Emilia saw that I was ignoring her, so she stood up, with her hands in front of her holding a handbag, and assumed a gentle and obedient posture. "Sylvia, Frederic said you divorced him without asking for a penny. You... shouldn't be so foolish, after ten years of youth, you should at least get some compensation. A woman's most precious thing is her youth."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
I was really infuriated. A mistress came to persuade the soon-to-be-divorced wife not to give up her assets. Does she think she is very kind?
Moreover, she actually knew that I had loved Frederic for ten years!
She was definitely a little proud and a little sympathetic. I had willingly devoted ten years, but she appeared in just a few months. In this comparison, she also knew how good Frederic was to her.
Was it Frederic who said that to her? I took a deep breath, trying hard to calm myself down. Anyway, this isn't the first time I've become a joke, so what does it matter if Emilia mocks me again?
If I couldn't control my temper, our affair would have embarrassed each other. I endured until after the divorce to embark on a round-the-world trip, as time always heals.
"Eggplant and beef are here!" Greta exclaimed excitedly as she came back carrying the takeout. Upon noticing my gloomy expression, she furrowed her brows and asked, "What's wrong? Your face is about to collapse."
I forced a smile and said, "I have something to show you."
As I spoke, I took out my phone and opened the recording I had just made.
After listening, Greta couldn't contain her erupting emotions anymore and her face turned red with anger. She scolded, "How could that woman be so malicious? She actually wanted to harm you? No way, I'm going to catch up with her and give her a slap. It infuriates me!"
"Greta, don't go," I shook my head, "You don't know where she went, how can you chase after her?"
"Wasn't she also from the music department at Aroma University? I will go and put up banners, hire people to stand there with loudspeakers and insult her! I must insult her until she drops out, otherwise I will be considered incompetent, even me, Greta!" Greta said angrily.
"Frederic and I were about to get divorced, why would we still involve Emilia?" I whispered, "Let me get divorced first, and then we can choose a suitable date for revenge."
Greta was taken aback, "Syl, what do you mean?"
Then she asked again, "What is considered an appropriate date?"
I laughed and said, "For example, it would be a great gift when they were getting married."
This idea immediately caught Greta's attention. She raised her thumb and said, "Yes, this thing cannot be told to Frederic alone. If he gets charmed by a bad woman and ends up protecting her, that's not the result we want. It's better to choose a time and place for everyone to hear and see if she still has the audacity to show her face."
"Well, Frederic is willing to divorce me for her. That means the chances of them getting married are high, so don't worry," I reassured Greta in turn.
After having dinner, as the sky was getting dark, I asked Greta to go back earlier.
The ward regained its quietness, with only occasional hurried footsteps of nurses coming from outside.
I lay on the bed silently browsing the Timeline. A bunch of people waiting for New Year's Eve were flooding the screen, looking very happy.
Unconsciously, I fell asleep and didn't wake up until midnight when I was startled by the sound of fireworks.
During the New Year holidays, Waterwall Square in Aroma City used to organize a grand fireworks event, which was very splendid. It was a popular destination for many couples to celebrate the New Year together. I used to want Frederic to accompany me, but I never got my wish.
After being awakened, I lost my sleepiness and the premonition in my heart urged me to open Emilia's Timeline. Her latest update was indeed the fireworks at Waterwall Square, along with a selfie. Behind her radiant smile, there was half of a face revealed, which belonged to Davin.
At this moment and on this occasion, since Davin is here, it is highly likely that Frederic is also present. However, Emilia couldn't capture him directly, so she took a photo of Davin as a witness.
Frederic had not divorced yet, so Emilia and his affair could not be made public.
