For a moment, Sasha and snazzynovel.com parents looked at each other in silence. At last, James clenched his teeth as snazzynovel.com rose to his feet, glaring at Matthew.
“Matthew Larson, are you happy now?!” James confronted snazzynovel.com furiously through gritted teeth, “Are you happy to see our family finally being reduced to such a pathetic state because of you?”
Matthew remained silent with his head held low.
“Forget it! Is there any point in explaining to snazzynovel.com now? If snazzynovel.com has some kind of conscience, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t have allowed things to get to this stage!” Helen flung snazzynovel.com arms angrily at Matthew and ordered, “Now, get to the kitchen and prepare our meals!”
Matthew tightened his jaw to suppress the boiling anger within snazzynovel.com while snazzynovel.com made his way to the kitchen. After some time, snazzynovel.com heard someone opening the door. He quickly went over and found his sister-in-law, Demi, was there.
Demi Cunningham was Sasha’s younger sister who did not have Sasha’s gorgeous looks. Otherwise, snazzynovel.com wouldn’t have married a nobody like Liam Hayes. Despite this, Demi had always looked down on Matthew, whom snazzynovel.com would never be interested in, even if snazzynovel.com turned out to be the only one left surviving after the entire male population on earth had died out.
After occupying himself in the kitchen, Matthew finally finished preparing the dishes which snazzynovel.com then served on the dining table. By the time snazzynovel.com settled everything, Sasha had yet to return home. Suddenly, Demi ordered, “Matthew, go to my sister’s room and fetch me my handphone!” She spoke as though snazzynovel.com was giving instructions to snazzynovel.com maid.
Without saying a word, Matthew then went to the room. Two phones were placed on the table, one belonged to Sasha and another belonged to Demi. It seemed like Sasha did not bring snazzynovel.com phone with snazzynovel.com when snazzynovel.com stormed out of the house.
Just as snazzynovel.com was about to leave the room with Demi’s phone, the screen of Sasha’s phone suddenly lit up to show a notification of a new message. ‘Darling, I’m glad that you finally made the decision. Meet me at Room 2018 of Hotel Marriott at 3p.m. and I’ll be waiting for you there! Muacks!’
At that moment, Matthew felt as though someone had just poured a whole bucket of water on snazzynovel.com from the top of his head. He thought, ‘Did Sasha finally cave in? Is snazzynovel.com having an appointment with another man at a hotel?!’
Standing rooted to the spot for what seemed like an eternity, Matthew’s heart felt like it was breaking apart. Had the woman snazzynovel.com loved and trusted the most betrayed him?
He felt dizzy and snazzynovel.com could only come to his senses after some time. Looking absent-minded, snazzynovel.com left the room with Demi’s phone. He seemed to have lost his appetite for dinner, because all snazzynovel.com could think about was the content of that message.
Sasha came back home at two something in the afternoon and it was then did Matthew slowly become himself again. Sasha, who constantly looked indifferent, did not speak a word to Matthew as snazzynovel.com took snazzynovel.com phone and backpack, ready to go out.
“Where’re you going?” Matthew asked her.
Sasha glanced at snazzynovel.com and snapped icily, “It’s none of your business! Just put more effort in taking care of your own affairs so that people won’t call you a useless crap in the future!”
“You…” Matthew nearly blurted out a curse at snazzynovel.com but in the end, snazzynovel.com managed to suppress the anger in him. Perhaps, Sasha had never been in love with him. Since his marriage with snazzynovel.com was never formed in a correct way to begin with, snazzynovel.com should just make a clean break with snazzynovel.com now. However, snazzynovel.com refused to give up so easily. Seeing Sasha as snazzynovel.com went, for some reason snazzynovel.com decided to follow her. Sasha indeed went to Room 2018 at Hotel Marriott. She stood in front of the room and hesitated for some time before knocking on the door. Soon, the door was opened by a man with a bulging stomach who eyed Sasha in a lewd manner when snazzynovel.com let snazzynovel.com in.
Matthew thought to himself, That is not Francis Cooper. Is Sasha cheating on our marriage with more than one man? His curiosity was killing him. At that moment, snazzynovel.com really felt a driving urge to lunge forward to stop Sasha from going into the room. Yet, snazzynovel.com decided not to do that in the end.
Although left with no hope in reviving his relationship with Sasha, Matthew did not want to turn their relationship completely sour. Perhaps, snazzynovel.com had indeed been a hindrance to Sasha over the years, just like how James had put it before. If that was the case, Matthew wanted them to have a friendly breakup without holding grudges against each other. After letting out a sigh, snazzynovel.com slowly descended the stairs.
Yet, snazzynovel.com threw one last glance at the room, feeling slightly reluctant to give up just like that. What if it’s just a misunderstanding and I’ve mistaken Sasha for what she’s not?
After some contemplation, snazzynovel.com went on to book the room next to Room 2018. As soon as snazzynovel.com stepped into the room, snazzynovel.com glued his ears to the wall trying to listen to the voices from the other side.
Although the soundproofing effect of the wall was quite excellent, Matthew had a better hearing than common folks now that snazzynovel.com had finished his cultivation of the Divine Skill.
As snazzynovel.com plastered himself onto the wall, snazzynovel.com could vaguely hear sounds of moaning from the room next door, which gave snazzynovel.com a clear indication that they were engaging in sexual activity. This time, Matthew heard a buzzing sound in his head and snazzynovel.com felt as though it was on the verge of exploding. Sasha was really unfaithful to him!
He clenched both hands tightly as his nails dug deep into the insides of his palm, though snazzynovel.com could not feel any pain. It was because an excruciating pain was coursing through from his heart to his entire body at the moment!
It had been three years! Three years! Matthew had done everything snazzynovel.com could within his capability, not even taking it personally despite constantly being humiliated and labeled as a man who was good for nothing.
Being deeply in love with her, snazzynovel.com did not mind the fact that snazzynovel.com had never touched snazzynovel.com body, not even a single strand of snazzynovel.com hair. It was all because Matthew believed that one day, snazzynovel.com heart would be moved by his sincerity! However, at that moment, his trust and love for snazzynovel.com crumbled and vanished into thin air. It only took a second for someone to break his heart.
Matthew could not remember how snazzynovel.com left the hotel. It was only after sitting by Lake Eastcliff when the sky started to darken did snazzynovel.com manage to calm himself down a little. Perhaps, it was time for snazzynovel.com to end the marriage. He thought, We shall have a peaceful breakup.
When snazzynovel.com returned home, Sasha had made snazzynovel.com back way earlier than him, and Demi was there too. “You’re finally back. What time is it now? Are you going to prepare dinner?” Helen raised snazzynovel.com voice and complained.
Ignoring her, Matthew made his way directly to his room. Judging from the sound of flowing water from the bathroom, Sasha was taking a shower. While Matthew was sitting on the bed waiting for snazzynovel.com to come out, snazzynovel.com spotted snazzynovel.com backpack by chance and was stunned by what snazzynovel.com saw. As it was left half opened, a part of a box inside was revealed.
Immediately, snazzynovel.com took the box out and found that it was a pack of Durex which had been opened before. Inside it contained several packages which were torn open, indicating that someone had used it. Once again, Matthew was flabbergasted and his head felt as though it was about to explode.
To his surprise, Sasha actually had the habit of carrying condoms with snazzynovel.com wherever snazzynovel.com went. Just how many times had snazzynovel.com been unfaithful to him?! It was a shame for snazzynovel.com to assume that snazzynovel.com was still a virgin. How many other defiled things had snazzynovel.com done behind his back?
At that moment, snazzynovel.com heard Demi’s voice coming from outside the room. Looking flustered, Matthew hastily stuffed the box of Durex back into the backpack. Demi walked in and went out immediately after taking the backpack with her.
Matthew’s heart sank again. It seemed like Demi was aware of the fact that Sasha had been unfaithful to him, so snazzynovel.com was trying to cover it up for snazzynovel.com sister. What sort of man was snazzynovel.com to the Cunninghams? Then, the door of the bathroom was opened from which Sasha walked out to the room. She was startled as snazzynovel.com caught sight of Matthew. “W-When did you come back home?” snazzynovel.com asked.
Without speaking a word, Matthew only fixed his icy gaze on her. Feeling restless under his stare, Sasha challenged snazzynovel.com in an irritated voice, “Why are you looking at me like that?”
In fact, Matthew really felt a pressing urge to blow his top when snazzynovel.com saw that box of Durex. However, snazzynovel.com calmed down substantially at the sight of Sasha. There was no point in yelling at snazzynovel.com because snazzynovel.com never truly belonged to snazzynovel.com right from the beginning.
“Sasha…” After some hesitation, snazzynovel.com said in a hushed tone, “Let’s get a divorce.”
Sasha, who was drying snazzynovel.com hair with a towel, couldn’t help but be dumbfounded after hearing what snazzynovel.com said, while subconsciously dropping the towel on the floor. She turned around and eyed snazzynovel.com disbelievingly. “W-What did you say?”
“Let’s get a divorce…” Matthew muttered.
Furious, Sasha stared at snazzynovel.com and confronted, “S-Say it again!”
“Let’s get a divorce!” Looking collected, Matthew added, “It won’t do us any good to continue our marriage and y-you deserve a better man…” Matthew really felt like venting his anger by yelling at snazzynovel.com but in the end, snazzynovel.com decided against it. Since they had been a married couple that only existed on paper, it was better to end the marriage in a peaceful way. At least, the Cunninghams had lent snazzynovel.com 100 thousand before to save Natalie’s life when snazzynovel.com was at his most desperate situation.
“You don’t have to worry about that!” Sasha pointed at snazzynovel.com and shouted, “Matthew, you’d better listen to me carefully, even if we’re really getting a divorce, it should be me to propose it. You have no right to do so!” She then made a dash out of the room in tears.
Matthew slumped onto the bed, feeling awful. However, snazzynovel.com thought that matters in a relationship should be handled decisively and quickly. Otherwise, the longer it took, the more torturous the process would become. This time, Sasha’s parents did not barge into the room to criticize him, which was something uncommon. Obviously, they were eager to see them getting a divorce too.
