The Wife He Forgot to Marry novel Chapter 11

She picked it up and opened it, recognizing Tallulah’s handwriting.

At the top of the page was the title: “One Hundred Things I Want to Do with Yulen.”

March 2nd: For my birthday, I want to see the Northern Lights with Yulen and kiss for ten minutes straight.

May 20th: I want Yulen to light up Victoria Harbour with fireworks all night long and propose to me.

July 14th: I want to go skydiving with Yulen in New Zealand. I’ll wear a wedding dress as we jump from fifteen thousand feet, making it a day he can never forget.

…

By the time Winona finished reading the list, tears were streaming down her face.

During all those days Yulen was away on “business,” he had been off doing all these things with Tallulah.

After they got married, he’d rarely planned anything romantic or surprising for her. He’d even stopped buying her flowers. Whenever he saw other couples’ romantic posts on social media, he would frown and say, “Winona, we’re different. We don’t need grand gestures to prove anything. A quiet, steady life suits us better.”

It wasn’t that he had forgotten how to be romantic. He was just saving his romance for another woman.

Winona shoved the journal back into the glove compartment and wiped her tears with a tissue.

When Yulen got in the car, he noticed her red-rimmed eyes. “Winona, what’s wrong? Have you been crying?”

She looked around, but after ten minutes, not a single taxi passed by. Helena and her husband, Matteo, could only afford a house in a remote area where cabs were scarce. With no other choice, she started walking.

Forty minutes later, she finally arrived at Helena’s complex. Wiping the sweat from her forehead, she rang the doorbell. From inside, she heard a man’s angry roar and a woman’s sharp sobs. Her heart tightened.

Just as she was about to knock, the door flew open. Matteo stormed out, his face a mask of fury, brushing past her without a word.

She hurried inside to find Helena crying on the sofa while Nikita stood by, red-eyed, holding her niece Greta. The living room was a complete mess.

Worried someone might get hurt, Winona first cleaned up the broken items on the floor before making lunch for everyone.

After the meal, Greta and Helena went to take a nap. Nikita took Winona’s hand and began to whisper, “It’s Helena’s fault, you know, being so headstrong. She’s always busy at the hospital and is never home. That’s why Matteo cheated. Now she wants a divorce and wants to leave him with nothing. He doesn’t want to split, so she’s making a scene. Honestly, what’s the point? If he’s willing to come back, they should just work it out… Helena is just so immature. A divorced woman with a child, who would want her?”
