Alexander Pierce's female colleague is pregnant and is about to give birth.
When she came to my house with her big belly to ask for Children's Day gifts, I was decorating the wedding room.
I asked him hoarsely, and he said innocently: "I just donated sperm to her. I have a clear conscience towards you."
After that, he took her to the mall to pick out gifts.
I directly synchronized the family group and cancelled the wedding.
But everyone thought I was being unreasonable.
Mrs. Pierce said earnestly: "Alexander is good-looking and well-educated. Such genes should be passed on to more people, which can also contribute to the fertility rate."
Mr. Pierce sneered: "He didn't cheat on you, why are you making such a fuss?"
My dad was so angry that he had a heart attack: "You stubborn bastard! How dare you cancel such a good marriage?"
My mother cried and said, "If you cancel the engagement, you will never get married in this life!"
I replied with red eyes: "Then I will never get married!"
But someone sent a message: "Audrey Moore, when will I be in the position?"
……
In the evening, Alexander carefully helped Sophie Young into the house.
The two bought a whole box of toys for their unborn child.
Sophie gently stroked her pregnant belly, and the two smiled at each other, their faces filled with the joy of becoming parents soon.
Seeing me, Sophie smiled and handed me a small gift box. "Sister Audrey, this is a gift I picked specially for you. I just found out today that you care so much about this. Just consider it... my little apology."
I threw the gift box into the trash without even looking at it.
Sophie's smile froze instantly, and tears fell like beads from a broken string, "Sister Audrey, I... I'm sorry."
She choked and hid behind Alexander.
Alexander immediately protected her behind him and looked at me helplessly.
"Audrey, don't do this."
"I just responded to the unit's call for high-quality gene donation. Sophie just happened to be single and wanted to have a child."
"We are just ordinary colleagues, there is really nothing wrong."
"Ordinary colleagues?" My voice trembled. "Saying good morning and good night to each other every day is an ordinary colleague? Sharing the same playlist is an ordinary colleague? Blocking her from drinking at a dinner party and taking a long detour to send her home after overtime is also an ordinary colleague?"
He pinched his brows tiredly.
"You're here again. Haven't I explained all these things to you? You're just suspicious all the time and think too much."
I sneered.
His explanation was laughably pale, something about normal communication between colleagues and seniors taking care of newcomers.
Even though it was full of loopholes, I chose to believe it again and again.
But after five years of relationship, I am unwilling to let it end like this.
Gritting my teeth, I pointed to Sophie's belly and tested him.
"Okay, let's just assume that I overthought and I misunderstood you!" I stared at Alexander and tested him, "Let her abort the baby, and I'll pretend that nothing happened and the wedding will go on as usual."
"Impossible!" Alexander raised his voice suddenly, and suppressed his anger, "The child is Sophie's. I have no right to decide."
Sophie's face turned pale instantly, and she suddenly knelt down in front of me.
She held her belly tightly with both hands, her voice choked with sobs, "Sister Audrey, there's really nothing going on between me and Brother Alexander. The baby is already eight months old, and he was kicking me just now. I can't, I can't..."
She was crying so hard that her eyes were wet and her whole body was shaking.
Alexander's face was tense and he struggled for a few seconds, but he finally relented.
He helped her up and smiled weakly:
"Audrey, if you ask her to abort the baby now, what's the difference between that and cutting open her heart?"
I looked at him steadily, with a sneer on my face, "Why, are you feeling sad?"
