When they arrived, I was in the middle of moving.The day I caught Chloe cheating, she moved directly out of our shared house.With the divorce looming, I naturally couldn’t live there anymore either.My friend had found me an apartment, and I’d completed the purchase last month.Most things were already set up, but I couldn’t bear to leave the good furniture behind.
I figured I might as well take it.After all, none of these belongings were cheap, and that house was about to get a new male occupant to enjoy them.So, it was better if I just moved out.Therefore, the atmosphere when we met was… delicate.Sarah was incredibly awkward, seeing as she’d cost me so much money.And I felt a bit guilty too, given that I was secretly moving our marital assets.This time, Sarah decided to strike first.She proactively said to me, “Declan, you know, I’m just an employee. Each to their own boss, right?”
“Ms. Hayes gave me my big break, so I couldn’t afford to be confused on such an important matter.”I rolled my eyes at her.Right, right. A big break, so she’d die for her boss.So I was just supposed to take it?She only lost her boss, but I lost a solid fifty million dollars!The two of us were muttering to each other on the balcony, while Chloe had already explored the entire house.When she saw Sarah and me whispering intimately, she instantly looked unsettled. She walked over and pulled us apart.She pointed at the packed moving boxes and asked, “Is this going to be our new home? I thought this house was perfectly fine. Why are we moving out now?”
“Or are we moving to a bigger, grander place?”I looked at her. “I’m moving out. You’re still living here.”Chloe didn’t understand.I said coldly, “Because we finalized our divorce last month. The reason was your infidelity.”
