Part 3My Ex-Husband's Brother Is Now My Husband

Emily's mother had just caused a scene when Jason called my mom saying he wanted to bring me back to my parents' home.

My mom quickly came to ask me when I was going back, sounding very excited.

I knew Jason was threatening me.

I thought about it and decided to ask Charles for help. He said he'd keep his family in line, and Jason counted as family.

I arranged to meet Charles at a bubble tea shop.

Charles expressed how sorry he was, promising to keep his mother-in-law's family in check and never let them cause trouble again. He also said he would warn Jason.

Hmph, with Emily's little videos in my hand, how dare she come make trouble? I'm the victim here. Me not going to make a scene at her apartment complex is already the height of mercy.

This shameless family, doing wrong yet daring to turn around and bite back.

"Your brother tricked me into a sexless marriage. Your wife seduced my husband and had an affair. Your mother-in-law came to make a scene at my company. You and your whole family have wronged me."

I knew he was also a victim in this, but since he offered himself up, I couldn't help but vent.

Charles remained as calm as ever, just sitting there silently listening as I pointed at his nose and cursed for half the day.

He even casually ordered my favorite milk tea and handed it to me, saying: "Have some water."

I took a sip. Hmm, it was even half sugar.

Even Jason, who I'd been married to for three years, had never noticed my preferences.

I looked at the tall man in front of me and suddenly had a thought.

"If you admit you've wronged me, then make it up to me."

Charles' expression didn't change: "Alright."

"I want Jason to leave with nothing in the divorce." I blurted out almost immediately.

Then I quickly added: "And you have to be with me."

Honestly, I couldn't understand why Emily would cheat.

Faced with Emily's endless extravagant desires, Charles never complained.

He even fulfilled all the increasingly outrageous demands of his leech of a mother-in-law without a word.

Buying them bags, sending them on international trips.

Meanwhile Charles himself was always either on his way to overtime work or coming back from it. Once when he had a high fever and collapsed at home, it was me bringing dumplings who saved him from becoming delirious. When I helped wipe him down with alcohol to reduce the fever, I saw the holes in his socks. He just smiled and said he wore out socks quickly from walking so much, Emily didn't know.

At that time, my heart let out an envious squeal.

If Jason had even half of his brother's goodness, I would have gladly remained celibate for life.

How could Jason compare to such a dream husband who doted on his wife endlessly?

I want this kind of dream marriage too!

Charles' lips moved slightly, his usually unshakeable expression starting to crack.

He was still staring at me, but the guilt and concern in his eyes had turned to contemplation and scrutiny.

He said: "You want to use me to get revenge on them?"

I didn't hesitate at all before saying "Yes." After a pause, I added: "But that's not all. Jason's behavior has left me somewhat traumatized. There's a perfect man right in front of me, Emily doesn't know how to cherish him but I want him. And agreeing to this isn't a loss for you either. You've seen how good of a wife I've been these past three years! And you've seen how much my parents dote on their son-in-law."

Charles nodded and said: "Alright, after the divorce, if needed, I can take responsibility."

He agreed just like that?

Aren't you going to struggle a bit more?

Charles saw my confusion and said very seriously: "I do have a good temper, but that doesn't mean I never get angry. And you're right, if they don't know how to cherish what they have, why shouldn't we choose someone who does?"
