After the Affair, I Made Him Leave with NothingChapter 1
That evening, I happened to glance at my husband's phone and saw his chat with a chatbot.
"Wife bought a purse for five hundred bucks. Such a waste. How do I get her to return it?"
The next second, a new message popped up on his WeChat.
"Mr. Cox, the Hermès bag you ordered has arrived."
"Would you and Ms. Gray like to pick it up in person, or shall we deliver it to you?"
My hand clenched around the phone and started to shake.
My husband's last name was indeed Cox. But mine sure as hell wasn't Gray.
I steadied my breathing and typed a reply to the sales associate.
"Tomorrow at ten a.m. Deliver it to the house."
"I'll take it to Ms. Gray myself."
——
Ten a.m. Daniel would be at work. I'd have the house to myself.
After sending the message, I opened the navigation app on his phone and memorized the address of the neighborhood he'd been visiting most often lately.
I deleted the entire conversation with the sales associate, then set the phone back exactly where it had been.
Daniel came out of the bathroom right on cue, freshly showered.
He dropped onto the bed beside me and slipped the phone away as if it were nothing.
