Seven Years Abroad… My Husband Became Another Woman’s Perfect Husband

My husband had been working away for seven years. I traveled all the way to find him. But the moment I arrived, an old man stopped me and said coldly, “Derek? That’s my son-in-law.” People around him laughed, saying Derek was the town’s famous “perfect husband”—totally devoted to his wife. I froze. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Same name. Until I showed them his photo. Everyone nodded at once. “Yeah. That’s him.” My blood turned cold. No one knew I was his wife. They all thought I was some supervisor here to assign him work. Then a well-dressed woman walked up with a warm smile. “You’re here to see Derek about work, right?” “You can wait at our place. Our son has a fever—he took him to the city hospital.”
