Who Brings Spring Tea in the Dream

Summary

My relatives said I’d won the second-wife lottery in New York. Joey Sterling married me in a headline wedding after his first wife left the country and his son drowned. A year later, we had a son, and life seemed blissful.

Then Chloe, his ex-wife, returned—with convenient amnesia. She called during our nights, stormed our anniversary dinner, and kissed Joey in front of me. In a crowded store, she screamed that I was a homewrecker and ripped out a chunk of my hair.

Joey would beg me, “Mia, she’s sick. She doesn’t mean it… Once she’s better, she’ll leave us alone.”

I believed him.
