I tugged at the corner of my mouth without any guilt and said to Samuel indifferently.
“Emily wasn’t mistaken. I did have a surgery at the hospital.”
“Samuel, guess what?”
“I asked the doctor, and she told me it was a baby girl.”
There was a time when Samuel always spoke to my silent belly with extremely childish but sincere words.
“Little baby, don’t play hide and seek with your dear mom and dad anymore.“}
“To welcome your arrival, I have already prepared the little princess’s room for you.“”
“My little princess, hurry up and come to Mom’s belly. You will surely be the happiest little girl in the world.“}
When he heard the words “baby girl,” Samuel’s eyes went blank, and he staggered back several steps.
Emily wanted to help him, but he shook her off forcefully, causing her to fall to the ground.
Before Emily could get up, I had already walked up to her and slapped her hard.
She was instantly stunned. For a moment, she couldn’t hide her true colors and said with a fierce look.
“Natalie, how dare you hit me?!”
Hearing this, I gave her another resounding slap.
“You deliberately stirred up trouble in front of me. Isn’t this what you wanted? Even after I accommodated you, you still act like you’ve been wronged.“[
Her despicable intentions were exposed by me in public, and Emily, thinking she was unobserved, glared at me viciously. Then she immediately returned to Samuel’s side, tugging at his clothes, covering her swollen, pig–like face, and cried.
“Samuel, I shouldn’t have said so much. Natalie was right to hit me. I’m so sorry.“>
In extreme speechlessness, one cannot help but laugh.
Not only me, but most of the women present were amused by Emily’s extremely crude acting.
They couldn’t help but speak up for me.
“Samuel, what is your little mistress pretending to be? Everyone here knows Natalie’s character. If she were a playgirl, why would she hang herself on your crooked tree when so many men pursued her back then? In terms of excellence, can you surpass Matthew? It’s really ridiculous.“E
“That’s right. Sarah even told us that you were the one who wanted a divorce. What are you pretending to be so devoted for now? This class reunion has been ruined by you and your little mistress. You two should just leave. We don’t welcome scumbags and cheap women here.”
After these words were spoken, no one spoke up for Samuel.
It was quite normal.
During the four years of university, I was a model student with a wide social circle.
When my classmates mentioned him, they would only say, “Do you remember Natalie’s husband?“}
Twisting her skirt and feeling ashamed, Emily, who was considered a half goddess at her ordinary school, couldn’t bear the embarrassment of being pointed at by so many people.
She was now truly shaking with anger.
*Samuel, they…” Before she could finish her sentence, Samuel interrupted her directly, “You can leave. I have something to discuss with my wife.”
Emily never expected that Samuel not only didn’t speak up for her but also bypassed her directly, walked up to me, grabbed my wrist, and insisted that we find a quiet place with no one around to have a good talk.
‘Samuel, don’t be so ridiculous!”
I had never felt so embarrassed.”
My ex–husband had become an unbearable existence to me in public.
