Stellan Sutton returned home to sleep for a while, waking up near dusk, and stared at the gifts he had bought in Marinus, deep in thought.
A few minutes later, he got up and instructed the butler, "Prepare the car, I'm going out."
Recently, Master Sutton had been causing quite a stir, urging him to visit his wife's address after giving it to him, pressuring him daily. Due to work and the phone call incident last time, he felt hesitant.
But today, he decided to try again.
Maybe there was a misunderstanding last time.
Thinking about it, he picked up the gift and headed straight to the address given by Master Sutton.
It was rush hour, and the roads were a bit congested. By the time he arrived, it was an hour later.
He found a parking spot in the neighborhood and asked several passersby before finding the building where she lived.
Inside the elevator, he lowered his eyes to press the floor number, considering how to greet the person later, how to reasonably explain his absence for two years.
Perhaps a simple apology would be a good start.
"Wait, wait!"
A clear voice called out, and Stellan Sutton held the door button for a moment, allowing a couple, cozy with each other, to come inside.
"Thanks, handsome."
The person smiled back at him and then casually wrapped an arm around the man's shoulders, giving a playful pinch at his waist.
"Baby, why are you skinny again? I like you a bit meatier; it's more comfortable to hug."
"Then I'll eat a bit more!"
Stellan Sutton turned his gaze away, stepped back, and watched the numbers climb.
They happened to go to the same floor as him.
"Ding!"
When he could no longer endure their flirting, the elevator finally arrived.
The woman dragged the man out first, with them cheerfully pulling out keys and opening the door.
Stellan Sutton stood still in the elevator.
The door they opened was the unit he was looking for.
This was the second time he had faced his wife so closely.
Yet she didn't recognize him, even while holding another man.
He frowned, his gaze gradually darkening.
Turning cold, he pressed the button to return to the first floor.
As the elevator door closed, he could vaguely see the woman eagerly lifting the man's shirt, looking eagerly at his abs.
Seems like he was the one out of place.
Just as he returned to the car, Master Sutton called again.
He hesitated for a moment before picking up.
"When are you bringing your wife back? I'm exhausted from nagging!"
Stellan Sutton rubbed his brow, sighed deeply, and softly responded, "I'm not bringing her back."
"What do you mean by 'not bringing her back'?"
"She's already started a new life, and I shouldn't disturb her."
Master Sutton was even more puzzled, "What do you mean by 'shouldn't disturb'?!?"
Turning his head to glance at the gifts and flowers on the passenger seat, Stellan fell silent for a moment and said, "I'm planning to divorce her."
As he said this, Master Sutton was silent for several seconds on the other end, "Why suddenly talk about divorce in good condition?! What happened? Ah, no matter what's going on, stay calm! Divorce is no small matter. You need to confirm things in person before deciding; wronging the girl isn't good!"
Stellan Sutton initially wanted to say that he had already confirmed with his own eyes.
But being mindful of Master Sutton's health, he refrained from being too definitive.
At the very worst, even if she had found someone new, his divorce should be conducted respectfully.
After all, he was the one who left first for two years without fulfilling his duty as a husband. In the divorce, he wouldn't cause her any distress or lay the blame on her.
Breaking up on good terms is the best approach.
"Come back and discuss things with me clearly tomorrow! I feel there must be some misunderstanding; don't jump to conclusions!"
After saying this, Master Sutton directly hung up the phone.
Stellan Sutton irritably rubbed his brow, glanced back at the entrance of the apartment building, and drove away.
...
Eve Sherman came home after a busy day to find Zoe Sawyer and Wyatt Crawford already prepared dinner.
"Babe, let me tell you, today I met an incredibly handsome guy in the elevator!"
Just walking through the door, Zoe enthusiastically grabbed her, "And this guy is on the same floor as us; I don't know if he's a relative of the lady next door, but anyway, he is so handsome!!"
"Pfft, said you wouldn't get close to men, yet with them recklessly, and looking at handsome guys, sigh."
Wyatt sighed helplessly before quickly changing his expression, "But seriously, he was so handsome and smelled so good, I felt my heart fluttering! I really wanted to pounce on him!"
"No way, I saw him first; if anyone's pouncing, it's going to be me!"
"You already have a man, I go first!"
"Me first!"
