“If you can’t handle the struggles of pregnancy, just terminate it already!”
And now, I finally realized that he meant every word.
How ridiculous.
But was it too cruel for me to realize this now?
I stayed silent for a long time.
Finally, I spoke up just before Antonio ran out of patience.
“Okay, I got it. I won’t wait for you.”
With that, I hung up.
Antonio came back early the next morning.
He packed up his things, grabbed the baby items I’d prepared for our child, and got ready to leave.
“A coworker had a baby, and we didn’t have much to give her. I figured we could give her what we got for our baby, and we’ll buy more once you’ve delivered.”

I froze for a moment, instinctively touching my belly.
Right.
I wouldn’t need it anymore.
This baby… would never be born.

Antonio didn’t notice, but as he saw me zoning out, his expression darkened slightly.
A flicker of guilt crossed his eyes.
“Really? You’re being stingy over a few baby items? We can just buy the same ones later. Your pregnancy mood swings are something else. Do you really think you’re a queen or something?”
I forced a smile and meekly replied,
“Okay, I’ll do as you say.”
At that, Antonio was momentarily stunned.
Since getting pregnant, I hadn’t acted so submissive in a long time.
The pregnancy hormones made me emotional, prone to crying, complaining, and throwing fits.
I had seen Sarah on our anniversary.
She was sitting next to us, her face full of sadness as she cradled her belly alone.
“I really envy you two. Your relationship seems so perfect.”
I was about to comfort her when Antonio casually gave her the necklace he had bought for me.
“This necklace suits you better. You take it. Don’t be upset.”
Then, without hesitation, he reached out and gently touched her head.

I stood frozen, my face going pale.
Sarah hurriedly stood up, her face pale, tears welling up in her
eyes.
“No, I can’t take it. This was your anniversary gift. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to ruin your celebration. Please, forgive me.”
By the end, her eyes were red.
And she was almost on the verge of kneeling.
Before I could say anything, Antonio snapped at me.
“Grace! Are you done? It’s just a necklace! If you want one, go buy it yourself! She likes it, so give it to her! What’s the big deal? She’s crying now!”
My words caught in my throat.
Watching Antonio comfort Sarah, I couldn’t hold back anymore and burst into tears.
He shot me an impatient look and pointed at the door.
“Go cry somewhere else if you want! Acting like the queen of the house just because you’re pregnant? She’s already upset, and you still have to get involved? What’s the point?”
Later, he tried to explain.
“She’s been through a lot alone. You’re going to be a mother soon too, so just consider it a good deed.”
How ridiculous.

front of me.
And I was too dumb to see it.
How pathetic.
Her baby was born.
And I was just five months pregnant.
How ironic.
Antonio, your love was truly beneath contempt.

Snapping back to reality, Antonio pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehead.
“Be good. I’ve got a business trip for three days. Can you take care of yourself and the baby while I’m gone? If you were always this good, we wouldn’t fight so much.”
I gave him no reaction.
I just stared at him blankly.
“Are you traveling for the New Year too?”
Antonio’s face stiffened for a second.
But he quickly replaced it with a smile, pinching my cheek.
“Yeah, for you and the baby.”
After Antonio left, I slept the entire afternoon.
When I woke up, it was already dark.
I mindlessly scrolled through my social media, and then I saw

a post from an unfamiliar account.
It was a family photo taken in a hospital.

Sarah was holding a baby, Antonio sat beside her, and his parents were happily standing next to them.
Caption: “Celebrating four years with my husband, and now we’ve got a little one on the way! I’m being spoiled like the baby of the family all over again!”
The comment from Antonio’s mother stood out.
“A happy family is the greatest blessing!”
A happy family?
Can a mistress and her child really be considered a “happy family“?
Five years of our marriage, and they had been together for four?
So, everyone knew.
They’d all been keeping it from me.
I tugged at my lips, unable to stop myself from laughing.
But as the laughter faded, tears started falling in heavy streams, and no matter how hard I wiped, they wouldn’t stop.
Antonio.
I regretted it so much.
Late that night, after I had calmed down a bit, I returned to
my room.
I picked up my vitamins, ready to take them, but something felt off.
