“This isn’t appropriate. It’s your birthday party; I shouldn’t be the center of attention.”
“Don’t say that. Without you, I wouldn’t be here today. Thank you, Theo.”
A friend beside them winked.
“Mr. Baron is just being shy. In other countries, it’s popular to kiss on the cheek when you meet. You’re so shy, you must have feelings for our Stella, right?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Stella lowered her head and kissed him on the corner of his lips.
“Drink the wine! Drink the wine!”
The shouts grew louder and louder.
Theo no longer resisted and obediently drank the wine with her. The glass was still half-filled with ice cubes.
That was what she meant by her “menstrual period.”
The video showed the moment the two of them drank the cup of wine.
The baby’s cries shattered the last remnants of my fantasy. If my child’s father were this kind of person, it would be better to find a better father.
I knew it clearly in my heart, but tears still flowed uncontrollably from my eyes, accompanied by waves of nausea.
Charles hurriedly handed me a tissue.
“Let me take you to the hospital. With such severe postpartum reactions, how can he let you go out alone?”
“No, it’s okay.”
With red eyes, I slowly raised my head to meet Charles’s worried gaze.
“Congratulations on becoming a father. Want me to become you wife too?”
I could feel his body stiffen instantly.
“What did you say?”
“You’re already married…”
“We haven’t registered yet. He said he doesn’t have time.”
During the waiting period for the marriage registration, Theo had sent a message to his assistant at some point.
When I came out with the marriage certificate, the car was already filled with sanitary pads and diapers. There were also countless small stuffed animals.
Charles blushed and coughed. “I bought them randomly. They’re gifts for the baby.”
“I’ve never been in a relationship or had a child before. I’ll learn as I go.”
After saying that, he took out the household registration book. My name and my daughter’s name had already been added.
Below was a thick stack of property deeds and property transfer agreements.
“I’m different from Theo. Even though I don’t know what you want, I’ll do my best.”
“If you ever get angry with me, this will be your and the child’s security.”
Holding my daughter, I finally smiled sincerely for the first time in a year.
“Thank you.”
“Now, it’s time to settle the score with them.”
