My wife's explanation seemed reasonable, but I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off.
"A male colleague?"
Upon hearing my words, my wife hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Honey, do you think that's possible?"
I wanted to say it was possible, but I couldn't bring myself to his kind of conversation.
Seeing me remain silent, my wife paused for a moment, then gently hugged my waist and said softly, "Honey, all my colleagues are female at this party, there's no male colleagues, can this chill you?
After saying that, she tiptoed and lightly kissed my lips before gently pushing me away, "Honey, I'm going to take a shower."
She intended to close the bathroom door.
I pushed open the bathroom door, lifted my wife, and walked into the bathroom. I wanted to see if my wife had really cheated on me.
Had her parts been touched by another man besides me?
But how could I tell?
Check if there were any clues on my wife's underwear? Any strange smells?
"Honey, you're being annoying!"
My wife lightly pushed my chest, and I could see a happy smile on her face.
In my mind, I couldn't help but link what I saw on Reddit to the image of my wife lying on a bed, enjoying herself with another man.
I found myself becoming a bit rough with my wife's actions.
After we finished up, I found that I was even stronger than before, and it seemed to last for about ten more minutes than usual.
My wife seemed quite satisfied too. I could tell she hadn't felt "this way" in a long time.
I checked my phone. It was already past one in the morning.
Feeling drowsy, I yawned and walked into the bedroom, ready to lie down and sleep.
At this moment, the phone my wife had left charging in the room rang.
This late? Who could be calling my wife?
I was very curious, so when the phone rang a few times, I instinctively picked it up.
"Hello, darling, are you home?" A man's voice came from the other end. "Do you miss me?"
Upon hearing this, I felt as if my whole world had collapsed. I sat there in silence for a long time, my heart on the verge of breaking.
My wife had cheated on me, and the man calling was her lover.
"Who are you?"
I instinctively responded, my world almost crumbling at this moment. But I tried to control my emotions. I wanted to know who this man was.
And why my gentle, kind, and virtuous wife would cheat on me behind my back?
"Uh, aren't you Bonnie?" The man's voice sounded startled, then he said, "Sorry, I dialed the wrong number. Bonnie is a girl, how could it be a man?"
With that, the man hung up.
Upon hearing this, a weight was lifted off my heart.
So, the other person had dialed the wrong number. I thought my wife had really cheated?
At this moment, my wife walked in from outside, seeing me holding her phone, she walked over anxiously, "Honey, who called just now?"
Seeing my wife's expression, I couldn't help but sink into deep thought.
Why was my wife so nervous?
"A man."
I deliberately said.
"Honey, you're joking, right? How could a man call me so late?"
"I'm not joking with you."
I looked at my wife seriously.
Seeing my expression, my wife hesitated for a moment, "Honey, who could be calling me so late?"
I carefully observed my wife's expression and could tell she wasn't panicking at all.
Now my heart finally settled down. "It was a man looking for Bonnie, he called the wrong number."
"Oh."
My wife responded simply, then yawned, "Honey, let's go to bed."
Watching my wife fall asleep next to me, I couldn't sleep well that night because I kept thinking about why my wife didn't wear her stockings back home, and the woman in the video from the Reddit looked so much like her.
The next morning, my wife got up early to make breakfast for me.
"Honey, I have a business trip today, so I might not be home tonight."
Hearing my wife's words, I was stunned!
Normally, my wife rarely went on business trips, or I should say she had never been on one since we got married. Apart from visiting her parents, she had never stayed out overnight.
But yesterday, she didn't wear her stockings back home, and today she's going on a business trip, and she won't be back tonight?
"Babe, you rarely went on business trips before, right?" I held my toothbrush and paused, "Why are you suddenly going on a business trip today?"
"Honey, I didn't want to go either, but it's arranged by the company, so I have no choice."
There was a hint of helplessness in my wife's words.
"Babe, where are you going on your business trip?"
I asked curiously.
"Washington, Seattle "
"Oh, who are you going with?"
Actually, I wanted to know if my wife was going with a man or alone.
"I'm going with a colleague from my company, Linda."
My wife seemed to sense my worry, so she said so.
Since my wife said so, I couldn't just say I wouldn't let her go on the business trip, could I?
"Honey, I'm going to work. If you're not working overtime later, please drop by my parents and bring these to them."
Before leaving, my wife took out bags of stuff from the wardrobe for me to give to her parents.
"Babe, what are these?"
"These are some specialties my mom asked me to buy."
My wife casually said, then hurriedly left.
