Thick layers of ice don't form overnight.
Theo's excuse was that he was always busy and forgot.
He forgot to change the passwords at home, forgot to change all the passwords related to Alexa's birthday. But he never asked about my birthday.
In those details he forgot to change, I feel jealous of his love for Alexa in his youth.
Comparing myself, I felt unloved by him.
Just like his fifth birthday a few days ago, he kept mentioning it, but he completely forgot about it on the day. He even came over to Alexa's house in the middle of the night to fix her doorbell.
"Alexa, don't come to my house anymore. Take your cat away too."
Theo turned around and tell her to leave.
While Elio's cries, Alexa broke down in sobs.
"Theo, would you like to ask me why I left so cruelly that time? Have you ever considered that I have my own difficulty?"
Theo's expression remained grim, but seeing his fists clenched at his sides, I knew he had softened.
"You evil woman! You old witch! Get out of my house! I hate you! You're the one who separated my parents! Get out!"
The cat kept jumping around my feet, making my nose itch. The noise in my ears made my scalp tingle.
My pent-up patience vanished instantly. I kicked the cat and it screamed and ran away, biting Elio's arm.
"Ah!"
Seeing the bleeding wound on his arm, I instinctively reached out to check. But a powerful force from behind pushed me back.
I thought it was Alexa.
But when I looked up, it was Theo.
"Serena, look how you messed up!"
"I never thought you'd be such a selfish woman! If anything happens to Elio today, I'll never forgive you!"
Theo must have been holding back those words for a long time.
He also believed Elio's story that I abused him, so when Elio got hurt, the first thing he did was scold.
Five years of hard work had been in vain.
Seeing Theo getting ready to leave, I quickly stepped forward and handed him the divorce agreement and a pen.
"Sign it before you go." Theo's eyes were filled with rage and he bit his cheek fiercely as he took the pen.
"Serena, don't regret it!"
Theo left, with the child in his arms. Alexa hurried after, glancing at me and smile proudly.
The three of them looked so harmonious together. While me, only stood at the door for a long time, unable to recover.
I lowered my head and took the ultrasound results out of my bag, tears of grief immediately filling my eyes.
My son, you came at the wrong time. Mom couldn't give you a complete family. I hope you can choose better parent next time.
"Julian, please schedule an abortion for me."
I had the abortion without telling Theo.
During my hospital stay, Theo and I didn't communicate at all.
Alexa's post on social media were filled with everyday moments with Theo and Elio. Without me, they became a true family.
[A man who can't cook is not a good husband.]
The photo showed his silhouette from behind and I recognized him immediately.
In our five years of marriage, Theo had never even been in the kitchen, or cooked. But now, he suddenly had time to cook for his wife and children.
It turned out he'd been so busy for five years that he hadn't had any time at all and all he had was me.
The irony of this scene stunned me.
