Back from the orphanage, I went to the walk–in closet to pack. I realized
how few clothes I owned only the few outfits Judith bought me when I
married Caleb. My husband of four years had never bought me a single garment.
After packing my clothes, I put all the gifts I’d given Caleb over the years
together and called the recycling center. I sent him a nice present every year for
his birthday, but he’d never even glanced at them. They were covered in dust.
As the recycling truck left, a Maybach pulled up behind me. It was Caleb’s
younger sister, Chloe. She, wearing a red dress, snorted at the departing
truck.“Huh, selling cardboard boxes? Typical small–town girl.”
Ignoring her, I turned to leave. Chloe stopped me. “Hey!”
I’d always been subservient to the Hayes family, so my indifference enraged
her.“Are you deaf? I’m talking to you!”
I shook her hand off, a flicker of irritation in my eyes. Chloe hated me,
because she didn’t think I deserved Caleb. I’d put up with her for four years, but
since I was free, I wasn’t going to tolerate her anymore.
Chloe was about to continue when she saw something and smirked.“You
know what? I feel really sorry for you, cardboard box girl. Caleb’s first love is
back, and he will definitely kick you out.”

A woman in a white dress came to us. This was my first time seeing Olivia.
She had captivating eyes, long black hair, and porcelain skin. Even in a simple
white dress, she looked elegant and noble. Four years of a broken marriage hadn’t
left a mark on her. No wonder Caleb loved her so much.
Olivia pulled Chloe’s arm, gently saying, “Chloe, don’t say that. She’s your
sister–in–law.”
“Sister–in–law? Olivia, I told you in the car! You’re the only love Caleb loves and he went overseas every week to see you. Those gifts were from him.
Don’t you see what this means?” Chloe then ordered me, “What are you waiting
for? Take Olivia’s luggage inside! Caleb agreed to let her stay here.”
I ignored them and went inside. Chloe stomped her foot. The driver brought in the luggage. Just as Chloe was about to yell, Caleb hurried in. Seeing Olivia sitting on the sofa, he breathed a sigh of relief
“Olivia’s house needs renovation, so she’ll be staying here for a few days,” he
said to me.
I said nothing. Olivia stood up, uneasy.“Caleb, maybe I should leave. This is
your place and you’re married. Sarah seems unhappy…”
Caleb stopped her. “It’s okay. Sarah is a good girl. She won’t mind.”
Watching them, I smiled. “He’s right. Olivia, make yourself at home.” This
house would eventually belong to Olivia anyway.
