Chapter 4
After coming home from the rain, I didn’t shower or change clothes, nor did I take any measures to keep warm. I sat alone on the couch all night.
It wasn’t until dawn that I realized I had a high fever.
I sat dazed, hearing the sound of keys turning.
Sebastian Clem had returned.
His expression was cold, his lips tightly pressed, clearly showing anger.
“What did you say in Beatrice Meyer’s comment section?”

“Do you really need to bicker with a young girl?”
My mind was foggy, my breath scorching, my whole body felt as though it was burning.
Facing Sebastian Clem’s anger, I didn’t retaliate as I usually did. Instead, with a hoarse voice, I calmly asked him:
“Sebastian, do you remember what day it was yesterday?”
Sebastian Clem was taken aback by my question, “What?”
I quickly averted my gaze, not looking at him anymore.
He didn’t remember.
Or perhaps, he had long forgotten.

Three years dating, five years of marriage.
2,848 days, 34,176 months.
We’ve been together for such a long time.
So long that it became routine, so long that…our existence to each other became inconsequential.
So, I asked differently:
“Did you have fun yesterday?”
“Did you make any wishes with Beatrice Meyer?”
“What was your wish?”
Seeing Sebastian Clem not responding, I boldly asked the question buried deep in my

heart:
“I’m honestly curious, did you sleep with her? How many times?”
“When did it happen? Can you tell me?”
However, what answered me was the sound of a vase shattering.
The atmosphere froze at that moment.
In my ear, Sebastian Clem’s furious voice rebounded:
“Zelene Reyes, are you crazy? Do you even know what nonsense you’re saying?”
“I think you’re just bored out of your mind, that’s why you’re so paranoid and even investigating me.”

“I beg you, my biggest wisishsis for you to find d something to do, orsomeecaelelse to bother, okay? I’m really fed up with you.”
His voice was both angry anddeleading, as if he was on the brink of madnesss.
I was stunned, suddenly realizingg.
In Sebastian Clem’s eyes, my affectioion was just trouble.
My purpose was to torment him, causining him endless pain.
Until Beatrice Meyer appeared.
Allowing Sebastian Clem to finally let go off the burden and be himself.
So they became ‘we‘, and I was cast aside.e.

I looked up at the man in front of me, his face flushed with anger, unable to associate him with the shy young man who stole kisses from me in the past.
At that moment, I knew clearly.
The Sebastian Clem who loved Zelene Reyes most was dead in the past.
In front of me stood Sebastian Clem who unreservedly favored Beatrice Meyer.
Also, the Sebastian Clem who was driven to near collapse by my persistence, begging me to let him go.
Without much hesitation, I used all my strength to utter a single word: “Okay”
Sebastian Clem was stunned: “What?”

I looked at him, laughed peacefully, and repeated: “I said, okay.”
I won’t force you to do everything my way anymore, won’t interfere with your and Beatrice Meyer’s affairs, nor will I continue to entangle and torture you.
Of course, this will also be the last time I heed your words.
I want to say, “Sebastian Clem.”
“I promise you.”
Including, choosing to leave you.
As I genuinely did what Sebastian Clem had wished, and spent an entire year transforming into a gentle and considerate wife, he suddenly changed.

Thoughts returned, it was a moonless night.
Our eyes met, Sebastian Clem first looked away, unable to meet my gaze, yet suddenly said:
“Zelene Reyes, I never slept with her.”
I softly replied, “Okay.”
His voice was low, barely speaking: “So, could you please…not be mad at me anymore?”
