Chapter 18
Kate took a deep breath after she slammed the door of the apartment behind her. She was still trying to process what had just happened.
She was furious with herself because, despite everything that had happened, everything that that man had done, she had to admit that she was still in love with Matt. Aside from her mother’s weak heart that prevented her from hearing bad news, it was her love for Matt that made Kate stay for so long despite him being a useless man.
All she ever wanted was to have a good life with Matt because he was her first in everything. Her first love, her first kiss, and the first and only man she gave herself to, at least until last night. In her mind, in the past, he was the ideal man, the man she dreamed to love and settle down with.
Kate thought she’d forget about Matt in just one night, but all those years spent together, the years they had been dating and later on the years they were married were simply too hard to erase.
There would be traces of him in her heart forever, good or bad.
"It’s time to move on, Kate," Kate reminded herself as she toughened up and hardened her heart. "There is no turning back, and you don’t want to tolerate his cheating. Don’t let him stomp your dignity."
Thus, Kate finally left. She put her luggage and bag inside her car and drove to her other apartment, where she would be staying from today until she decided to get a better place.
The moment Kate caught Matt cheating she had already made up her mind about divorcing him, but she just needed to time things right, her mother’s health kept getting worse each day and Kate wanted to protect her from the news.
"I don’t know what Mom will say if she finds out that Matt cheated with Erin. She might actually get a heart attack...." Kate murmured.
Aside from that, she also didn’t want to just hand over 50% of her wealth to Matt because he didn’t do anything to earn it.
He wasn’t even a good househusband, he didn’t clean or cook. He just called the housekeeping service once per three days, and ordered food through food delivery apps, all with her money, of course!
"Maybe I should call the bank and cancel my credit card. I don’t want to feed Matt’s and Erin’s filthy mouths with my hard-earned money," Kate wondered. She didn’t know how they would react, especially Erin.
