Let's Divorce, Ex-Husband!

Chapter 40

Daryl's efficiency was very fast. Except for cleaning out, all female employees in other positions were dismissed, including his secretary, Erin Matthew.

She didn't know it at first. She thought he was just talking that night. It wasn't until she brushed Erin's microblog that she realized that he had really dismissed all the female employees in the company for her.

In the next few days, he went home early every day, and started cooking after taking Kinsley back. She came back from psychotherapy just to eat.

This long-lost warmth gradually dissolved her suspicion. Looking at her gentle husband and lovely daughter at the dinner table, she secretly told herself to forget what happened before.

Isn't life exactly what she always wanted? Why think about things that have passed? However, once some ideas are established, it is not easy to eliminate them. Despite constantly reminding herself, she still unconsciously paid attention to Daryl's every move.

For a week, he commutes to work on time every day, picks up Kinsley, cooks, and occasionally goes to the gym once or twice. Except for the social parties that he can't get rid of, all the other friends' parties are pushed off.

Gradually, she began to relax her suspicions.

Because she have been in a good mood recently, the symptoms of bidirectional affective disorder in her have weakened a lot, so the treatment time and frequency are relatively reduced.

Just when she thought her life was on the right track, this peace was ruthlessly broken again.

On Thursday afternoon, she didn't come home until 7: 30 overtimes. As soon as she entered the door, Kinsley threw herself into her arms excitedly, and her heart melted when she shouted "Mom" one after

another. Daryl came out of the kitchen with the dishes and called them to wash their hands for dinner. She walked towards the bathroom with Kinsley in her arms.

When she passed by her husband’s side, she smelled a faint smell of perfume and it caught her attention. She bought Daryl's perfume, and the smell seems familiar. The scent she smelled was obviously liked by the little girl and had a sweet and greasy feeling.

For an instant, she was on fire. How long has it been, started again? She wanted to question him and ask him why he smelled like that. When the words came to her mouth, she swallowed them abruptly again.

He promised that he would not be too close to other women again. It was only a few days later. She should not be so ignorant. What's more, their lives finally got back on track, and she didn't want to make both of them uncomfortable because of these tedious things.

After washing her hands with Kinsley, she casually sat beside him, smelling the perfume on him, and her heart became stuffy. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

After dinner, he and Kinsley washed dishes in the kitchen, and she was tasked to clean the table.

The father and daughter washed and wiped the utensils one by one, and cooperated very well. She looked at them and suddenly felt a little at a loss.

She is a little confused, whether this is a reality or an illusion she expects in her heart, and if it is an illusion, how long can it last?

After taking a bath, she was lying in bed, her mind in a mess.

"Wife."

Daryl opened the door and came in with one hand behind him, looking mysterious. Then he went to her and reached out to her with two clasped hands. "Guess what is in my hand?" He always likes to trick her to coax her. Although they are not particularly valuable things, she was very happy.

Nothing is more important than a husband who loves her. Trixie smiled and accompanied him to mischief. "A gift for me?"

"My wife is so smart!" He kissed her on the forehead and then opened his hand.

She looked at a small bottle of perfume in his hand and froze. The brand of perfume is a big name, but the products are basically aimed at young girls. But what stunned her was not the brand of perfume, but its smell.

It smells exactly like him. Her eyes stared straight at him, looking at him guilty.

"Wife, what's the matter? Don't you like it?" Daryl was worried that she didn’t like it.

"Why do you want to buy this?" Trixie asked.

He scratched his head and with an embarrassed smile. "Didn't you get angry before? Thinking about buying a small gift to make you happy, I didn’t pick the fragrance. This is recommended by the shopping guide and says it sells very well."

He pulled his clothes, like a child showing off his things. "I asked her to spray it on my clothes first and try it. You smell it."

Sniffing if it is like not thinking about the fragrance, her heart was in turmoil. She is very uneasy now. Can she still believe his words?

The smell of perfume is like an invisible devil, stirring her heart a little bit. The sweet and greasy fragrance of a young girl makes the balance symbolizing trust in her heart tilt slowly.

"Not bad, thank you, husband." She restrained her mind, responded to him with a smile, and kissed him on the lip.

Her initiative made him unbearable and gradually addicted to her lips.

When she woke up, He had already gone to work. Perhaps he had something to do today and left early. He did not come and sent Kinsley.

After washing her daughter's face, brushing her teeth and packing her things, looking at the clock, she saw that it was already 8 o'clock sharp. After breakfast, she sent Kinsley to school first.

When she left for work, she threw the bottle of perfume he gave as a gift to her yesterday into the trash can and took it downstairs.

In the company, she has been absent-minded. To tell the truth, his explanation was only dubious. After all, he had lied to her a lot to cover up the facts. She can't guess the source of this perfume, but at least she is sure that it is by no means a gift for her.

"In a daze again?"

The low male voice startled her, so she turned back quickly.

It's Frank.

"Sorry, I was distracted." She smiled, quickly tidied up her mood and reopened the desktop document.

Frank suddenly put a plan in front of her, and the word "Daryl Blayden" on the title caught her attention. She immediately reached out and took the plan and turned it over casually. She was sure it was Daryl's bid. She looked up at Frank with a full face of incomprehension.

Frank yawned and explained to her casually, "This is the company's latest external project. Blayden won the bid. His secretary just brought the plan. I think it happens to be your husband's company, so you should be directly responsible."

Frank's colleagues around him are envious of her. Everyone can see that this is just Frank's means of pursuing her.

She have to say that when men pursue women, they will do whatever it takes, even if it is a million- dollar project. However, her mind is not on Frank at all, but on the "secretary" he said.

Secretary? Which secretary?

Didn't Daryl say that he had dismissed all the female employees of the company? Did he hire a new secretary? Then why didn’t he tell her?

She couldn’t control herself not to entertain foolish ideas, and her heart plopped. In order not to let colleagues around and Frank see something strange, she suppressed her emotions, reluctantly pulled out a smile, and then pretended to mention it casually.

"Is that secretary Eddison?"
