My mother-in-law’s face suddenly sank and she turned to look at me subconsciously.

But I looked calm.

Over the years, I had been used to similar things.

When I opened the door, as expected, I saw George and Sienna entangled.

My mother-in-law’s face turned pale and she yelled, “Why did I give birth to such a heartless and rebellious son like you? I will beat you to death today!”

“Mom, what are you doing? Just for Rosa, why are you like this?”

George’s eyes fell on me and suddenly became colder.

“Rosa, you instigated my mother again, right? It’s just giving birth to a child. Do you think you have the confidence in the Mullins Family? There are many women who want to have children with me. I won’t lack women and I won’t lack children!”

Hearing this, my face turned pale.

George and I were childhood sweethearts.

My mother died early and after my father brought a stepmother into the house, I became a child without a mother or a father and was bullied.

It was George who protected me and became my safe haven.

For him, I gave up my dream and stayed at home as a good wife and mother as soon as I graduated from college.

I gave up all my social life and every minute of my life revolved around him.

But in the seventh year of our love, he cheated.

Thinking of those unbearable bits and pieces, I was shaking all over.

Seeing that I didn’t respond at all, George was furious and picked up a glass and threw it at me...

A dull pain rose in my forehead and blood gushed down.

The ward fell into silence in an instant.

My body was weak and I couldn’t support it anymore and fainted.

When I woke up again, George was guarding my bed.

Seeing that I woke up, he breathed a sigh of relief and said impatiently, “If it weren’t for my mother’s request, I wouldn’t stay here.”

As he said that, his voice softened and he said bluntly, “Sienna and I were just playing around. Don’t take it to heart.”

After I finished speaking, my phone rang with a notification tone.

It was a transfer of 13,000 dollars from him to me.

I was overwhelmed by the huge pain and shame.

The first time I caught him cheating, he knelt in front of me and cried bitterly.

He said it was just an accident and begged me not to leave him.

I forgave him because of my soft heart.

But cheating could be zero times or countless times.

In less than a month, I caught him cheating in the hotel.

He slapped himself hard countless times, saying that he was just possessed by the devil and he would change.

I believed him.

But in the next two years, he cheated 33 times.

Every time I caught him, he vowed that he would never do it again and begged me not to leave him.

I cried, quarreled, made a scene, collapsed over and over again and finally gradually became numb.

At first, he hid it and didn’t dare to let me find out.

Later, he became more and more brazen when he saw that I couldn’t leave him.

Yesterday, he was photographed by paparazzi having sex with his secretary in a million-dollar luxury car. Today, his scandal with a female star had become a hot topic and tomorrow, I didn’t know which of his lovers would come to my house...

Every time he cheated on me, he would transfer 13,000 dollars to me as compensation.

Looking at the 33 transfers on my phone, my heart ached.

But he said calmly, “I was just playing with them. Don’t take it seriously. You are the legitimate Mrs. Mullins.”

Hearing this, my breathing suddenly stagnated.

He seemed to have forgotten that he and I had not yet obtained a marriage certificate.

Because he said that he could only marry me if I gave birth to the next heir of the Mullins Family.

The heir of the Mullins Family must be a son.

The laughter of a baby suddenly sounded outside the ward.

My mother-in-law walked into the ward with the baby in her arms.

“George, you haven’t seen your son yet, right?”

Hearing that it was a son, George was stunned for a moment, with a little surprise in his eyes.

The next moment, his mobile phone received a message.

He didn’t even look at the child and left in a hurry, leaving only a cold sentence.

“It’s just a little baby. What’s so good about it?”

It was as if the child had nothing to do with him.

My heart seemed to be pinched by a big hand and it was suppressed to the point of exploding.

When I was just pregnant, he was ecstatic.

He said that he would be a good husband and a good father and would give this child a happy and complete family.

Because of his words, I was moved by him.

I had never enjoyed the warmth of home.

What I wanted most was to have a home that belonged to me.

I left the baby in my belly.

I thought he would turn over a new leaf and come back to this family.

I was fooled.

He pretended to be a good husband for less than half a year, but his true colors were revealed.

When I was six months pregnant, I saw him bringing another woman home to hang out.

During the quarrel, he pushed me and almost caused me to miscarry.

Afterward, he humbled himself in the ward and begged me to forgive him for the last time.

He said humbly, “Rosa, the baby in your belly can’t live without a father.”

My bottom line retreated again and again and he became more and more unscrupulous.

I handed him the knife that hurt myself.

My phone vibrated.

Sienna sent a pregnancy check-up form and a photo of George accompanying her for a gynecological check-up. She said.

“So what if you have a child? People who don’t love you won’t love the child you give birth to. With just one word from me, he can abandon you and your child and follow me away. Rosa, you are a joke.”

Yes, I was a joke.

I would never have any expectations for George again.

I did not reply to the message sent by Sienna.

There was no need. I would leave soon.

My mother-in-law brought her son to me and asked me to hold him.

After the child was born, he stayed in the nursery and I had not held him yet.

My body froze and I turned my face away cruelly.

I was afraid that if I looked at him one more time and held him one more time, my heart would waver.

My mother-in-law saw my determination and tears overflowed from her wet eyes.

“The baby has just been born and you are going to let the baby be without a mother… For the sake of the baby, can you try to live with him again?”

My heart trembled fiercely and tears burst out of my eyes.

My throat was choked and I couldn’t speak. I just kept shaking my head.

I couldn’t bear to leave the baby, either.

But as the eldest son of the Mullins Family, I couldn’t take the baby away.

But I had no way to stay in the Mullins Family anymore.

I didn’t want to be trapped in this desperate family for the rest of my life because of the child.

After a while, my mother-in-law begged.

“Wait until you recover before leaving, okay?”

My nose was sore and I nodded.

I didn’t want to stay in the hospital. I went home when I felt a little better.

I fell into the water right after giving birth and was seriously injured.

It would take at least more than a month for my body to fully recover.

During this month, I packed my luggage bit by bit.

Throw away what should be thrown away, destroy what should be destroyed and the room that was originally packed full became empty bit by bit.

During this period, George went home more and more often, contrary to his usual behavior.

But he didn’t notice anything unusual at home.

One night, he pushed open the door and walked in, lying next to me.

The moment he approached me, my body froze instantly.

He saw my resistance and couldn’t help but sneered.

“Do you think I would touch you? You look so ugly now. I have a lot of women outside. Why would I touch you?”

My heart was stabbed with a knife and blood was dripping.

Falling into the water after giving birth caused irreversible damage to my body.

Add to that the sequelae of postpartum, body shape, hair loss and difficulty in defecation...

Even if I forced myself to eat all kinds of nutritional supplements every day, my face was still pale and haggard that couldn’t be concealed.

I didn’t say much and turned my back to him.

He stared at me quietly for a long time and suddenly said.

“Rosa, can we live a good life in the future?”

My heart skipped a beat.

My mother-in-law promised me that she would keep the news of my leaving a secret from me, so why did he say such a thing?

George said reluctantly, “Mom asked me to calm down and get a marriage certificate with you. You gave me a son, so I should take responsibility.”

I pulled the corners of my mouth, but I couldn’t even smile bitterly.

The baby room was right next door, but he never stepped into it.

And he never took a good look at our baby.

On the contrary, I could receive protest messages from Sienna on my phone every day.

He accompanied Sienna to prenatal checkups, made nutritious meals for Sienna and personally massaged Sienna’s swollen thighs...

He gave Sienna and the baby in her belly all that tenderness and companionship.

What qualifications did he have to ask for a marriage certificate from me?

I closed my eyes, pretended to be asleep and kept silent.

I didn’t want the marriage certificate that I had been waiting for for many years.

Time passed, my health was getting better and better and the day I left was getting closer and closer.

My mother-in-law couldn’t shake my determination, so she could only smile bitterly and start to arrange things after I left.

My baby didn’t meet a good pair of parents, but fortunately, he had a mother-in-law who loved him wholeheartedly.

I decided to register my baby’s household registration under my mother-in-law’s name.

Even so, from a legal point of view, there would be no father-son relationship between the baby and George.

My mother-in-law promised with tears in her eyes.

“Don’t worry, I will take care of the baby in the future and I will not let the baby suffer any grievances.”

On the day when the baby was about to be registered, my mother-in-law asked me nervously, “You are his mother. You should name him.”

I gritted my teeth and refused.

After the name was given, there was a thought.

It was better to pretend that I had never given birth to this child.

My mother-in-law’s eyes were moist, but she said nothing.

George happened to see it.

Looking at the household registration book in the mother-in-law’s hand, he frowned.

“What are you doing?”

My mother-in-law wiped her tears and said, “You came at the right time. You can give the baby a name.”

George’s face was full of carelessness.

“It’s just a name. You can just give it by the way, no need to ask me.”

My mother-in-law disagreed, “You are the child’s father, but you are so careless in naming your child. How can you be a father at all…”
