Growing Feelings

Author: Yue Wei Xiao Tu

I had been married to Matthew Richard for five years. In everyone's eyes, I was the perfect "Mrs. Richard". I behaved decently and did things properly. I had even been voted "Model Wife No.1" by tabloid magazines.

Everyone envied me for finding a good husband, but they didn't know what role I played in this marriage.

In the past five years, Matthew had always been cold and indifferent. For this reason, my fervent love for him had been slowly erased.

I knew, in Matthew's heart, I was ultimately not that person who could make his heart race.

I proposed to divorce and moved out.

But a week later, I was stopped at the door of my new house by Matthew.

"Divorce?" Matthew looked at me with red eyes. "Alexandria Anderson, say it again?"

Matthew's secretary Nelson Harrell sent me a message this afternoon.

[Madam, Mr. Richard has a social engagement tonight and will be home around 10:30.]

I looked at the message for a while and replied: [Okay, thank you.]
