Then Rendy suddenly rushed out of the bathroom. He hadn’t even had time to put on a shirt— just a pair of pants, water still dripping from his hair.
In his hand was the pregnancy test I’d used in the bathroom before I was reborn!
My mind went blank. I lunged to grab it.
Rendy recoiled in panic, every hair on his body standing up.
He said the exact same words from my past life.
“Kayla, let’s get a divorce.”
My hands dropped to my sides, fingers white as I clenched them.
“Why? The child is yours!”
“I know it’s mine,” Rendy’s teeth chattered.
“Kayla, I've let you down. I take back my promise to take care of you and the child. Let's get a divorce."
“All the money is yours. I'm leaving the house. Please, let me go."
Color drained from Rendy’s face. He dropped to his knees and bowed his head to me.
In my past life, the first time I saw him lose control like this. I flew into a rage and confronted him.
This time, I sighed and stayed calm.
“Divorce is fine. Tell me why.”
I walked toward him step by step, my eyes flickering with disappointment, confusion and a strange, aching curiosity.
Rendy stood up in panic, as if he'd seen a ghost.
He suddenly rushed out of the house, leaving only one sentence behind.
“I’ll have someone bring you the divorce papers tomorrow.”
Watching him leave in such a hurry, my heart bled.
This time, I didn’t go to Nina’s house to cry on her shoulder like I did in my past life.
Instead, I decided to schedule a prenatal checkup to confirm my suspicions.
Just then, Nina called.
I hesitated for a moment but still answered. Her anxious voice came through the phone.
“Kayla, that jerk Rendy said he wants to divorce you?!”
Rendy was her childhood friend and she was the one who had arranged our marriage. It seemed he had already called and told her everything.
I quickly took the chance to ask, “Did he tell you why he wants a divorce?”
Nina gritted her teeth. “Nothing! That bastard told me to call you and ask you myself.”
“Don’t worry, Kayla. If I see Rendy, I’ll beat that jerk up!”
Hearing her angrily stand up for me, I felt a wave of warmth.
Thankfully, she still didn’t know I was pregnant.
I quickly said, “Nina, you don't have to come over. I need to process this alone."
She went silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “Kayla, are you pregnant?”
I froze, instinctively tried to deny it.
But her tone suddenly became panicked.
