Chapter 2 If you cant handle the struggles of pregnancy , just terminate it already ! And now , I finally realized that he meant every word .
How ridiculous .
But was it too cruel for me to realize this now ? I stayed silent for a long time .
Finally , I spoke up just before Antonio ran out of patience .
Okay , I got it .
I wont wait for you .
With that , I hung up .
This book had been added on your bookshelf Antonio came back early the next morning .
He packed up his things , grabbed the baby items Id prepared for our child , and got ready to leave .
A coworker had a baby , and we didnt have much to give her .
I figured we could give her what we got for our baby , and well buy more once youve delivered .
I froze for a moment , instinctively touching my belly .
Right .
I wouldnt need it anymore .
This baby … would never be born .
Antonio didnt notice , but as he saw me zoning out , his expression darkened slightly A flicker of guilt crossed his eyes .
Really ? Youre being stingy over a few baby items ? We can just buy the same ones later .
Your pregnancy mood swings are something else .
Do you really think youre a queen or something ? I forced a smile and meekly replied , Okay .
Ill do as you say .
At that .
Antonio was momentarily stunned .
Since getting pregnant .
I hadnt acted so submissive in a long time .
The pregnancy hormones made me emotional , prone to crying , complaining , and throwing fits .
I had seen Sarah on our anniversary .
She was sitting next to us , her face full of sadness as she cradled her belly alone .
I really envy you two .
Your relationship seems so perfect .
I was about to comfort her when Antonio casually gave her the necklace he had bought for me .
This necklace suits you better .
You take it .
Dont be upset .
Then , without hesitation , he reached out and gently touched her head .
I stood frozen , my face going pale .
Sarah hurriedly stood up , her face pale , tears welling up in her eyes .
No , I cant take it .
This was your anniversary gift .
Im sorry , I didnt mean Chapter 2 to ruin your celebration .
Please , forgive me .
By the end , her eyes were red .
And she was almost on the verge of kneeling .
Before I could say anything .
Antonio snapped at me .
Grace ! Are you done ? Its just a necklace ! If you want one , go buy it yourself ! She likes it , so give it to her ! Whats the big deal ? Shes crying now ! My words caught in my throat .
Watching Antonio comfort Sarah , I couldnt hold back anymore and burst .
into tears .
He shot me an impatient look and pointed at the door .
Go cry somewhere else if you want ! Acting like the queen of the house just because youre pregnant ? Shes already upset , and you still have to get involved ? Whats the point ? Later , he tried to explain .
Shes been through a lot alone .
Youre going to be a mother soon too , so just consider it a good deed .
How ridiculous .
Antonio and his mistress were being affectionate right in front of me .
And I was too dumb to see it .
How pathetic .
Her baby was born .
15 And I was just five months pregnant .
How ironic .
Antonio , your love was truly beneath contempt .
Snapping back to reality , Antonio pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead .
Be good .
Ive got a business trip for three days .
Can you take care of yourself and the baby while Im gone ? If you were always this good, we wouldnt fight so much .
I gave him no reaction .
I just stared at him blankly .
Are you traveling for the New Year too ? Antonios face stiffened for a second .
But he quickly replaced it with a smile , pinching my cheek .
Yeah , for you and the baby .
After Antonio left , I slept the entire afternoon .
When I woke up , it was already dark .
I mindlessly scrolled through my social media , and then I saw a post from an unfamiliar account .
It was a family photo taken in a hospital .
Sarah was holding a baby , Antonio sat beside her , and his parents were happily standing next to them .
Caption : Celebrating four years with my husband , and now weve got a little one on the way ! Im being spoiled like the baby of the family all over .
again ! The comment from Antonios mother stood out .
A happy family is the greatest blessing ! A happy family ? Can a mistress and her child really be considered a happy family ? Five years of our marriage , and they had been together for four ? So , everyone knew .
Theyd all been keeping it from me .
I tugged at my lips , unable to stop myself from laughing .
But as the laughter faded , tears started falling in heavy streams , and no matter how hard I wiped , they wouldnt stop .
Antonio .
I regretted it so much .
Late that night , after I had calmed down a bit , I returned to my room .
