As night fell, I dressed up carefully, looked beautiful, and stepped into the KTV box on time.
As soon as Ethan saw me, his eyes involuntarily became unfocused, then he slowly walked over and took my hand.
Cindy's face changed slightly, but she quickly adjusted her expression and introduced me to her friends in a graceful and generous manner.
Her long-distance boyfriend, with whom she often quarreled, was also present, sitting lazily beside her, puffing on a cigarette.
came in with a three-layer cake that Ethan had ordered for Cindy .
When making a wish, Cindy put her hands together and smiled peacefully like a princess. "Since I came to Shanghai, my brothers and sisters have taken good care of me. My biggest wish is to be with them forever like a family -" However, before she finished her words, the bag in my hand accidentally fell to the ground, and a piece of paper slipped quietly.
Ethan quickly helped me pick it up. When he saw the words "Precautions after abortion" clearly printed on it, his face turned pale instantly:
“Grace, what is this?!”
He was extremely shocked, staring at me intently, and asked in a hoarse voice: "When did it happen ?"
Cindy mistakenly thought that Ethan and I had another argument, so she came over and tried to smooth things over. She forced out a smile that she thought was sweet, and said in a sweet voice, "Okay, okay, brother, don't blame me. Today is my birthday, and everyone should be happy."
"Sister, let me cut you a piece of cake!"
I took a step back, kept a certain distance from her, and responded coldly: "No need. The reason I came here today is because Ethan said that if I come, he will grant me a wish."
As I said that, I took out the divorce agreement and threw it in Ethan's face without any hesitation: "Sign it. This is what I want."
The divorce agreement in his hand was torn to pieces in an instant: "Don't be ridiculous, Grace."
"Do you think I will believe you are pregnant just by a piece of torn paper from a maternity hospital ?" I calmly corrected him: "It's not pregnancy, it's a miscarriage."
He suddenly raised his voice and asked, "What's the reason? Just because I was busy taking care of Cindy, you got jealous and beat our child?"
I sneered, "I did think about aborting the baby. But before I even went to the hospital, the baby was gone."
He was stunned: "What do you mean..."
Seeing my mocking look, he suddenly remembered the day he hit me with his car, and he was struck by lightning: "How is that possible?"
"I, I clearly braked, I didn't hit him at all!" "Let's go to the hospital... the child must be fine!"
He grabbed my hand and was about to walk out, but at this time Cindy suddenly squatted down holding her stomach: " Brother Ethan , my stomach hurts so much..."
Her lips trembled, as if she was enduring great pain.
However, Ethan did not rush to her anxiously as usual. Instead, he frowned and yelled at her angrily, "What does your stomachache have to do with me?"
"It's not me who made you pregnant. Why do you keep looking for me every other day? Are you crazy?"
Cindy had never seen him like this before. She stood there in shock and even forgot to continue pretending to have a stomachache.
I shook off Ethan's hand, took out the receipt for the uterine curettage from my bag and threw it to him: "Look carefully, the baby is gone."
He took the list, glanced at it and didn't dare to read any more. He asked me in a hoarse voice, "When was the surgery done ?" I sneered and said in a voice that everyone present could hear, "The night you brought Cindy back to our house to spend the night."
Cindy's boyfriend suddenly jumped up from the sofa and slapped Cindy hard in the face: "I told you to make more money, but I didn't tell you to cheat on me!"
Cindy's cheeks quickly swelled up, she covered her face with tears in her eyes and said in defense: "I didn't!"
"I just stayed there for one night, I really didn't do anything else!" However, her boyfriend didn't believe her at all, and slapped her several times while cursing, "How dare you lie to me!"
"I've long seen that there's something wrong between you and your foster brother!"
Cindy 's friends were all shocked, and no one dared to stop him.
Cindy couldn't stand the beating, and she retorted: "Yes ! I did it, so what ?"
"You treat me badly, can't I find a man who treats me well?"
"I'm telling you, Ethan is a thousand times and ten thousand times better than you!"
Ethan shouted, "Cindy! Shut up!"
He turned around in panic and observed my expression: "Grace, don't listen to her!"
"That night you didn't come home, I was upset, but I didn't want to look for you. Cindy called me in the middle of the night, and I wanted to piss you off, so I took her home in a fit of rage."
"I originally asked her to sleep in the guest room, but she was shameless and ran to my bedroom in the middle of the night without any clothes on—"
"That's enough." I interrupted Ethan impatiently and looked at him with contempt. "Ethan, you are not a man. I look down on you."
