Chapter 10%
She had no right to make decisions for me.”
Besides, I didn’t give birth yet.”
She couldn’t plan whom my children would belong to.
I finally knew why Lucy could walk in with a smug look on her face just now. It turned out that she had already thought of the plot.
“Bob, you want our first child to call Lucy Mom?”
In a panic, he didn’t dare to look me in the eye.N
“No, Scarlet. Last time when Lucy cried that she would never have a child in her life, I said it just to coax her.“}]
Lucy pouted coquettishly.
“It’s impossible! Bob was serious at that time. He always does what he says to me.“”
Lucy’s words made me stunned for a while.
She was right.
Bob would fulfill all his promises to Lucy.
He promised Lucy to quit smoking, and he made it.§
Before that, I tried to persuade him more than a dozen times with all my heart, but it was of no use.
He promised to get concert tickets for Lucy. Even if he failed to get them, he could buy them from scalpers at a high price.”
By comparison, he always forgot to help me make an appointment for the 9–valent HPV vaccine.
That was why as Bob proposed to me, Lucy could arrogantly demand that my first child should be a boy.
I was so angry that I felt dizzy. The next moment, I got up to grab my bag.
Bob was anxious. He pushed Lucy away, and his face turned cold.
“You go out first. We need a private room.”}
Lucy’s eyes turned red. She pursed her lips and said aggrievedly.
“Bob, you go too far this time!!
“Sure enough, men will change!“}
Lucy ran out crying.
Bob walked over to me and coaxed me patiently.§
“Scarlet, that’s what I said a year ago. Don’t worry! I won’t let our child call Lucy mom.“}
I shook my head and slapped him in the face.
“Bob, I am a human being. You can’t use me to compensate Lucy!”
Bob’s right face instantly became swollen.
He was not angry but squatted down and rubbed my hand.
“Don’t be angry, and I still have a lot to tell you.”
He was so affectionate that I was in a trance for a few seconds.
Seeing that I was not angry, Bob picked up the ring and continued.
“Scarlet, would you ma…“}
Just then, the waiter rushed in again.
“Oh no, that lady just took out a bottle of sleeping pills suddenly and swallowed them all.”
Bob’s face turned pale.}
After a few seconds, he hurriedly stood up and ran out in a panic.}
The ambulance arrived soon.
I looked at Bob holding Lucy and running towards the ambulance. Then I lowered my eyes sadly.
I picked up the ring and put it on myself.”
Its size was wrong, obviously smaller than mine.
Wearing a bitter smile, I took it off again.”
Bob would never know I still had feelings for him.§
Just for a moment, I felt a little soft–hearted in fact.
But now….
I thought for a while and sent a message to Anna.
“Anna, please help me arrange a lounge in the office. I want to stay in the company permanently.“}]
Later, I changed my phone number.
I told my parents that I would be out of contact for three months as the work required.”
In the evening, I received messages from Lucy.
– In
11:35 AM
[I’m not stupid, I just swallowed vitamins.]
[Did you see? I’m much more important than you in Bob’s heart.]
This was the first time for me to reply to Lucy’s message.
[He is a bastard, and you’re a bitch. What a perfect match!]
[I can give him to you if you want.]
