The 100Th Divorce Letter

Synopsis

For five years of marriage, Asher Cooper handed me ninety-nine divorce agreements, all to protect his so-called first love. Every single time, I went hysterical right in front of him. I tore the papers apart, cried, made a scene, even threatened to kill myself, all just to beg him to change his mind. Then one day, in a private room at a club, I accidentally overheard a conversation between him and his friends. "Kathy is really shamelessly persistent. Asher's been provoking her and tormenting her like that, yet she's still completely devoted to him. By the way, Asher, how's your condition now?" "Kathy will probably never know, even when she dies, that Asher only married her because of his emotional detachment disorder. All these years, the so-called first love was fake, the favoritism was fake too. Asher simply doesn't love anyone." Asher sat in the center of the sofa, looking every bit the untouchable gentleman. His fingers idly rubbed the diamond ring on his middle finger as he spoke in a lazy tone. "The condition hasn't improved. The doctor said I still need someone like Kathy. A woman who throws tantrums, makes a scene, and loves me so much that no matter how far I push her, she'll never leave. That's the only way the treatment works." Outside the door, I stood there frozen. And in that instant, it felt as if my years of terminal lovesickness were suddenly cured.
