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.
