Kate paused for a moment. Her heart was aching not because she loved Matt, but because of his casual tone. He made it seem as if cheating was an ordinary thing and that Kate shouldn't be upset about it.
What made it worse was the way he tried to assure Kate that she would still be his "Official Wife."
As if he thought it was what she wanted.
Kate didn't turn around to confront him, she did not want Matt to see how much grief and pain his words gave her. So she simply continued packing her dresses and shoes inside her luggage and stayed silent, acting like she hadn't heard a single word coming out of his filthy mouth.
Matt clicked his tongue, "Why are you throwing a tantrum like this? You know well enough that I'm not sleeping with Erin by choice, right? This is all because of you, it's your fault, because you are barren and barely a woman!? You've failed to fulfill your responsibility, it's natural for me to find another woman to have a child with."
Kate clenched one of her dresses as she continued to ignore him. She knew that she'd get even more upset if she responded.
Matt's patience started to thin. He had been kind enough to explain their situation, and he thought that Kate should have at least understood his position.
Matt marched up behind her and grabbed her arm. He stopped her from finishing packing her things, "You know there is a lot of pressure from my mom. She wants to have a grandchild, and you can't give her that one simple request. Besides, Erin is your sister, right? She's the best candidate for me to have a child with, being sisters, you both naturally look similar and share the same genes. You shouldn't be upset about this, at least I chose her amongst dozen of women who want me."
Kate finally turned around and glared at Matt with her eyes red from holding back her tears.
Matt was startled when he saw the tears in the corner of her eyes. He thought that Kate was unaffected by the whole thing because she always looked cold and distant towards him in the entirity of their marriage.
But it seemed that he was wrong.
Kate tried to swallow her grief because she had already told herself plenty of times not to cry for this bastard.
"It doesn't matter whether it's my sister or a random hooker on the street. You still cheated. There is no justification in that," she replied with a hoarse voice.
"I am justified in all of this, had it not been because of your infertility, we wouldn't have come to this situation," Matt insisted.
"Oh yeah? What if you're the one who's infertile. We've never been medically tested because you always refused to do so!"
Matt's lips thinned, "You know it's your fault. When a married couple can't get pregnant, it's usually the woman's fault. Even everyone in our families is blaming you because you can't get pregnant."
"Kate, you should compensate me for your inability to conceive by allowing me to sleep with some woman outside. It's the least you could do–."
"THE LEAST?!" Kate raised her voice. But she quickly toned it down, knowing that getting angry at this ignorant man would be a waste of her time and energy.
She pushed Matt away from her and said, "So we are going traditional shit now? Then compensate me for your inability to get money! You haven't earned a dime since last year!"
Matt's eyes darkened, "You know that I've been trying my best. Acting gigs are hard to get in LA. There are so many new actors with connections, and they're making the competition more and more difficult for me. You're nitpicking at this point."
Usually, Kate would shut up after Matt mentioned that he had already tried his best. The excuse for why he failed was that the competition was fierce, or he didn't have any connections, or that the role was given to someone more popular, there was always an excuse.
But then she remembered the mysterious man from last night.
He was effortlessly handsome, unreal even, charming, and a total show-stealer even when he was already half drunk. That man reminded Kate that Matt was not on par in any aspect, and the probability of him succeeding in the entertainment industry was close to zero.
While Matt was handsome in the traditional sense, he lacked the charisma that mysterious man had, and that was absolutely necessary when you were in the acting industry.
Thus, Kate toughened her heart and finally answered back, "You know that you've failed to break through the industry, yet you refused to find another job. You forced me to work my ass off, and I did. I wanted to be a good wife for you, Matt. But it's not enough, right?"
Kate returned to her luggage and zipped it. All she needed was in her bag. She didn't care about most of her clothes because she could always buy new ones.
Among the clothes she kept, however, were her dresses and evening gowns. Things that she wore only when she thought she could to impress her husband when they were having a night out and in bed.
But it wasn't enough to keep him interested, it seemed.
"So be it, I will just leave this apartment and we will live separate lives. If you want to fuck Erin—or whatever hooker you may find, then do it. But I will not tolerate your bullshit, I'll begin to process the divorce. My lawyer will be in touch."

Kate dragged her heavy luggage out of the master bedroom. But was stopped at the door because Matt refused to move out of the way, blocking her from leaving.
"Move," Kate said with a commanding voice.
Matt's lips thinned as he thought hard about how to keep her in the room. He truly believed that Kate was just throwing a tantrum. She made this problem bigger than it actually was.
"You're seriously throwing a tantrum over something so simple? Do you know how childish it is that you are leaving me because I slept with your sister once?" Matt scolded. "And don't get me started with that divorce bullshit. You know that you won't be able to divorce me."
"Don't test me, Matt," Kate said. "You make it sound as if divorcing you is a difficult thing to do. You bring NOTHING to the table. You're not a good househusband, not a breadwinner, and you're not even loyal. I have 1001 reasons to leave you, but I don't, because—"
"Because you still love me, right?" Matt completed her sentence confidently as he smiled knowing that he was right.
Matt sighed and shook his head, he made it seem like he actually pittied Kate because of how she felt. "I know you're hopeless. Just stop this tantrum, okay? I know you love me too much to leave me."
Kate gritted her teeth and pushed her heavy luggage, crushing Matt's toe with the wheel.
"Ouch! Ouch! Urgh!" Matt fell on the floor, groaning as he felt a sharp, aching pain on his toe. "You—"
"Don't flatter yourself, Matt," Kate said as she pushed the luggage out the door. "The reason why I didn't leave you sooner is because of my mother. I don't want her to be sad. I didn't want her to know that I chose the wrong man to marry. I wouldn't even have dated you back then, if I had known that you'd become a deadbeat who can't even keep his two-inch dick in his pants."
"You!" Matt wanted to catch up to Kate, who was marching away from him, but his toe was in so much pain that he couldn't even stand up. "You'll regret this, Kate! You know that you're the problem here! I wouldn't even need to sleep with Erin if you could give me a baby!"
Kate stopped in her tracks and clenched her fist, she wanted so badly to punch that bastard for stupid stuff coming out of his mouth. But Kate was not an idiot, she knew he might charge her with domestic abuse as he fabricated some false charges against her.
It wasn't worth the trouble in the end.
So she tried to ignore him as she continued to walk across the foyer.
Matt got angrier when he saw Kate seemed to be unaffected by his words. He was willing to be patient because Kate was the breadwinner, but she should also respect him!
He was the man of the house! Of course, she should know her place as a woman and a wife!
"You should know that I would never have cheated on you if you at least cared for me!" Matt yelled. "You're so busy with your job that you don't even have time to serve me anymore!"
Kate felt like her heart had been stabbed by Matt's words.
At the begining of their marriage she dedicated everything for him. She never had plans of working so much. Her plan was to be a homemaker while doing a part-time job on the side, so she could have time with her husband and, hopefully, her baby.
But his career wasn't taking off. They were short of money because he refused to find another job. All he wanted to do was to attend auditions when he felt like it. Hence, she had to work like a dog to support the both of them. She was planning to work nonstop until she had saved enough for an early retirement to finally spend more time with Matt.
But her dreams had been crushed by Matt and this deadbeat still had the audacity to blame her!
So she finally turned around and glared at Matt, still kneeling on the floor as he nursed what was in reality just a small injury, "I did everything for us! I worked my ass off so I could give you a good life because you couldn't even find a job! God, why are you so entitled!?"
"Entitled?! It's my right as your husband for you to serve me!" Matt yelled back. "It's your responsibility to become a good housewife after work, and you're still obliged to take care of your looks! Why do I have to see you looking like an old witch every time you return home? Do you think that even excites me?"
"Oh my god! Have you ever looked in a mirror? Just look at your figure, you have a belly that makes you look like you're the one that's pregnant! And look at your clothes, all you wear is a stained shirt, you are always unshaved and musty as hell, and you still have the audacity to call me a witch? You look like a fucking gremlin!" Kate finally snapped. "Ugh, I'm so done with you, Matt. Please just shut up before I fucking slap your musty-ass-face!"
Kate quickly dragged her luggage away despite Matt's protest. He wanted to argue more because he thought Kate was being seriously unreasonable. But she kept ignoring him and slammed the door behind her as she left.
"You bitch!" Matt shouted. But Kate was not there anymore to take the beating. "Urgh, just wait until I get my big break, you will regret ever saying those words to me, you ungrateful bitch!"
Matt is musty as hell x_x
