Chapter 1
I made a deal with my husband Daniel Allen to be childfree, but he changed his mind halfway.
He even said that I can't have children, so he can only find another woman to have them for him.
But I forgot to tell him that he's the one who can't have children.
***
"Let's get a divorce."
"I want a baby, and since you can't have one, I can only find another woman to have it."
Daniel's expression was cold.
"A baby?"
I felt like I heard the biggest joke and couldn't help but laugh coldly.
"Didn't you insist on being childfree at the beginning? Didn't you keep saying that you hate children?"
"It was you who threatened me with divorce and refused to have children!"
I gave up the opportunity to be a mother, but now I'm too old to have children, and he wants a child.
Then what was I?
Daniel remained silent for a moment and slowly said, "I'm sorry, but I regret it."
"When I was young, I only thought that children were noisy."
"But now that I'm older, all my friends have children, except me. Every time I come home from work, it's empty."
"Julia, I love you, but I really want a baby."
I just felt absurd.
He insisted on being childfree and repeatedly told me the benefits of not having children.
I agreed, and now he wants to go back on his word.
Why?
"For the sake of a baby, are you going to give up our fifteen years of love?"
Is this the man I have loved with all my heart?
I couldn't hide my disappointment, but thinking of our fifteen years of love, I decided to tell him the truth.
"Daniel, give up, you won't have..."
"You can't have a baby, naturally there are other women who can!"
My mother-in-law Dolly interrupted me.
Chapter 2
"If you can't even have a child, if I were you, I would have no face to live!"
"Daniel, divorce her quickly and make room for Cora."
I was so angry that my vision went black. It was clearly Daniel who wanted to be childfree, but now she blamed me.
After hearing what she said, I instantly calmed down.
"Who is Cora?"
Thinking about Daniel's abnormal behavior these days, I had a guess in my heart.
"Daniel, are you having an affair?"
Daniel turned his head, avoiding my gaze, "Sign it, the house and car are all yours."
His attitude explained everything.
I felt even colder.
He knew very well that the thing I hated the most was a cheating man, but he still chose to betray our marriage in this way.
My heart was in so much pain that I almost suffocated, but my mind became even clearer.
I accompanied him from being a poor boy in the countryside to the current president Allen. He said he wants a divorce? On what grounds!
Thinking of this, I tore the divorce agreement in my hand into pieces.
"I've been with you for fifteen years, starting from scratch and building up this family business."
"You think you can get rid of me with just a house and a car?"
"What a disaster! This is outrageous!" Seeing this, Dolly got so angry that she jumped up and tried to hit me.
Chapter 3
In the moment before her slap landed, I took the initiative and slapped her fiercely.
She stumbled and fell to the ground, covering her swollen face in disbelief.
"Julia! Mom is an elder, how can you lay hands on an elder?"
"I've been wanting to give her a slap for a long time."
"Elder? Ha, what kind of elder is she."
Looking at Dolly lying on the ground, I felt a sense of relief in my heart.
My parents died early, and my mother-in-law looked down on me as an orphan and treated me badly.
I used to endure it because I cared about Daniel's face.
But now I don't want to endure it anymore.
"Don't bully Auntie Dolly, it's all my fault, blame me!"
