Chapter 3

Moreover, the sun visor was decorated with a few cute stickers. Apart from me, nobody would dare to treat Callum like a driver, nor would they have the guts to sit in the front passenger seat. It went without saying who was the culprit behind it. Anger flared in my heart. Although I didn't want to admit it, I was losing my cool over Ariel's actions. Even after knowing that Callum had given the gown I ordered to Ariel, I only felt pity over losing a gown. However, she was now leaving traces of herself in my private space. I considered this a blatant provocation. It was the first time I had gotten so mad in our five years of marriage. All I wanted to do was slap Callum and kick him out of the car. After that, I would drive over to Ariel and slap her twice. Just as I was about to question Callum, his phone rang. He seemed not to have noticed my flushed face and accepted Ariel's call. When I adjusted my seat in annoyance, I heard him saying, "Okay. Don't get worked up. I'll head there right now." I stopped adjusting my seat and slowly looked up at him. Callum had his eyebrows furrowed as he spoke. "Ariel is trying to return the gown at the shop, but she doesn't have a receipt. I need to handle it. Nancy, I'll call the driver to fetch you back home." I replied in disbelief, "You're ditching me here for such a minor issue?" "Don't make things difficult for me, okay? She's a young and prideful woman. After what happened with you, she cried so hard she lost her voice. All she wants now is to return the gown," Callum explained. I snapped. "Is it pride, or does she just want to provoke me before you? Can't she come and get it herself?" Callum massaged his temples and sighed in frustration. "Nancy, is it necessary to make things difficult for a newcomer? When did you start throwing your weight around? You weren't like this before." The anger in my heart was replaced with an overwhelming sense of disappointment. I suddenly found the entire situation funny. "I'm throwing my weight around? Callum, you've never spoken up for another woman before me, including your mother. This is the first time." A look of disbelief flashed across his indifferent face as I continued, "When we got married, we made it clear that we wouldn't play around for the sake of our families' reputation. Are you going to break this rule for this woman?" Callum's expression turned indifferent. After pondering for a while, he chose to call the driver's number. He leaned over and calmly unbuckled my seatbelt. "Nancy, you're always so controlling. We're husband and wife, not just business partners. Outside of work, can’t you just try to be dependent on me like other wives for once? "After settling the issue with Ariel, I'll be staying at the Lawson residence. We all need to cool down." I finally realized what was going on. Callum was just anxious to flaunt his masculinity before another woman. Back then, Callum always talked about how he admired my decisiveness and assertiveness. Now that he was sick of me, he found a perfect excuse to pin the blame on me. I got out of the car without another word and watched as the black Maybach disappeared from view. Callum didn't appreciate the chance I had given him. Thus, I picked up the phone and called my best friend, Nina Brooks. "Nina, can you help me draft a divorce agreement?" I wouldn't have divorced Callum unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, my family and the Lawson family had been friends for decades. Callum and I had also known each other since we were young. It was just that we lost contact for about ten years when he went to study overseas.
