My husband wanted a divorce without knowing I earned $500,000….

We often found it heartwarming to see families with children, but it was never more or less than that.

When Emily announced her pregnancy, John’s attitude started to change. He quit smoking, because Emily said she couldn’t stand the smell and even offered to drive her to doctor’s appointments using his vacation days.

I warned him, George might get upset if you’re always with Emily. But John argued back, you have work, don’t you? She’s our childhood friend, and she’s reaching out for help.

You’re heartless. I said, I’ve been buying things and helping where I can, but going with her to the obstetrician is crossing the line.

When I said that, John frowned, and then he glared at me. Why? Because Emily wants it, right? She says she’s anxious about the checkup. I can’t just let her go alone, if she’s anxious.

All the more reason for George to go with her, right? If you go with her every time, it’s almost like you’re the father of the baby in her belly.

John jealous? You’re not going to get pregnant anyway, so what’s the problem? He didn’t take my concerns seriously. and instead started to snap, saying I was being annoying.

We had hardly ever had a fight during our marriage, but things changed when Emily got pregnant. Our arguments increased, and that didn’t change even after Emily gave birth.

In fact, John started spending even more time with Emily and their child, Emma. But when Emma was six, an incident occurred. It had to do with the attendees of Emma’s graduation ceremonies.

The day before the graduation, John suddenly started rummaging through the closet. John, what are you doing? Have a meeting tomorrow. John’s workplace had a casual dress code, but there was a rule to wear a suit during client meetings, so we always kept a few suits ready.

But they were all thrown on the bed. Now? Ah, no, just trying to decide what to wear for the graduation ceremony. What? You’re seriously thinking of attending the graduation?

Yeah, George. can’t make it. Emily asked me, wait, that’s absurd, no matter how you look at it. I inadvertently raised my voice in denial. Immediately, John’s face turned sour.

I knew he occasionally picked Emma up from kindergarten, and I had done so myself when asked, yet it was nonsensical for a biological parent to attend a graduation ceremony.

What? You still doubt me and Emily? I’m disappointed that you can’t even help out. That’s not the point. Point anyway. I’m attending the graduation tomorrow, so iron a shirt properly.

John said that and abruptly ended the conversation, leaving me behind and going to the bedroom. I had no choice but to call Emily. Hello, Emily. About tomorrow. Ah, sorry about tomorrow.

I’m borrowing John. But won’t George be upset about the graduation attendance, Sarah? What are you talking about? Obviously, I haven’t told George that the graduation is tomorrow…
