Yes, I must live for my child.
“Don't worry sir, that man is already nothing to me. Soon I will break away from him completely.”
After arriving at the hospital and undergoing a series of tests, I finally received my pregnancy test results, and I froze.
The results showed I had cancer.
The results hit me like a hammer, hammering me in the gut.
Just as I was feeling completely overwhelmed, I saw my husband at his prenatal appointment—and his mistress, Delaney.
“Beckett,you coming with me to this appointment…if Evelyn finds out,she’ll be really upset.She’s due soon,too.Aren’t you worried?”Delaney said with a voice full of pretend concern,but I caught the smugness in her eyes.
Beckett kissed her belly gently and replied with chilling indifference,“She doesn’t know about this and I’m not planning on telling her.Maybe it’s the hormones,but her mood’s been all over the place lately.I don’t want her making things difficult for you.”
“But we can’t keep sneaking around like this.Evelyn’s heavily pregnant,too.If she finds out,I’m afraid she—”
“There’s nothing to be afraid of.It’s my duty to be here with you for this appointment—after all,the baby is mine,too.If Evelyn wants to cause trouble,I’ll just divorce her.”
The coldness in Beckett’s voice when he spoke about me made my blood run cold.
Beckett thought he could divorce me before I did. What he didn't know was that I was already preparing for my own divorce and the division of our assets.
Soon, he would understand the consequences of his betrayal and infidelity.
It would be irreversible.
When Beckett mentioned divorcing me,I caught the way Delaney’s eyes narrowed slightly,a flicker of satisfaction slipping through her carefully composed expression.
“I never meant to take you from Evelyn,”she said,her voice trembling ever so slightly.
Her eyes filled with tears.And Beckett,full of tenderness and concern,gently wrapped her in his arms.
“I told you—I’ll take care of you,Delaney.If it weren’t for you back then,I would’ve…”He trailed off.
“Anyway,it’s only right that I look after you,”he continued.“Evelyn is my wife,so she should understand why I’m doing this.And so what if she finds out?I’ll still be here for you,no matter what.”
Beckett patted Delaney gently,comforting her.
