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.
Chapter 4
The next morning.
Nora got up early as usual and went to work.
Her branch was located in the southern suburbs, a full hour's drive from my home.
I had advised her many times that if she had the chance, she should transfer back to the company headquarters, or change to a company closer to home.
With a less stressful commute, she could relax a little more.
Of course, Nora did not accept my suggestion.
I thought about it.
The company was located in a remote area and a good place for them to date.
She and Frank were happy there and could not bear to leave.
After the pain, hatred spread in my heart.
At this moment, my cell phone suddenly rang.
I picked up the phone and saw that it was my father-in-law, Tom Wilson, calling.
Out of respect for elders, I answered the call and spoke respectfully.
Tom obviously had something to say.
He hesitated for a long time before speaking.
"Owen, modern medicine is already very advanced... You are a young person, so you should not be afraid to seek medical treatment."
Tom's words completely stupefied me.
I tried hard to recall my physical examination report, but I couldn't think of any serious illness.
Tom saw that I didn't understand, so he pretended to cough and said.
"You and Nora have never been able to have children..."
He had only said half of his words when someone else interrupted him.
His wife, Megan, snatched the phone away and said quickly.
"Owen, if you are sick, go see a doctor!
"I'll be frank with you.
"Nora is my only child. If you're infertile, you can't hurt my daughter!"
Megan's voice was so sharp and shrill that it made me tremble.
They hesitated because they wanted to blame me for being sterile.
I thought I was disappointed with Nora's behavior.
I knew now that at the end of disappointment there was despair and resentment.
We decided not to have children.
In order to deal with our parents, Nora and I reached a consensus.
We decided to tell our parents separately that it was our own problem that we didn't get pregnant.
This way, all worries were resolved.
My parents heard that I had problems and might never have children in my life.
I still remembered the pain and self-blame in their eyes.
But what about Nora?
If it weren't for this call from Tom, I would have thought Nora really fulfilled our agreement.
I suddenly thought of the last few times I accompanied Nora back to her parents' home.
Tom and Megan became more and more impatient with me.
There was a lot of sarcasm in his words.
At that time, for the sake of family harmony, I endured it.
Now, the truth was revealed.
I thought I was numb, but I still felt so uncomfortable.
Megan's sharp voice sounded again.
"Tom asked an old doctor to prescribe two prescriptions. I have already given them to Nora.
"If Nora doesn't get pregnant in six months, Nora will have to divorce you."
After saying that, Megan hung up the phone.
I sat on the sofa, feeling a chill in my heart.
The attitudes of Tom and Megan showed that they not even know the existence of the boy.
In that case...
The show would be even more exciting.
