This morning, my wife made me so angry that I’m honestly considering a divorce because I don’t see how I can stay with her after what she did!
Earlier today, she came back from her shop (she sells noodles in wholesale) with the kids. As soon as she entered the living room, I noticed she was holding a carton of a noodle brand.
Before I could say anything, she grabbed my hand and dragged me straight into the bedroom.
“Honey, what’s going on? Why are you dragging me?” I asked, confused.
She looked so tense, her hands shaking. Without saying a word, she opened the carton …. and what I saw made my breath seize!
“Shhhhhhhh!” she whispered, signaling me to keep quiet.
The carton was filled with bundles of dollars! 😱
Out of curiosity, I poured everything out …and true to my eyes, it was full of money.
I hugged my wife in excitement! At that moment, I saw our destiny changing before my very eyes. I was already calculating how we would relocate and start afresh abroad .
“Baby, I’m on night duty,” I told her. “When I get back in the morning, we’ll start planning how to move from this place.”
I took the carton from her and hid it safely under our bed.
All night, I was smiling like a fool at work.
I even tendered my resignation letter first thing in the morning.
By the time I reached house, I went straight to check under the bed.
the carton had disappeared.
I called my wife immediately.
“Baby, where is the carton?”
She said, calm and innocent, “I’m at the police station. I came to return the money because my conscience was disturbing me.”
Conscience ke?! 😭
At that moment, my spirit left my body. I was just staring at my phone like a ghost.
This woman has returned the money that would have changed our life!
And the worst part? I had already resigned from my job this morning!
