Love fades away novel

After six years of marriage, my husband's childhood friend, Sarah Jensen, posted photos of them cuddling each other on Instagram with a sweet sentence: [It's a well-known secret that I like you.]I gave her a like, and my husband, Reginald Sinclair, called me immediately.We are friends. What's wrong with a hug? Why are you so weird, Grace? Your pretentious behavior really makes me sick!Three minutes later, Sarah posted another photo of the two hugging and kissing.If it were in the past, I would have cried in front of Reginald and made a scene.But this time, I didn't care about it anymore....It was my sixth wedding anniversary with Reginald, and he said he'd be late.I thought he was preparing a surprise for me, so I happily prepared a table full of his favorite dishes.But until nightfall, I didn't see Reginald.It was not until I saw Sarah's post on Instagram that I realized that he only remembered Sarah's birthday and not our wedding anniversary.When Reginald came home, I had already begun to eat.He frowned as he looked at my leisurely appearance."Why don't you wait for me to come back for dinner?"I ignored him. Reginald touched his nose awkwardly, sat down next to me, and tasted the dish."Why is it so salty? Your cooking skills are getting worse and worse. You've done nothing at home every day."Reginald suddenly threw his fork down and stared at me with dissatisfaction.If it were in the past, I would apologize to him humbly and cook it again for him.But now, I didn't want to pay any attention to him at all.Seeing that I didn't say anything, Reginald took out a bottle of perfume and put it on the table."You are not still angry with me, are you? I bought it specially for you. Don't be so pretentious.""Well."I took the perfume and took a look at it. The word "gift" in the lower right corner caught my eye.Reginald seemed to be paying less and less attention to me, and even his perfunctory attitude was not good enough.He could forget our anniversary, but he couldn't forget Sarah's birthday.But the perfume looked more and more familiar. I suddenly remembered that it was in the photos Sarah had posted today.I raised my hand and smashed the perfume, and Reginald's face became gloomy."I never wear this perfume. Don't you realize it is a gift?"Reginald suddenly pulled me up and stared at me."Grace, what are you doing? I've already bowed my head. What do you want? I've told you so many times. Sarah is just my childhood friend!""Don't touch me. Get off me!"My hand was pulled so hard that it hurt. I struggled but fell to the ground, and the perfume fragments pierced my skin.There was a cut on my leg, and blood was flowing out. I frowned in pain and glared at Reginald in dissatisfaction.There was a flash of panic in his eyes, and his expression was a bit stiff."Why... Why didn't you dodge? Damn. You're so troublesome. I'll take you to the hospital."I wanted to refuse him. But the pain from the wound made it impossible for me to be stubborn, so I could only nod.Just as I sat in the passenger seat, I noticed the lipstick left on the seat.Neither the brand nor the color was the one I had ever bought. Sarah was demonstrating to me.Reginald also saw the lipstick, and his expression changed slightly."I think Sarah dropped it off when I dropped her off this morning. Don't think too much about it."I looked away, ignoring him, just hoping that Reginald could drive faster.Seeing this, Reginald snorted and started the car.The atmosphere was awkward, and the silence was broken by the unique ringtone Reginald set for Sarah.He pulled over and answered Sarah's call at once with a smile."Reginald, I suddenly have a stomachache. Can you take me to the hospital?"Hearing Sarah's crying voice, he immediately frowned."I just happen to be going to the hospital. Stay home, and I'll pick you up right away."Reginald pressed his lips with a nervous expression and changed direction directly to Sarah's home.I looked down at my bloody calf and frowned.When we arrived downstairs at Sarah's house, Reginald asked me to wait for him and ran upstairs nervously.Then, I waited for half an hour.

I was getting impatient and was about to push the car door open to go out when Reginald came back.He held Sarah in his arms and placed her in the back seat carefully.I frowned unconsciously. I had just limped into the car by myself.And Sarah was carried to the car in his arms.I hadn't seen such a gentle and considerate look from Reginald for many years.Sarah's eyes instantly turned red the moment she saw me, and she looked at me innocently."Grace, I'm sorry. I had a severe stomachache so I asked Reginald to pick me up. I hope you won't be angry.""Why should she be angry? Sarah, you don't need to apologize to her. She's almost thirty years old and still petty," said Reginald.Before I could say anything, he glared at me with disgust.He used to dislike me like this, and I would cry out of grievance back then.But I didn't care about Sarah's provocation or Reginald's disgust now.Maybe I was immune to them.After arriving at the hospital, Reginald stopped the car and picked up Sarah, making Sarah blush."I'll take Sarah to the internal medicine department first. Wait here for a while."Then, Reginald turned and left with the slightly dissatisfied Sarah.Even if my leg were broken, he probably wouldn't come.I limped towards the emergency department.The wound on my leg was getting more painful due to the tearing. Before I reached the emergency department, my legs went weak, and I fell heavily to the ground."Grace, what are you doing? Didn't I ask you to wait for me in the car?"Reginald's angry voice sounded. He rushed to me and pulled me up.I shook off his hand and looked at him mockingly."One hour or two hours?""Enough! Grace, is it so difficult for you to bow your head to me?"Reginald suddenly got angry at me. He picked me up despite my resistance and walked towards the emergency department.The doctor frowned as he bandaged my wound. When everything was done, he glanced at Reginald.He said with a reproachful tone, "What did you do? The wound is torn like this. Did you let her walk here on her own?"Reginald didn't listen to the doctor but kept frowning and looking at his phone.Not long after, he cleared his throat, and his eyes wandered."I'll go see Sarah first."I nodded indifferently. It seemed that Sarah acted coquettishly towards him again.The doctor looked at Reginald's back and reasoned with me earnestly."Your boyfriend doesn't care about you enough. You need to talk to him."I lowered my eyes and smiled, not answering the doctor.What a pity! Reginald and I had been married for six years.However, it would stop in the sixth year.After completing a series of examinations, I washed my face in the bathroom to calm my bad mood.Sarah patted my shoulder from behind, and her sweet voice was sickening."Grace? Why are you so embarrassed when Reginald is not around?"Sarah looked at me with a sneer and wiped the hand that had patted me with a handkerchief.She had always looked down on me, but it was normal.In everyone's eyes, I was just a plaything of Reginald.

"I don't know why Reginald fell in love with you. If I were you, I would have stopped bothering him a long time ago."Sarah stood opposite me with her arms folded. The disgust in her eyes was apparent.Initially, I had thought that being arrogant and overbearing was her usual style. But later, I found out that it was because Reginald was willing to spoil her.I imitated her, raised my eyebrows, and retorted to her in a sarcastic tone."I'm no match for you, Ms. Jensen. You're just a mistress.""How dare you scold me? You bitch! You're courting death!"Sarah rushed over and grabbed my collar. I could only look up at her."If I hadn't quarreled with Reginald, would it have been your turn?"She then grabbed my hair and shook me hard, swearing dirty and harsh.When Reginald and I got married, he and Sarah had been quarreling.And I only knew about her after we had gotten married.Sarah believed that she was Reginald's true love, and Reginald never denied it.We had just gotten married when Sarah returned to him.The first time I saw Reginald and Sarah holding hands, he told me it was because he lost the Truth or Dare game.Later, Sarah began to share photos of her and Reginald on social platforms. Reginald said that they were just taking photos as friends.And now the so-called good friends developed into good friends who could kiss each other.No matter if I tried to please him or cried and made a scene, Reginald would scold me for being unreasonable.But luckily, I was ready to let it go.Not long after, Sarah suddenly let go of my hand. I subconsciously stepped back. But she fell to the ground."Grace! What did you do to Sarah?"Reginald's angry voice came from behind.He picked up Sarah, who was lying on the ground with tears in her eyes and looked at me with disgust in his eyes.But when Sarah pulled me just now, she had pulled my wound. I didn't want to bother with them any longer and just wanted to leave."Who allowed you to leave, Grace? You are becoming more unbridled. Am I too lenient towards you?"Reginald grabbed me with such force that I staggered.In the past, Reginald would worry about me because of minor injuries.But now, the object of his concern became Sarah.The more I looked at Reginald, the more unfamiliar he seemed to me.His eyes were full of anger, and he completely ignored my furrowed brow and gaping wound."Reginald, Grace was spoiled by you. I am not angry with her. I just want to go home."Sarah glanced at my bleeding wound. She frowned, pulled Reginald's arm, and shook it like a spoiled child.Reginald's frown relaxed because of her words. But when he looked back at me, there was still disgust in his eyes."I warn you. You'd better behave yourself and stop making me angry.""I think you should teach your sweetheart how to behave."Sarah's acting skills were pretty good. She was the perpetrator, but she could pretend to be a victim.I looked at Sarah with mockery, and Reginald's face instantly became gloomy.Just when I thought Reginald was going to speak up for Sarah once again, he remained silent.I followed his gaze and saw my bleeding wound."You... Forget it. Be good these days."This time, Reginald didn't scold me as usual. He just hugged Sarah and walked out.Sarah hid in his arms, smiled at me provocatively, and moved her mouth."Reginald is mine for the rest of his life."I just felt childish and funny looking at her in this puppyish, food-guarding way.Since she liked Reginald so much, she could just take him away.After all, I hadn't liked him for a long time.
