Tired of Loving My Bastard HusbandChapter 1
Claire’s POV
The rain poured down outside, and the smell of the rain lingered in my nose as I waited for my turn at the OB-GYN clinic. Today was the ultrasound I’d been eagerly waiting for, the one that would finally reveal the tiny human being growing inside me.
My husband, Lucas, stood up when he received a call. He nodded and looked at me. Then, he hung up the call and said, “I have an urgent meeting… the company needs me.”
“But Lucas… Can you please stay even just a minute? ”
He leaned forward and kissed my lips quickly, “Don’t worry, I promise I’ll be back as soon as possible. You’re a doctor yourself, right? You know what to do.”
“We are supposed to be—”
He sighed and squeezed my hand, “I’ll be right back, okay?”
Shortly before the OB-GYN doctor arrived, he abruptly left me alone in the clinic. I was really upset, but I kept telling myself that everything would be okay. This is nothing new to me; he's always been a busy businessman, and I understand he can't always make time for me.
"Mrs. Ford?" asked the medical assistant.
Standing up, I forced a smile and asked, "Yes?"
"This way, please…" she said.
