My Magic Made Me Forget My Cheating Husband

Im a private investigator specializing in catching cheating spouses.

I was out on a job with a client, helping her corner her cheating boyfriend.

The moment she snapped photos of him with another woman and sent them over, she dialed his number in a raging fury.

The next second, my husbands voice came through the phone. Baby, dont be mad, because youre a mistress too!

His voice was careless, with a hint of amusement.

My client froze. What do you mean?

The voice on the other end was unusually calm. There are seven mistresses ahead of you, and my wife is only Aria.

Aria was my name.

Besides me, youre seeing seven other women, and you have a wife, so why did you come after me?

Her hand trembled as she held the phone, and her voice burned with overwhelming rage.

Ethan Carter chuckled softly, his cool tone carrying a lazy indifference.

My wife isnt young anymore, but men will always like something fresh and exciting, and at least youre young and interesting enough to play with.

Hah!

When my client heard this, she suddenly laughed from pure fury.

Her name is Aria, right? What do you think will happen if I tell her you have eight women outside? Since you dont love me, then well go down together.

Baby, dont do something that will make both of us unhappy.

Everyone has the day when they grow old and lose their looks, so why care whether I love you or not? Why not take advantage of your youth and get more money out of me?

His voice carried a bone-chilling coldness, and his tone turned icy almost instantly.

My client clenched her phone and said through gritted teeth, You bastard!

A low laugh came from the phone, and his calm tone held a deep chill.

If my Aria finds out you exist, you will die a very ugly death, and I will shelve you, blacklist you, and from then on, no director will ever use you again.

Her body trembled violently, and unwillingness filled her eyes before she finally forced out one sentence after a long while. Im pregnant!

The moment those words fell, my pupils shrank hard, and the other end of the phone seemed to go silent for a long time.

She lifted her chin and suddenly threw out another line. But Im planning to get rid of it, so let your wife give birth for you!

She cant give birth! Ethans voice was terrifyingly cold. Give birth to the child!

Then what about my status?

Her eyes were bloodshot. An illegitimate child?

Ill convince her and make her think the child is an orphan, and shell agree to adopt it, so shell raise this child for you.

Ethans tone was as calm as if he were discussing todays weather. You can also try to refuse me, and you can give it a try.

My heart sank to the bottom, because my uterus had been destroyed years ago when a female client of his, jealous of me while he was starting his business, drugged me.

Back then, blood covered the floor, and I could never have children again.

He held my hand, stabbed himself, and cried as he said, Aria, Im sorry.

After that, he used that clients resources to close a contract and climb his way up step by step.

When he became a powerful figure capable of turning the entire industry upside down, the first thing he did was ruin that female client until she lost everything and ended up on the streets.

Back then, he knelt before me and cried like a child. Aria, I got revenge for you!

I came back to myself and looked at the woman in front of me, who was a new actress in the entertainment industry, Chloe Bennett.

She suddenly let out a cold laugh. Then between your wife and me, who do you love most? Its me, right?

Love you?

Ethan gave a mocking laugh, as if he had heard some kind of joke.

If I loved you, would I not marry you? If I loved you, would I keep you outside like this? If I loved you, would I let you be the other woman?

So you love your wife more?

Hatred churned in Chloes eyes, then quickly turned into a smile. Youre generous with money and low-maintenance, so I dont seem to have any reason to leave you, but believe it or not, Ill make you fall in love with me.

Do whatever you want, but dont mess around until my child dies!

After Ethan said that, he hung up directly.

I did not know how I said goodbye to my client, and I only returned to the villa Ethan and I shared in a daze.

I picked up my phone and sent Ethan a message. Ethan, do you love me?

He replied almost instantly.

Ethan: [Just landed, and I brought my baby a gift, so of course I love you.]

Below that were several blowing-kiss stickers, and the gift was the dress I had loved for a long time, the only one in the world, which had been bought by someone else at an auction.

I endured the nausea in my heart and sent him another message. You know Im a descendant of witches, and before I went down the mountain with you, the clan leader placed a curse on me, so once I know you betrayed me, I will gradually forget every memory related to you.

The next second after the message was sent, the door opened, and Ethans handsome face appeared before my eyes.

He came over and hugged me, burying his head against the side of my neck. Baby, I missed you so much.

Ethan, do you love me?

I looked into his eyes and forced each word out of my throat.

He pinched my cheek. Who else would I love if not you?

Then what about the other eight? I looked at him and sneered. You gave your love to me, so what are they supposed to do?

The air around us seemed to fall into dead silence, and after a long time, he finally lifted his head, the smile in his eyes vanishing instantly. You know everything?

Why? I looked at him, unable to stop my tears from falling.

He sat down calmly. Because youre old, and youre no longer young, while men all like young women, so its that simple.

When we got married, you said that if you betrayed me, I could kill you. My whole body trembled uncontrollably.

He stood up, picked up the fruit knife on the table, and calmly handed it to me. You can stab me as many times as you want, until your anger is gone.

I took the fruit knife, but then it slid weakly from my hand. Why, because I cant get pregnant? You said you didnt mind!

I really dont mind!

He reached out and carefully wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes.

I said that as long as you betrayed me, I would leave you.

I looked at him, and both physically and emotionally, I would leave him.

He curled his lips carelessly. But baby, youre not young anymore, and Ive already had you so many times, so no one else will take over.

Your parents are dead, your clan doesnt want you, and only by staying with me can you avoid being all alone, so Im not afraid youll leave, because you will definitely come back!

Listening to his words, I felt for the first time that the person before me was so unfamiliar. But did you forget? I have a curse on me, and if you betray me, I will forget you!

Then forget the fact that I cheated first!

He helped me up from the floor and covered me with a blanket.

Over the years, taking care of me seemed to have become his habit, and he would not forget even when we fought.

He rubbed my head. Youre not a kid anymore, so dont use that kind of childrens story to fool me!

With them, Im just chasing a moment of novelty, and absolutely no woman will ever threaten you!

He kissed my lips. If any woman dares to come in front of you, I will abandon her without hesitation.

Then will you abandon Chloe too?

I looked at him. Shes carrying your child, right?

The smile on his face stopped, and then he stood up and looked down at me. Are you interrogating me? You cant give birth, so is it wrong for me to find someone else to have a child?

Ethan, lets get divorced.

I looked at him and forced out every word with difficulty.

He crouched down, and his gaze turned gentle again. The one I love is still you, and once Im tired of playing, Ill still come back.

No one will wait for you in the same place!

I stared hard at him.

His tone was unconcerned. But you will, wont you? Because you have nowhere else to go.

I did not want to look at him anymore, so I turned and left without looking back.

That night, I felt my entire body turn frighteningly cold, and I desperately tried to hold on to some memories, but they were still ruthlessly pulled away.

The next morning, when I got up, I kept feeling like I had forgotten something, but I could not remember what it was.

I walked to the living room, and Ethan was in the kitchen making oatmeal for me, looking at me with a gentle gaze. The divorce agreement is on the table.

You want to divorce me?

My gaze froze, and I lifted my head to look at him with trembling eyes. Why?

He lowered his eyes and looked at me with some amusement. Forgot?

He nodded as if he understood, then picked up the divorce agreement. I wasnt planning to divorce anyway, and since youve given me a way out, Ill take it.

After he said that, he tore up the agreement directly.

I looked at him in shock, and he stepped forward, wrapped an arm around my waist, and kissed my lips.

I have something to do on our wedding anniversary today, so later Ill have my best friend, Ryan, keep you company.

Where are you going? I grabbed him.

He chuckled. You know where Im going, and Ill make it up to you tomorrow, but today I have to go with her for a prenatal checkup.

I looked at him in confusion, wondering whose prenatal checkup he was going to accompany.

He chuckled softly. See, yesterday you were the one making a fuss about divorce, and now youre the one who cant bear to let go, so stop acting up, because once you leave me, youll be the first one who cant take it.

I did not know what he was talking about, and I only knew he called Ryan.

Yeah, were not divorcing again, and shes pretending to have amnesia, so now that she gave me a way out, how could I not take it?

Ryans voice came from the other end of the phone.

That curse is just something to fool kids with, and even if she really forgot, Im also a descendant of witches, so I can just undo it for her, right?

I actually hope she really forgot!

Ethan placed the dessert in front of me. Let her love me a little less for now, and when Ive had enough fun and come back, she can remember me again, and Ill have a little more freedom too.

Ryan teased him for dreaming too big, asking where in the world there was such a good thing that someone could forget whenever they wanted and remember whenever they wanted.

Before Ethan left, he told the housekeeper to put less sugar in my food, because I did not like sweets.

Looking at everything in front of me, I seemed to understand that I must have lost a section of my memory.

But I would only gradually lose my memory when Ethan no longer loved me.

So he had betrayed me.

Just as I was thinking, the next second, Ryan pushed the door open and came in. Aria, I brought you your favorite fruit wine.

I walked downstairs, and he looked at me, always good at reading people and choosing the words I liked to hear.

Back then, when you and Ethan were living under a bridge together, you worked three jobs by yourself for his startup, and whenever you were exhausted, you loved having a sip of fruit wine.

He poured me a glass. Its still the old flavor, and the owner of that fruit wine shop had already retired, but Ethan spent three hundred thousand dollars and forced the owner to teach him how to make it.

I took a sip and immediately choked from how harsh it was.

He didnt retire, did he? His shop probably went bankrupt because he couldnt sell this stuff!

What did you say?

Ryans gaze suddenly froze, and his eyes widened. Back then, this fruit wine was your favorite, and you said it could make you remember a lot of old things!

Also, can you not make me sound like the female lead of some tragic drama?

I glared at him. Ethan is so rich, so how could we have lived under a bridge before?

This time, his eyes widened even more, and they were full of shock. You two had no money when you started the business, and Ethan only became rich ten years ago, and the first thing he did after making it was marry you!

Ethan and I have only been married for five years, so where did ten years come from?

I looked at him and smiled lazily. All right, I need to go to the hospital.

No, thats not right, this isnt right!

Ryan stopped me. Aria, you dont remember.

I changed my shoes and said helplessly, I remember, I remember everything, okay? I need to go to the hospital for a checkup.

After saying that, I ignored the panic in Ryans eyes, got up, and headed to the hospital.

I had just gotten into the car when, the next second, my client Chloe sent me a set of photos, showing a man supporting her as she had a fetal checkup outside the maternity room.

I was just about to congratulate her when, the next second, I realized those hands looked somewhat familiar.

Chloe: [He said youre like a dead fish in bed, and in the end, youre old now, so he cant even get hard when he sees your face.]

Chloe: [I heard today is your wedding anniversary, so happy anniversary, but Im borrowing your husband.]

Looking at that message, the blood in my body turned bone-cold, and I ran to the hospital like a madwoman.

When I saw that familiar figure, my heart went cold.

Then arent you afraid your wife will see this and divorce you?

Chloe nestled in his arms like a docile little wildcat.

Ethan took the pen the nurse handed him and wrote his name in the father column.

Weve been together for twenty years, and weve long been used to each other, so where could she go if she left me?

Youve loved each other for twenty years, so why did you betray her? She tugged at his tie, her tone coy.

Ethan pinched her face. Havent you heard enough? Shes old, and her looks have faded, so I cant feel desire when I look at her, but I wont divorce her, because I still love her!

Men really do want everything!

Chloe punched his chest lightly. You want the bright freshness of a young woman, and you also want the long companionship of someone who has been through everything with you!

So dont show up in front of her, and that will be good for both of us! Ethan lightly pecked her lips.

Chloe pouted, and he opened his mouth to comfort her, but when he lifted his head, his gaze landed on me, and his expression suddenly froze. Aria?

I heard everything.

I looked at him as tears streamed down. You have a child outside, you cheated with her, and you betrayed me.

Ethan walked toward me in panic and grabbed my hand. Be good, dont make a scene!

I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes and shook off his hand. Ethan, lets get divorced!

But to my surprise, he was not afraid and instead looked at me calmly with a cold face. Is this fun?

What? I did not understand what he meant.

He gradually closed in on me and forced me into the corner. Im asking you, is it fun to keep using divorce to threaten me?

He gripped my chin and forced me to lift my head and look up at him. Youre not young anymore, so stop acting like a child looking for attention, asking me for a divorce today, then regretting it tomorrow and pretending to have amnesia.

Ethan! Ryans voice suddenly came from behind us, and he anxiously separated us, panting heavily. Aria, something is wrong with her.

Ethan said nothing and motioned for him to continue. Aria, she seems to have really forgotten
