By the time I woke up, it was bright as day.I sensed the fragrance of laundry detergent emitting from my patient gown...Could it be that my clothes had been washed?I was a little confused. As I was about to get up, I felt dizzy. For a moment, I felt something rolling in my stomach...It is a symptom of pregnancy or something?I had suffered retching when I had been pregnant last time but the situation this time seemed to be different from that last time.When I was thinking about it, I heard the servant outside talking, "Sir, are you all right?"Is there something wrong with Dave?I pushed the door open, put up with my discomfort, and followed the voice to the study. I saw Dave sitting at his desk and working in front of his computer.It was unknown whether it was probably because of the glow of the computer but Dave's face looked particularly pale and he looked haggard.When he saw me, he immediately stood up and said, "You are awake.."Looking at him, I inexplicably felt a litt
Dave asked the servant to help me get three more pills. I pretended to drink them down but the pills were pressed under my tongue.With the excuse of not feeling well, I went back to the room. The first thing I did was to go to the toilet to spit out the pills and flush them off.I stood in front of the mirror and looked at ugly me wearing the mask. I thought of Dave.Does he love me?He probably loves me a little but he doesn't trust me. He killed my child..Sob!Sob!..................In the following week, Dave worked from home. We took the medicine together once every 12 hours.The first time I was given the medicine, I was in a deep sleep for the whole day and since I took the anti exposure drugs for real the previous time twice, I sleep for two days with little wakes. That was why I had felt uncomfortable after I had gotten up that day but after that, I didn't take the medicine so I didn't feel uncomfortable anymore.In contrast to me, Dave was taking the medicine seriously
Griffin came in and asked, "Are you done using my cell phone?"My heart trembled then I said, "I'll be done with it in a minute."As I spoke, I texted Oogway, "Don't reply to my text." then I quickly deleted all the texts before returning the cell phone to Griffin.Seeing me like this, Griffin teased, "What's wrong with you? Were you texting your lover?"I immediately became nervous and shook my head, "No."Griffin put away his cell phone and chuckled, "It's just a joke. Don't mind me. I think Dave is indeed a good man. You surely know this better than I do.""Well." I said dully.Was Dave a good man for me?He probably was but it was a pity that I, who had gone through so much, didn't want him anymore.When everything was done, I went out.Dave was waiting for me at the entrance. His face was pale. When he stood up, he trembled slightly. Looking at him, Griffin frowned slightly. "The anti exposure drugs have different effects on everyone. Some suffer great side effects while others
"I...I'm not sick. The woman in the video is indeed not me!" I nervously explained to Dave."Not you? Tell me, how can you prove the woman in the video isn't you?" Dave, who had an angry expression on his face, was in despair now. He continued, "I have been trying my best to convince myself that I shouldn't even care about that. You only have to take the anti exposure drugs. Why is it so difficult for you to do so?"Dave, who spoke in a low tone at the beginning, roared in anger in the end.He grabbed my shoulder so hard.I stared at him dully and opened my mouth but for a moment, I didn't know what to say.Yes, men all have possessive desires but Dave, still accepted me. He surely had made a great compromise.Dave stared at me, "Do you know? I've been telling myself that as long as we take the drugs together, we can start over again but what about you? What did you do?""I... Indeed...""It's enough!"Dave let go of my shoulder with one hand, took out the cell phone from his pocket,
The next day, my life was still the same. But in the evening, unexpectedly, Dave asked a makeup artist to help do his makeup at home. I could hear the servants talking behind the door. It seemed Dave was going out today.Jamin would celebrate his birthday today.If Dave isn't here, does it mean I can escape?When I was thinking about this, the door of the multimedia room suddenly opened with Dave standing at the door.He wore a black suit with his hair combed back. Due to the skillful makeup of the makeup artist, no one could see the pale look on his face.He looked at me and said, "Come out and change your clothes. I'll take you out.""What?" I was stunned"Is he going to take me there with him?"I pretended that I didn't know anything and asked him in a feigned daze, "Where are we going at such a late hour?"Dave lowered his eyes slightly and said word by word, "I have to go to my grandfather's birthday banquet. I won't be at ease leaving you at home alone so I have to take you the
Oogway who was older than me, exuded the aura of a mature man, giving me an inexplicable sense of trust and to some extent, going abroad was the best choice for me.I wanted to stay far away from Dave."Okay, I'll go abroad with you." I hesitated for a moment, "My bank card is at Dave's place..."Oogway smiled when he heard that, "Don't worry. Although I'm not as rich as Dave, I can afford to support you."I understood what he meant however, hearing his words, I felt a little embarrassed.That night, I followed Oogway and boarded a plane out of the country.It wasn't until I got on the plane and looked at the clouds outside the plane that I realized I had indeed gotten out of Dave's control.On the plane, Oogway looked at me, "Now, the plane has taken off. Tell me what happened.""I..." I wanted to say something however, because of the side effects of the anti exposure drugs as well as the discomfort of my ears in the high altitude, I felt somewhat nauseous.Before I could finish my w
Oogway took me to a popular restaurant in the local area. By the time we went in, it was almost full. When the boss saw Oogway, she quickly greeted him and smiled at me.She took the two of us to a quiet corner at the end of the room.The boss here was a middle aged woman in her forties. She didn't mind my appearance. She introduced the specialty of her restaurant to me enthusiastically.Since it was my first time I ordered dishes based on her recommendation.Not long after, the dishes were served. To tell the truth, the dishes here weren't as good as how the boss had recommended. They tasted so strange. However, the boss came to ask if the dishes tasted good and to avoid failing her enthusiasm, I had to brace myself to finish all the dishes.The people around us were indeed like Oogway had said. They didn't mind me at all.This made me feel relieved.After dinner, considering that I was tired, Oogway let me go back to rest first and also asked me to visit the town with him tomorr
I know that besides intending to see Dave, I was worried about him.I pondered on it over and over again and said to Oogway, "Mr. Oogway, I am quite worried about Dave. Before I left, his behavior seemed a little abnormal. I am worried he will do something extreme.""Hearing you say so, I also feel his attitude at the birthday banquet wasn't normal either." Oogway nodded slightly. "I will help him. Don't worry."That afternoon, Oogway took me to the market to make purchases.I felt so great. People here didn't look at me with peculiar looks in their eyes.When we were about to leave the market, we saw an old lady sitting at the entrance with a few kinds of vegetables in front of her."How much is it?"By the time I saw the coriander, Oogway had walked up to the old woman and asked about the price.The old lady glanced at Oogway and stretched out five fingers.This price was much higher than those of other vegetables.This price couldn't be compared with that in the domestic supermarke
Looking at me coldly, Dave seemed to be thinking about something and failed to say anything for a long time.About seven or eight seconds later, I was about to leave. Then Dave suddenly said, "Yes, you are right."I thought there was something wrong with my ears.His voice was a little hoarse and sentimental.Before I could say anything, Dave continued, "I really shouldn't force you to bear any child for me again. With our current relationship, it's really not appropriate for us to have a child.""I..."His attitude changed so fast that I didn't know what to say for a while.But he said first, "Sorry."After that, he turned around to leave.I stood in the night and watched him walking into the darkness bit by bit. For no reason, I felt reluctant to see him leave."Wait a minute!"I wasn't reconciled once again!I took a few steps, went up to the front of his car, and grabbed Dave's hand. When he stopped, I hugged him from behind, "What's wrong with you? Are you going to leave or stay?
I hesitated for a moment and finally opened the door slightly.Seeing me open the door, Jason surveyed me up quickly and looked inside the room, looking a little nervous, "Are... Are you okay?""Yes." I reluctantly curled up the corner of my lips, "Well, I'm going to close the door. We have something to do. You can leave first. Cook and have a meal with Bryan first."I made my position quite clear.Jason looked quite reluctant. He stood there for a long time. It seemed that he was not willing to leave.But I closed the door.After I turned around, I saw dense sarcasm in Dave's eyes. And he said, "What's wrong with you? Are you sad because you hurt your kept man?""Shut up!" I looked up at Dave and asked reluctantly, "What on earth happened? How did you become like this?""Huh? Do you want to know?" Dave stretched out his hand and directly pulled me into his arms.He turned over and pressed me under his body. He looked down at me and said, "I risked my life for you. And you kept a love
Looking at Bryan, I felt a heart wrenching pain. However, I didn't know how to comfort him.At this time, Jason on the side raised his hand to rub Bryan's hair and said, "Of course, your dad won't do that. Every father in the world loves his children the most. Of course, your dad surely won't abandon you.""Is it true?""It's true!" Jason nodded with certainty.He pushed the shopping cart away.Looking at the bottle of energy drink that Dave had put down, somehow, I picked it up and put it in the shopping cart.After we went back home that night, I cooked. And Jason accompanied Bryan to build Lego.Everything was as usual.Ding. Dong.Someone rang the doorbell.Jason went to open the door. I stood aside and felt a little puzzled. After all, no one would visit me.After Jason opened the door, I saw a look of surprise on his face.The next second, I saw Dave pushing him away and stepping into the room. Looking around, he saw me, went straight over, and grabbed my arm, saying, "Let's
The next day, Jason arrived with a leather suitcase.Bryan was so happy. It was also a Friday.Originally, Jason was about to leave at night. However, Bryan insisted on not letting him go. Whatever I said, he wouldn't listen to me.In the end, we couldn't persuade Bryan, so I had to let Jason stay overnight...That day seemed to be a turning point.Since that day, Jason had been living in my home. Occasionally, he would go back to school but most of the time, he lived here.I trusted him. Usually, I would leave a few hundred dollars at home and ask him to go out to the supermarket to buy things for me.What's more, after Jason stayed here on weekends, I could go to the driving school to learn to drive over the weekends, which benefited me and significantly shorten the duration of getting a driving license.Because I could go to the driving school on the weekends, I passed the vehicle driving license exam of subject three soon. After that, I made a reservation for subject four.To cel
I knew that Jason surely knew where he should have put the Lego piece. It was just that he used this method to make Bryan think on his own.The two of them were having a good time at this time. When I entered the room, neither Jason nor Bryan noticed me.Within a day, the two of them got along with each other so well. Only then did I feel that Jason was quite reliable.I changed my shoes and walked inside.Jason quickly stood up and said, "Sister Alina, let me prepare dinner for you.""No, let me do it." I looked at my watch and found that it was past six p.m. Then I said, "Go back to school now.""Okay." Jason nodded his head.Cleaning up the Lego pieces on the ground, Jason promised Bryan that he would piece the Lego with him tomorrow and left.After I finished cooking and asked Bryan to have dinner, Bryan stared at me and said, "Mom, can you pay brother Jason more so that he can accompany me longer?"I was stunned. And I immediately wondered whether Jason had asked Bryan to say s
A week later, Jason came to my house for the first time on a Monday.I got up at 7 a.m, changed my clothes, and went downstairs, planning to cook. Ding!Ding! My cell phone rang.It was a text from Jason, which read, "Sister Alina, I'm at the door of your house. If you are up, please open the door for me."I opened the door quickly.I saw Jason standing at the door in a light blue T shirt. Rolling up the sleeves to his shoulders, he revealed his skinny and yet muscular arms. With a pair of sports shorts on his lower body, a pair of sneakers, and white socks on.The morning sunlight shone on his face and shone into his eyes, making him outgoing and bright."Why did you come so early?" I was a little surprised.Jason said seriously, "Sister Scarlett told me that you are quite busy, asking me to come here to make breakfast early. After I arrived here, fearing that you hadn't woken up, I waited at the door for a while. After hearing that there was movement inside, I sent the text."For
Not long after that day, a female superstar was revealed to have slept with different men, overshadowing all news related to me.In the end, my life went to as peaceful as it used to be.The studio gradually returned to normal. And the renovation of the former studio had almost been done. So we moved back.I transformed one of Judith's guest rooms into Bryan's room and got him back to my side.If Bryan went to the same kindergarten as he did before, it would be troublesome. So I intended to transfer him to another kindergarten.It just so happened that Marie found a kindergarten offering a semi boarding service for Aurelia. She could live there from Monday to Thursday. And Marie would pick her up and take her home on weekends.According to Marie, she had studied this kindergarten for a long time and found it quite reliable. So I sent Bryan there as well.Since Bryan wasn't home at ordinary times, I had a lot of free time.Apart from learning to drive, I focused on my work.Once I beca
I followed him into the elevator specifically for the president. Dee stood in front of me. Through the mirror in the elevator door, I could see that he looked dignified.Walking out of the elevator, I saw that the whole top floor was the same as before.Dee took me to the door of Dave's office. Knocking twice on the door, he said, "Mr. Mitaka, she's here."Then he pushed the door open slightly and motioned me to go in.It seems that Dave had known I will come.I looked at the door and felt extremely nervous. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door open and walked in.In the office, Dave sat in front of a large L shaped desk with a document in one hand and a folder in the other, correcting the document.I walked in. He paused what he was doing for a moment. Without raising his head, he asked, "What do you want to say?"If Dave's attitude to me was as normal as usual, I might indeed think that I had seen something wrong. However, judging from the current scene, I knew that I hadn't se
Lying there, I rested for quite a while before sitting up.Looking at the dim living room around me, I saw a faint light shining through the window of the living room. Searching the living room carefully, I was sure Dave hadn't come back.Yeah, he didn't come back. Otherwise, seeing that I fell down, he surely would come to me.I thought of the kiss at noon.I, who had been pretending to be strong, could no longer disguise myself.I stood where I was and kept telling myself, "Aren't you going to be independent of him? Aren't you going to stop thinking about him?"After all, everything would only get worse and worse if we were together. It would be better if we weren't together.In that case, the ones I loved wouldn't get hurt.How nice it would be!I kept telling myself this.Yeah. Since I decided to break up with him, I would have to make things clear to him face to face, right?I was deceiving myself in my mind.Rubbing my waist, I took out my cell mobile phone from my pocket. Look
