My Husband And His Assistant Said I'm Close-minded

My husband and his employees went on a camping trip, and his assistant posted on social media. [We drew lots for the tents, and guess who ended up with the handsome CEO!]

The post showed a selfie she took. Behind her, my husband was taking his shirt off.

Someone left a comment. [A man and a woman alone together? Sounds juicy.]

The assistant quickly replied with a smirking emoji. [I like a little excitement!]

After I liked the post, it was deleted right away. Soon, my husband called me on video.

In front of his crying assistant and several employees, he scolded, “Why did you like the post?! It was just a game! Don’t be so close-minded!”

As I watched him hold the assistant in arms and comforted her, I quietly hung up. After ten years of loving Caelan Sullivan, I decided then and there to let go.

When Caelan Sullivan got home, I was packing for the camping trip.

I had loved hiking since I was young, and Caelan knew that.

I begged him for a long time to let me join this trip, and he finally agreed.

But just before we were supposed to leave, he changed his mind.

With a disgusted look, he said, “You’re a cripple. Why do you want to climb a mountain? Why do you always do things that embarrass me?”

Then, he walked off without looking back.

Something I had been excited about for six months fell through just because he said it was “embarrassing”.

Caelan kicked the stuff on the floor and said irritably, “You do nothing but sit around all day. Can’t you at least clean up the house? It’s a mess!”

He threw a jewelry box at me. “It’s for you. Isabel helped me pick it out. Open it.”

The red velvet box looked exquisite, but I had seen it in Isabel Turner’s post before.

It was a selfie of her wearing a necklace worth millions of dollars.

Behind her, Caelan was smiling as he paid for it.

I remembered the caption. [The CEO asked me to help him pick out a necklace, and then he gave it to me. What’s that supposed to mean?]

Other people eagerly responded.

[What else could it mean? It was obviously meant for you!]

[He’s being straightforward! The cold CEO is being direct!]

I recognized the necklace.

The valuable one was the one Isabel took, and the box I had only contained a freebie.

“Thanks, but I don’t like it.”

I closed the box and threw it in the trash can.

Caelan got angry when he saw me do this.

“Isabel picked it out for you because she meant well! Don’t be so ungrateful!

“Pick it up right now! Do you hear me?!”

I stood still and did not move.

To my surprise, Caelan walked over, shoved me hard, and yelled, “Nellie, you stupid cripple! Stop acting like you can’t hear me!

“I’m giving you a way out, but you won’t take it! Why
