The Eight-Year Lie: Shattered Vows and a Vengeful Heart - Chapter 9
While writing the invitations, Xu Ge sat alone, sending messages on his phone for a long time. I pretended not to see, then took his phone again when he went to shower.
After seeing their chat history, I didn’t know whether to cry or laugh. Xu Ge explicitly stated that he didn’t want the child, and even arranged the abortion time.
He was so ruthless and decisive, completely unlike the Xu Ge I knew.
Xu Ge usually fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow, but tonight he tossed and turned. I was annoyed he was disturbing my sleep, so I sent him to the next room. In the past, he would have whined and begged, but tonight, he left without a word.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for Xu Ge.
After logging into the other WeChat account, I saw countless messages from that woman. She cursed me up and down. I accepted all her accusations.
Yes, I deliberately made Xu Ge believe she was trying to force my hand. I was gambling. Faced with the girl’s message bombardment, Xu Ge said nothing, only transferred fifty thousand yuan, so I gambled that he still loved me.
Sure enough, when the woman saw Xu Ge’s aversion to her, she immediately used the child in her belly to try and keep him. But she never expected Xu Ge to tell her to get an abortion.
I didn’t pay attention to her vicious words. What if she knew everything? She didn’t have the guts to tell Xu Ge.
Around midnight, I heard the door to the next room open, followed by the sound of the main door opening and closing. Xu Ge had gone out. I knew exactly where he was going.
He was a cautious man. Once he set his mind to something, he would see it through, even if it was against his conscience. So, regarding the abortion, he would definitely go and watch her have it himself.
The child was that woman’s last bargaining chip, but what Xu Ge didn’t expect was that she actually agreed to the abortion, and her docility was suspicious.
After Xu Ge left, I set an alarm and forced myself to sleep, because tomorrow I had my own big show.
At 7 AM, when the alarm went off, my phone received two messages. Looking at their content, I smiled disdainfully. A private hospital. Xu Ge was truly cautious.
Then I looked at the message from Xu Ge, saying that he had to leave overnight for urgent work and reminded me to eat breakfast in the morning. What a thoughtful husband! Too bad he was tainted.
At 8 AM, I took the handwritten invitation to Mrs. Liang’s house. Mrs. Liang held the invitation and said many auspicious words for a long time, but these words sounded completely sarcastic to my ears.
Just as Mrs. Liang brought out some pastries, I felt nauseous and ran into the restroom. Mrs. Liang outside was terribly worried. As soon as I came out, she grabbed my hand and asked.
“How long has it been since your last period? Are you experiencing morning sickness and fatigue?”
