The light was suddenly turned on.
My heart skipped a beat, thinking that I had let Marvin notice something——
But unexpectedly, Marvin was full of excitement.
“Yolanda! Could you be… Pregnant?”
He looked excited, but I felt like I was falling into an ice cellar. If it was yesterday, I would still be very excited about the arrival of this child, but now, I just thought he came at the wrong time!
The happiness on Marvin’s face did not seem fake at all.
“We’ll go to the hospital for a checkup after the wedding tomorrow.” Marvin whispered, “Yolanda, we will get better and better…”
Even before he fell asleep, he was still mumbling, “I will be better to you and the child in the future.”
I was in a trance, pulled his arm away and ran to the balcony to smoke.
I was confused.
Marvin looked so serious...
In the past three years, countless scenes of him holding me in his palm also flashed by.
When I had my period, he prepared brown sugar water for me in advance.
The sense of ritual I would never forget on my birthday.
Always took me to the Ferris wheel in the amusement park… took me to make up for the shortcomings of my childhood.
Just like my friends said, love was like raising flowers. At least in the past three years, I really lived a good life.
I was getting happier and happier and my face was always full of smiles.
Struggling and tangled… countless emotions were rippling in my heart.
In fact, Marvin did not completely cheat physically.
At least, he and Fiona did not go to bed.
Fiona didn’t dare...
I shook off the cigarette ash and looked into the room. Suddenly, Marvin’s phone screen lit up.
As if it was a blessing from heaven, I tiptoed over to open his phone.
He actually added a password!
I shuddered and stared at the six numbers that confused me, as if a bucket of cold water was poured over my head.
I started to try all the anniversaries of him and me, his birthday and my birthday.
But none of them were right.
Finally, I closed my eyes, took a deep breath and entered Fiona’s birthday——
The phone turned on.
I almost lost all my strength in an instant and collapsed to the ground.
I opened Apple Pay and saw a message from Fiona to Marvin: [Marvin, after marriage, will you still protect me like before?]
At this moment, all my entanglements, struggles, guilt and regrets disappeared.
I calmly covered the phone screen and stood up.
Marvin opened his eyes and held my hand. “Why aren’t you asleep yet?”
