truly had no idea!"

"At lunch, after I changed, he asked me to the stairwell to the rooftop to talk. I thought it was about work, but then he confessed his feelings!"

"Of course I rejected him, but he just grabbed me and forcibly kissed me!"

My trembling heart finally died.

She was still acting.

"So, I just happened to walk in on him *forcibly* kissing you?"

"Yes! Julian, you have to believe me!"

I smiled, a cold, empty smile.

"If I don't believe you, who else can I believe? Come on, let's eat."

Chloe cried tears of joy.

"Thank you, Julian! Oh, I thought this misunderstanding would never be resolved. That scene was just so terrifying."

*Not terrified of the misunderstanding, just terrified you couldn't fool me, right?*

"What about Derek? You didn't fire him?"

"Uh, he—he's been with the company since it started. It wouldn't be appropriate to fire him suddenly. I... I'll just have him move out of my office, then slowly have others take over his work, and eventually let him go. Does that work?"

Using company management as an excuse, how clever.

"You decide."

I was growing impatient.

Chloe finally stood up, intimately linked her arm through mine, and pressed herself against my chest, rubbing provocatively, her voice dripping wet:

"Julian, honey, after dinner, do you want to do some other exercises?"

"Don't you complain that I can't perform?"

"When did I ever complain? Besides, it's been so long, maybe you're fine now? I want you, darling!"

*Want what?*

Want to find a father for Derek's child in your belly?

"Alright, you go get ready. I have some work to take care of."

With that, I shook her off, pulled out my phone, and sent a message to the live stream channel.
