Whenever I said this, she would stand on the moral high ground and accuse me. "If I had feelings for Dustin, we'd have sex long ago. It wouldn't have been your turn."
Dustin also persuaded me. "Heather is always careless. She's just my buddy. Don't think too much about it."
Buddies? They were so close that they could sleep together and share the coffee together?
Before we got married, I asked Dustin to choose between Heather and me.
Ever since then, I had lost contact with Heather. We were like fire and water, and whenever we met, we would exchange sarcastic remarks.
Dustin rarely mentioned her in front of me.
When they met in public, they pretended not to know each other.
After that, he showed that he loved me very much and was considerate to me.
If it weren't for my morning sickness, I wouldn't have known that he lied to me when he said he would come back next week.
I knew without thinking who he had been with in the past few days.
There were some things I couldn't think carefully about.
Once I thought about it carefully, I realized that his gentleness and consideration in the past were all fake.
Coming to my senses, I said to the other end of the phone, "Ask Dustin to go with me to the hospital for a prenatal examination tomorrow."
"Okay, but I can't guarantee that he'll go..."
I couldn't be bothered with her stupid provocation and hung up the phone
I thought to myself, "Not ever again."
I closed my eyes wearily and held back the nausea and bitterness in my throat. Subconsciously, I raised my hand to touch my lower abdomen.
Baby, do you think Daddy will let us down?
The next day, I waited at the hospital from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.
I registered again and again, but Dustin didn't show up.
In the past, every time I had a check-up, Dustin would take me to the hospital. Even if it was weekdays, he would ask for leave.
He knew better than me about many things to pay attention to about the examinations.
In his words, it was a blessing for me to be willing to give birth to a child for him.
If he couldn't share my burden, he would be too ashamed to say that he was my husband.
Disappointed, I took out my phone and dialed his number.
Nearly half an hour later, the call was connected.
Dustin's voice was rough as he gasped for breath. "Angelica, I was busy just now. What's the matter?"
I asked expressionlessly, "Have you forgotten what day it is today?"
