That night, I didn’t leave; I simply sat alone in the corner, watching this farcical birthday
celebration to its bitter end.
It wasn’t until the party was over that Harry Lee finally noticed me in the corner and offered to
drive me home.
He’s supposed to be my husband, yet it feels like he’s not even coming home.
But he’d barely finished speaking when Vivian Chow approached and took his arm.
“Harry, I’m exhausted. I want to go home and rest.”
Harry Lee stroked her hair tenderly. “Is the baby acting up again? Let’s go home then.”
He left, holding Vivian Chow close, while I was left to get back into the bodyguard’s car, alone.
I feel like a complete fool.
I touched my cheeks, expecting tears, but none came.
It seems that when pain reaches its peak, you truly become numb.
I truly don’t understand,
If he cares so deeply for his childhood sweetheart, why did he marry me and have children?
If he so desperately wants to prove to the world how much he adores Vivian Chow,
Then why doesn’t he just divorce me?
Why insist on keeping our child, only for us to be scorned and ridiculed together?
I didn’t sleep soundly that night.
It wasn’t until the morning that I was awakened by the doorbell.
Vivian Chow, accompanied by her parents, suddenly appeared at my door.
Mr. Chow began to sneer at me the moment she saw me.
“Carrying another man’s bastard, and you still have the nerve to occupy Mrs. Lee’s position?”
“I don’t know how your parents raised such a shameless daughter.”
Mr. Chow also looked at me with disdain.
“Alright, there’s no point in wasting words on someone like this.”
“I feel dirty just looking at you.”
With that, she and Mrs. Chow carried several large suitcases upstairs.
Watching them go upstairs, I couldn’t understand.
How could they, as parents, have raised such a shameless daughter?
Seeing that I was alone in the living room.
Vivian Chow approached me, a mocking smile playing on her lips.
“So what if you’re married? So what if you’re carrying his child?”
“It still doesn’t compare to me and my baby.”
“Oh, and Harry said that after the baby is born, he’ll make my child the eldest son, with the surname Li.”

“As for your bastard, he’ll only take him in as an adopted son, and he’ll keep your surname.” I looked at Vivian Chow’s blinding smile and felt only a sense of boredom.

I looked at Vivian Chow’s blinding smile and felt only a sense of boredom.
I’ve seen this act of hers far too many times.
I stepped aside, intending to leave.

But Vivian Chow suddenly collapsed to the ground, sobbing, ““I’m so sorry, sister. It’s all my
fault.”
Vivian Chow’s cries attracted her parents.
Her mother, like a madwoman, pounced on me.
Just then, the villa door opened, and Harry Lee rushed in.
I was about to explain when Mr. Chow rushed at me, knocked me down, and slapped my face, spewing filthy and vulgar words.
“Auntie…”
As Harry Lee restrained her, a flicker of heartache crossed his eyes.
He was about to speak when Vivian Chow burst into tears and threw herself into his arms. “Harry, you promised that once our baby is born, you’d let my parents take care of it.”
“I live in a small place; it’s not big enough for our family of five.”
“I only wanted to ask Ms. Wyatt if she would mind living with us, but she suddenly hit me…” She covered her face, then her stomach.
She began to cry even louder.
The noise made me feel dizzy.
The place where I was hit was numb and painful; it must already be swollen.
But under Vivian Chow’s palm, her skin was as white as ever, unmarked.
I felt Harry Lee’s embarrassed gaze on me.
I wiped away my tears and stood up in silence.
The husband who once vowed to protect and cherish me for life.
When I needed protection the most, I became the source of another woman’s brazen confidence.
Perhaps our marriage was a mistake from the very start.
He can’t let go of his childhood sweetheart,
so he’s choosing to let go of our marriage instead.
Because I am leaving him in just one day.
