“As long as my wife is happy, anything is fine.”
But I forgot that as long as Marissa appeared, his eyes would always stay on her.
That was never my illusion.
Noticing my silence, Sean stopped smiling and looked at me nervously.
“Scarlett, what's wrong with you? Why are your eyes red?”
I looked up and asked, “Did you lie to me?”
Sean was stunned, with a hint of panic in his eyes.
But he quickly put on a serious look, “Why are you asking this suddenly? I swore to you when we got married that I would never lie to you.”
Afraid that I did not believe him, he quickly added, “Otherwise, I will lose the person I love forever. Is this oath cruel enough? Scarlett, you can believe me now, right?”
I turned my face away and smiled, but there was a coldness in my eyes.
If you married someone you did not love, would not that mean you lose your love forever?
“Okay, I believe you.” I answered shortly in the end.
Sean breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to carry me to bed, but I stared at him calmly.
“Has the leading actress for the play ‘Flowing Years’ been decided?” I asked.
Sean was stunned.
“Scarlett, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Aren't you planning to not take this role?” Sean sat down, held my hand and asked me with a frown.
He knew very well that I had been practicing my acting skills for half a year in preparation for that play.
But the night before the heroine was confirmed.
Sean suddenly came back drunk. He pushed me down on the bed and kissed me madly.
When our love reached its peak, he held my fingers together and said, “Scarlett, let's have a child.”
I looked at him with a puzzled look.
Sean said with guilt, “I went for a physical examination today and the doctor said I have asthenospermia. It's best to have a baby this year, otherwise it will be difficult to get pregnant in a few years.”
His kisses fell heavily on my neck before he continued, almost coquettishly whispering and pleading, “Scarlett, I know this is unfair to you and you need to sacrifice your work and career, but I promise that after the baby is born, I will let the company get you a few big dramas and make you the heroine, okay?”
I wanted to refuse, but looking at his moist, pleading eyes, I heard my own voice gently ring out, “Okay.”
As a result, Sean tormented me the whole night.
After we were done, he held me in his arms and said, “Then we won't go to the crew starting tomorrow. Let's stay at home and prepare for pregnancy.”
All my words got stuck in my throat.
But little did they know that he did not have asthenospermia at all and did not want a child.
Just because, the night he got drunk, Marissa came to see him.
While he was sleeping, I ran to the underground garage and checked the dashcam.
“Sean, I know you are the best. This play is very important to me. Please give me the female lead,” Marissa begged in a coquettish manner.
Sean was silent for a while before answering, “But I have already promised this play to Scarlett. You know, she…."
The next second his words were interrupted, replaced by rapid breathing.
Maybe it was Marissa who kissed him.
“Sean, I know you like me and I just want to be in that play, even if it means just sleeping with you for one night.
“Just find a reason to explain to Scarlett. Anyway, she is just a minor supporting role, so it doesn't matter whether she acts or not.”
Then there was the sound of a zipper.
Sean could not believe it and directly said, “Marissa, you don't have to be like this.”
He pushed the person away, zipped up his pants again and said in a hoarse voice, “I can give you anything you want, even my life.”
