coming back ex-husband

Chapter 4 - Assistant

Ethan rolled up his sleeves, revealing his skinny arms, "I'll cook tonight."
"Apron." Ruby took the apron hanging on the shelf and unfolded it. She wanted to tie him. "It can protect your white shirt from oil slashing."
Ethan glanced at her, then turned around. She put on the apron for him quickly.
The large apron was supposed to suit both of them to work. Although he was tall, he was still rather comical in it.

Ruby didn’t leave, just leaning on the door and looking at his busy figure, with good manners and education, even doing housework was particularly eye-catching. "Hum, why did you come back today."
Although the two reached a consensus that he would have to go home every Sunday unless he was on a business trip. Ruby had thought that he would probably not be back today as he returned yesterday.
“It’s Sunday today.”He was busy washing the vegetables without turn his head.
"Oh." Her eyes turned dimmed.
As expected, if it wasn't for the contract, he wouldn't have come back for his home, right?
"Did you call me this morning?" Ethan asked and explain incidentally, "The assistant answered and told me. I realize that it was you after checking my phone."
Assistant?
Would any assistant call their boss as' Ethan 'so intimately?
"I just want to ask if you're coming back." Ruby still did not ask why didn’t he save her number. Since his explanation made she feel uncomfortable, she turned around and went to the living room.
Ruby browsed WhatsApp for a while out of boredom, then she felt upset and couldn't help but open Google.
When she returned to God, she found what she typed was "why didn’t my husband save my number", or "the assistant called my husband intimately" and so on.
When she came back to her senses, she found that Google is "husband does not have my number why", or "husband assistant to husband close" and so on.
She couldn't help but click on the lists of replies. 'your husband is cheating, you should be careful’, ’check your husband's phone to collect evidence for divorce, so that you can get a bit more money at least. She smiled with an acerbic feeling.
At this time, Ethan came out with dishes, and shout to her, "Come and eat."
"Alright." Ruby turned off her phone hurriedly.
The two of them had always been eating in silence. She looked at Ethan frequently, her eyes were complicated, but she said anything.
After dinner, he washed the dishes and returned to his bedroom.
He should be very busy lately. He lied in bed after taking a shower. When she returned with a mask on her face, he was already asleep with turning back on her, Ruby felt like they were separated by a mountain.
Ruby was staring at his phone on the bedside table. After standing there for a long time, she finally could not hold back and brought it quietly.
She knew the password as she had taken photos with his phone.
After entering the password, Ruby browsed through it casually, there was nothing but some business mails which she did not understand.
The text message made her stop breathing.
There was a text message of just a few words which has been read, [Ethan, thank you for today. I will treat you to a good meal when you have time.]
Sherry?
Was it the assistant's name? Or another woman?
Ruby wasn’t sure what she felt seeing this message. If it’s not an important message, he would have deleted it early. She turned off the phone and put it back on the bedside table.
Seeing his broad back, Ruby couldn't help but to reach out and hug around his waist.
In the next second, her hands were gently pulled out, and the man even moved to the other side, intentionally getting away from her.
Ruby was sore by that.
He had longed for her endlessly last night, but he has rejected a hug today.
Was there nothing between them but the marriage certificate and his physical needs?
Ruby thought if the work about her father was finished, he might propose a divorce.
She was too tired to wait for 4 years.
