Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Carden's eyes changed from happy to sorrowful. His smile slowly faded, and his hand on her waist loosen a bit.
He could see from her eyes the weariness and pain she had to go through because of his schedule; it sent knives stabbing through his already pained heart.
Was he that busy that he never realized he lacked as her husband?
His lips trembled. He raised his hand and slowly trailed it to her soft cheek. Dalmi could feel the warmness of his calloused hand, but all she could feel right now was coldness.
"I…" Carden's voice broke. He swallowed hard, hoping that the lump in his throat would be removed, but the corners of his eyes heated as he felt Dalmi's agony.
"Did I make you feel like I

Carden’s hand trembled when he read the label of the supplement. Why does she have vitamins for pregnancy?“Carden!” Dalmi's surprised voice rang behind him, causing him to let go of the bottle. His eyes watched how it fell to the floor and stop at the carpet. “W-what are you…”Dalmi’s voice broke and her eyes widened when she saw the bottle. She nervously shifted her gaze to his husband as her face turned crimson. Her heart jolted in a daze as she walked towards his feet where the supplement fell and pick it in a hurry.“What is that?” The man couldn’t stop himself from asking. Colors ran out of his wife’s face, and her lips quivered as she glued her eyes on her feet.Carden didn’t want to conclude immediately, but was his wife pregnant? Why? How?How could she be pregnant when she married an infertile man?He was perplexed and hurt. Did his wif

Dalmi wiped her tears away when. She didn’t know how long she sat on the carpeted floor, questioning herself why did this happen to them when they were just fine earlier when she remembered that she had a child in her womb and it will not be good for her.She pulled herself up, only to feel the numbness of her legs, and sat back to her position earlier. She closed her eyes, her arms massaged her legs, as though it’d help ease the pain from staying there for so long.The master’s bedroom was usually cold and quiet, but it never felt lonely. Ever since they shifted here from her bedroom, she never felt sad even when Carden doesn’t come home often these past few weeks because she knew they were alright and he was just busy. But right now, it was different.Her husband was angry at her for a reason she wasn’t sure of. She hid her pregnancy for him, but she didn’t know why she felt something different towards his

“Why the hell would you say that?!” The man suddenly burst and stood up with his bloodshot eyes staring intently at her. Dalmi’s eyes widened when the man yelled at her. Her heart pounded widely and the corners of her eyes heated from unshed tears. “C-Carden what are you-“ “Does it sound so easy for you that you could demand just like that, huh?” He struck his hands on the table, making her jerk from her position and close her eyes from surprise. She bit her lips, unable to reply to him in fear that he might get angrier.Carden, on the other hand, breathed fast as he stared at the woman with anger in his eyes. How could this woman talk to him like she didn’t do something bad behind his back? She didn’t even know how to distance herself and consider his pain! At this point, she should be ashamed for going here and act like everything was fine when it’s not! “Do you even know how hard it is for me

It was in the middle of the night, the whole room was already quiet and dark when the woman woke up from a deep slumber. She heard the sound of the opening of the door. She rubbed her eyes and glanced at the built of his husband standing in front of their doorway.“Carden,” she called and pulled herself up. The man was leaning the side of his body to the doorway and stared at her for seconds before he walked towards the couch attached to the same wall in her door with his limp legs.Dalmi’s feet landed flatly on the carpeted floor. She slowly plodded towards her husband with a worried gaze. The foul smell of too much alcohol invaded her nose, making her step back a little and pinch her no

It was a Sunday morning and Dalmi woke up early so she could prepare something for her husband. She usually does this every day, but the man didn’t want to see her so she purposely wakes up earlier than him so when the man wakes up and goes out of his room, he’d just eat and Dalmi was inside hers.It was the same thing she expected today, but she was also shocked that the man was drinking water in the kitchen when she arrived, and now, he instantly got angry and threw the glass o the floor.Her heart pounded wildly from both fear and pain.

Carden stomped his feet against the tiled floor of their living room. His legs spread widely on the sofa, his arms across his chest, and his face in a frown. At this time, he was usually outside, hanging out with his friends with a beer in his hand but right now, he decided to stay at home and try to watch what was his wife doing whenever he was not there. He thought, the woman was just avoiding him and she locked herself to her room but it had been hours and she hasn’t come out yet. Earlier, he went towards her room. It may be unnoticeable, but when his wife was not in front of him, he still feels the care and love towards her. There are times where he missed talking to her and cooker for her, that was why he woke up earlier to cook for breakfast and leave it until she arrives but when he saw the woman awake at the same time, he came back to reality. Whenever he would see the bump in her stomach, he’d instantly be reminded about how the woman cheated on him

“My husband…was infertile?” she whispered to herself and glanced at the widely opened front door. She tapped her ears, unable to believe what the man told her before he left her in that place dumbfounded. Was she deaf? Or she didn’t hear her right? Her tears stopped from falling, and the only thing running in her mind right now was his last words. Disappointment, hurt, disbelief, and vexation mixed in her mind that she fell on the sofa while she still couldn’t take her eyes off the door. Carden was infertile. She leaned both her elbows on top of her knees and covered her face with her palms. She groaned and squeezed her eyes close. Even when those words came from her husband, she still couldn’t believe him. How could it be true when she was pregnant? All of those nights, she didn’t remember him using protection and she didn’t do it with another man. Dalmi loved him dearly that even if she was angry and dr

Chapter 143: When They Thought Things were fixed “This is why I don’t trust you, Carden. I don’t want my child to marry someone as incompetent as you.” The way the old lady said it to him felt like it was a dagger sent to his chest. To hear his wife’s mother those words were too painful to swallow, and his mind couldn't accept. “You...don’t trust me? Auntie, I was just worried about my son!” “Because you know you cannot protect him! You know you can’t protect your family because you are incompetent! I already knew you are that kind of man when I met you!” Carden had never thought that Dalmi’s mother could be like this. Never in his entire life, he had imagined for one of the

You were with him!” she yelled when it dawned on her. She was expecting the man to deny it, or to say that he was just joking and would laugh, but she was wrong!Her eyes turned sharp, and her cheeks burned in anger. “Tell me you are joking right now, Carden!

It was a Saturday morning and Carden was promised to bring him to the mall and play.It has been a month since that night, and everything was going smoothly. She thought the man was just joking and that he only said it to her because they finished making love, but after a week, with a velvet box and diamond ring in his hand, he proposed to her.It was the second time that they will get married but at that very moment, it felt like it was the first...and it really was.

Chapter 140Carden crossed his arms as he leaned his back at the wall. It was past eleven, and Denver and Dalmi were already in a deep slumber; however, he still couldn’t get himself to sleep.He was standing on Dalmi’s veranda, his back leaning on the wall and his eyes gazing at the deep, night sky. His disheveled hair kept on dancing with the cold wind as if it was upbeat music that won’t stop his hair from moving sideways, but he didn’t mind, for the only thing he wanted right now was to enjoy the peacefulness of the night.Up until now, he still couldn't believe that everything was falling into their right places. Denver accepted him as his father, he and Dalmi were fine...and they’re gonna sleep on the same roof tonight. It felt nostalgic and surreal, like a dream...and he was scared it might be taken away once he wakes up tomorrow because he didn’t want to fall asleep.“I thought you were asleep,” he s

Did Denver really call him his daddy or he was just dreaming?“Can you...can you repeat what you just said earlier?” he said. His eyes are still wide from the shock as he glimpsed at Dalmmi who also mirrored what he felt right now.Ecstasy, shock, disbelief...all of it was mixed up in his heart that he didn't know how he would react.“I am asking if you wil

Tears cascading down his chubby cheeks as his face reddened in anger.“I asked Yaya Linda to find it in the refrigerator but she said there was nothing!”No matter how she tried to act like she was sad about his loss, she couldn't. The kid just said that he didn’t like it in front of Carden, now that he was gone, he was searching for it?“I thought you don’t like it? Why are you asking Yaya to find it for you?” She wanted to laugh, but she knew her child would cry more if she did so she just touched his hair, pushing it upwards to see the whole of his face.

Chapter 137Dalmi’s jaw dropped when she saw how Denver put the spoon down and crossed his arms like a grown-up man. The kid, who obviously looked like he enjoyed the first two scoops when he was tasting it, now looked as though he had tasted the worst banana split he ever had.“I-is he serious?” She shifted her gaze towards Carden who just picked up the spoon and sat at the seat where Denver sat earlier. He picked a portion of the desert and acted as if she was now in front of him.“Carden! Aren’t you offended that your child didn’t like what you did?” she furrowed her brows. If her son was already weird, she already knew that he got it from his father. Instead of thinking as to why Denver had to walk out, he just eats the leftovers! She glared at him.“Why? Should I be sad that Denver walked out?”“Yes! He just said he doesn’t like it!” she retorted and crossed her arms.

I promise I will wash off every memory from that man until he accepts me as his father.”That
