I closed my eyes for a moment, then left at comment below: [Do you really enjoy stargazing with someone else’s husband? Is this what your parents taught you? Best wishes, hope you two are inseparable.]
I tagged them and attached our marriage certificate directly.
Without any hesitation, I immediately notified Ethan.
“File for divorce or go for an agreement, your choice.”
After that, I blocked all contact with his family. I contacted a realtor to sell the house, and took Nathan to temporarily stay at a hotel.
At the police station, I silently showed my ID and marriage certificate.
The officer’s expression softened, and he sternly addressed Luna, “Do you know that

filing a false report wastes time and
resources?”
Luna glared at me, completely
unconcerned.
“What false report?
“It’s all her posts that made people come and attack me.
“My account got restricted, do you know how much money I’m losing?”
The female officer, who had been gently trying to mediate, couldn’t keep her smile
anymore.
“You’re being attacked because you became the mistress! Girl, you’re still young, don’t do things like this.”
“It’s because you’re not good enough! What mistress? Ethan hasn’t had feelings for her in ages. What’s wrong with him being with
me?
“Mistress? In this day and age, the unloved one is the outsider.”

I stepped forward and slapped Luna hard across the face, finally letting out my anger.
Luna got furious instantly, pulling out her phone to complain tearfully.
“Ethan, come quick! She hit me, it hurts so much. Waaa!”
Ethan finally showed up. The moment he saw me, his initial worry turned into anger. “Why are you here?”
He strode toward me and tried to grab my hand, but I shook him off.
I stared at him coldly.
After the police explained the situation, he finally understood, and his expression darkened immediately.
“Yeah,” he explained, “There’s been a misunderstanding. Chloe, you’re the
sensible one. Don’t waste police resources.”
Sensible?
I was no longer the Chloe who always stood

by him.
I wasn’t going to let this go quietly!
“Didn’t you see the text?” I glared at him coldly. “Agreement or lawsuit, pick one.” “What?”
He opened his phone and finally saw the ultimatum I had sent him.
Ethan rubbed his forehead. “Chloe, stop this, I’ll explain everything when we get home.”
“Ethan!”
Luna stepped forward, grabbing his arm and covering her face.
“She hit me!”
Ethan looked at me. “Why are you being so impulsive? I told you it’s all a misunderstanding. Apologize to Luna,
now.”
Everyone around us gave me sympathetic looks, and I could feel the color draining

from my face.
Even at this point, he wasn’t thinking of explaining things to me. He just wanted me to apologize to her.
He knew full well that I was the one truly wronged here.
Luna glanced at me sideways, full of
disdain.
The one who’s loved is always so fearless.
Ethan grew impatient.
“Hurry up and apologize!”
I stiffened, looking at his familiar yet unfamiliar face, a bitter ache rising in my
chest.
I should have realized something was wrong a long time ago.
On the anniversary this year, I happily made all the preparations, waiting with Nathan in the private room to surprise
Ethan.

However, Ethan never showed up. I finally couldn’t resist calling him.
But the call went unanswered.
I called one of his coworkers, who vaguely said he was busy.
It wasn’t until the hotel staff gently reminded us that I started eating the lavish meal that had lost all its flavor.
The first message I got from Ethan was him. blaming me for bothering his coworkers.
And then, as if it meant nothing, “We’ve been married for so long, what’s the point of celebrating? It’s unnecessary!”
He was the one who promised we would celebrate grandly every year.
It wasn’t until I scrolled through Luna’s social media that I finally understood why.
Our anniversary was actually their day of commitment.
That night, they shared a romantic

candlelight dinner, cuddling and blowing out candles together.
My heart was filled with a mix of emotions, choking me.
He had time for her but treated me like
that.
Right then, Ethan’s phone rang.
He answered.
After finishing his parents‘ call, Ethan frowned and ordered, “Why didn’t you go to my parents‘ house today? And what did you say to my mom? What’s your deal?”
“You said it yourself. They’re your parents.”
I picked up my bag, not backing down.
“It seems you didn’t hear me, Ethan. I said I want a divorce.
“I’m not joking.”
Ethan still thought I was just throwing a tantrum. He stood frozen for a moment, finally muttering, “We’ll talk about it at

“Is that still my home?
Does it even feel like home anymore?”
