“The baby?” Christine White shook her head with bleary-eyed sadness, “The baby’s gone.”
“What? What did you say?” Debby York stared in disbelief, “The baby’s gone?”
“Uh-huh.”
“How … how come it’s not there?” Debby York looked nervously at her stomach.
Christine White looked up and held back the tears, “Had some accidents didn’t.”
“So you’re the way you are now because the baby is gone?”
“Pretty much.” Christine White said sadly.
In fact, this was only one of the reasons, the other reason, was that her body had really broken down after being drained of bone marrow for the second time, which was why she had lost so much weight all of a sudden.
And her hair, it’s practically falling out in big clumps.
At this rate, she was afraid she’d become bald.
“Christine, so your husband didn’t blame you for the loss of your baby?” Debby York was a little worried.
She did know that a lot of men get mad when they think their wives can’t keep their kids.
Not to mention the fact that it’s a rich family that values heirs even more.
She’s worried about her best friend getting a hard time from her in-laws.
“Don’t mention him.” Christine White sat down somewhat wearily.
Debby York wonders, “Why? Is it true that your husband …”
“No, but something happened between us too, and he and I are getting a divorce.” Christine White smiled reluctantly.
Debby York was horrified and then cried out angrily, “Divorce? What’s with the sudden need for a divorce? So it really is true that your husband is angry and is going to divorce you because the baby is gone, right? Why is that so, call your husband out and I’ll scold him for you!”
“Debby !” Christine White pulled back an emotional Debby York and shook her head at her, “No, I’ve seen it through, and the divorce is probably a good thing for me.”
“But Christine are you willing to do that? It’s too much to divorce you because the baby is gone …”
“It’s not like that.” Christine White sighed, “It’s not what you think it is.”
“Which is it then?”
“I’m not good to tell you, in short, it’s complicated, and I’ve never told you, my husband and I’s relationship, it’s not as good as you think, he doesn’t have me in his heart at all, and with this divorce, I’ll take it as a way to set him free.”
Debby York was completely dumbfounded by this, “So your husband doesn’t love you?”
Christine White hmmm’d.
Debby York’s mouth dropped open, “How can that be, if he doesn’t love you, then why did he marry you?”
“Because the elders in his family strongly demanded it, he always had a love in his heart, his first ex-girlfriend.”
“My God, someone in his heart actually married you, even if the elders asked for it, he didn’t know to resist ah? This is just like a scumbag!” Debby York stomped her feet in righteous indignation.
Christine White dropped her eyes and didn’t answer.
Debby York looked at her heartbroken, “Christine, have you really decided to get a divorce?”
“Uh-huh.”
“So where are you going to go after the divorce, are you going back to The White Family ? I’m telling you, don’t, the kind of people your mom and dad are, they’ll never let you in the house.” Debby York advised.
Christine White cried and laughed, “I have a clear idea in my heart, so I don’t intend to tell them that I want to divorce, and wait for a chance to say in the future, as for the place to go, I will go back to the countryside for a period of time, and wait for the body to be adjusted to get better and then come up to look for a job again.”
“Wait!” Debby York narrowed her eyes suspiciously, “Get a new job, you quit?”
“Yes, that’s what I came to see you about, I resigned.” Christine White nodded.
Debby York was anxious, “I’ll support you in your divorce, after all, what’s the point of keeping the scum if they don’t stomp on it, but quitting isn’t necessary, is it?”
“Look at this body of mine now, how can I possibly work, I can’t just take three days off.” Christine White said, and with a light scratch on her head, she grabbed multiple strands of hair down.
Debby York was shocked, “Why is so much hair falling out?”
“So I’m not in good health right now.” Christine White blew out her hair and pretended to be relaxed.
Debby York’s eyes reddened as she hugged her, “Christine …”
“Don’t worry, I’m fine, I’ll come up to see you sometime, or you can visit me then, it’s not like you haven’t been to my old home in the country.” Christine White amusedly patted Debby York on the back.
Debby York grunted, “But I can’t let you go.”
“I know, and I can’t bear to part with you, but it’s quiet in the country, and it’s just as well that so much has happened in the meantime.”
“I know, I’ll see you.” Debby York released her with a serious look on her face.
Christine White nodded heavily, “Be sure to come, then I’ll leave you to your work.”
“Okay, bye.” Debby York waved.
Christine White smiled at her and got up to leave.
In the parking lot.
Aunt Lucy saw Christine White coming this way and hurriedly went up to assist her, “Ma’am, what took you so long to come down?”
“Said goodbye to a friend.” Christine White returned.
Aunt Lucy nodded, “So, get in the car.”
She pulled open the car door and gestured for Christine White to get in.
But Christine White went behind the door and bent down just as she was about to get in the car when she saw someone already sitting in it.
“Why are you here?” Christine White asked in a cold voice as she furrowed her pretty brows.
Baird Lane put down his cell phone, “Waiting for you.”
“Waiting for me?” Christine White pursed her lips in confusion.
“Yes, I’ll take you back to the villa.” Baird Lane said.
Christine White’s hand on the car door tightened, “No, don’t bother Mr. Lane.”
If it had been before, when he offered to give her a ride, she would have almost cried with joy.
But now, she was indifferent.
“Whether you use it or not is your business, whether I send it or not is mine, get in the car!” Baird Lane’s thin lips pursed up in displeasure.
Christine White watched him quietly for a moment, and instead of doing what he said, she closed the door, walked around the front of the car, pulled open the passenger door and got in.
Baird Lane’s face immediately sank when he saw her like this.
What does she mean by that?
Do you dislike him?
“Drive!” Baird Lane ordered in a deep voice, his breath bad around him.
The driver who was driving the car shook his body in fear and answered, “Yes.”
The journey was uneventful, and it was more than an hour later when they returned to the villa.
Christine White got out of the car and went into the cottage first, not giving Baird Lane a look the whole time, much less saying a word to him.
Baird Lane watched her back, his thin lips pursed into a straight line.
“It’s hard on the heart, isn’t it, sir?” Aunt Lucy walked up to him and spoke suddenly.
Baird Lane frowned, “What do you mean?”
“It’s hard to be ignored, neglected, and cold-shouldered, isn’t it?” Aunt Lucy went into great detail this time.
Baird Lane’s expression changed for a split second and he didn’t say anything.
Aunt Lucy wrapped her arms around her, “That’s how the missus has come through these past three years, and you, sir, should be able to appreciate how the missus feels by now, right?”
With that, she sighed and went into the cottage as well, leaving Baird Lane alone and stunned for a long time.
Indeed, Christine White’s indifference to him all this time had left him irritated, annoyed and a little flustered at the same time.
All in all this felt bad and made him very unhappy as well.
He also realized then that these behaviors were called cold violence, so for the past three years, he had been coldly violent towards Christine White?
At this moment, Baird Lane’s heart suddenly ached and his breathing became a little short.
He never knew that what he did to Christine White together was cold violence, he only knew that he married her and it was unacceptable to him, so he just wanted to subconsciously stay away from her, didn’t want to care about her, and didn’t want to see her even more.
Without thinking that what you are doing is cold violence.
So from the beginning, he was hurting her?
