The excitement in Hansel’s voice was no different than the time I became pregnant five years ago.
I finally realized that his excitement stemmed from the fact that he had a child, not with whom he had a child.
He did not care about the vessel carrying his child.
Our years of love turned into a joke. He and I were childhood friends spanning 20 years. We went from being schoolmates to marrying each other.
When I turned around, I met Colin’s sympathetic gaze. He immediately offered me two pills when he noticed the gradually despairing look in my eyes and my trembling body.
After I thanked him, I told him I’d get my visa and move abroad as soon as possible.
Hansel was at the hospital until nighttime, totally forgetting that he had left me in his car.
Clutching the divorce agreement, I went to the inpatient department and pushed open the door to a VIP room.
Hansel, who was in the middle of feeding soup to Giselle, froze upon seeing me. He blurted out, “Why are you here?”
Stopping what he was doing for Giselle, he quickly set down the spoon and tried to explain things to me.
I handed him the papers. “I need your signature for a company document. Your assistant has asked me to pass it to you. I’ll leave after you get it signed.”
My formal attitude caught him by surprise. He had been expecting me to lash out at him out of jealousy.
He took the papers from me. He was about to go to the second page when Giselle protested by swinging his arm.
“My soup is getting cold! I’m fine with cold soup, but my baby…”
After glancing at me, she held her tongue.
He swiped her nose and dotingly called her fussy. Then, he went to the last page of the document and signed it without taking another look.
I took the papers back from him and immediately walked out of the door without another word.
