Part 2My wife and her male assistant took a hot spring bath, and I made them bankrupt

When I woke up, it was already evening. I had planned to have barbecue at night.

When I got to the barbecue area on the lawn, my colleagues had already started.

The only seat left was by Nora, so I had to sit there.

"Where's your wedding ring?"

As soon as I sat down, Nora questioned me.

"Threw it away."

After I said that, Nora slammed her chopsticks on the table.

"Enough! Since when did you become so unreasonable?"

"I just spent a day with Theo and you give me attitude!"

"He's not well, what's wrong with helping him more? Why are you so heartless?"

After Nora spoke, Ethan chimed in, "Yeah, Theo’s right, Declan Chen, you’re just not generous enough."

"You wouldn't even get Theo headache medicine."

"If I hadn't been thoughtful and brought some, Theo would've suffered!"

Theo acted all pitiful, leaning against Nora, rubbing his eyes.

They all looked at me with disdain, like I was the town pariah.

"Enough, let’s not let Declan Chen ruin our mood."

Logan brought a tray of grilled meat over to Theo.

"Theo, eat up, don't let irrelevant people upset you, your health is important."

Nora patted Theo’s head to comfort him, "Alright, Theo doesn’t want to see you. Go buy him a cocktail, he loves it."

"Come back and drink three cups as an apology!"

I left my seat, but not to buy drinks. I went to get my own dinner.

I bought a burger and sat by the fountain plaza outside the lawn to eat.

The fountain show was beautiful, easing my heartache a bit.

I got a text from Nora, asking why I hadn't bought the drink.

She forgot I’m allergic to alcohol and never bought it. When I was at the table, there was never alcohol.

That was because Nora protected me, ensuring I never saw alcohol and asked others not to drink around me.

I blocked Nora.

"What are you doing here, why haven’t you bought the drink?"

I looked up, it was Theo.

"If you want a drink, buy it yourself. What, got no money?"

I said, provoking Theo.

He pointed at me angrily, "Isn’t your money from Nora? Who do you think you are?"

"I just need to beckon, and do you know how much Nora will give me?"

"Do you believe it? Soon Nora will kick you out!"

I nodded, "I believe it! You better make her divorce me soon."

So it was about money.

I wanted to see if Theo would still stay with Nora once she was left with nothing.

Seeing I wasn’t angry, he was displeased, sneering.

Then he grabbed me suddenly, loudly saying, "Mr. Declan, don’t be mad, it’s my fault!"

Then he pushed me hard, and I fell backward into the fountain.

The overwhelming suffocation made me feel near death.

I feared water, couldn’t swim. I once wanted Nora to teach me, but she said with her around, I’d never be in danger.

But now I was in danger, and she didn’t care.

A female colleague saved me, pulling me from the water.

After regaining consciousness, I looked at Nora comforting Theo from a distance.

I made up my mind.

"Declan Chen! You’re ruthless! Theo apologized, yet you pushed him!"

"Stop pretending to be pitiful by jumping in the fountain! Why did I marry someone like you?"

I trembled, getting up from the ground: "If that’s the case, let’s divorce!"
