Chapter 1
My wife and I had been in a DINK relationship for three years, and our relationship had always been good.
Until one day, I received a call from my friend, Jack Parker.
"There's no shame in having a child. How much longer do you want to hide your son?"
I was stunned for a few seconds and naturally denied it.
Jack said.
"I saw your wife taking a kid to the amusement park. And you still don't admit it?"
I was shocked.
***
"No way."
After being stunned for a few seconds, I denied it directly.
Nora Wilson and I had been married for three years, and had been DINK for three years.
Not having children and living a good life for two was something we had always been proud of.
I smiled and said to Jack on the phone.
"You must have drunk too much and seen it wrong. Nora and I are not planning to have children."
Jack laughed out loud.
"I filmed them!
"Your wife took the kid to the amusement park to play the dinosaur ride three times in a row. You still don't admit it?"
I instinctively wanted to deny it.
But Jack was my childhood friend. And there was no reason for him to lie to me about this.
I asked doubtfully.
"What video? Send it to me."
"It's just Nora taking a child to play..."
Jack's voice stopped abruptly.
There was a three-second pause.
His exclamation shocked me.
"No way. That child is really not yours?"
I frowned nervously.
Naturally, I didn't want to believe such sensational statements as "Nora took a child to the amusement park".
But Jack spoke with certainty.
I had to watch the video before I could define it.
"Send me the video first. Quickly."
After saying that, I hung up the phone.
Nora had never liked children, which was also an important reason why we decided to be DINK.
Jack must have seen it wrong.
There were so many people in the amusement park. How could it be such a coincidence that he saw Nora at first sight?
Buzz!
My phone vibrated.
It was Jack who sent the video.
I swallowed subconsciously and quickly opened the phone.
I clicked on the video.
I felt like my heart had stopped beating.
The woman in the center of the screen was really Nora!
I turn up the volume. And I almost put the phone against my face, staring at the screen without blinking.
The little boy who stuck to Nora was about four or five years old.
Nora was half squatting on the ground. And the two were talking about something intimately.
The boy excitedly pointed at the dinosaur ride not far away.
Nora nodded lovingly.
After a while, the two walked towards the amusement area with great interest and gradually faded out of the picture.
I was disappointed.
The amusement park was so noisy that I couldn't hear their conversation.
But I could vaguely see the little boy's lip shape.
He seemed to be calling Nora "Mom".
This was impossible!
My heart was beating wildly.
Nora and I had always had a stable relationship.
How could she have given birth to such a son without telling me?
No.
I changed my mind.
If...
If this child was born before Nora and I met...
It was possible.
Chapter 2
An idea crossed my mind.
I immediately dialed Nora's number.
The phone rang more than ten seconds before it was finally answered.
I tried to sound calm.
"Nora, where are you?"
Nora said impatiently.
"Didn't I tell you about the company party when I left this morning?"
The company party should not be in an amusement park.
I was upset when I heard the noisy voice coming from my phone.
Without waiting for me to ask more, Nora said directly.
"My colleague is calling me. I'll hang up!"
After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.
In the past, Nora often went out alone on weekends.
I always trusted her and never asked too much.
But today...
I no longer hesitated.
I picked up the keys and drove straight to the address Jack sent me.
By the time I arrived, it was almost closing time for the amusement park.
There were few tourists in the park. And I soon saw Nora.
Of course, there was a little boy next to her.
Even though I had made sufficient mental preparations.
When I actually saw this scene, I still felt angry.
I had a feeling of betrayal and humiliation.
I couldn't hold back my inner anger and was about to step forward and confront Nora.
But I saw a man who walked to Nora before me.
The little boy excitedly jumped into the man's arms.
Nora's smile looked warm and gentle.
I looked at them from a distance.
They were like a happy family.
And I just looked like a clown.
I took out my cell phone and paranoidly dialed Nora's number again.
When Nora saw my call, her face was full of impatience.
She walked a few steps away before pressing the answer button.
I heard her voice was cold.
"Owen, you weren't like this before."
Nora said.
"I'm participating in an activity, but you keep calling me. My colleagues will have a problem with me."
I was shocked.
I woke up like a dream.
My eyes were locked on the three over there again.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in my mind.
I had seen that man before.
My memory came back to me, and I quickly remembered the man's name.
He was Nora's direct superior, Frank Adams.
A month ago, Nora worked overtime at the company until late at night.
It was this man who took her back home.
When I opened the door for them, Frank was still praising Nora's professionalism in front of me.
I thought it was odd at the time, but I didn't investigate further.
Now I thought about it, I found the two were making a fool of me.
They'd been lying to me.
I would play with them!
I sneered, turned around and walked away.
At this point, there was nothing left for me to hide from Jack.
He and Nora work in the same company.
I would tell the whole story. I might get some information from him.
I told Jack about it.
He touched his forehead, as if something had suddenly dawned on him.
"No wonder Nora seemed sneaky when I ran into them in the elevator last time!"
Jack told me that Frank was the son-in-law of their company's boss.
That was why Frank became a leader.
He had no ability of his own.
His daughter just turned six years old. His wife was pregnant with their second child, due next month.
Jack said indignantly.
"As long as this matter is exposed, Frank will definitely be in trouble!"
I thought for a moment and shook my head.
If the truth was exposed directly, Frank would be abandoned at best.
Then, Nora and him could be together.
They might be happier than they were now.
My goal was to bring disgrace upon them.
Chapter 3
That evening.
Nora finally returned home at 11 o'clock in the evening.
She looked exhausted.
After playing with the boy for a whole day, she must be exhausted.
But I could still feel that she was in a good mood today.
I couldn't be happy.
I pretended to say casually.
"Jack told me that he saw you at the amusement park today. Why did you go there for party?"
Nora's expression suddenly changed.
Her expression that had just relaxed immediately tensed up again.
She frantically flicked her hair a few times. She didn't sound confident.
"How is that possible? He must have seen it wrong."
I pretended to agree.
"He must be dazzled."
Seeing my attitude, Nora finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I then said.
"Jack was so stubborn that he even wanted to a video."
Nora was very nervous.
She slowly turned her head. Her eyes were full of fear.
She didn't even dare to speak easily, just pretended to be calm, and waited for me to continue.
I paused for a few seconds.
She could hardly bear it.
I said.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Nora's expression was already stiff, and now she couldn't even smile.
She forced a smile.
"I want to ask what about next."
I suddenly realized it and answered slowly.
Seeing that Nora was about to give up, I continued.
"Jack made fun of me. He took a long time to shoot a video, but I didn't see him send it to me.
"Maybe he saw it wrong."
Nora finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what I said.
She quickly regained her composure and told me fluently.
"I was in my company all day today. Jack must have recognized the wrong person."
I sneered in my heart.
If there wasn't that video, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...
She wanted to keep treating me like a fool.
I just couldn't believe it.
My wife who had been sleeping with me for three years.
She was actually willing to be a mistress of her leader and even gave birth to a son!
I thought back to the past.
She lay in my arms and told me pitifully.
She said she didn't like children and couldn't sleep because of the fear of having one in the future.
I was so distressed that I took the initiative to propose DINK.
Three years passed.
I was childless, but she had a son for someone else.
I tried hard to calm myself down.
All these had just begun.
