The next day, I woke up naturally.
As soon as I turned on my phone, there were over a dozen missed calls from Harry Sue.
That’s unusual.
Before I could even finish that thought, he called again.
Quinn Lynn, where the hell have you been? My dad has diarrhea!]
And my mom, how many days has it been since you bathed her?]
His voice, laced with anger, boomed, “You guaranteed me you’d take good care of them! That’s why I entrusted them to you! Is this how you repay my trust?”
“Being incompetent is one thing, but I never expected you to be so irresponsible! You’ve deeply disappointed me!”
Hearing him say that, I couldn’t help but laugh.
If I were truly irresponsible, would I have cared for his parents for three years?
Harry’s father is paralyzed, and his mother suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. You can only imagine how difficult it is to care for them!
His parents look down on me, despising me as a stay–at–home wife who leeches off their son. They’re constantly pressuring me to break up with Harry.
I disagreed, and they did everything they could to torment me.
Soiling myself three times a day was just par for the course.
I was miserable, but because of my love for Harry Sue, I silently endured it.
I wasn’t freed until I broke up with Harry Sue.
I said casually, “Why don’t you hire a caregiver? You’re about to be my ex–husband, after all.”
Harry Sue exploded as soon as he heard that. “What do you mean? You just don’t want to
take care of them?”
I said calmly, “They’re your parents, not mine. It’s your responsibility to take care of them!”
“If you don’t want to do it yourself, then hire someone! Why are you yelling at me?”
Harry Sue’s parents are notoriously difficult to deal with in the caregiver industry; finding a reliable caregiver on short notice will likely be challenging.
Perhaps understanding this, Harry Sue softened his tone. You’ve been taking care of my parents for years; you know their situation better than anyone!‘
‘We’re family; there’s no need for formalities.‘
I laughed. ‘Don’t even think about dragging me into this! You and your ex–girlfriend are the family here. Why not have her take care of them?‘
His roar came through the phone: ‘Yulia’s hands are for playing the piano, not for such menial
labor!
Quinn Lynn, what are you plotting?
So what? Am I just supposed to endure all of this?
It turns out, love and indifference are truly obvious.

Quinn Lynn, what are you plotting?
So what? Am I just supposed to endure all of this?
It turns out, love and indifference are truly obvious.
Then what about the last seven years of my life? What did they even mean?
I just feel so tired, so tired I don’t even want to breathe.
[Set a time. Let’s get a divorce.j
“If you continue to act unreasonably, don’t blame me for showing you no mercy
Harry was stunned, then burst out laughing. You think you can threaten me? Quinn Lynn,
you overestimate yourself.j
‘This is your last warning. If you cause any more trouble, I’ll make sure you leave with
nothing.J
How did I not realize before that he doesn’t understand a word I say!
I just felt annoyed: ‘Fine, you set the time. I’ll be there.
I heard glass shattering on the other end of the phone. Harry Sue was having a tantrum.
He gritted his teeth and said, ‘Fine, I’ll see you at the Civil Affairs Bureau in an hour!
Harry Sue never keeps his word, and this time was no exception.
I waited for two hours in front of the Civil Affairs Bureau, but he never showed up.
I tried calling him, but he didn’t answer.
I sighed, feeling a heavy weight in my chest.
Is this necessary? We’re breaking up, and he’s still playing games with me!
At my most agitated, Harry Sue approached me, impeccably dressed in a suit.
He smiled brightly, his eyes full of tenderness: “Wife, I’m so happy. We can finally be legally
married.”
I frowned at Harry Sue’s assistant: “What’s going on here?”
He looked embarrassed: “Madam, Mr. Sue was just in a car accident and has lost his
memory.”
What kind of stunt is this!
I ran a hand through my hair, irritated: “What a coincidence! He has a car accident right
before we break up?”
The assistant gave an awkward smile: “Madam, given Mr. Sue’s current condition….. we’re relying on you to take care of him.”
I didn’t respond and dragged Harry Sue through the gates of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
Harry Sue looked excited. “Wife, are we going to get our marriage license?”
I said expressionlessly, “We’re breaking up.”
“You agreed before you lost your memory.”
Harry Sue’s eyes instantly welled up when he heard me.
He stood frozen. “Is there something I did wrong?”
“I don’t want to break up with you!”
He gripped my hand tightly, standing motionless like a statue.

He gripped my hand tightly, standing motionless like a statue.
I grew even more irritated.
I told him coldly, “Because you cheated on me.”
His face was incredulous. “Impossible! I love you so much, how could I cheat?”

I don’t want to waste my breath on fools: ‘Hurry up and get this over with, so you can be with your little lover.”
Harry Sue cried, clutching me and refusing to let go. ‘Wife, I really don’t want to break up!
‘Even if you fall in love with someone else, I’ll still love you‘
His outburst immediately made me the center of attention.
I tried to explain, but Harry cut me off.
He pleaded: ‘Wife, please don’t break up with me! I can make money to support a mistress for you!‘
The contemptuous stares of the people around me felt like daggers, and I wanted to
disappear into the ground.
My forehead is throbbing. In my nearly thirty years, I’ve never been so humiliated!
In that instant, I didn’t care about anything; I just wanted to escape.
Harry Sue followed me out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and forced me into his car.
I finally lost control: “What exactly do you want!”
“What good does it do you to ruin my reputation!”
He completely ignored my distress, even considerately fastening my seat belt. “Wife, I had
no choice.”
“I can’t live without you, and the company can’t function without you. Don’t be childish.”
–
He handed me a set of clothes a backless lace dress.
She even pulled out makeup from her bag, intending to apply it to my face.
He shockingly declared, ‘Wife, why don’t you accompany Mr. Wyatt to wash his feet and
connect with him!‘
Without a second thought, I threw the clothes in his face.
Mr. Wyatt is a pervert. Does he think he can exploit my body to make money?
I felt a mix of anger and pathetic despair.
After seven years together, I’d have developed feelings even for a dog.
But Harry Sue? Why does he continue to degrade me!
‘I’m not your wife!‘
‘You should send your Yulia!‘
Almost without thinking, Harry Sue blurted out, ‘What if she gets taken advantage of?‘
“How could you be so cruel!”
I sneered, repeating, “Harry Sue, is pretending to have amnesia amusing to you?“”
Once I caught him, he dropped the act.
“I was just trying to give you an easy way out.”
“If you obediently entertain Mr. Wyatt, and the project goes well, you can still be my wife,

I’m not your wife!‘
‘You should send your Yulia!‘
Almost without thinking, Harry Sue blurted out, ‘What if she gets taken advantage of?”
“How could you be so cruel!”
I sneered, repeating, “”Harry Sue, is pretending to have amnesia amusing to you?“*
Once I caught him, he dropped the act.
“I was just trying to give you an easy way out.”
“If you obediently entertain Mr. Wyatt, and the project goes well, you can still be my wife, Harry Sue’s wife.”
He must have really been in a car accident; his brain is clearly damaged.
He glanced down at me condescendingly: “”That’s all you’re good for.”
“Behave yourself, and don’t disappoint me!”
He said dismissively, “”You used to drink with Mr. Li, so why can’t you entertain Mr. Wyatt
now?“”
‘You’re exactly the kind of person I thought you were!‘
I felt a chill in my heart.
Seven years, and that’s what he’s always thought of me.
My hands were shaking with anger, and I slammed the door behind me.
I finally made it home, but the frustration lingered.
Just then, 100–times Yulia showed up at my door.

She shoved her hand, flaunting the diamond ring, almost into my face: ‘Harry gave it to me!‘ ‘He’s even taking me to the Maldives for our honeymoon; the tickets are already booked!‘
I felt dazed.
When we first got married, we were very poor.
The word ‘honeymoon‘ only existed in Harry Sue’s empty promises.
But later, when he had money, he couldn’t even be bothered to make empty promises
anymore.
‘Love and indifference are obvious. He doesn’t love you, so don’t embarrass yourself by clinging to him. Break up with him as soon as possible, okay?‘
I laughed.
I don’t understand what terrible thing I did to deserve encountering this pair of lunatics.
I said coldly, ‘Then you should advise Harry Sue to break up with me sooner rather than later.”
