I walked into the hospital lobby in my wedding dress covered in mud, and a nurse asked me with concern if I needed help. I calmly responded that I was here to terminate my pregnancy. The nurse was stunned for a moment, with sympathy in her eyes, and then led me to the third floor.
When I was lying on the operating table, listening to the baby's strong heartbeat in the B-ultrasound, I couldn't help but call Steven. However, as soon as the call was connected, I heard Ivy crying and she apologized to me. Then, the phone was taken away by Steven. He snorted coldly and said coldly: "Anna, it's too late to know your mistake now. You have caused Ivy so much suffering. Unless you roll over and kneel down to apologize to Ivy immediately, I will never forgive you."
I took a deep breath, swallowed the words that were about to come to my mouth, and turned to look at the doctor: "Please start." The doctor hesitated for a moment, but still asked: "The child is very healthy, do you need to discuss it with the child's father again?" I shook my head firmly: "No need."
…
After returning home, I found that the furnishings in the house remained unchanged. It was obvious that Steven had been with Ivy these days . I clicked on Ivy 's circle of friends and saw that she had posted many new updates, showing off that the high-ranking Steven cooked for her, which attracted the envy of everyone. I silently saved these evidences and turned off the screen of my mobile phone. After simply packing up my things, I went straight to the hotel.
After taking a hot bath, my cold body gradually warmed up. After asking for a few days off from the company, I waited until my body was almost recovered and returned to work at the company. During this period, my mother kept calling and asking if I had coaxed Steven. I told her that I would not be with Steven anymore. She cried and wiped tears, which made me upset, so I simply stopped answering her calls.
As soon as I entered the company, I felt the strange eyes of my colleagues. My colleague Xiao Li pulled me to my workstation, and I noticed that the headlines of various websites had exploded. She held my hand tightly with surprise and envy: "I didn't expect that a rich woman would be by my side! I always thought that Ivy was the young lady of the Fu family, but I didn't expect it was you, An Ran."
I smiled awkwardly and roughly scanned the content of the post. It turned out that the scene of the wedding that day was photographed by someone on the Internet, and a bloody case of a wealthy family favoring a concubine and killing his wife was written. Because of Steven's bizarre behavior at the wedding, even the Fu family was affected to a certain extent. In the past, I would definitely be eager to help Steven solve the scandal, but now that he has decided to divorce, I am too lazy to care about it.
When it was time to get off work, Steven was waiting at the company gate for the first time. I turned around and tried to avoid him, but he caught up with me in two or three steps and forcefully stuffed me into the car. "Are you still angry? Can't you tell which is more important, a wedding or a life?" "You are old, but you are still getting a divorce and running away from home. Aren't you childish?" he questioned.
" Okay, haven't you always wanted to go to the starry sky roof restaurant in the north of the city? I'll take you there now." After Steven finished speaking, he took out a gift box from the locker and threw it to me. The thing inside rolled out, it was a diamond ring, which looked much more expensive than the one on the wedding day.
Steven looked at me with an expression that said, "You should be satisfied." " Ivy has a bad heart. Since she already has the ring on her finger, I'll give it to her. This one is much more expensive than that one, so don't worry about it."
I played with the diamond ring in my hand. The price tag of 999999 was not even taken off. I guess it was bought at the last minute from a jewelry store. In the past, when I was unhappy, he would cook for me personally, patiently accompany me to watch movies to comfort and enlighten me, and accompany me to go shopping for a whole day to choose the gift that suits my heart best. Now, he has become like his family, clearly marking the price of my sincerity and asking me to accept it with gratitude.
I put the ring back into the locker and shook my head: "It's too expensive, let's leave it to Ivy." "And I didn't make a fuss. Since you and Ivy ca n't let go of each other, why don't I give her the position of Mrs. Fu, and we can get a divorce when we have time." I said calmly.
Before the wedding, Steven and I had already obtained the marriage certificate. Now we have to break up and go through the divorce procedures. I also heard that when he was having dinner with Ivy and a group of friends, others asked him why a great Steven would like an ordinary woman like me. He put the peeled grapes into Ivy's mouth and smiled indifferently: "I can't say I like her, but Anna has been with me for ten years, and now she is pregnant with my child. It would be pitiful if I didn't marry her. But the title of Mrs. Fu is given to her."
Our marriage, from his perspective, is charity and mercy to me; but from my perspective, it is full of love and sincerity. Now I don't love him anymore, and I don't care about the title of Mrs. Fu anymore.
I thought he would be happy if I took the initiative to help him and Ivy . Unexpectedly, he suddenly got so angry that his eyes turned red, and he slammed the steering wheel with his right hand. " Anna ! Do you think it's interesting to say these things? You have been trying to please my parents like a dog for these years, and you even tried your best to get pregnant with my child, wasn't it just to become Mrs. Fu? Now you are asking me to help you? Aren't you ridiculous?" he questioned.
"It's just that the wedding didn't happen. Can't we just make it up for you next time?! Besides, who can I blame for this? I agreed to marry you, and I just proposed to Ivy , but you insisted like a shrew." He continued.
He always said that I was the one who planned to conceive the child, but it was clearly him who said that he wanted his parents to recognize me and wanted to have a child with me. But after Ivy came back, he regretted it and blamed everything on me.
He honked the horn so hard that it blew sharply. If he had been so angry before, I would have cried and apologized to him. But now I didn't want to argue at all, I just turned my head and looked at the scenery outside the car.
After a long time, as if he didn't wait for my humble request for peace, he turned his head to look at me and called out: "An Ran." I closed my eyes and didn't respond. The navigation system kept reporting the road conditions. When there was 0.2 km left to the destination , his phone suddenly rang.
Ivy cried on the phone and said that her heart was starting to feel uncomfortable again. Was she going to die? To be honest, I was tired of hearing this even if she didn't get tired of saying it. Since she returned to China, her heart would feel uncomfortable on every meaningful holiday. Anyone who is not blind can see that she is pretending, but unfortunately Steven can't see it.
I spoke first: "Just drop me off at the intersection ahead." Steven looked at me in surprise: "You're not angry? You're not asking to go with me?" I shook my head.
I used to dislike him being alone with Ivy , so I suggested that I go with him to take care of her. At that time, he jumped up and down and scolded me for being dirty-minded and petty, and asked Ivy and I to learn to be simple and kind.
He pursed his lips, and his phone kept vibrating. The car quickly drove to the intersection. I took my bag and was about to get out of the car, but he grabbed my wrist and looked at me with complicated eyes: "I'll go and take a look, and come back later to take you to dinner. Don't worry, Mrs. Fu's position will definitely be yours, don't be angry."
"Well, I'm not angry." I tried to push him away perfunctorily, but he held me even tighter: "An Ran, why are you different from before? Why don't you..." He seemed to want to say something, but stopped himself.
"You're not jealous anymore, are you? What's there to be jealous about? The girl treats you as her brother, so isn't it normal for her to come to you first when she has something to do? Go ahead." I smiled and pushed his hands away, got out of the car, and took a taxi back to the hotel.
After eating the hotel buffet, I fell asleep on the bed. Half asleep, Steven called me, explaining that Ivy couldn't leave home and couldn't take me out to eat, so I shouldn't wait for him. I just replied, "I've already eaten."
He immediately fell silent, then gnashed his teeth and asked me, "Do you really have to do this?" I said "yeah" and hung up the phone, and continued to sleep. It was not until the next day that I saw the text message he sent, warning me not to play with fire and get burned.
