“You’re going to have an abortion.” The man didn’t hesitate to reply, and finally added in a cold tone, “You took the pill last time. You don’t want to be pregnant with someone else’s children to tell my grandfather.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I raised my lips and smiled. “The pill is not 100% successful.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My question made Sean feel nervous. His eyes fell on my belly and he asked, “Are you pregnant?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Guess the answer.” I looked at him with a flat expression and couldn’t see any answer. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean Jessop looked at me without answering, but there was no joy on his face. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I might be too eager to let the child have a father, so I still reluctantly asked him, “Do you want me to be pregnant?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He remained silent. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t answer, and the answer was that he didn’t want to. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hid my loss and pretended to laugh with ease. “No, I lied to you. I’ll never have children with a man who doesn’t love me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At this point, the car was at Daisy’s house. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I opened the door quickly and got ready to get out of the car, but I heard the man saying to me, “As long as you are well behaved, I promise you will always be Mrs. Jessop. As for our children… Let’s talk about it later.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was upsetting me! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was this a compromise? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Yeah. It’s a compromise. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I remembered Sean Jessop’s cold eyes and cynicism about me. This had begun to change. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
For a while it even made me feel that as long as we continue, maybe one day our relationship will get better. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But there’s something I’m naive about. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next day, on the weekend, I worked overtime at the company to do the rendering. Daniell came to see me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He explained to me that he had been on a business trip recently, so he was not in the company. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Today he came back and wanted me to accompany him to buy some clothes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He had helped me a lot in the company and in the life for a while, and I have no excuse to refuse it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We went to a department store near the company and headed straight for the men’s section. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
No matter which store he stepped into, the clothes he put on looked good. It’s just that if I said it looked good, he would buy it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then I couldn’t stand it, so I just shut up and let him decide. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even so, he bought seven or eight clothes and two suits. After that, all the clothes were given to the shop attendant and sent to his home sometime. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We sat down on the escalator and when we were on the third floor, we saw the baby supply area. I couldn’t help stopping. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Daniell misunderstood me and said, “Wait for me.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
After that, he ran to the kid’s section and got a purple teddy bear. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I realized I wanted to stop him, I saw two other people in another area selling newborn products… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean and Molly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Two people were pushing a small cart and shopping for newborn supplies there. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I stood far away, but I could see the light in Sean’s eyes. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seems that he is looking forward to the birth of this child. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Here you go.” Daniell came back soon and handed me the purple bear. “Did you just watch this?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said, “Yes, thank you.” And then I pulled Daniell away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It’s true that the enemy’s road is narrow. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I avoided them in the mall, but when I had dinner in the restaurant, I met them again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Just as Daniell and I sat down, I saw the waiter put Sean and Molly on the table opposite us. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ah, isn’t this Daniell whom June admired most when she was in college?” Molly Carter saw us and immediately came to say hello. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Her eyes were so sharp that I could guess what she was thinking. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
