The Show is Starting Soon “That’s nonsense.
You’ve be pretty sensitive, you little devil,” Matthew teased while yfully patting my butt.
711 pamper my lovely wife tonight.” I smiled and nestled into his arms, saying, “I’m hungry and feeling
under the weather.
How could you do that to me?” He scrutinized me.
“Are you genuinely not feeling well? Why didn’t you bring Ava back with you?” “You wouldn’t believe it.
Ava’s having a st with my parents and doesn’t want to leave.
She didn’t even nce at me when I left.
Our neighbors have several kids, and she’s obsessed with hanging out with them, so I let her stay
there for a while.” I had another reason for leaving Ava at my mom’s ce–it freed me from
distractions.
“We’ll do as you say.
Take a break while I prepare dinner,” Matthewforted and hugged me before heading to the kitchen.
Shortly after, I went to the bedroom, changed the sheets, and tossed them into the washing machine.
The thought of tainted sheets made me queasy.

Matthew came to call me for dinner and was o confused d when he realized I had changed the sheets.
When he asked why, I said, “Just for a change of vibes.” His phone rang before we started eating.
I saw ‘Laurie‘ on the screen and wondered if it was Lauren Burton.
I asked while eating.
“Who’s that?” Matthew nced at me and casually replied, “It’s just a client.
She’s the one who wanted an advance for her project.
Thepany she works for is still interested in coborating with us.” I couldn’t help but admire his
effortless attempts at making up stories these days.
I *1-4 need to step out for a bit.
I don’t want to miss this opportunity to participate in such a huge project.” He looked at me
apologetically.
“I’ll return soon to spend more time with you.” Try not to be toote.
I’ve been unwell these past few days and will go to bed early.
You better not interrupt my sleep,” I cautioned Matthew, appearing understanding of his situation.
Matthew responded with a smile as if he’d received a pardon.
“All right! I won’t interrupt your sleep.
honey.
Il be off now.” Fourwed him inwardly as he hurried to change his clothes and even checked himself in
the mirror, I ve been blind not to see this side of him back then.
Still, he didn’t forget to kiss me before leaving to +15 BONUS Our marriage felt like a slow death to me.
However, I seemed numb, and the food I chewed made me sick.
When he left, I called Ivanna and updated her on Matthew’s activities.
Then, I called Johnson and asked him to meet up.
Johnson informed me that Matthew had been busy preparing financial documentation for verification to
deal with ATL Empire.
Additionally, Matthew had signed a significant project through apany registered under Mnie’s
name, wholly unrted to Tanum Corporation.
No matter how forgiving I could be, I couldn’t tolerate Matthew’s tant deception.
Later, I instructed Johnson on what to do next.
Johnson seemed much more obedient to mymands these days.
Afterward, I went to see Ivanna, and she proudly presented evidence of Matthew’s frequent contact
with Lauren.
That exined why he hadn’t called me when I was away.
It seemed he was pretty upied with Lauren and Mnie.
I was shocked when I looked through their WhatsApp conversation.
I couldn’t believe how unfaithful my once–perfect husband was 1 My mind was a mess as I headed
home.
At that moment, I was only Matthew’s wife by name.
After all, he could so easily rece me.
At eight at night, the GPS tracker showed that he and Lauren had checked into a hotel.
My heart ached as Iy alone on the cold bed, reminiscing about our past.
I thought love had lost its meaning long ago.
Feeling helpless and desperate, I instructed Ivanna to reveal the information to Mnie.
Then, I hung up and waited for the show to begin.
