Chapter 2
I watched his face change from anger to joy, nodded and shook his head.
I reached out and handed him another list.
Keith stretched out his hand to pinch my neck. “Ruby, are you kidding me? Why is our child gone?”
I pried his hand open and reported a date.
I watched with satisfaction as Keith’s face gradually turned pale and the corners of my mouth curled up happily.
Keith had no right to blame me.
Because that day I fell down the stairs and
my stomach hurt so much.
I held on to the last bit of fantasy and
called Keith countless times.
Until the phone ran out of power, until I was in so much pain that I was
unconscious, Keith did not answer the

phone.
And that day was the birthday of his childhood sweetheart.
Keith rubbed his hands and was quiet for a moment. “It doesn’t matter if the child is gone, you are not worthy of being a mother at all.”
Keith washed his hands, as if he had just touched me and dirty his palms and turned back to the study.
If it were me in the past, I might have brought fruit and begged for peace in a humble manner. But in this eight–year marriage, I found that I was not happy in
any aspect.
The person in front of me was no longer the one in my heart.
I turned back to the bedroom and took a
bath with hot water.
Keith did not wait for my request for peace but only waited for an empty and dark

room.
I soaked in the water, letting the water cover my head.
Who would have thought that Keith and I were together because of an accident? The story was a cliché hero saving beauty, but it was incredible.
I was the hero, Keith was also a hero and the kitten in Keith‘ s arms was beautiful.
When Keith was in high school, his father did not allow him to reveal his identity and his mother was extremely strict.
His temperament had always been a little cold and with a good–looking face, he attracted many girls.
Others were jealous and thought he was noble, especially his loyalty to rescuing. small animals, which added a new layer of glory to his cold personality.
Such people were inevitably bullied at
school.

Chapter 2
When I appeared in the alley on my bicycle with a bun in my mouth, Keith was already at a disadvantage. His fair face was rubbed by the wall and blood was on it. He was still holding the little cat tightly in his arms.
I rushed toward the gangsters in the lead on my bicycle.
The gangsters shouted for mercy and ran two miles away.
Keith looked up at me and said that my appearance that day was like a beam of light.
The kitten meowed and rubbed my trouser legs in a flattering way.
Since that incident, Morris realized that he could no longer suppress Keith’s identity and Keith became bolder.
He changed his cold appearance in the past and launched a fierce pursuit of me.
I had been avoiding him because I really didn’t want to cause trouble for myself.

I said to Keith more than once, “I am not saving you, I am doing it for Coco.”
Keith smiled and replied, “I know, I got Coco’s help.”
Until my drunk father smashed the bottle on my mother’s forehead and my mother jumped down from the upstairs.
At that time, my mother was wearing the pure white pearl necklace that my father gave her when he got married.
I looked at the necklace soaked in my mother’s blood and looked up at my father with empty eyes.
I sat under the streetlight and lost my
mind.
When Keith found me, I was almost frozen to hypothermia in the snowy night, wearing thin clothes.
Keith’s embrace awakened my remaining rationality.
I threw myself into his arms and cried

loudly.
I cried and laughed.
I said, “Keith, my mother was wearing that necklace before she died. Tell me, will all men change?”
Keith touched my palms that were frozen and unable to move over and over again and told me firmly. “No, Ruby, I will not change, I will love you forever.”
That day under the streetlight, I kissed his lips. I looked at his eyes that were almost obsessed with the streetlight and said carefully, “Keith, let’s fall in love.”
Keith hugged me tightly in his arms and tears spread over my head..
I looked at the pearl necklace on the ground and murmured, “Keith, if you don‘ t love me anymore, give me a pearl necklace and we’ll separate.”
He cried and shook his head. “No, Ruby, I will love you, for a lifetime, in the next life,

forever.”
I never doubted Keith‘ s sincerity, but sincerity changed rapidly.
