After my wife's 44th affair, my father was hit in a car accident. When I found the perpetrator, my wife emerged disheveled from the passenger seat.
I stayed by my father's side at the hospital, while she accompanied the perpetrator at the police station during questioning.
When I refused to settle, she grabbed her thermos and smashed it violently against my head.
"He's a lawyer. Do you want to ruin his entire career? What's wrong with you?"
I calmly wiped the blood from my head, watching her panicked face as realization dawned.
This wasn't her first affair, but it was the most serious one.
My mind flashed back to our fifth year of marriage, when she grinned at me and said:
"Don't you get bored sleeping with just one person for the rest of your life? To be fair, I won't care what you do either."
"I give them sex, but I give you love."
Later, I did as she wished and got together with the girl she herself had introduced to me.
Yet she ended up on her knees begging me to come home.

After the Wife's 44th Affair

His words abruptly stopped as Genevieve appeared.


His face, flushed red with anger, looked as if he had suffered a great injustice on my behalf.


"Honey, how come you're out of the hospital so soon? Don't worry about the company, Fintan's helping me."


Genevieve, with a face full of tenderness, tried to come over and take my hand.


I snorted and dodged her, "What, am I not allowed to come? If I hadn't come to the office today, I wouldn't have known that Miss Frost here had already pushed me out."


She gave an awkward smile and pulled me into the office, "Fintan wants to gain experience, so just let him, okay? He's still new to this, and you're older than him, so you should guide him more."


As the office door was pushed open, I realized that everything I had originally designed had been shattered and demolished, completely remodeled.


The decorating style here was now everything I hated most, yet everything Fintan loved best.
