Chapter 8
Married into the Dudley family with such a background, the husband was considerate of his parents–in–law, loved them, and became pregnant.
He could be called a winner in life.
It is funny to say that when evaluating women’s success or failure, people often focus on the chips. that men give to them. No one pays attention to their own selves.
No one cared about how tumultuous her actual life was.
“Jacey has already left Blackdale.”
“They wanted her to go back and live permanently with her maternal grandparents.”
In the car, Emmett held my hand and said, “From the beginning, I told you that there was no romantic relationship between Jacey and me.”
“We grew up together since we were young. When we were teenagers, she got a scar on her
forehead while trying to save me.”
“I used to really like her when I was young, but now I just see her as a sister.”
“Sandra, you really had no reason to fuss over such trivial matters.”
“However, since you mind, I will also pay attention in the future.”
“I would not meet Jacey privately anymore, nor would I have any other interactions.”
Emmett grabbed my shoulder, trying to pull me into his arms, “That’s it, it’s over.”
“We had a child, and from then on, the three of us lived happily together, okay?”
Actually, at that time, I almost believed it.
It is said that when a woman is pregnant, she secretes a hormone. That hormone makes her reluctant to harm the tiny embryo in her belly.
These days, I have experienced conflicts, dilemmas, and hesitations.
Maci also told me, “A husband can belong to someone else, but a child will always be your own.”
Honestly, in that moment, I had a thought.
Perhaps at this time, I discovered that I was pregnant, it was a chance given to me and Emmett by
God.
Without a woman, one would want to kill their own child with their own hands.
I was no exception.
But just as I was hesitating, Jacey managed to get in touch with me.
“Do you know why Emmett suddenly stopped using contraception half a year ago?”
I paused for a moment; it seemed like it really started from that time.
Emmett did not deliberately use contraception anymore.
“Because, at that time, I had decided to get divorced.”
“You must be thinking, I decided to get a divorce, Emmett should have been more careful with contraception.”
Jacey suddenly laughed when she mentioned this. Her laughter was somewhat grating and melancholic.
“Sandra, I couldn’t give birth.”
“If I could have given birth, how could Emmett have compromised and married you back then?”
“So, do you know how your child came into being?”
“He was only fortunate enough to come into this world in order to pave the way for me.”
“I shouldn’t have told you at this time.”
“It was necessary to wait until the melon was ripe and the stem fell off before the child was born.
“But Sandra.”
In her voice, there was a burning jealousy that consumed her. “I regret it, I would rather destroy this path than have you give birth to Emmett’s child.”
I sat there, feeling very cold.
That kind of chill, as if it instantly spread throughout the body from the soles of the feet.
But I didn’t cry.
Instead, there was a strange sense of relief.
I perceived it clearly. All the emotions, all the attachments to Emmett.
And so, lightly and completely, it was let go.
“Have you ever thought about what would have happened if I had listened to you and insisted on having this child?”
You were not like this.”
“You looked gentle, kind, patient, and tolerant.”
But in your eyes, there was no room for a grain of sand.”
I suddenly laughed, “Jacey, thank you for telling me all this.”
“Sandra, don’t hate me, I was just too in love with him, you know, love is always selfish and blind.”
I did not speak, cut off the call, stood up, and walked to the window.
