Chapter 2
When Davion came back that day, I had already had breakfast downstairs.
He came in hastily, holding a large bouquet of flowers and a gift.
His face was filled with apologies and guilt. “I’m sorry, wife. I was out socializing last night and couldn’t make it back in time.” When we got married, he promised that no matter how busy he was, he would never stay out all night.
But in the past six months, he started coming home later and later.
This time, he didn’t return home all night.
I put down the fork and looked up at him.
The suit, shirt, and tie were all changed.
The scent on the body was clean and refreshing.
It was difficult for him to be so meticulous.
He put down the bouquet and walked over to kiss me, saying, “Honey, I swear, this is the first time and also the last time.”
But I raised my hand to stop him and asked, word by word.
“Did you stay at the company last night?”
Davion didn’t hesitate for a moment, “Yes, you see, all the clothes I changed into were the ones you helped me prepare.”
After speaking, he grasped my shoulder and looked at me cautiously.
“Honey, are you angry?”
“I spent the whole day with you today, how about not going to the office?”
I also watched him, watching the reflection of myself in his pupils. His gaze did not dodge or flinch, showing no trace of guilt.

And I, surprisingly, could hide my sadness very well.
“No.”
I pushed his hand away and said, “Let’s eat first.”
But as soon as he sat down, his phone rang.
I saw him frown and hang up.
But soon it rang for the second time.
He hesitated for a few seconds, but still hung up.
Immediately after, however, news came in.
After Davion saw it, his brows immediately furrowed tightly.
“Marisa, there is an urgent matter at the company…
“You went.”
“Never mind, I’ll let Garrett handle it first and promise to spend the whole day with you,” he said, but his face betrayed his wandering thoughts.
No need, the matters of the company are more important, go quickly.” I calmly looked at him,
even th
pain in my heart became numb.
Davion struggled for a moment, then stood up and said, “I’ll try to come back early to accompany you.” I nodded and watched him hurriedly get into the car and leave.
I realized it too late and wiped away the cool tears on my face.
I called my best friend and said, “Paola, please help me make an appointment for today’s medical check–up at your hospital.”
After the physical examination results came out, I breathed a sigh of relief.
My body remained clean.
I was not pregnant either.
When I married Davion, my health was very poor.
So we never wanted children.
But just in case, I still conducted a thorough inspection.
“Doctor, I would like to ask, how is my body recovering now?”
I didn’t feel relieved until I got a positive answer, and then most of the pent–up frustration in my heart dissipated.
I came out clutching the report card and just turned the corner of the corridor when I happened to hear Davion’s name. “Davion, if I’m really pregnant, can I not have an abortion?”
I stopped in my tracks and watched the two people not far away.
Davion held a cigarette between his fingers, his brow furrowed, showing a hint of impatience.
The little girl had a pale face and cried with tears streaming down her face.”
He tugged at his sleeve and shook it pleadingly.
Davion sneered, “My wife hasn’t given birth yet, is it your turn?”
“But this was my first baby, I couldn’t bear to.”
“I promised that I would behave well and never cause you any trouble.”
“I would never let your wife know about my existence and the child’s.”
Davion patted her face with a cigarette in his hand and said, “Don’t be naive, baby. It was impossible for you to have a child.”
“If you listen to me, I will buy you a house after I hit the child.”
“But if you don’t hit, Danica, I have to be upfront with you.‘
“There were plenty of beautiful and obedient girls in your college, it was effortless to sleep with a different one every day, and it wasn’t like it had to be you.”
The little girl was frightened by his words, tears streaming down her face, her complexion turning pale.
