My Husband Always Gave Me Red Tea at Night — Until I Found Out It Wasn’t Tea.
<p>Episode 1</p><p><br/></p><p>The first night my husband gave me red tea, I thought it was just love, his quiet way of showing he cared.</p><p><br/></p><p>I never imagined there was something strange about the midnight tea.</p><p><br/></p><p>At first, I didn’t question it. Every night, he would bring it, warm, gently steaming in the same cup.</p><p>“Drink this, love,” he would say softly, smiling.</p><p><br/></p><p>And every time, I drank it. It was almost tasteless.</p><p><br/></p><p>But soon, I started to notice something odd.</p><p><br/></p><p>Every night, before making the tea, he would step outside for a few minutes. Then he’d come back in, walk straight to the kitchen, and return with that same cup.</p><p><br/></p><p>But I never once saw him drink from it.</p><p><br/></p><p>One evening, after serving me, I asked, “How about yours? I’ve never seen you drink this tea.”</p><p><br/></p><p>He smiled. “I’ve already had mine. This one’s for you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I wanted to respond, but he leaned in, kissed my forehead, and whispered, “I love you.”</p><p><br/></p><p>I smiled back. “I love you too.”</p><p><br/></p><p>But that night, I didn’t feel like drinking it.</p><p>He noticed. His expression shifted, almost worried.</p><p>He laughed a little, teased me, and somehow… I still drank it.</p><p><br/></p><p>Days passed. The same routine. The same cup. The same tea.</p><p>And every night, he went outside first.</p><p><br/></p><p>Finally, I decided to find out what was really behind it.</p><p><br/></p><p>That night, like always, he said he was going to check the car. This time, I quietly followed.</p><p><br/></p><p>He walked toward the backyard, glancing over his shoulder to be sure no one was watching.</p><p>Then he bent down behind the shed.</p><p><br/></p><p>My heart pounded.</p><p>I leaned forward, holding my breath.</p><p>Then I saw it, I froze.</p><p>“Oh my God…” I whispered to myself.</p><p><br/></p><p>To be continued</p>
