“Chad, you’re a good actor, but you can’t
make something up like that.”
“Do you really think your wife is better than
me?”
く
Chad got nervous. “Willow, you don’t
understand, Ethan’s really good at tricking
women! You gotta watch out!”
“He used to do anything to chase my wife, a
total simp. Buying breakfast, writing love
letters, giving her songs, giving her jobs,
anything he could!”
“He’s just after your money. Don’t let him fool
you!”
Hearing that, Willow gently pinched my cheek.
“Writing love letters? Writing songs? Buying
breakfast?”
“What else did you do? A romantic proposal
or a ring?”
I could smell the jealousy, glaring at Chad.
“Nah, just ten years ago, when I was in
college. He wrote me some love letters. I
forgot about it,” I said, trying to deny it.
Willow would hold that against me forever,
and bring it up whenever we fought.
I could’ve killed Chad!
Why did he have to say that!
“Ethan, really? You never wrote me love
letters, or proposed to me!” Willow said,
sounding sad.
I tried to comfort her. “I’ll write them when we
get back!”
Chad was shocked.
He was trying to break us up, not see us
flirting.
“Willow, can’t you see he’s lying to you? He
just wants your money! How else would he
say something like that?”
Willow glared at Chad, breaking up our
moment. “What are you talking about? It’s our
money!”
“Besides, why do you think my husband
doesn’t have money? You’re looking down on
him.”
“I write all my movies, scripts, and songs, and
my husband takes care of everything. Even
my company is from my husband.”
Chad looked at me like I was a ghost. “What?
It was you?”
“That’s how Willow became a superstar so
fast!”
Ashley was even more shocked than Chad.
She was staring at me, not believing it.
She couldn’t believe it was true.
Last time, after we got married, I was the
house husband, supporting her behind the
scenes.
But this time, I was able to get my own
business and become a big deal in Hollywood.
She felt all kinds of emotions and looked
uncomfortable.
If she didn’t do that last time…
If she didn’t leave me…
She couldn’t imagine what she missed out on.
Then Willow asked the director a couple of
questions and realized that they were just put
on the show at the last minute, and that it
was all a misunderstanding.
Willow looked at me, sounding sorry. “Honey,
I’m sorry. I wanted to announce our
relationship on this show, as a surprise, but…”
After cleaning the wound, she looked at me,
worrying about other injuries.
I was just a homebody, and Willow was really
busy every day, and she wanted me to get out
more, so she put me on this show.
I didn’t really like the show, and I was just
washed up, so they assumed I was trying to
get back with Ashley.
