After Three Years of Marriage, My Husband CheatedChapter 1

In the third year of our marriage, Harold Gray found himself a lover. He fought against his entire family for her, even leaving the Gray family behind to build his own business from scratch. People said he’d lost his mind, but he simply took a drag from his cigarette, gazing into the night sky with a faint smile. “Ashley is my life. If I lose her, what does it matter if I have everything else?”

Then he turned to me, his eyes searching. “What do you think, Sara?”

I felt the weight of his words as I quietly walked away. But suddenly, he panicked, grabbing my arm and forcing a cigarette into my hand.

“Sara, the old me is gone. I’m giving you this new life of mine.”

I coughed, the smoke choking me, making me feel sick to my stomach. It’s just a worthless life, I thought. There’s no need to pretend it’s something valuable.

Harold later introduced me to his new lover. Her name is Ashley Evans—a top student from Oxford University, both adorable, with an innocent smile. Her dimples are like glasses of fine wine, so intoxicating that they make you forget yourself when you look at her.

She really is stunning.

So when Harold told me she’d be staying by his side from now on, I wasn’t surprised.

But I never expected that he wouldn’t divorce me. Instead, Ashley would move in, and the three of us would live together. I laughed out of sheer disbelief.

"I don't have such poor taste," I said.

Harold’s voice turned icy. "Sara, this family isn’t for you to control."

Of course, he was right. I was raised by the Gray family, and if it hadn’t been for the engagement arranged when we were children, I wouldn’t have been standing here now, in front of Harold. Over the years, the Walter family had fallen into decline, and the Gray family had more than kept their promise. I was supposed to be grateful—to behave properly.

So, I smiled and nodded. "Then what more is expected of me?"

Harold suddenly smashed the vase next to him, sending shards flying across the floor. "Why are you being so sarcastic? I made it clear when I married you—it was just to deal with my older brother."

"For three years, you’ve shamelessly clung to me, never once thinking of leaving. Isn’t it only fair that you step aside now that I’ve found someone?"

So, that was it. They wanted me to move out and give them the space to be together.
