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.

The blood wouldn’t stop flowing. Genevieve frantically pulled out some tissues and rushed over to me. She dabbed at the wound, frowning as she spoke: “Why didn’t you dodge? Does it hurt?”
“I didn’t mean to, I just panicked! Fintan is still young, he’s talented. I just hate to see talent wasted. Be reasonable, let’s just drop this, okay?“I wave away her hand, my gaze resolute. “That’s my dad!”
“Oh, come on. Your dad just loves money. If you really care about him, you’ll take the cash and put an end to this.”
My face darkens, and I’m about to speak when her phone suddenly rings. “Miss Frost, where are you? They’ve been grilling me for hours, won’t even let me eat. I’m so hungry I’m dizzy and can barely stand.”

Genevieve accidentally hits the speakerphone button, and Fintan’s somewhat pitiful voice immediately comes through.
Hearing this, she grips her phone tightly, looking worried. “Hang on, I’m coming right now!”
After hanging up, she focuses and looks up at me again. “Draven, I’m giving you one last chance. This settlement agreement – are you going to sign it or not?”
After getting my refusal, Genevieve turns and leaves without looking back. This view of her back – I’ve seen it far too many times over the years.
It wasn’t always like this between Genevieve and me.
After graduation, I started working at Frost Family Enterprises. Genevieve was my first apprentice.
Back then, no one in the company knew her true identity, including me.She was naive and energetic, full of passion and drive, but inevitably made
mistakes at work, which I always had to clean up after.

At a party, she had been drinking and, emboldened by the alcohol, forcefully kissed me. “Draven, I like you! I don’t want to just be your apprentice, I want to be your girlfriend, and even more, I want to be your darling!”
The alcohol on her breath seemed to intoxicate me too, and in my dazed state, I agreed to her proposition.
By the time I learned of her true identity, it was too late to escape. Genevieve loved me, and everyone knew it. For my sake, she replaced all the employees on her floor with women. She remembered every date related to me, big or small, including my family members‘ birthdays. Anything I showed even a hint of liking, she would notice and secretly buy it for me.
Others mocked her, saying that a powerful female CEO was wrapped around a man’s finger, but she couldn’t care less.
Yet no one could have predicted that Genevieve, who loved me so deeply,
Would in the fifth
Would, in the fifth year of our marriage, express to me her desire for an open marriage.
Genevieve wasn’t asking. She was informing.
And Fintan, the man who injured my father in the accident, was her 44th lover since we got married.I swallowed the bitterness in my throat as I finished cleaning my father’s body.
He had come specially from our hometown to visit me and Genevieve. Before
