After Marrying His Mistress, He Said He Still Loved Me

Chapter 1

I have a secret. Before I turn thirty, every thousand times I sleep with a man, I can shed a tear that turns into a pearl. And each pearl can grant one wish to a man.

My husband is addicted to s*x. He takes from me day and night. In just two years, he has drawn two pearls from me.

With the first pearl, I wished for his health.

With the second, I wished for him to become the richest man alive.

Even after becoming the richest man, he is still addicted to me. He even takes me along on business trips.

Then, the day before my thirtieth birthday, his secretary, Freya Wainwright, posted an update: The boss's wife moans so loudly every night. I'm jealous. I want to try it too.

Noah Morrow was furious. He fired her on the spot.

Then he pinned me beneath him, his voice low and seductive.

"Honey, I want to do some fill-in-the-blanks. Right now."

That night, he took me again and again, until a third pearl was finally formed.

This time, I wished for us to have both sons and daughters, and to grow old together.

The next day, Noah did not show up at my birthday party.

At midnight, Freya posted on i********:: I've tried it now. My waist is sore and my legs are weak, but I'm going to do the boss... until I die.

Noah knelt in front of me, crying as he said, "Zoey, the doctor said your tearing is severe. For now, your body can't handle me anymore."

"I have no feelings for her. She's just a substitute while you recover."

A month later, Freya got pregnant.

Noah coaxed me into divorcing him.

"You know I made a wish. The only person truly meant to grow old with me is you."

"Freya is very innocent. She cried and told me she's afraid people will call her a mistress, and even more afraid the child will be called a bastard."

"Of course I don't want her and the baby to suffer."

"Once she gives birth and the baby is registered, we can remarry. Okay?"

I smiled and agreed.

What he does not know is that I have endured all of this until now for one reason only. I have been waiting for him to divorce me first, and then marry someone else.

That way, every wish he had made on those pearls would fall apart one by one.

Noah hurriedly shoved me into the car. "I brought all the documents, and the divorce agreement is in the car too. You can sign it on the way."

I steadied my emotions. "I do not have time today. The National Outstanding Teacher Awards Ceremony is being held today. I am one of the recipients, so I cannot miss it."

He froze for a moment, as if he had only just remembered that it was true.

Freya started crying in the car and made a show of opening the door to get out. "Has Zoey changed her mind? It is okay, Mr. Morrow. Take Zoey to the awards ceremony. I will take a taxi to the hospital by myself. Zoey cannot let go, but I can. I do not want to make things hard for you. I will get rid of the baby and then give you my blessing."

Freya's act was clumsy, but Noah believed every word of it.

He gently stroked Freya's hair. When he looked at me again, his eyes were full of coldness.

"Zoey, I do not like it when you scheme against people like this. It is only an unimportant award. If you like, I will buy you ten of them next year."

I looked up at him. In my memory, the boy who had once told me, "When you win the National Outstanding Teacher Award, I will fill the whole city with fireworks to celebrate for you," overlapped with the man standing in front of me now.

I suppressed the ache in my heart. "This award is the dream of my lifetime. I just want to wait one more day."

Freya put on an innocent expression. "Today is Friday, Zoey. Do you not know the clerk's office is closed tomorrow? If you do not want a divorce, you can just say so. There is really no need to come up with such a poor excuse. Mr. Morrow, go with Zoey and let her chase her dream. Do not worry about me and the baby."
