"I already told you Lily was joking. You've already thrown your fit. How long are you going to keep wearing that sour face?" I said, "You're overthinking it. I don't care anymore." Ryan sneered. "If you don't care, why are you still angry? Hannah, my patience has its limits. I'm warning you, don't push your luck." Before I could speak, Ryan's phone rang. It was Lily calling. "Ryan, I left my keys in your bedroom. It's freezing, come pick me up quickly. If I don't see you in 15 minutes, I'm going to throw a fit, okay?" He laughed. "Wait for me. I'll be right there." As soon as he hung up, he opened the car door and casually brushed me off. "You're close to home, just walk a few steps. I need to go check on Lily." Watching the car disappear into the distance, I didn't even have the strength to feel disappointed. It was 2.5 miles home. By the time I walked to the door, I had already developed several blisters on my feet. The living room was a mess, with liquor bottles scattered everywhere. I walked into the bedroom. The once smooth covers were now wrinkled. On the nightstand on my side lay an unfamiliar key. Even if Ryan said it was just a joke from Lily, I knew it was probably true. No one would casually joke about something like this, and a wave of overwhelming nausea still rose in my throat. While I was dry heaving, Ryan walked in laughing and talking with Lily. His gaze swept over the wrinkled bed, and seeing my expression, a faint look of impatience surfaced in Ryan's eyes. "She was drunk and lay on the bed for a while. Hannah, why is your mind so filthy? I've really had enough of you." At that moment, I didn't even have the strength to argue back. Last night, Ryan had told me he was planning a birthday surprise for me, so he wouldn't be coming home that evening. I stayed up all night, full of hope. The next day, I only received a pair of earrings as a gift. I didn't even have my ears pierced. I had a sleepless night, and he had been awake all night too. The difference was that I was full of hope, while he was probably in bed with another woman. And now he was calling me the one with the dirty mind. Lily sighed. "Pregnant women are such trouble. I'm so tired. I'll sleep here tonight. Ryan, come make the bed for me." Ryan followed her out and ordered me without looking back. "Clean up the living room. I'm gonna go make Lily's bed first." In the past, even without him saying anything, I would clean up like a maid. But now, I stood where I was, my voice calm. "Ryan, let's get a divorce." He froze mid-step when he heard that. "What?" He suppressed his temper and told Lily to go get settled first, then slammed the door. "What the hell is wrong with you? We've only been married for 3 months, and you're talking about divorce?" I nodded. "Yeah. I think Lily is probably a better fit for you." Ryan let out a cold laugh. "Is it because Lily said I slept with her last night? I told you it was a joke. Can't you understand what I'm saying? Besides, even if we did sleep together, so what? It won't affect our relationship as husband and wife. She doesn't play as many little games as you do..." I cut him off, my voice mocking. "Ryan, you know deep down whether the two of you did it or not! And I'm disgusted by this friendship of yours where you two go at it until midnight." Go at it until midnight. I had always thought Ryan wasn't that into this kind of thing. Every time, he finished hastily, as if he were just taking care of a routine need. It turned out he just wasn't into me. The second the words left my mouth, Ryan blew a fuse. He pinned me against the door, holding me so I couldn't move. "You're just jealous. What's the point of saying so much? Come on, take it off! I'll satisfy you right now!" Then his lips came down on mine. Remembering how he and Lily had been tangled up naked together last night, I pushed him hard, but it was useless. I numbly endured it, and the next second, Lily's voice came. "Ryan, come quick. Something major happened!"
