Strong Evidence
Mnie didn’t stay long after dinner. She pouted at Matthew and asked, “Matt, can you give me a
ride?”
I rolled my eyes at her and nced her way, but she feigned ignorance as she clung to Matthew’s arm,
acting like a spoiled brat.
Matthew looked at me with a helpless smile, but since I didn’t respond, he awkwardly said, “Wait a
while. I’ll help Chloe with the dishes and then take you out.”
I was honestly sick of Mnie’s behavior and didn’t want to see her for another minute, so I waved
Matthew away. “You go ahead and take her where she wants to go. I can handle the dishes myself.”
“Daddy, where are you going? I want to go too!” Ava called out, standing up from her chair as she
extended her little hands for Matthew to pick her up.

Matthew lifted Ava and pecked her cheek, saying, “Daddy will be home soon! Be good and y with
Mommy, okay?”
“What’s the point of youing along, kid?” Mnie questioned. She had no patience for Ava.
I took Ava from Matthew. “Sweetheart, Daddy is sending your aunt off and will be home soon. Can you
stay here with Mommy?”
Ava looked at me with her big, watery eyes before nodding. Then she hugged my neck and turned to
look at Matthew. “Okay! Come home quickly, Daddy!”
Matthew leaned in to kiss Ava again and nodded. “Okay!”
He then took the car keys and left to drop Mnie off.
Mnie held onto her brother’s arm, ncing back at me with a smug and mysterious smile, but I
couldn’t be bothered.
Matthew returnedte that night, but I didn’t ask much. Since he was a dutiful son, I assumed he
chatted with his parents beforeing home.
He woke up early the following day and said he had an important meeting at nine in the morning. He
also took Ava with him and dropped her off at kindergarten to save me the trouble.
Matthew was always considerate about every detail, leaving me nothing toin about. It was just
as Ivanna said. He had spoiled me so much that I grew ustomed to it. He was the ideal husband,
even to others.
I looked at the clothes he had changed out of and tidied them up since theundry was piling up. I
checked the pockets before taking them downstairs to send them off to the dry cleaner. Still, I didn’t
expect to find something in one of the pockets.
I was shocked and horrified by what I held. It provided undeniable evidence for all my doubts and
worries. It was a packaged condom.
After giving birth to Ava, I had an IUD inserted, so we had no reason to have such a thing. I threw the
disgusting thing away, and my heart shattered. I knew he was cheating on me! After years of hard work
and struggles, he betrayed my trust.
Just as we finally enjoyed some good days, he dared to lie to me. I felt helpless as I knelt on the floor
and held my head. Images of him and another woman swirled in my mind, adding to my heartache.
I had given him all my youth and love. I had given everything to him and this family, yet he treated me
like dirt. After my initial shock, I mumbled to myself repeatedly, “Chloe, calm down. You can’t afford to
lose everything you’ve worked so hard for.”
I needed to give myself a clear and definitive answer. Once I recollected my emotions, I clenched my
fists and told myself not to give up. After taking a deep breath, I washed up and took a cab to the
company building.
