Her explanation seemed flawless, but I still had doubts in my heart because it was all too coincidental.

"Honey, I promise you this is the last time. I will never contact Tom again, okay?" she pleaded.

"Whatever you say." I responded calmly, "I don't want to get involved in your relationship with your bestie, but you absolutely cannot go camping again. This is my bottom line."

Lily Davis was very happy after hearing this and agreed without hesitation.

"Also, since we're preparing for pregnancy, let's sleep in separate rooms for this month," I added.

Although she was a little surprised, she agreed readily.

After dinner, Lily Davis sent Tom downstairs. I sent a message to the homeowners group asking if the plumber was at work today. Soon someone responded that the plumber had just helped change the light bulb in his house.

I replied with a thank you and deleted the chat history. My doubts grew deeper.

I called my father and told him that I didn't want to get married. My father was very surprised and asked me the reason.

"After thinking about it for so long, I still feel that Lily Davis is not suitable for me." I said frankly.

My father disagreed with my opinion and thought I was being petty and mean again.

" Son, Xiaoyan is such a good girl. She is much more diligent than your mother in buying groceries, cooking and washing clothes every day. Don't be ungrateful for what you have." He advised earnestly.

"Even if she made any mistakes in the past, that's in the past. Don't think too much about it."

"I still have to dance square dance with your mother, so I won't say much to you." After saying that, he hung up the phone.

I could only smile bitterly and shake my head.

A few days later, one night, it was stormy outside. Lily Davis and I were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

She rested her head on my shoulder and hugged my waist. "Honey, do you think our first baby will be a boy or a girl?" she asked softly.

"I don't know." I answered nonchalantly.

" So do you like boys or girls?" she continued to ask.

"All is fine." I responded coldly.

"I think girls are better. After all, they are warm and caring. That's how my dad used to praise me." She said with a look of longing on her face.

But I was concentrating on watching TV without looking around.

Lily Davis bit her lip and said in a seductive voice, "Honey, we have been sleeping in separate beds for several days. How about we sleep together tonight?"

I looked down at her and remained silent.

"Honey, are you no longer interested in me?" she asked with some dissatisfaction.

I said no, I was just preparing for pregnancy.

Lily Davis asked with a half-smile, "You're just trying to fool me. Are you looking for a mistress?"

"No." I still said in a cold tone.

" But you are a normal man. We haven't been intimate for a long time. Don't you have any needs at all?" Lily Davis frowned slightly, "You didn't... go to those places?"

Just as I was about to answer, her cell phone suddenly rang. After seeing the number, she was slightly startled, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes.

It's Tom calling.

It's hard not to misunderstand the call at this time. "Honey, it's my best friend calling." She explained.

I said calmly, "I see, take it."

To avoid suspicion, Lily Davis answered the phone in front of me. As she listened, her expression changed.

"Honey, I'm going out for a while. Something happened to Tom." She said anxiously.

"What happened? Was he hit by a car?" I asked in surprise.

" Don't joke around! He's heartbroken and I have to go and comfort him." She explained.

"What does someone's broken heart have to do with you?" I asked.

"He's my best friend, and I'm worried that he might do something stupid. Is that wrong?" she retorted.

I said expressionlessly, "I see. You're afraid that Tom will be too sad, so you plan to go to his house to comfort him and fill his inner and physical emptiness. Is that what you mean?"

"Honey, what nonsense are you talking about?" Lily Davis jumped up like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and raised her voice, "I have explained it countless times! The friendship between Tom and I is pure best friend! It's not as dirty as you think!"

"Haha, whether you are pure or not, you two are the only ones who know best." I sneered, "Let me ask you, it's still raining outside, are you sure you want to leave this home for a man?"
