My husband divided his first love into his maintenance group: I just value her ability! After the divorce, he regretted it.
In the fifth year of my marriage to Nolan, his first love returned.
He placed her on his maintenance team.
When I questioned him, he retorted, “Do you know why I chose her? Because she’s not like you, just a housewife obsessed with
romance!”
So, when he asked for a divorce for the twenty–second time, I nodded, “Let’s get divorced then.”
Nolan scoffed, “Don’t come begging me like a stray dog.”
I nodded, efficiently packed my belongings while he watched in disbelief.
“Goodbye forever.”

In the fifth year of my marriage to Nolan, he asked for a divorce for the twenty–second time.
It all began because today was our anniversary. We had planned to go out for French cuisine, and the reservation was set, but
he didn’t come home on time, so I drove to his office.
As I passed the coffee shop downstairs, I saw him standing with a girl.
The sight of her made my heart clench, and I struggled to breathe.
It was Eloise, his ex–girlfriend, with whom he had a stormy five–year relationship before they finally parted ways.
They stood at the bar, the girl in a stylish white outfit exuding a professional yet charming vibe. The man was in a suit. Their actions weren’t overtly intimate, but the love in their eyes was unmistakable.
I took out my phone and opened my chat with Nolan. My last messages were still there, unanswered.
Every time I called, he was busy, busy spending time with someone else.
I walked into the coffee shop but couldn’t bring myself to interrupt the lovely scene.
The gentle, affectionate smile on Nolan’s face was something I’d never seen directed towards me.
Every time he came home, he wore a scowl, and I thought it was work stress. Turns out, he was unhappy because I wasn’t the person he wanted to see.
After getting coffee, Nolan turned and saw me.
He was momentarily startled, then gently patted the girl’s head, said something that made her pout, and she left.
Nolan got into the car, frowning again, “What are you doing here?”
I shrugged nonchalantly, “I came to pick you up from work. Didn’t we agree to have French dinner tonight?”
“And, I remember you saying you wouldn’t let Eloise join your maintenance team.”

Nolan’s frown deepened, “Phoebe, can you stop being so unreasonable?”
“Eloise graduated from a prestigious aviation university and worked in a top maintenance team in Malaysia for years. Her professional skills are outstanding. Do you know how many teams want her?”
“As a captain, choosing responsible crew members is about passenger safety. Why do you only think about romance? Maybe you’re too bored as a housewife. If you can’t stand it, find a job as a supermarket cashier.”
He showed no restraint in his disdain.
