The Nightmare of an Ungrateful Adopted Daughter

chapter 3

When I brought Charlie home, David, as usual, lost his temper with me. "Didn't we agree to adopt a four or five-year-old? Why did you adopt such an older child?"

"I agreed to you adopting a child, but I never said a teenager! What are you doing? Do you think my life isn't chaotic enough?"

I ignored him and went straight to the room to start packing.

He followed me, continuing to yell, "Didn't you hear me? Playing deaf? What are you trying to do? You've got some nerve!"

I stopped what I was doing and looked at him calmly. "Let's get a divorce."

David's job is easier than mine, his salary is lower, yet he leaves early and comes home late, then just lies in bed playing on his phone, never doing any housework.

Whenever work frustrates him, the first thing he does after coming home is take it out on me.

I wanted a child and suggested visiting the orphanage on the weekend, but he made an excuse about working overtime and told me to go alone.

Since we got married, he's been avoiding all troubles like this.

In my past life, I silently endured it, fearing gossip from relatives and neighbors, until I discovered his affair with Malia and finally decided to divorce.

Now reborn, I will no longer endure.

My salary is four times his, and I cover almost all the household expenses.

This marriage is already meaningless. If we divorce, I can take good care of the child on my own.

"What did you say?" David widened his eyes, unable to believe that I, always submissive, would say such a thing.

I repeated, "I said, I want a divorce!"

At first, he disagreed, but Sophia was thrilled. "David, she hasn't been able to have a child for so long, she's useless! You should've divorced her ages ago! She's finally letting you go!"

"She can leave if she wants! Anyway, the house is ours, and where she lives afterward is none of our business."

"Hurry up and find a virtuous wife, and have a child quickly!"

"By the way, that colleague Jasmin you mentioned before, isn't she interested in you? She hasn't been married, right? Is there a chance for you two?"

David blushed and retorted, "Mom, don't talk nonsense. We're just ordinary colleagues."

I do have some impression of Jasmin Griffin.

In my past life, I found their chat history on David's phone. David cried and promised me he would never do it again, begging for my forgiveness.

At that time, I was in the prime of my career, so I didn't pursue it further and didn't know what happened afterward.

Sophia smiled brightly and unilaterally confirmed their relationship. "I think she's great, let's go with her!"

With her help, David and I quickly got divorced.

Not long after, David and Jasmin quickly registered their marriage.

Sophia specifically messaged me, asking me to see how happy David was after leaving me. I completely ignored it.

She was waiting to see me end up on the streets, but I turned around and bought a detached villa in full.

She assumed Id be exhausted taking care of the child alone. But Charlie is obedient, independent, and eager to learn, leaving me nothing to worry about.

My good days are just beginning.

And their happy life is about to end.

Because they dont know that the one with fertility issues isnt me, but David.
