📕“Sophie’s better than you—you’d only waste the spot.Apologize!”He didn’t know I knew he reported me

Описание: 00:00 Story 1: My husband reported me, gave my job to his first love, and forbade me from making a fuss.
"Sophie has a higher degree and better skills than you. Even if you went, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Why are you making such a scene, Elsa? You’ve really disappointed me."
He said this with a look of deep regret, as usual, expecting me to lower my head and apologize.
He thought I didn’t know. The one who had reported me was actually him.
I stared at him for a long time.
In a daze, I realized we had known each other for ten years, and our daughter was already six.
It seemed that all these years, I had been the one apologizing to Ethan.
On anniversaries, I would happily cook a big meal to celebrate, but when Ethan came home, his expression was always flat.
"The food is a bit too salty. It’s better downstairs."
When our daughter tried to slack off in her studies, I scolded her in frustration, but Ethan told me not to act like a shrew.
"Children have their pride too. Besides, what can you teach her with just a high school education?"
I ran up and down with my mother-in-law to the hospital, only to be scolded for not being attentive when I accidentally spilled a cup of water. Ethan turned around and berated me.
"Just because she’s not your biological mother doesn’t mean you shouldn’t show respect, Elsa! How can you have such poor character?"
…
All these little things, it seemed, had erased any happy memories.
46:08 Story 2: At the drinking party, Jax made his appearance again, and the group began playing a game of truth or dare.
Someone asked, "Is there anyone here who makes your heart race?"
Jax smiled calmly, not even a flicker in his dark eyes, and replied, "No."
I paused mid-motion as I reached for my glass, then lowered my eyes.
No one knew that years ago, the star of our school, the charismatic troublemaker Jax, had stopped me on a dim street corner.
"Mia?"
He flicked the cigarette butt in his hand and flashed a smirk, full of that cocky attitude: "Not bad, you're quite the charmer."
