Three Years After My Husband's Death

Three years after my husband died,

he came back.

The problem is, I’m already with my husband’s younger brother.

Looking at my husband’s gentle smile, I hesitated for a long time before deciding to tell him the truth.

After all, ours had always been a marriage of convenience, and we’d both known it. Now he could finally stop worrying about me and go find the woman he’d always loved, without any burdens. I was sure my husband, even as a ghost, would be happy. My ex-husband, that is.

But as he looked at me encouragingly, my husband’s face slowly turned cold.

After staring at me for a long time, he finally said without expression:

“It’s all right, Zhiyu...” He stroked my head, his palm ice-cold. “I’ll teach that bastard some manners.”

My ex-husband seemed to think his younger brother had seduced me, or used some kind of trick to force me.

The problem was, I had been the one to approach his brother in the first place.

But seeing the dark, ghostly aura behind my ex-husband, I instinctively clamped my mouth shut.

Until his younger brother comes back, I’ll play the part of a dutiful wife, just like before.

After work, I open the front door. Today, too, my husband is waiting by the dining table in an apron, smiling at me.

We look just like an ordinary, loving couple.

But only I know that my phone, still awake in my pocket, is filling up with messages.

[Doggo]: Mission’s over. Taking some time to recover.

[Doggo]: I’ll be back in two weeks at most.

[Doggo]: I miss you, sis qvq. You’ve barely been talking to me lately. *sobs*

I don’t reply.

A chill runs through my palm.

My husband looks over, his eyes dark and inscrutable. He says each word with solemn care: “From now on, we’ll always be together like this.”

I don’t reply.
