Chapter 4
“I want him to leave with nothing.”
Even I was surprised when those words came out of my mouth.]
Oliver looked up at me, his eyes probing: “You sure about that?”
I nodded.
He suddenly smiled: “You’re taking this pretty well.”
I set down my coffee cup and looked at him.]
“It’s not about taking it well. I’m just done making myself miserable.”
“Three years of marriage, and I had to sneak around buying a dildo just to spare his ego.”
Looking back, it’s fucking ridiculous.”
Looking
Oliver’s expression got a little weird: “A dildo?“]]
I said matter–of–factly. “I’m a normal woman with normal needs. Is that weird?”
Oliver coughed and changed the subject: “I agree with you.”
I blinked: “Huh?”
He repeated: “My brother wronged you. He deserves to leave with nothing.
I suddenly felt my nose sting.]
So there really was someone who understood my anger and frustration
And this person actually was my husband’s older brother.
That made it even more depressing.
“Honey, you’re moving out?“]
Milo watched me pack, panic creeping into his voice.
I didn’t look up: “What else? Stick around to watch you two lovebirds?”
1…” He hesitated
“Maybe… maybe I should move out instead?”
I smiled sweetly. “Don’t bother. This place disgusts me now, just like you do.“1
He was quiet for a moment: “I’m sorry—1
I rolled my eyes: “If you’re really sorry, just sign the divorce papers
Milo’s face changed: “Don’t push it
I raised an eyebrow: Tm pushing it? Fine, see you in court then.
He stormed out and slammed the door
1 kept packing. When I got to the nightstand, I found a stack of receipts and shopping slips
Not a bad habet, actually – keeping every receipt

Chapter 4
I flipped through them casually and instantly went into shock.[]
Louis Vuitton bags? Hermès scarves? Cartier bracelets?
None of this stuff was cheap.
Looking at the dates more carefully – all from the past three years of our marriage.]]
I burst out laughing.[]
This idiot had kept evidence of every gift he bought Gina.]
“Thanks, honey,” I said to myself, grinning.
“This is your last gift to me.‘
I pulled out my phone and photographed every single receipt, then sent them to Oliver.[]
Oliver texted back quickly: [He’s digging his own grave.][]
–
Me: [Yeah, such a thoughtful husband even collect all his affair evidence for me.]]
Oliver: [You packing up?]
Me: [Yep, moving out.]]
Oliver: [I’m downstairs waiting for you.]]
I was surprised and looked out the window. Sure enough, Oliver’s car was parked below.[]
When did he get here?
After finishing packing, I went downstairs to find Oliver leaning against his car smoking.
“How’d you get here so fast?” I was surprised.
He stubbed out his cigarette: “Thought you might need help moving.”
I didn’t know what to say, so I changed the subject: “Did you see those receipts?”
He took my suitcase.
“He spent a fortune on Gina these past three years.“]
“Yeah.” I laughed bitterly.
“No wonder he said he couldn’t afford to buy me a dildo he was too busy buying luxury shit for someone else.”
Oliver coughed again: “Could you stop bringing up the dildo thing?“]
“Why? It’s totally normal.” I blinked innocently.[]
Oliver went quiet, but his ears turned a little red.]
I suddenly realized what was happening and laughed even harder: “Oh my god, Oliver, are you blushing?”
“Get in the car.” His voice was cold.]
I suppressed my laughter and slid into the passenger seat. After buckling my seatbelt, I asked: “Where to?”
“Hotel” He started the engine.]
“I booked you a room.“[]
