My husband wanted a divorce without knowing I earned $500,000….

After not seeing him for a month, John just thrust a divorce lawyer’s business card at me without even asking.

Are you okay? Or how are you feeling divorcing a wife who doesn’t work? Pay me $1,000 a month as alimony. Sounds good. Take care. John chuckled as he said this, standing beside him.

Emily was wrapping her arm around his, wearing a similar smug expression. Fine, let’s divorce then. I said it so casually that John seemed a bit surprised, but he quickly shared his smile with Emily.

Good thing John isn’t much of a thinker. It makes my plan easier to execute. After the divorce papers got approved, I decided to start my revenge plan on both of them.

I will make them cry as a celebration of my recovery. My name is Sarah Wolf. I’m a 47-year-old illustrator. I’d also work as a children’s book author. I just love drawing. I have two childhood friends, John and Emily.

They’re important friends to me, and John is also my husband. It all started when John asked me out as I was heading to a different college after high school.

I was surprised. I thought he was into Emily, but I couldn’t say no to a confession from John, whom I had secretly liked.

After some thought and consultation with Emily, I accepted John’s proposal. Emily’s behavior had been a bit problematic since teens, but she was still a dear friend to both John and me.

However, Emily had a tendency to snatch other people’s boyfriends and then dump them once they became obsessed with her, causing problems time and again.

Her parents were concerned, so John and I often spent time with her to watch over her. John and I got married when we were 25, four years later.

Emily brought her fiancé into our lives. His name was George. a professional working for a top-tier company. Nice to meet you, Sarah and John. I’ve heard so much about you.

Looking forward to our future together. George was very polite, and we all got along immediately. We would get together during holidays and vacations, taking trips or going on long train rides to enjoy some drinks.

However, things started falling apart. After Emily got pregnant two years into her marriage, John… and I originally had many siblings, so there was no worry about an heir.

So we decided we didn’t need children. Both of us loved kids, but weren’t keen on actively caring for them. Besides, we loved our freedom to travel and enjoy drinks…We often found it heartwarming to see families with children, but it was never more or less than that.

When Emily announced her pregnancy, John’s attitude started to change. He quit smoking, because Emily said she couldn’t stand the smell and even offered to drive her to doctor’s appointments using his vacation days.

I warned him, George might get upset if you’re always with Emily. But John argued back, you have work, don’t you? She’s our childhood friend, and she’s reaching out for help.

You’re heartless. I said, I’ve been buying things and helping where I can, but going with her to the obstetrician is crossing the line.

When I said that, John frowned, and then he glared at me. Why? Because Emily wants it, right? She says she’s anxious about the checkup. I can’t just let her go alone, if she’s anxious.

All the more reason for George to go with her, right? If you go with her every time, it’s almost like you’re the father of the baby in her belly.

John jealous? You’re not going to get pregnant anyway, so what’s the problem? He didn’t take my concerns seriously. and instead started to snap, saying I was being annoying.

We had hardly ever had a fight during our marriage, but things changed when Emily got pregnant. Our arguments increased, and that didn’t change even after Emily gave birth.

In fact, John started spending even more time with Emily and their child, Emma. But when Emma was six, an incident occurred. It had to do with the attendees of Emma’s graduation ceremonies.

The day before the graduation, John suddenly started rummaging through the closet. John, what are you doing? Have a meeting tomorrow. John’s workplace had a casual dress code, but there was a rule to wear a suit during client meetings, so we always kept a few suits ready.

But they were all thrown on the bed. Now? Ah, no, just trying to decide what to wear for the graduation ceremony. What? You’re seriously thinking of attending the graduation?

Yeah, George. can’t make it. Emily asked me, wait, that’s absurd, no matter how you look at it. I inadvertently raised my voice in denial. Immediately, John’s face turned sour.

I knew he occasionally picked Emma up from kindergarten, and I had done so myself when asked, yet it was nonsensical for a biological parent to attend a graduation ceremony.

What? You still doubt me and Emily? I’m disappointed that you can’t even help out. That’s not the point. Point anyway. I’m attending the graduation tomorrow, so iron a shirt properly.

John said that and abruptly ended the conversation, leaving me behind and going to the bedroom. I had no choice but to call Emily. Hello, Emily. About tomorrow. Ah, sorry about tomorrow.

I’m borrowing John. But won’t George be upset about the graduation attendance, Sarah? What are you talking about? Obviously, I haven’t told George that the graduation is tomorrow…

Em, I’ll visit you once in a while. I felt that John no longer had any affection for me as he didn’t even ask about my condition or the name of the disease.

In reality, John only visited once a month or once every two months And after Emma’s 15th birthday, she started acting strangely.

Although she used to visit me almost every day right after I was hospitalized, she became distant after her 15th birthday.

However, neither George nor I could figure out why, and we were puzzled. Even when we asked Emma, she just said, don’t worry about it. However, we ended up learning the reason from John, who rarely showed up.

Hey, it’s been a while. Yeah, it has. John, who had completely transformed into a flashy appearance, walked in without even knocking.

After not seeing him for a month, John just thrust a divorce lawyer’s business card at me without even asking.

Are you okay? Or how are you feeling divorcing a wife who doesn’t work? Pay me $1,000 a month as alimony. That’s the deal. So take care. John said, grinning from ear to ear.

Beside him, Emily wrapped her arms around John’s with a similar expression on her face. Fine, let’s divorce then. I casually agreed, which seemed to surprise John for a moment.

But he quickly exchanged smiles with Emily. It was good that John wasn’t the type to think too deeply. That’s why my plan worked so well. After receiving a notification that the divorce was finalized from John, I decided to start my revenge plan against the two of them.

I will make them cry as a celebration of my recovery. I promptly started to take action. First, I contacted George to transfer hospitals. Then I informed my lawyer that they would be mediating between the two parties from now on.

George also began to act at the same time. He moved near my new hospital with Emma, and he started to visit me frequently.

Emma still had a gloomy expression, but I was happy that she came to see me every day. Most of my belongings were already in the hospital room.

So I told John to dispose of the rest. I didn’t want to bring anything that the two of them might have touched into my new life.

Once the hospital transfer and George and Emma’s move settled down, I received a call from John. I had only left my seat for a few minutes, but my smartphone already showed 30 missed calls.

I answered the phone, feeling exasperated. What? Hey! What the hell is going on? I could hear the voice of a troubled real estate agent behind John’s panicked voice.

I also heard Emily yelling, which made me feel sick. What do you mean? What’s going on? It’s obviously about the house. Why do we have to move out? John shouted at me as if it wasn’t his fault at all.

I replied to him coolly, obviously because that’s my house. Ha, John seemed to have completely forgotten. but the truth was the house we lived in was a room I rented as a workspace.

When I started to make a living as a freelancer, at that time, I didn’t have enough income to maintain two houses, and John didn’t have enough income to live alone.

So he ended up moving into my place. Therefore, Jan had never paid the rent or utility bills for that room. Although I received some money from him for living expenses, it wasn’t enough to maintain the place.

Unfortunately, That room was already canceled. It was far from the hospital I transferred to, so I had processed the cancellation the day after submitting the divorce papers…She was disowned by her family and lived alone in a rundown apartment. She hadn’t worked at all since getting married. And since she had always made others do things for her, she couldn’t do anything herself.

And there were hardly any places that would hire her as a full-time employee. Still, she had to pay for her living expenses and child support.

So she worked multiple part-time jobs and barely made ends meet. After entering high school, Emma worked hard every day to study abroad and go to a prestigious university overseas.

Being originally diligent, her dream is to translate my picture books and deliver them to children all over the world, which makes me happy.

As for me, my picture books are selling well, and I am receiving more and more offers for anime adaptations and merchandise.

My illness is also progressing well, and although I am still hospitalized, my doctor recently told me that I might be able to leave the hospital next year.

And one more thing! George and Emma come to visit me every day. Actually, George recently confessed to me with remarriage in mind. I haven’t given my answer yet, but I can’t help but have feelings for him.

He said he wants to live together when I leave the hospital. While thinking about what to answer, I work on my picture books every day, hoping for a happy future for us.

I weave stories again today.
