##Chapter 1

Everyone on the research team said that Richard Ben loved me dearly.

My skin was very sensitive. I couldn't have direct contact with people, and I also found it hard to conceive.

To protect me from any pain, Richard would always wear double protection whenever we made love.

He also claimed publicly that he was the one who could not have children and that he did not like kids.

He did not know that I was a scientist from the future, who chose to stay in this era because of my love for him.

He had no money for his research experiments, so I secretly invested in his company while concealing my identity.

However, one day, when I went to bring him afternoon tea, I found him embracing a female colleague. His hand was slipping inside her neckline.

The female colleague tightly wrapped her arms around Richard's waist, sitting on his lap.

"Richard, isn't Susan's chest warm?" The colleagues seemed accustomed to their intimacy and even joked with laughter.

Richard immediately responded with a laugh, "Don’t be ridiculous, but yes, the feeling of freely kneading is really great."

My blood froze, and my heart felt shattered.

I contacted my colleagues from the future. "I want to go back."

They immediately replied, "Okay, the time-space ship will dock under Moonview Bluff in five days."

I watched through the glass window as Richard tightly embraced Susan Robeson. Their bodies pressed together as they kissed obliviously to their surroundings.

Susan’s face flushed with enjoyment as she tilted her head back, her arms encircling Richard’s neck.

They were so engrossed that they didn’t notice me standing there.

Richard grunted softly and pushed Susan against the lab table, one hand around her waist and the other squeezing her buttocks.

"Richard, am I more seductive than your wife?" Susan asked with a laugh.

Unexpectedly, Richard seemed a bit annoyed as he let go of her. "Don’t bring her up at such times! She is precious like a treasure. Do you think I would treat her so roughly?"

"And you, it seems you enjoy being treated roughly by me," he said while grabbing Susan’s breast harder.

Susan moaned in pleasure. "I like how rough you are with me. It’s thrilling."

The others around started teasing, "Should we leave the office to you guys? We’ll step outside."

"Sure," Richard said with an excited sparkle in his eyes.

After recording everything, I then made a video call to Richard.

Richard answered immediately. The screen shook as he aimed the camera at his face. His breathing was slightly heavy.

I saw him still holding Susan by the waist, his fingers sliding over her body.

Even while talking to me, he couldn’t bear to leave her?

"What’s up? Jessie," he asked me.

"Nothing, I wanted to see what you were doing." I tried to maintain calmness.

"I'm just stretching my arms in the office after sitting too long."

When he saw that my background wasn’t home, he visibly tensed up.

"Jessie, aren’t you at home? Where are you?"

His gaze shifted towards the window outside.

I had already hidden myself. My back pressed against a white wall. "I’m at the supermarket, buying groceries. Didn't you say you wanted steak? It’s too noisy inside. I’m in the fire exit."

Richard immediately relaxed. "Jessie, I love you so much. I miss your pan-fried steak."

After hanging up, Richard pushed Susan onto the office desk and entered her forcefully.

Watching this scene made my breathing difficult. My heart felt as if it had plunged into the deepest depths of hell.

We had been married for three years. I always thought Richard loved me deeply, and for his sake, I gave up returning to the future.

I made various excuses to stay in this world just to spend more moments with him.

Now I realized he had betrayed our marriage long ago.

In this marriage, I was just a joke.

I threw all the afternoon tea into the dumpster and turned away.
