I was pregnant with Gavin Smith's child.

When I went to the hospital alone for emergency treatment in the middle of the night due to abdominal pain during pregnancy, I ran into Gavin and a woman being sent to the emergency room naked.

The next day, the news exploded on the Internet, saying that Mr. Smith and his mistress had sex in the car and almost died of suffocation in the garage.

I touched my belly which was not yet showing any signs of pregnancy, and my body trembled a little.

Everyone says that I am Gavin's first love and his most beloved wife.

But I knew that the 28-year-old Gavin was no longer the boy who loved me deeply when he was 18.

When he came home late, his white shirt was stained with long hair that didn't belong to me, and I had never seen his underwear before.

A beautiful young female college student had just joined Gu's company. My friend said that the girl looked a bit like me and reminded me to keep a close eye on Gavin.

I went to watch it secretly, and she indeed looked like me when I was young.

When I confirmed my pregnancy, I gave the divorce agreement to Gavin.

He was so angry that he threw me on the bed and asked me, "What are you crazy about?"

It was two days later that Gavin returned from the hospital.

He looked haggard as he took off his ill-fitting coat and threw it on the sofa.

He said to me, "Run a bath."

He said nothing about where he had been during the past two days.

I didn't respond.

Gavin came over and snatched the book from my hand, "I'm talking to you! You're always reading books all day. Can books be eaten or used as money?"

If he looked down, he would see that I was reading a parenting book.

I looked up at him and said, "Didn't you like me reading books the most?"

Gavin said sarcastically, "How can you compare your current appearance with your past?"

He made no secret of his disdain.

After we got married, seeing that I was running around outside, he asked me to quit my job and stay at home.

I cooked for him in different ways every day. The fumes turned my face yellow and my once delicate and white hands became rough and hard.

At first he felt sorry for me and ate up all the food.

But later on, he started to find fault with the food I cooked and complained that it was not tasty.

I thought the food was really bad, so I read through cookbooks to learn the most difficult dishes, but he never praised the food for being delicious again.

Looking at Gavin quietly, there was only disgust on his face without any warmth.

I brought up the matter of divorce, "Sign the divorce agreement if it's convenient. It's not good for either of us to drag it out."

Gavin's face was frighteningly gloomy.

"Yana, how long are you going to make such a fuss? I provide you with food and clothing. What gives you the confidence to divorce me?"

I smiled and said, "Haven't you already found a replacement? I can make room for her."

Gavin was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized that I was talking about Yuki.

She was a college girl who looked like me.

He took Yuki to our school, walked along the path where we had our date, and squatted down to tie her shoelaces.

He did everything for her that he had done for me before.

The look in his eyes when he looked at Yuki was exactly the same as the look that he looked at me when he was eighteen years old.

Gavin did not sign the divorce agreement in the end.

Instead, he asked Madam Smith to stay here for a while, saying that she was taking care of me, but actually she was just monitoring me.

Gavin didn't tell her that I wanted a divorce.

Madam Smith was a bitch who only cooked when Gavin was at home.

She never cooked when Gavin's not at home, under the pretext of helping me lose weight.

In the past, I would have endured it.

But now, I turned around and ordered a table of star-rated takeout.

She looked at the receipt on the takeout bag and said I was a spendthrift.

She even called me a hen that didn't lay eggs.

I stroked my belly and smiled coldly. If I hadn't had a miscarriage while accompanying Gavin in starting a business, my child would have been old enough to help me with cooking.

But it's not too late now.

Gavin came home early, contrary to his usual behavior. When I entered the house, Madam Smith was scolding me.

"No wonder Gavin has an affair. It's because you is not virtuous enough to keep him, isn't it?"

It turned out that she also knew Yuki.

I was so disappointed that I said sarcastically, "We're in 21st century rather than the old society. Mom, are you still thinking about foot binding?"

Gavin didn't say anything when I was scolded. However, when he saw that I retorted, he ordered me to apologize,

"Yana, apologize to mom and stop using your shrewish ways on her."

Sure enough, I was the only outsider in the Smith family, and they were all united.

When my family was well off, we often had to support the Smith family and also had to take their poor self-esteem into consideration.

They were always ungrateful.

I couldn't help but sneer.

I laugh at myself for being so stupid back then, believing that love was more important than anything else and insisting on marrying Gavin despite my parents' objections.

Not only did he not give me betrothal gifts, I also used my own savings to buy a house for the marriage.

I looked at Gavin and said, "You can't even admit your mistakes. If you were a man, you should sign the divorce agreement right away so your mother won't have to suffer."

Gavin looked at me in disbelief.

In the five years since we got married, I had hardly ever disobeyed him and had done my best to please his families.

Madam Smith was shocked and angry.

When I turned to leave, I heard she was asking Gavin, "Did she really ask for a divorce? When will you marry Yuki?"

It seemed that she was still unaware of the ugly thing Gavin had done.

There was a crowd of reporters outside the door.

They came here to gossip about Gavin.

Gavin didn't like to bring me to public appearances, and no one had seen Mrs. Smith except people in her small circle.

A sharp-eyed reporter shouted, "It's her! The heroine of the car sex scandal!"

For a moment I was blinded by the flash.

They mistook me for Yuki.

Passersby stopped to watch the fun and pointed at me.

"How shameless! You deserve to be scolded for seducing a married man."

"How impatient she must be to do that in the garage. Is Mrs. Smith so old that Mr. Smith has held back for too long?"

More and more people came to amuse me, and their saliva sprayed on my face.

Gavin and Yuki did such a dirty thing, but I was here being looked down upon.

Why?

Standing at the door of the Smith family, I said loudly, "I am the old and ugly Mrs. Smith and we're going to divorce."

Unilateral announcement of divorce.

I opened my marriage certificate to prove my identity which I was going to take it to go through the divorce procedures.

All people immediately became silent.

There were only whispers, "Why does Mrs. Smith look so much like the woman who had sex in the car..."

"Could it be that Mr. Smith likes this kind of women? Is he a stamp collector..."

I knew Gavin was behind the door.

He never came out.

When I was about to leave, people automatically made way for me with sighs.

Gavin had held the image as loving his wife for many years, but now it completely collapsed.

I was homeless and could only go to my best friend's house.

After my father went bankrupt, he died of depression not long after, and left me some money.

At that time, Gavin's company encountered difficulties, and I gave him the money my father left me to help him.

I didn't expect that what I gave away was my own retreat.

My best friend asked me why I wanted to keep the baby. It would be better to abort it with such a scumbag father.

I pretended to be relaxed and said that Gavin had good genes, and his looks and academic qualifications were impeccable, so it was a good fit to leave the father and keep the kid.

Gavin likes children.

I had known this since my first pregnancy.

That was when Gavin loved me the most.

How could he not love me? He proposed to me three times before I agreed.

He said the luckiest thing in his life was marrying me.

Every day he would lie on my belly to listen to the fetal heartbeat and tell bedtime stories to the rice-sized baby.

I laughed at him for being stupid, but he didn't care at all.

He learned to cook soup and made pregnancy meals for me. We lived our small wedding room simply and happily.

I thought it was the beginning of a good life, but it turned out to be the end.

His business grew better and better, and he came home later and later.

In the past, whenever I cried, he would kiss away my tears lovingly, but gradually he just pretended not to see it.

He became increasingly dismissive of my ideas.

When he was drunk, he would treat me as a prostitute and say dirty words to me.

I gradually realized that the bright and clean boy in my memory was far away from me.

Only when I saw the burns left when he cooked soup for me could I confirm that the man lying next to me was really Gavin.

I was staying at my best friend's house to rest.

I thought Gavin would come all over the world to settle accounts with me.

Unexpectedly, Yuki was the first person to come here.

She blocked me at the gate of the community, raised her chin and said, "I'm pregnant. Old woman, don't bother him anymore."

Compared with Yuki, I was indeed old. No wonder Gavin liked her.

When I first met Yuki, she was still a little immature and rustic.

Now she was different from before. Gavin treated her like a rich girl.

I nodded. "Oh, that's good."

Yuki was surprised by my calmness, "Aren't you angry?"

I replied, "Why should I be angry? You should go and persuade Gavin to sign the divorce agreement."

Yuki looked a little embarrassed, "Do you know what Gavin said to me? He said you were like a dead fish in bed who was very boring."

Gavin didn't say this before.

He hugged me and said he liked my body and loved our love every night.

I smiled and said, "It's a pity that he had a crush on me for two years, pursued me for three years, proposed to me three times, and married me for five years."

Yuki was even more annoyed, "Gavin loves me now. He listens to me in everything. In fact, I am not pregnant, but I said I was, and he believed me. He wants to take me to the Smith family to take care of me tomorrow."

I touched my abdomen and felt warm.

I said calmly, "Do you want me to put up a banner to welcome you to the Smith family as a concubine?"

After all, Yuki had never experienced the harsh beatings of society.

Gavin doted on her, so she thought everyone had to flatter her.

Especially me, the defeated one.

She was furious, "No wonder Gavin leaves you. No man would want a shrew who is vicious and mean?"

I lowered my eyes to hide the emotions.

I used to be bad at talking and was not good at quarreling, but in recent years, Gavin forced me to quarrel and make a scene.

An exhausting marriage would really change people.

I didn't want to get entangled with Yuki anymore.

Flies didn't bite seamless eggs. Ultimately, it's Gavin's problem.

Gavin was so concerned about his reputation that he was willing to take Yuki home despite the scandal.

It seemed that he really valued their baby.

I went back home to pack up.

Gavin was back.

He opened the car door himself and carefully helped Yuki out of the car.

Madam Smith followed behind, looking at Yuki's belly and smiling lovingly.

What a warm family scene.

When I was pregnant before, I was called pretentious for not being able to bend down to clean the toilet.

Their faces changed when they saw me.

Gavin's eyes were a little evasive, "Why did you come back now?"

I looked him straight in the face and said, "This is my home. Why can't I come back?"

Gavin let go of Yuki's hand, "I just happen to have something to tell you."

Yuki bit her lip, looking displeased.

Gavin took me back to the room on the second floor, "Honey, Yuki is pregnant, I must bring her back."

I hadn't heard him call me like this for a long time.

Seeing that I didn't respond, he continued, "I know I owe you. Don't worry. She lives on the first floor and you live on the second floor. I won't let her disturb you."

I was so angry. "Gavin, do you really have to disgust me like this?"

Gavin suppressed his temper and coaxed me, "Honey, I need a child. If you don't give birth. Is it better to let someone give birth for you? Then you may rise the baby as your own."

I shook off his hand and took a deep breath, "Sign the divorce agreement. I'll promise to disappear from your sight completely."

Gavin's face changed and he grabbed my arm, "Don't even think about it. I won't sign it."

"If you let me go, I'll do what you want. Isn't that good?"

His voice sank, "Yana, I can leave you, while you can't leave me."

I felt a little sore in my eyes, and I quickly said, "You're hurting me."

I almost forgot that Gavin was always so paranoid.

In order to get into the same university as me, he wrote hundreds of question sets.

In order to save money for my birthday in college, he worked as a tutor during the day and delivered takeout at night, and he wore out several pairs of shoes.

When my parents did not agree to the marriage, he stood in the rain for two days and was hospitalized with pneumonia.

It was because of his paranoia that we had the subsequent entanglement.

I said word by word, "I don't love you anymore, Gavin."

I had been brewing these words in my throat for a long time, but I couldn't bear to say them out loud.

Now saying it loudly, I felt that there's a big hole in my heart.

Gavin was stunned for a moment, and suddenly kissed me fiercely.

My lips were scratched by his teeth and the taste of blood filled my mouth.

I pushed him away with all my strength, "Gavin, the indictment will be sent to your company."

It was okay that he didn't sign the divorce agreement. I would sue him.

When in love, people can overcome all difficulties, and the same went for leaving.

Gavin was panicked for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure, "Don't forget that I have the old house left by your father. Recently, the Smith family is interested in that piece of land and is planning to raze it and rebuild it."

I looked at him in shock.

He actually threatened me with the Combs family's ancestral home!
