Chapter 1

When Xavier brought his eighth assistant to me for hymen reconstruction surgery, Eleanor, my mother-in-law, sent me a message: "Still not divorcing? This is the eighth one. Are you some kind of masochist?"

This time I didn't have a hysterical breakdown. I just quietly performed the reconstruction surgery on the young woman.

When we walked out of the operating room, Xavier tenderly held the young woman. "There, now your first time will be mine."

The young woman seemed a bit shy in front of others. "Oh, what are you saying? Right in front of your wife, Lily? Aren't you afraid she'll misunderstand?"

Xavier acted as if he'd only just noticed me, giving me a glance followed by mockery.

"Her parents' medical bills still depend on me. As long as I'm happy, she'll do anything. Besides..."

Xavier paused mid-sentence to glance at me. "For a woman who's been humiliated like her to hold the position of a rich man's wife—that's already more than she deserves."

Meeting Xavier's questioning gaze, I nodded, then pulled out several documents.

"Perfect timing. Sign these, so I don't have to track you down later."

Xavier signed without even looking.

Then he instructed me to take good care of the young woman, adding, "Don't make things difficult for her, or I'll make you regret it."

I nodded obediently.

Watching Xavier take the young woman to the hospital room, I pulled out the divorce agreement from among the documents.

This time, I didn't want to wrong myself anymore.
