He stared at me quietly for a long time and suddenly said.
“Rosa, can we live a good life in the future?”
My heart skipped a beat.
My mother-in-law promised me that she would keep the news of my leaving a secret from me, so why did he say such a thing?
George said reluctantly, “Mom asked me to calm down and get a marriage certificate with you. You gave me a son, so I should take responsibility.”
I pulled the corners of my mouth, but I couldn’t even smile bitterly.
The baby room was right next door, but he never stepped into it.
And he never took a good look at our baby.
On the contrary, I could receive protest messages from Sienna on my phone every day.
He accompanied Sienna to prenatal checkups, made nutritious meals for Sienna and personally massaged Sienna’s swollen thighs...
He gave Sienna and the baby in her belly all that tenderness and companionship.
What qualifications did he have to ask for a marriage certificate from me?
I closed my eyes, pretended to be asleep and kept silent.
I didn’t want the marriage certificate that I had been waiting for for many years.
Time passed, my health was getting better and better and the day I left was getting closer and closer.
