The Great Commander Strikes Back

Chapter 1

“Finally, it's done.” Harvey smiled after putting some lettuce in the lunch box. The color combination of the fruit, lettuce, and some of the other foods was very nice to look at. This was enough to make Harvey feel happy. “Oh, I didn't expect it to be this good.”

Harvey quickly closed the lunch. Then he got ready to drive her to the office where his wife worked. As he usually did.

Harvey's wife worked in the city center, so he needed a scooter to reach the office. It was quite a journey that exhausted him due to the hot sun during the journey.

Harvey arrived at a large building. Then he entered the building. However, the doorman there did not seem very friendly to Harvey.

The doorman who was sitting reading a newspaper clicked his tongue when he glanced over. “You again. Just go in and finish your business! You don't need to fill out the visitor's book.”

Harvey continued his journey to his wife's study. It was not only the doorman who looked down on Harvey, but also the people who worked inside. One woman even furrowed her brow. Her lips curled downward.

“He... I saw him a few times. Is he the husband of the rumored Miss Whitley?”

“Shush! Why are you talking like that? He is not her husband. That man is just a caterer who delivers food. Besides, would the beautiful and perfect Miss Whitley choose such an ugly man for a husband?”

“Ah, yes. You're right, tho.”

They were talking quietly, but that didn't mean Harvey couldn't hear them. However, Harvey did not want to respond to that. It was natural for these people to say such things. Because Whitley was a highly respected woman in this office. She even had the looks and body of a model. Harvey, on the other hand, was someone who didn't have a job. Of course, everyone thought Harvey was not Whitley's man.

Harvey walks away and enters an elevator. When the elevator door was about to close, someone held the door. Then a man dressed in a cream-colored suit entered and pressed the button for the 4th floor.

Since he entered, Harvey's face had changed slightly. Harvey recognized this man. He was Andreas Brown. The person Whitley was working with. However, he liked Whitley even though he knew she already had a husband.

Andreas realized that he was being watched. He turned his head and looked at Harvey from bottom to top. A slight smirk was painted on his face. “You're... you're delivering catering to Whitley again? You'd better stop. She won't eat it.”

Harvey furrowed his brow. He looked straight ahead, paying no attention to Andreas who continued to brush him off. “None of your business.”

Hearing that, Andreas chuckled. “You faithfully do this every day, but you don't even know that Whitley doesn't eat it at all? You really are useless, Harvey.”

Harvey turned his head while glancing sharply at Andreas. The man's smile looked very annoying in Harvey's eyes. “You don't know anything, Andreas. You don't know conjugal relations at all.”

Andreas laughed and shook his head. He thought Harvey's words were hilarious. He doesn't seem to have any empathy for Harvey's offense.

A moment later, the elevator doors opened. Right on the floor where Andreas was headed. “Oh, this is a sign I need to get away from someone like you. Someone who is useless. Oh yeah, tell Whitley I'll take her out to eat tomorrow.”

After saying that, Andreas smiled with satisfaction as he walked out. Leaving Harvey who looked at him sharply. Harvey didn't let go of his gaze until it was blocked by the closing elevator doors. “You bastard...”

A real man would know not to bother a woman who already has a partner. However, it seemed like Andreas' vein of shame had been broken. He even deliberately provoked Harvey like that.

Harvey let out a long breath. People like Andreas had always existed. Until one day, Harvey would not remain silent if he was insulted like that.

The elevator opened on the 6th floor, where Whitley was. Harvey took a deep breath. Then he let out a big smile. In order to get rid of the annoyance after meeting that jerk. With steady steps he headed for a room with a black door. He knocked on it three times.

A moment later the door opened. A large, beautiful eye peeked out from behind the door. It was Whitley Smith. Harvey's wife. Harvey smiled as he picked up the lunch he was carrying. “Whitey, I'm coming.”

Whitley immediately opened the door and stood there. As if preventing Harvey from entering. She folded her arms across her chest.

Harvey then handed him the lunch he had made. “I brought this for you, Whitley. As usual. You must be hungry--”

“I'm not hungry!” Whitley answered immediately without waiting for Harvey to finish his sentence.

Harvey wrinkled his forehead. “I've made lunch for you. I guarantee it tastes really good--”

Whitley immediately grabbed the lunch in the small bag. His blue eyes glared at Harvey. “Stop it already. I'm not taking any more of this from you. I've already got food anyway.”

Harvey tilted his head. He was quite surprised by Whitley's sudden outburst. “Have you eaten?”

“Yes, I ate. Together with Andreas.” Whitley answered Harvey firmly. She then looked at the lunch container Harvey had brought. “I don't need this!”

Whitley rudely threw the lunch into the trash. It made Harvey open his eyes wide. His chest hurt when Whitley did that. However, Harvey endured it. Only his face turned bright red.

Whitley clucked his tongue. “I don't need you to keep coming to this office. Get the hell out of here! I don't want to see your face for tomorrow and beyond. Get out or I'll call security.”

Harvey frowned. He turned around and walked away. He could hear the door slamming behind him.

Harvey felt the need to calm down, so he took a walk in the garden and sat there. Whenever Shawn was in a bad mood, he did this every now and then. Sitting there for a long time while feeling the breeze would make him become more relaxed.

However, it seemed like he was too lost in thought to notice that the sun was almost all the way down. Harvey hurriedly stood up and walked home. “I stayed out too long.”

When Harvey arrived home and parked his motorcycle, he saw several cars that he recognized. They belonged to the Smith family. It looked like they were having a family party inside.

Harvey frowned. “If there's a family party, why wasn't I invited? I'd better go in to make a good impression.”

Harvey smilingly entered the house. However, he was surprised to find that not only the Smiths but also Andreas Brown were at the party. He casually stood next to Whitley with one arm around her. Even Whitley was smiling happily.

Harvey immediately glared and furrowed his brows. “Whitley? What's going on? Why is Andreas here?”

Harvey's words brought all attention to him. The looks in those eyes were very sarcastic towards Harvey. Even the atmosphere turned very serious.

Whitley, who had been smiling, also dropped her lips. The woman saw this as an opportunity. She let out a loud voice that the whole room could hear. “Everyone, I have an important announcement. It's very exciting news. I'm divorcing Harvey!”

Harvey suddenly opened his eyes wide. His body was rooted to the spot. Didn't he hear it wrong?
