When Nova saw me throw up, she wrinkled her brows in disgust and moaned that I was an embarrassment.
However, Leon shifted his gaze to my lower abdomen and said with certainty, “Emily, are you pregnant?”
“Pregnant women are so troublesome," he stated. "Go away, I'm not playing with you anymore!”
Leon's words made Mason frown. When he was about to ask a question, Nova shook the bracelet on her wrist and threw herself into his arms, acting pitiful as she moaned, "Mason, I didn't even tell you that I was pregnant, so how did Emily find out?”
“I’m the one who’s actually pregnant, but I never mention morning sickness to get sympathy," she continued. "Yet, Emily’s willing to fake anything just to make you feel sorry for her!”
When Mason heard Nova's accusation that I was faking it, the nervous look on his face immediately disappeared and was replaced with annoyance.
“I knew it," he sneered. "A hen that hasn’t laid an egg in six years wouldn’t just suddenly get pregnant. Emily, your little schemes are truly disgusting!”
Mason actually thought my little schemes were disgusting.
His parents looked down on my family background and wanted to prevent Mason from being suck dry by me. So, on the night of our wedding, they summoned me to the old Lawson Mansion and made me kneel before their ancestor and swear that I would never use Mason’s money to support my family, or else I'd be struck by lightning.
I endured that humiliation and made the vow, for Mason’s sake.
Afterward, his mother’s expression finally softened and she made a lofty promise, “This bracelet symbolizes the family’s acceptance. If you can go ten years without using a cent of Mason's money, I’ll pass it on to you.”
So, I used my own salary for six years to support Mason. But it turned out that, without my knowledge, Mason's parents had already given the bracelet to Nova and without my knowing it, she and Mason had even had a child together.
“When did you two ...” My throat tightened and my eyes turned red.
Seeing my state, Mason, for the first time, offered me an explanation, "Emily, this is because of you. When I was drunk that night and asked you to pick me up from the bar, you were busy with a business trip and didn't answer the phone, so I mistook Nova for you.”
“Emily, this happened because you didn’t keep an eye on me. What gives you the right to give me a hard time?”
The more he spoke, the more self-righteous he became.
The flood of comments on the screen also defended him.
[The male lead woke up that day and realized he had mistaken someone else for his wife and it's almost tearing him apart! He made a mistake, so why are you holding onto it, female lead?]
[The female lead chose to go on a business trip instead of staying with her husband, so she deserves to be cheated on! Now she’s upset, but it’s too late for that!]
Mason had cheated on me during our marriage, yet he made me out to be the villain.
After all the sincerity that I gave him and things had come to this, I’m truly exhausted.
“Mason, I’m serious about the divorce. Don’t be late tomorrow.”
After saying that, I stood up to leave. Mason reached out to stop me, but failed and his expression darkened immediately and he sneered, "Emily, the whole internet knows you’re my pathetic doormat.”
“If you divorce me, do you want to be a widow for the rest of your life?" he asked. "If anyone is going to leave, it's me leaving you. What gives you the right to ask for a divorce?”
After saying that, he picked up Nova and carried her into the master bedroom and soon the unmistakable sound of lewd panting sounded from inside."
" …. Mason, be careful … don't to hurt the baby …”
“Relax, I’m being gentle.”
