My Cheating Wife Tried to Murder Me novel Chapter 7

The negotiation between Cynthia and me broke down, but I still had things to handle.

The team leader in the company notified me that there was one more spot available and suggested I apply to join the team.

When I arrived at the company, the team leader joked with a smile, "So, did your precious wife agree to let you join the team? She'd better not come back here causing a scene again."

Once, during an expedition to an unmanned area, Cynthia had caused a commotion, criticizing everyone, claiming the leaders didn't understand the struggles between husband and wife.

I felt embarrassed and awkward, but since she was my wife, it was up to me to pamper her.

Afterward, I apologized to the team leader, who chuckled and said I was henpecked but didn't say much more.

"Think it through. This opportunity is rare. If you miss it, you might not get another chance."

"I've made up my mind."

I was firm, and there was no need to compromise because of Cynthia. My life was in my hands.

The team leader patted me on the shoulder, saying this was what professionalism looked like, not being trapped by emotions.

I forced a smile. God knew that the love I had once cherished turned out to be so ridiculous.

After filling out the application, I bought many things and went to find Sloane.

When she opened the door and saw it was me, she immediately tried to close it.

"Wait."

My hand got caught in the door. Sloane said coldly, "Don't try to play the victim with me. People with your kind of malicious intent are just like dirty shits I can't shake off."

I knew I had caused a lot of trouble for Sloane recently. She saved me but was dragged into the online abuse for no reason, and even her mother's memorial hall had been destroyed.

"I'm sorry. It's my fault." I spoke sincerely, also fearing that I might annoy Sloane.

She said she didn't blame me. She just didn't want to see me and asked me not to come by again.

"Leave now, or I'll call the police."

I wanted to leave the things I had brought, but Sloane's eyes were filled with resentment.

I had no choice but to leave first.

As I was leaving, I heard Sloane grumbling, saying it was so annoying. She thought I had come to plead for Cynthia, but no, I was genuinely here to apologize.
