"I wasn't angry. I just felt that he was unreasonable. Why does he always pick on me? He's a typical case of favoring family over reason!" I intentionally said it for Tristan to hear.
Frederic was clearly wrong. Why does Tristan always blame me?
Tristan's eyes darkened slightly. I felt like he was angry, but it wasn't very obvious.
At that moment, a woman called out "Dr. Shelton". Tristan turned around. A young woman, wearing the same couple's windbreaker, walked over. When she looked at Tristan, her eyes were filled with adoration.
Because I had stayed in the hospital for a few days, I recognized the woman in front of me. She was a nurse who had also given me injections.
"We were getting ready to have a barbecue. Let's go," the sweet voice of the little nurse said.
"Hmm." Tristan's response was cold and he turned around and walked away.
After watching their receding figures, Ruben suddenly said, "Sylvia, you should be careful with him."
I looked at him in confusion.
He said with a serious tone, "Based on a man's intuition, I feel like he might be trying to steal my thunder."
I couldn't help but burst out laughing. Ruben and Greta had a deep misunderstanding of Tristan.
"Why are you laughing?" Ruben asked awkwardly.
"It's nothing. Ruben, I can believe it if you say Tristan's target for digging is Emilia. You know?" I patted Ruben's arm. "Let's go. Let's also see what's interesting at the top of the mountain."
Ruben and I looked around. We found that besides the nice scenery, everything else was not really great.
Tristan and his colleagues came prepared. They were standing in the cold wind, lighting the stove and preparing the ingredients. I didn't expect him to participate in the team-building activity.
A group of beautiful women surrounded Tristan, spinning around him. He appeared very popular.
Unfortunately, he didn't understand the charm.
"Ruben, let's go down the mountain," I said to Ruben in a dispirited tone, no longer in the mood to continue playing.
Ruben nodded and obediently followed me down the mountain.
When we returned to the foot of the mountain, it was already late in the day. Before parting ways, I could tell that Ruben had something to say to me. But I was feeling upset at the moment and didn't want to add to my troubles. Without waiting for him to speak, I drove away.
In the rearview mirror, Ruben stood by the roadside without moving.
My guilt resurfaced at this moment. I think it's better not to give Ruben any more hope from now on.
I decided to file for divorce with Frederic!
With this idea in mind, I immediately told Greta and the others about it as soon as I got home. They were very excited. Cecelia even recommended a lawyer who specialized in handling divorce cases to me.
Under the guidance of a lawyer, I began preparing the lawsuit.
Two days later, I submitted the lawsuit to the court. If everything went smoothly, Frederic would be notified in seven days. Regardless of what kind of response he would give at that time, I had already made up my mind to get a divorce.
As for my parents and in-laws, I will come up with a plan when the time comes.
After hearing that I had already filed the lawsuit, Greta was very excited. She came to my house late at night and asked, "Is it true, Syl? Does that mean my brother has a chance?!"
