When we got married, Generals and Admirals in the Officer's Housing fought to reserve the title of Godfather for our future child. My Captain husband wasn't in a hurry, applying for delayed family planning every year. I thought he was busy with work, temporarily no mind to welcome a child. Until I scrolled to a mom blogger's sharing post. She detailed in the post how she met, fell in love, and had a child with her current lover. But someone in the comments section analyzed something wrong, "Is the blogger a mistress? Whose serious husband doesn't get a marriage license, doesn't go public, and isn't home by 11 PM every day?" "Does the blogger know about this? Does the other party's wife know about this?" That mom unashamedly admitted her identity as a mistress, and even boasted, "So what if I'm a mistress, the one not loved is the mistress, I just missed the timing to marry him." "As for his wife, whatever General's daughter or Admiral's daughter, anyway no matter how powerful, still have to be my defeated opponent." The comments section was noisy, but I felt like falling into an ice cave. Because from those scattered words, I pieced together a terrible truth. That unsuspecting pitiful original wife, is me. Chapter 1 These days Sean Sterling has been leaving early and returning late, busy to the point of not eating properly. I know his military exercise mission is nearing the end, it's the critical time. I tidied Sean's study as usual, but saw the final draft of the operation plan on the desk. Without hesitation, I drove to his base, thinking I shouldn't miss the afternoon briefing. Bored on the road scrolling phone, scrolled to that mom blogger's post. The Paracord Bracelet on the man's wrist in the picture caught my attention. I recognized at a glance that was Sean's birthday gift last year, I handmade from raw material polishing to weaving. My heart clearly skipped a beat, I forced myself to calm down. But a few minutes after the woman admitted being a mistress, this post was immediately deleted. Guess verified, I endured trembling hands clicking into the account's homepage. Video update frequency not high, every one is little woman's muttering, and some PDA pictures: "Daughter is born, Mr. S calls her Peanut, looks like another daughter slave!" "Peanut always cries at night, I can't rest well, Mr. S heartaches me, gave me limited edition necklace." I know the owner of this account, she is Sean's Junior from the Academy, Valerie. Man's face in photos all blocked, but I already confirmed that Mr. S, is Sean who been with me for seven years. Until today, that account newly updated this one: "Third anniversary with Mr. S, want to be happy forever!" My hands couldn't stop trembling, until base gate I reacted, tears already completely blurred vision. Confront? Or pretend to know nothing, continue living muddled life? When consciousness returned, I already arrived at base family reception room. While seeing Sean, I also saw the young woman and stroller beside him. Everything in that account confirmed, impact of picture becoming real object still made me almost faint. Child in stroller looks two or three years old, cheeks chubby, wearing a small military uniform. Valerie with elegant playful makeup, exquisite to even nails trimmed neatly. Valerie blew soup cool handed to Sean's mouth, Sean face full of doting, eyes not moving a bit. Child in stroller unknown so, smilingly shouted with babbling voice: "Daddy, Mommy! Happy!" Sean obviously hasn't discovered operation plan left at home, whole person not anxious not impatient: "Valerie, why you come base today, not rest well at home." Valerie face coquettish: "Few days ago Peanut sick, you busy non-stop daily, I heartache you ah!" Turns out previous time not mission busy, was child sick. I instead heartached Sean, sat in living room till late night waiting him back daily. Valerie finished speaking sighed: "When can I be by your side openly ah, Peanut getting bigger, how to explain to her later." Sean held Valerie's hand like promising: "Hubby also let you call, all my comrades only recognize you one sister-in-law, you still not satisfied." "Now home still has many chores to handle, I not bear you work hard, Clara doing it very handy." Valerie seemed not buying this, brows frowned: "Then what about Peanut, like last time no daddy by side how can do? I don't matter, but you can't let Peanut be shameful whole life right." Raising hand I saw dazzling couple rings on two people's ring fingers, that set of rings I liked for long time. That time ordering Sean said female size not mine, but to not let me disappointed, he specially found a replacement ring. I thought he loved me, didn't expect original ring long worn on other's hand. Chapter 2 I wiped tears again and again, until eyes dry tears ran out. Valerie words ugly, Sean also irritable, he pulled military uniform collar, but still very restrained coaxing her: "Don't worry, I will give you and Peanut an explanation." "But think, Clara with me so long time, her dad before death also promoted me a lot, I can't suddenly go back divorce her right." Valerie completely threw temper, exquisite eyelashes trembling with her words. "What you mean ah, you so heartache Clara why come provoke me? Boohoo poor Peanut, your daddy heart no us!" Child small, didn't understand these words, but Valerie holding her cry, she also started sobbing, one big one small cried into tear persons. After all in military base, even family reception room can't mess around, Sean could only soften tone more, hugged this mother daughter pair: "Wifey wifey I wrong okay? Very soon okay? Very soon I let you become Mrs. Sterling okay?" I laughed, suddenly relieved. I took out phone recorded video of scene before eyes, then wiped dry tears, tore operation plan in hand into pieces, threw into trash can, turned left. On way back, phone notification rang, Valerie updated another one. This time picture is one man one woman two big hands wrapping child's fist, caption is: "Dear Mr. S, thank you for your promise, I will wear most beautiful wedding dress become your wife." Comment section of this one exploded many people, I clicked in one by one found Sean's comrades inside. "Ohohoh, Officer S and Miss Y finally lovers become family?" "I cry dead, family of three just need to be neat tidy, sister-in-law I will always support you!" "Back then timid junior sister, finally marrying dream god officer?" I looked at those comments, saying not heartache is fake. Turns out everyone knew Sean had new "wife", only me still kept in dark. Busy here there so many years, finally like I became the one breaking others family. I finished reading all comments, scrolled to bottom, in corner no one noticed someone mentioned me: "Then what about S & C?" That comment was only one not replied, nor deleted, As if mocking me, forgotten, ignored, betrayed. Once I incredibly believed Sean loved me, we two grew up in military compound, marriage alone seven years long. Me and Sean always didn't want child, he said we both young, still want contribute more to army, and I also didn't want bounded by child steps. This point I don't know say Sean considerate me, or we coincided, no matter how family urged, Sean blocked for me. Relatives friends all felt we two in love, only want two people world. And I besides busy my work, managed Sean daily life orderly, his big small matters can't leave me. Seven year itch, I knew would be cold, didn't expect welcoming would be such a big surprise. I screenshotted everything for evidence, exited Valerie homepage, Clicked open Research Institute official website apply, without hesitation participated in this international scientific research exchange project. It is also time for me to consider for myself. Chapter 3 My mentor once invited me countless times to go abroad participate exchange project, but I all refused. Reason very funny, also very simple, because exchange shortest four years, I couldn't bear throw Sean in country. Now good, everything in time. I just finished applying received success message, Sean phone called in. I think he finally discovered his operation plan not brought. I set phone to Do Not Disturb, just watched Sean called eighteen times in one breath. Seeing me delay answering, his text bombing also came: "Clara, help me check if there is file bag on my desk, inside has operation plan." "Clara why you not answer phone? Saw my message?" "Now see immediately call me back." "Clara where you go? Reply me immediately." I watched him jumping feet breaking defense on phone other end, sneered once turned off phone. Back home I cleared messy things at home, love souvenirs I once treated as treasure I packed sold to waste collector. Love letters he wrote me, military models he made me, and other miscellaneous things, total sold $17.50, bought out all our emotions. Sure enough not valuable. Finished packing I made up a good sleep, night I was woken by Sean. He home immediately came question me: "Clara where you go today! I sent you so many messages called so many phones why you ignore me?" I felt somewhat funny, he wouldn't really treat me as his orderly right, I must be on call anytime. "Body uncomfortable didn't look phone, what wrong?" I not slow not fast, Sean irritably scratched hair: "My operation plan can't find, maybe left home I wanted let you send me, but fine I explained to superior, look tomorrow." I stretched waist lazy look him: "Oh, then you come back find yourself ba." Sean seemed finally discover my emotion wrong, voice softened a bit: "What wrong Clara, is it I voice too fierce just now, sorry ma I just anxious..." I spread hands, face full indifference, anyway he calls everyone wife, who knows exactly how many wives he has. "No ah, I looked home no ba, maybe you left in your other home." Sean face panicked for a moment, I hurriedly supplemented: "After all you often go your comrade home dinner something, right." Chapter 4 I took Sean's wonderful expression all in eyes. Sean sighed relief want come hug me, just then his phone rang. Sean looked phone, no remark number, but his expression very subtle, then looked up at me. "Why not answer ah?" I pretended reasonable look. Sean raised hand touched my head, I endured nausea looking at him. "Good oh I listen to you, I go answer now." Sean followed steps down, picked phone ran to balcony start calling. Past times he avoided me answering phone, I all defaulted he military affairs phone, would leave enough space for him. But today different from past, this time I quietly hid at balcony door, heard his phone content. "Didn't I say when I home you don't contact me? I feel today she a bit suspicious." Sean voice somewhat impatient, trying suppress temper. Phone other end don't know said what, Sean sighed voice gentle down: "Good Valerie, I not that meaning, is want divorce but can't let her discover ah, can't let her have handle right." "Mm mm, I know good Valerie, I go over immediately okay? You and Peanut obedient wait me fine." I pretended nothing happened back to bed sitting, Sean walked out, sat bed side want hug me, I calmly dodged: "What wrong?" "Clara, today didn't bring operation plan, mission report postponed, superior leaders not too happy, I today want go socialize apologize, not accompany you." I look of understood, originally he at home I also not convenient pack things, hurry leave quite good. But I still want see, Valerie in his heart exactly how important. "But already very late, you haven't accompanied me for days, I miss you." I spoke against conscience, endured nausea look his reaction. Sean looked phone, heart tangled bad: "Clara, I promise you, accompany you tomorrow okay, you understand me a bit." I looked his eyes somewhat forgot his original look, current Sean makes me so strange also so disappointed. "Okay, you go." Sean like liberated quickly wore military uniform went out, I opened phone clicked into Valerie homepage, sure enough updated one: "Peanut slept early, I one sentence lonely Mr. S immediately fly back my side la, tonight use this lingerie take him down." Picture is Valerie in sexy nightdress. I turned off phone, last trace expectation for Sean also gone, I packed things well, slept early. Next morning early, I printed divorce agreement lawyer sent me signed placed on table, and all evidence I grasped all spread on table, left without looking back. When Sean saw these I already sat on plane flying abroad, and I left for Sean only remain that divorce agreement, and my message: "Sean Sterling, let's divorce."
