From the back cover

For ten years, Sylvia believed her marriage to Lawrence Ashford was happy. He chose a childfree life to protect her health, never missed an anniversary, and gave up studying abroad to stay by her side. On his birthday, he calmly tells her he has another family and wants to spend the day with them instead.

Lawrence admits his affair began six years ago with a younger woman named Willow, with whom he has a son, Miles. He insists he still loves Sylvia, yet refuses to understand why she wants a divorce, treating her pain as a tantrum. As he tends her wound with the same tenderness as before, Sylvia sees clearly how thoroughly she has been deceived.

When he casually asks for his birthday gift, his phone reveals Willow's voice message, and Sylvia must decide what remains of the life she built.
