My Stunning Ex-wife

"Daddy, wake up!" "Daddy, mom is back, wake up quickly." Salem Glover was awakened by the sweet voice of a child. He quickly got up from the bed and looked around in astonishment. This was a very crude room, with a few clothes hanging on the window's security net and withered plants in the flowerpot below. Salem Glover widened his eyes in disbelief. Am I... not dead? How am I still alive? In his memory, he had detonated a bomb to sacrifice himself and the enemy in order to protect his team. But at this moment, he was miraculously unharmed! There was no moist heat of the tropical rainforest, no dazzling combat, and no bullets flying everywhere, only a head full of confused thoughts. Could it be...Have I been reborn? Salem Glover was shocked and quickly grabbed the small mirror on the bedside table to look at his reflection. He still had the same face, except there was a hint of desolation, with a scruffy beard covering his cheeks, making him look very haggard, far from the valor he had when he was a soldier. No, this is definitely not an ordinary rebirth! I am still me, but this place feels so unfamiliar to me! "Daddy, why are you ignoring me?" The sweet voice called out again, and Salem Glover turned to see a little head peeking through the doorway. It was a beautifully crafted little girl, probably about five or six years old, with delicate features. When she grew up, she would definitely be a beauty. However, her hair was messy, and her clothes were dirty. "You're calling me dad?" Salem Glover was extremely surprised. Although he was almost 30 years old, since dropping out of school and joining the army, he had devoted ten years of his youth to it. In these ten years, let alone getting married and having children, he hadn't even had a girlfriend. "Daddy!" The little girl pouted with her pink lips. "I've been calling you for a long time, hurry up!" "Oh, alright." Salem Glover stood up groggily and realized that there was no space to move his feet by the bed. The whole place was filled with bottles and trash bags, almost covering the entire floor. The pungent smell of alcohol permeated the air, making Salem Glover frown. "I didn't expect that I'm still a drunkard?" Salem Glover laughed self-mockingly, then jumped over to the other side of the bed using his hands to support himself on the edge of the bed. "Wow, Daddy, you're amazing!" The little girl was stunned for a moment before clapping her hands in delight. Rubbing his sore arms, Salem Glover shook his head and sighed. The physical condition now, compared to when he was in the army, was simply night and day! "Emily, what's wrong?" When Salem Glover walked out of the room, a woman stood up from the sofa. This woman had bright eyes, a straight nose, and thin, red lips, giving her a graceful and generous appearance. As for her figure, there was no need to say more, with her 1.7 meters height and all the right curves. She wore a white shirt on the upper body and a high-waisted professional black skirt, exuding an air of upper-class elegance. "Mommy, Daddy can do somersaults, he's so amazing!" The little girl seemed to have discovered a new continent and swung Salem Glover's arm lightly. "Daddy, do another somersault, let me see, let me see!" "Let's see later." Salem Glover patted the little girl's head and smiled at the woman, "Hello." "I'm not fine!" The woman's expression instantly turned gloomy. "I've only been away on a business trip for a week, and you've turned the house into a mess!" She held two documents in her hand. "Salem Glover, this is our divorce agreement, sign it!" "Huh?" Salem Glover opened his mouth, feeling bewildered. "Why?" "You tell me why!" The woman's voice suddenly rose. "Did you drink yourself into amnesia? Hmph, ever since you accumulated so much gambling debt, can this family still survive?! I originally thought that after my parents sold their assets to help you repay your debts, you would turn over a new leaf and live a good life. But in the past six months, you...you've gotten worse! I can't go on with you anymore, sign it, it's good for both of us. Emily will stay with me, I can't let her suffer with you." As the woman spoke, she became more and more agitated, tears fell down her cheeks, and her eyes were full of disappointment and despair. Salem Glover was at a loss, his mind empty. Gambling debt? Selling family assets? Salem Glover's father was a high school teacher, and his mother was a hospital-attending doctor. In a first-tier city like Asner City, it was considered a middle-class family, and life was comfortable. It was because of this that Salem Glover had no worries about joining the army. "Are you saying that my parents sold all three houses?" Salem Glover's heart sank and he asked hurriedly. "If we didn't sell them, how could we help you repay your debts!" The woman gritted her teeth. "Salem Glover, I've given you countless opportunities, and my parents have trusted you time and time again, but you...Salem Glover, you have no dignity, no responsibility. I have completely given up on you. How you live is your freedom, but I can't let Emily grow up in this environment. I'm taking her away to give her a normal life!"
