My Cheating Wife Tried to Murder Me novel Chapter 6

Before going inside, I posted bail for Cynthia. She leaned in gratefully to kiss me, but I dodged instinctively.

"My husband is still the best!"

It didn't matter if there was any truth to her words.

I didn't save her because I intended to protect her anymore. I wasn't going to deal with her any longer. After all, I didn't have the kind of fetish for being a man who was cheated.

My tone was icy. "Sign it. The lawyer just finished drafting it." I only got her out so we could finalize the divorce.

Cynthia felt something was wrong. Her expression changed instantly, and she pointed at me.

"Wayne, how dare you? Do you want to divorce me? You were the one who begged and pleaded to marry me! Now you get to call the shots on when we marry and when we divorce?"

Cynthia still acted arrogantly.

But in those few seconds before my life almost ended, I was thoroughly disappointed in her!

She didn't love me. Taking photos was more important than my life. So, if that was the case, then there was the end of our marriage.

Over the years, to accommodate Cynthia, I passed up on many opportunities at work. I had a chance to join a research team in Antarctica, but Cynthia said she couldn't bear being apart for that long.

I gave up that opportunity and dedicated myself fully to our little family.

But I didn't know when it started. Cynthia began resisting intimacy with me. Every time we got close, she'd make up excuses to stop.

She would say her stomach hurt, or she would suddenly feel sleepy. But then she would stay up late at night, chatting cheerfully with Carsen on her phone.

We argued countless times over this. Cynthia called me petty for being so hung up on something so trivial, saying I lacked any sense of generosity.

Well, now I finally had some.

But Cynthia didn't want a divorce.

"Don't you really care about me anymore?" Cynthia's voice trembled. "Wayne, how could you be so heartless? I... I apologized to you. I swear I didn't know you were in that car accident."

She was only temporarily bowing her head. In the past, I would have been thrilled.

But not this time.

"We're not just getting divorced, but you're leaving with nothing."

"Have you signed the agreement? Don't try any tricks, Cynthia. If you refuse to sign, I can file for divorce."

Cynthia suddenly flipped out. She grabbed the divorce papers and tore them up right in front of me.

Last night, she cried and begged me to forgive her, saying she just made a mistake that all women did.

I just wanted to laugh at it.

Today, for some reason, Cynthia declared she wouldn't sign. She had this look like she intended to cling to me.

"I'm giving you and Carsen my blessing. Why can't we just part on good terms?"

"Your idea of 'parting on good terms' is leaving me with nothing, isn't it?"

Cynthia's eyes reddened. She asked why I was being so cruel to her. She had already lowered her head and admitted her wrongs.

Why did I still have to go to such extremes?

"Why? Because you and Carsen crossed the line. You cheated, Cynthia! How dare you ask me why?"
