My Daughter's Ashes Box and My Divorce CertificateChapter 1
I participated in a variety show, and the host asked the guests to call their other half.
"I'll go first!"
Angela Bird, the rising star, beat me to it and called her boyfriend sweetly.
"Baby, aren't you working at this time? Why did you call? Do you miss me?"
Eddie Ford, known as the future genius in the business world, affectionately called her "Baby".
Everyone was envious, but my face was pale.
Because Eddie was my husband.
I just gave birth to a child for him.
***
I returned to work after childbirth.
My agent forced me into a live interview.
According to the script, the host took out a piece of paper from the box and showed it to the camera.
"The dare for this round is to call your other half and act coquettishly for more than thirty seconds!
"It's a tough challenge. Who dares to try?"
As the host, Jenson Clark, spoke, he looked at me.
But before he could call my name, Angela took the initiative to speak.
"Jenson, come on! Didn't we agree not to mention my relationship?"
She revealed it herself.
Jenson was stunned for a second and then quickly said.
"Good news should be shared, of course!
"Angela, what does your boyfriend do for a living? Is he available now?"
"He's a fool in love. He'll pick up whenever I call!" Angela said sweetly.
She said it loudly.
Instantly, there were countless bullet comments.
"She's in love! Who is the lucky guy?"
"She's so inexperienced in love! She blushed the second she was asked to call him!"
Everyone was looking forward to Angela's other half.
Only I took a deep breath and felt helpless.
Since I became pregnant with my daughter, Ruth, I hadn't appeared in front of the camera for a long time.
If I failed to perform well on today's show, my agent probably wouldn't arrange any other jobs for me in the next three months.
I needed the camera to help the audience remember who I was.
But Angela took away the question specially prepared for me.
Was she unintentional? Or intentional?
I didn't know.
Meanwhile, Angela had already dialed a number.
The phone just rang, and soon, a man's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Baby."
The indulgent and magnetic voice echoed in the studio.
Everyone took a breath at the same time.
Because they could tell that it was the voice of Eddie, the new person in charge of the Ford family!
"Angela, your boyfriend is?" Jenson wanted to be sure.
