I couldn't resist trying a sip.

When I got home, he grabbed me by the throat.

"Stay away from her."

Suddenly, I remembered years ago,

He had warned my arranged marriage partner the same way.

Then he stole my wedding car and took me home.

"You like her that much?"

I smiled, watching Jack lose control.

Well, I'll make it happen for you then.

I thought to myself silently.

My husband's affairs came one after another,

But I never cared, pretending nothing happened,

Still acting like a loving couple in public.

Our marriage was something I had begged my dad for on my knees,

I wouldn't allow any possibility of failure.

Even if my heart was shattered, I would only cry alone under the covers.

Fortunately, Jack was just playing around outside and didn't directly threaten our marriage.

But this girl was different. When I went to bring Jack coffee, I saw a corner of divorce papers peeking out.

My movement woke him up. He took a small sip of the coffee I brought.

"Too bitter."

"No need to bring me coffee anymore."

I don't know how I left his study, only that my trembling hands betrayed my emotions.

I called someone to investigate for me.

They found that Jack often went to a coffee shop.

After his business success, his tastes became more and more picky, only drinking hand-brewed coffee.

As if trying to shed his former poor boy image,

He wouldn't even look at those cheap little shops.

But this one,

I carefully checked the photos my assistant sent me.

It was a hidden, affordable little shop in the university town.

I walked in, and a girl called out "Welcome!" with a smile.

Like a little sun,

My heart trembled,

No wonder Jack would have an affair.

"I don't know what to drink, could you recommend something for me?"

I watched the girl skillfully grind the beans and add ice.

Then she handed it to me.

"Enjoy!"

I found a seat by the window and carefully took a sip of coffee.

So sweet, the taste of artificial sweetener filled my entire mouth.
