Chapter 1

“I didn't realize you were in a conference. You said you'd dedicate three days to me, but you've been in meetings constantly. How frustrating.”

During the company's regular online meeting, a voice from a young woman appeared on Ryan Carter's display.

She didn't seem to realize what was happening and was acting coquettishly with Ryan as if no one was around.

The colleagues who were just making noise suddenly quieted down, as if they were all waiting for my reaction - Ryan's wife.

Everyone wants to see my jokes.

This time, I remained calm. I calmly said to the colleague, "Please continue and ignore any interference."

------

There was silence all around. I calmly looked at Ryan's screen.

The soft voice of the young woman did not stop. I ignored all of this and let my colleagues continue this meeting.

In the past, I may have been angry and directly argued with Ryan, but today I have remained very calm.

For many years together, Ryan never let me touch his computer, even though I am his wife.

And this woman can operate his computer with ease. I know, their relationship must be astonishingly intimate.

Looking back on my relationship with Ryan, every time I tried to express my love, I never received a response from him. He only thinks I'm troublesome.

"Emma, you are already an adult. You've been sticking to me all this time, don't you feel annoyed."

"Emma, please don't touch my computer, this is my privacy. I hope you can understand this truth"

But now that I see everything happening on the screen, I feel like my long-standing relationship is a huge joke. Ryan called and said, "Did you see anything just now?"

I spoke calmly, 'What do you see? I'm too busy with work to attend to anything else.'

On the phone, I heard him breathe a light sigh of relief.

I deliberately asked, 'Do you have anything to do?'

He hastily gave an explanation and hung up the phone.

This is the first time I haven't argued with him.
