I still remember the day I discovered his infidelity.

He came back drunk, holding me and leaning on me, suddenly saying something in a daze.

"Bella, why have you become shorter?"

I thought he was a bit funny at the time. I've always been 1.65 meters tall; how could anyone suddenly become shorter?

Later, I checked his phone and realized that Bella, the one he kept, was 1.74 meters tall, tall and sexy, completely different from me.

And the name he mentioned, was it my name, Mia, or her name, Bella?

...

I can't remember many details of that day.

Only remember the brain buzzing instantly, the world dark.

Julian knelt in front of me, crying bitterly, saying he was momentarily attracted by novelty and made a mistake.

Three years of dating, three years of marriage, giving up returning home, only to end up with such an outcome.

I was unwilling, refused to let each other go just like that.

So, we tacitly chose to maintain the marriage.

But rotting love, roses with insect eggs, reluctant to throw away, yet disgusting.

In his repeated betrayals, we argued and resented each other repeatedly until we were exhausted and disheartened.

Like a blunt knife cutting flesh, slowly wearing away the last bit of love.

So when the long-lost system woke up from dormancy and talked to me.

I responded immediately.

"System, I regret it. I want to go home."
