Both husbands and daughters love cheating. I filed for divorce after seeing it clearly, but they all regretted it.
On our seventh wedding anniversary, I joyfully prepared a table full of my husband’s
favorite dishes.
But he brought his first love back home.
Our five–year–old daughter clung to her hand, nestling close.
“Aunt Hazel, you’re so wonderful! My mom only stays home to wash clothes and cook. You’re like a fairy who can do anything.”
“Aunt Hazel, can you
be my mom?”
My heart wrenched, and I staggered backward, shocked by my daughter’s words.
My husband didn’t correct her; he just smiled at them.
Then he glanced at me standing in the corner with impatience, saying, “Why do you always have that sour look? Our daughter is young and doesn’t understand, but shouldn’t
you know better? Go set the table for our guest!”
I quietly set the table, trying to muster a smile.
“I’m not hungry. You all go ahead.”
That night, I saw my husband’s latest Snapchat post.
In the picture, he and that woman were holding our daughter, looking blissfully happy.
The caption read: “After all the twists and turns, I’m grateful to have you, to have your both. How fortunate.”
With tears in my eyes, I liked the post, then opened our chat.
“Let’s get a divorce. I’ll let you be.”

The next morning, I returned home to collect my bank card and left the divorce papers on
the coffee table.
Passing through the living room, I saw the mess they left from last night’s meal.
Hazel was sleeping in our bedroom, Sierra clinging tightly to her as if afraid she’d disappear.
Declan was sleeping at the edge of the bed.
I let out a dry laugh, unable to stop my tears.
I took a photo of the three of them with my phone.
Declan, a light sleeper, stirred at the sound of the camera shutter.
Seeing me ready to leave with my suitcase, he stopped me.
“Where are you going with a suitcase so early?”
I smiled faintly, “Making room for you all.”
Declan was annoyed.
“Why are you acting crazy again?”
“Hazel just returned from abroad and has nowhere to stay, so I brought her home for a bit. Do you have to be so petty?”
I laughed inwardly, realizing the last bit of hope I had for him was gone.
“Isn’t City A big enough for hotels?”
Declan avoided my gaze.
“It was so late, a woman staying at a hotel alone isn’t safe!”

“Dad, Mom, why are you fighting again? Can you keep it down? Don’t wake Aunt Hazel!”
Our daughter, who was holding onto Hazel, woke up and shouted at me impatiently, covering her ears protectively.
Looking at the daughter I carried for ten months, my heart was torn apart, bleeding painfully.
Even for a simple cold, I would get up in the middle of the night to take her to the hospital.
When she had a fever, I stayed up all night caring for her, making her favorite yogurt melts.
I worked tirelessly for days, collapsing from exhaustion for three days before recovering.
When did she start hating me like Declan did?
Was it when she inadvertently said, “Why can’t my mom make money? She just cooks and washes clothes like a lazy parasite.”
But I graduated from a prestigious university, got recruited by a Fortune 500 finance company in
my
freshman year.
In my sophomore year, Declan, then a freshman, pursued me. He wore a gray tracksuit, his eyes enchanting.
He held a bouquet of roses under the girls‘ dormitory, offering it to me: “Senior, I like you.””
“This bouquet is for you. Once you agree to be my girlfriend, I’ll save up to buy you all kinds of flowers, everything you like, and shower you with love, making you the envy of your friends.”
His love was pure and intense.
I had never dated before and was drawn to him.
I accepted his confession, growing to love him more deeply.

Gradually, I learned he pursued me because..
When I painted, I resembled his ex–girlfriend from the side.
But I thought, hearts are made of flesh. If I loved him well, he would be moved.
Seven years passed.
He said he wanted to focus on his career, so I submitted my resignation to my boss, who had also experienced a memorable love.
They agreed to give me a few years to think it over.
But I had to create a new plan for their company and launch a business video account, gaining a million followers within three days to avoid paying a penalty.
I worked tirelessly for days and succeeded.
Thus, I became a dutiful wife..
He came home later and later, growing more distant.
Initially, he’d give me a reluctant smile. Eventually, only Sierra got a warm smile.
Later, he’d stare at his phone late into the night, his smile unwavering.
I couldn’t hold it anymore and asked who he was chatting with so late.
I caught a glimpse of the note, a heart emoji, and the word “baby.”
The other person sent a photo in a sexy nightgown with barely visible text: “When I return, we’ll go to a hotel. You can do whatever you want. Until then, you better behave and keep your bullets safe!”
My mind exploded.
My blood froze.

I thought of his ex–girlfriend who went abroad.
He immediately put away his phone with a dark look: “Nora, you eat what I earn, live in what I earn. When have you ever appreciated my hard work?”
I trembled, my mind a mess, silently taking his dirty clothes to wash.
As I thought of the past, my eyes reddened.
The bitterness pressing on my heart began to clear.
Some things aren’t sweet when forced.
I asked our daughter, “Do you want her to be your mom?”
Sierra puffed her chest, looking at me disdainfully: “Yes! Aunt Hazel is so beautiful and buys me lots of dolls and snacks. She’s better than you in every way!”
“But if she becomes your mom, I won’t be around anymore.”
I still held a tiny bit of hope.
After all, she’s my daughter.
I’ve cared for her so long, she must choose me.
Sierra didn’t care, clinging tightly to Hazel.
“As long as I have Aunt Hazel, I don’t need you!”
My heart shattered completely.
Declan frowned.
“Nora, don’t make trouble! You only have the hundred dollars I gave you for groceries. You’ll be back begging for forgiveness within a day. Why bother?”
I looked at him, took out the hundred dollars, and tossed it at him: “Declan, Sierra, I don’t

I smiled at them, grabbing my suitcase and walking out the door.
