Chapter 2%
At that time, I never thought about being a DINK. I just wanted to have a baby because I was with him every day.”
Soon, I became pregnant.
After hearing the good news, Marlon was so excited that he almost cried.”
“But my parents said that the first child should have my last name and we can decide on the second and third children. Marlon, how many children do you think we should have?“>
There was a subtle worry on his face as he answered, “Margret, are you really ready to be a mother? I mean. I don’t want you to suffer the pregnancy, I also heard if it will hurt.”
I was deeply moved and hugged him, telling him that I was not afraid.
But pregnancy was indeed hard. I had severe morning sickness and could not eat anything.”
One day two weeks later, I had constant abdominal pain. Marlon was so anxious that he rushed me to the hospital, but the baby still died.
He stayed by my bed all night and the next day he hit himself with red eyes as he stated, “Margret, it’s my fault. I made you suffer. Let’s not have any more children. Can we be DINKs?”
“But you are the only son in your family. Marlon, I want to have a child with you. I am not afraid of this little hardship.“>>
I repeatedly emphasized that I was willing.
But Marlon said that I had given him too much and having me in his life was enough.”
To show his loyalty, he went to the hospital to get a vasectomy that day.”
As if this was not enough, he took the initiative to take safety measures every time since then.
What I did not expect was that even Marlon’s parents agreed with our decision.}
After I was discharged from the hospital, they never mentioned anything about continuing the family line.
They even sent a dog for Marlon and I to raise as a child.
I naively thought that this was all Marlon’s effort behind the scenes.}
I did not understand until I heard my mother–in–law swearing just then.
It turned out Marlon was not against having a child–he just did not want one with me. Since being helped by his father–in–law was a thorn in his heart.
It would be an even greater shame for him to have our first child follow his wife’s family lead.
He had already arranged everything for his life. I would help him rise to the top and become successful. Another woman would bear children for him and cook for him.
At that time, when my parents had passed away and I had no relatives left, he could deliberately make me give birth to a child at an advanced age and prolong the life of my illegitimate child.
Burning with humiliation and despair, I asked coldly, “Yes, the child is innocent. In order to save your illegitimate child, my child and I may die. Marlon, don’t you think you’re too cruel?“}
