All Chapters of Forgot My Wife, Found My Standards: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Even knowing Suri and I had been married for five years, this was the first time I'd seen her up close.And yeah, I got why she'd been my dream girl in college.Just looking at her put me in a better mood.Even with that icy expression, I couldn't bring myself to dislike her.Maybe Monica was right.'I really am weak for a pretty face.'When I stayed quiet, Suri frowned."Connor, what are you trying to pull now?"She walked straight into the closet, barely glancing at me, and grabbed a robe.I turned toward her."What do you mean, 'trying to pull'?"I'd barely said anything since she got home.How was I causing trouble?Her eyes swept over me."Every other time I came home, you threw yourself at me. Trying something new?"I blinked.Had I really been that desperate?I kept my face neutral."Oh. I won't do that anymore."I expected her to look relieved.Instead, her frown deepened."I'm exhausted from work. I don't have time for your drama."I had no idea what to s

I ended up going to Julian's celebration party with Suri.The second the three of us walked into the private party room, every head turned.Surprise.Amusement."Suri actually brought him?""Well, yeah. He's always making a scene over every guy around her. Of course he'd show up if it's Julian.""I heard he even tried to kill himself because of Julian.""Seriously. He should know his place. He's lucky Suri married him at all. Who is he to tell her who she can see? The other guys were one thing, but this is Julian. Does he really think he can compete?"They weren't trying to be quiet.Just quiet enough for me to hear.I looked around.They had to be friends of Suri's or Julian's.Either way, they were all part of the same crowd.I let out a quiet laugh.No wonder twenty-seven-year-old me ended up trying to kill himself.If I'd listened to people tear me down like this every day, I probably would've cracked too.And I must've really loved Suri back then.Otherwise, how c

I couldn't forget Suri swimming toward Julian when we both fell into the pool.Even without the past nine years of memories, my heart had still hurt.A dull, crushing ache.Like drowning.Maybe that was the last trace of twenty-seven-year-old me.Honestly, I was glad I'd lost my memory.Because if I still loved Suri that much, the pain alone might've killed me.Suri fell silent.She opened her mouth like she wanted to explain.Nothing came out.I couldn't swim.She chose Julian.That was the truth.If Keira hadn't jumped in, I wouldn't be alive."...I was wrong."After a long silence, that was all she could say."It won't happen again.""It doesn't matter." My voice stayed calm. "Once we're divorced, you can save whoever you want. It won't be my problem."Her arms tightened around me."I know you're angry, but it's not what you think..."She hesitated."And as for the divorce... I'm not agreeing to it.""What gives you the right to say no?"When Julian and I fell

Time flew.Even though I never said it, Keira seemed to realize I was in trouble.She didn't push.Instead, she filled me in on everything that had happened over the past two years.Once I finally understood, I couldn't help feeling a little conflicted.Twenty-seven-year-old me had really loved someone that much.Eighteen-year-old me never would've believed it.I'd somehow gained nine years overnight, only to find out I'd become the exact kind of hopeless simp I used to look down on.No way I could accept that.Keira and I were laughing when a familiar voice came from nearby."Isn't that Connor? Why is he with Keira..."Then he seemed to figure it out."She saved him yesterday, so he must be thanking her."I'm sure Connor isn't the type to sneak around with another woman."I turned and saw Suri standing there with Julian.I hadn't even noticed them walk in.Suri gave me a cold look. "I remember telling you I don't like you being around her."I frowned. "We're getting d

Afraid she'd catch on, I shrugged off her hands."Isn't this normal? After something like that, of course I changed. Did you expect me to stay the same? Follow you around like a lost puppy, desperate and completely spineless?"A dangerous look flashed in Suri's eyes.Ignoring me, she grabbed my phone and tried the passcode she remembered.The passcode failed.She frowned."You changed it?""Yeah. So?""Your old passcode was my birthday."Suri stared at me coldly, but hurt flickered in her eyes.I wasn't about to argue over something this stupid."Give me my phone back. I still need to ask for time off.""If you want, I can buy the whole company. Do you really need to keep working there?"As she spoke, she tried a few more passcodes."Our wedding anniversary."Wrong.Her lips tightened. Then she entered my birthday.The phone unlocked.She looked at me for a long moment, then changed the passcode to our anniversary.I snatched the phone back and tried to unlock it.N
