Chapter 3
I hung up the phone and calmly shut down the computer.
“It’s nothing, I talked to Anika about the divorce.‘
Edwin’s expression changed, and he almost immediately rushed towards me.
“What divorce? You want to divorce me?”.
I took two steps back and replied nonchalantly, “No, it’s just a case. Anika wanted to consult me for advice,”
Edwin finally breathed a sigh of relief and handed me the paper bag
“For you.”
The pattern on the paper bag was my favorite cake shop.
Before we got married, whenever Edwin made me angry, he would go to this shop and buy me a cake.
This shop was very popular, and every time I went to buy something, I had to wait in line for two hours.
In order to please me, Edwin would personally go and queue up, no matter if it was windy or rainy, as long as I said I wanted to eat.
Sometimes I felt sorry for him and asked him to hire someone to buy it.
Edwin, however, said, “Ashlee, It’s okay. For you, I was willing.”
With this thought, my heart warmed up and I couldn’t help but smile as I took the paper bag and opened it.
“I didn’t expect you to remember… What is this?
I looked at Edwin in shock, a wave of bad premonition rising in my heart.
The paper bag contained not the cake I thought, but two pieces of clothing with a hint of alcohol.
One was Edwin’s suit jacket, and the other was the dress Lena wore tonight,
Faced with my questioning, Edwin was rarely a little embarrassed.
“Lena’s clothes got dirty, and I thought since you’re already used to doing housework, washing one piece or two pieces doesn’t make a difference. So I just brought them all back!
After saying that, he thought of something else and became more confident
“Anyway, I can just use another Forgiveness Pass, since I still have so many of them, so you don’t have to be so petty.”
