Chapter 2 — Honeymoon Leaves Only Divorce

"Fortunately, thanks to the photos you sent me, it was enough evidence to prove that Bui Tinh Nghieu had an affair during the marriage. It's your business if you want to climb into a man's bed, but I advise you not to come and make me nauseous."

“If not, one day I want to sit down and clearly calculate this debt, you won't be able to bear the consequences.”

“And remember well: What you stole is only my sorrow, not my man.”

Vu Tinh was stunned. His face of jealousy and panic distorted. There was no longer even a trace of the arrogance of the triumphant little man from before. After cursing Vu Tinh, my mood suddenly became extremely refreshing. As a result, as soon as I turned around, I saw Bui Tinh Nghieu standing outside the door with red eyes... Since the meeting at the hospital, Bui Tinh Nghieu continuously tried to contact me, but I didn't give him a chance to explain. Being harassed on the phone so much, I got annoyed and blocked his number. Being alone makes you depressed. I arbitrarily bought a plane ticket, going to a small, anonymous city. Since 8 years ago when I started loving Bui Tinh Nghieu, I lost the right to live for myself. For all the reasons from Bui Tinh Nghieu's mouth, he cannot marry me. But I soon forced me to live the life of a housewife. Cooking delicious food and taking good care of them brings emotional value. A good wife can only share in hardships. Friends in Bui Tinh Nghieu's circle all say that he has a virtuous wife. But they don't respect me much. I once heard Bui Tinh Nghieu's friends feel sorry for him.

"What a pity, brother Bui is still young and has to live a bland life."

“A good wife is really kind, but boring.”

“Every day I only know what to eat, what to wear, nothing new, don't you mind?”

"Or let me introduce you to a more interesting girl. I recently interviewed a secretary, extremely hot, a hundred times more beautiful than Lam Tieu. How about it? Can I have it for you?"

I didn't hear Bui Tinh Nghieu's answer clearly. But since that time, next to him appeared a secretary named Vu. After finding a place to live, I began to calm down to think about what happened in the past few years. Many small details that I once ignored now come to mind one after another. This relationship was only sincere in the first few years. Maybe even I don't realize it. In fact, it has degenerated a long time ago. From the moment I lost myself, with only Bui Tinh Nghieu in my eyes, I fell into a weak position, willingly sinking into the abyss. This type of distorted coexistence model cannot last long. Thinking for a while, I fell asleep. But this sleep, why can't sleep peacefully. I had a lot of strange, chaotic dreams. There was a scene of laughing loudly with friends at the age of 10. There was resentment when my father brought my stepmother home at the age of 12... I understood that I no longer had a home. There was an initial thrill when I met Bui Tinh Nghieu at the age of 19. There is the fatigue of having to work three jobs a day to support Bui Tinh Nghieu starting his business at the age of 20. There was radiant happiness at the wedding with Bui Tinh Nghieu at the age of 26. And also... A series of shrill phone rings woke me up from my dream, I waved my hand in frustration Take the phone from the nightstand. Some are strangely short. I pressed to listen, and on the other end of the line came a polite asking voice: "Excuse me, is this Mrs. Bui?"

"I am a nurse at People's Hospital No. 2. The story is this, last time you and your husband went for a routine check-up, the scan results showed that his stomach had a shadow. To be safe, we advised Mr. Bui to go to the hospital for a series of more detailed checks."

The nurse's voice is very soothing.
