In the evening, I went to the park alone and sat on the wooden chair by the roadside. I could see the joy everywhere.
Looking at those lively children, my mood improved a little. I thought, after the baby in the belly is born, will it be so lovely?
The sky slowly darkened and the wind was cool, but I sat there motionless. I didn’t know what I was looking at. Maybe I wanted to integrate myself into such a happy atmosphere.
When I got home, I locked myself in my room and wrapped myself tightly with a quilt. I felt a little warm.
It’s been a whole day since the scandal, but he hasn’t come back yet.
I don’t know what he really thinks, or he prefers Kathy Clark originally. After all, they have known each other for so many years, and it’s not so easy to let go of it?
My heart has prepared for the worst – divorce.
It’s just that the two words that used to be painless now make me cry.
When I was sad, he really enjoyed sweetness of Kathy Clark, right?
……
I woke up from the nightmare, sat on the bed, looked at the empty room, and felt like I was completely hollowed out.
When I was afraid to want him to accompany me, he was beside other women.
I took a deep breath, stifled the tears at the bottom of my eyes, helped my stomach out of bed, and tried to focus my attention on the baby instead of thinking about the intimate pictures of Ryan Campbell and Kathy Clark.
I drank milk for breakfast. It was cold and uncomfortable.
The weather outside the window is fine, but I can’t arouse any interest.
Looking at the piano with a layer of gray beside it, I got up and walked over. My fingers fell on it and left traces, like touching my lover. I looked at it affectionately.
What came to mind was the picture of him sitting beside me and patiently teaching me to play the piano. He always said I was stupid, but he took the trouble to teach me carefully.
I have never known when I fell in love with him. Maybe it was from that time.
Slowly put him in the heart, slowly remember his good, and slowly fall in his gentleness.
I don’t know if he thought I was stupid when I showed all this. Like Jimmy Davis, he said that he had never seen a woman so gullible.
Mrs. Campbell called to ask me about my situation and said that she would come to see me. I don’t want to face the people of the Campbell family now, and I don’t have the heart to say these things. No amount of comfort from others can be better than Ryan Campbell’s explanation. He didn’t come back, and I can’t listen to what other people say.
I just lied to Mrs. Campbell that I was traveling with my friends and was not at home.
After hanging up, I looked through my mobile phone address book and found a few phone numbers.
Shirley is very busy. Now I don’t even have a friend to talk to.
After thinking about this weekend, I called Ceres Taylor.
Ceres and I can be the most common friends. We are not very familiar with each other, but this is also my closest relationship now.
“Ceres… Do you have time?”
Ceres Taylor at the other end was enthusiastic: “yes, what’s wrong, Irene?”
I said I wanted to travel, but I thought she would refuse. I didn’t expect that we would hit it off.
The place I decided to go is not far. It’s about three hours’ drive from here.
When I packed up, Ceres Taylor and his boyfriend drove downstairs to pick me up.
It can be seen that Ceres’s boyfriend is quite good. At least when his girlfriend decides to go out temporarily, she can put aside her business and become a driver.
Carrying my luggage to an unknown place and leaving this cold home, I also feel that many things that are pressed in my heart seem to have dispersed.
Ryan Campbell is happy outside. Why do I have to be unhappy at home alone.
Irene Nadine’s pov
I always thought that Ceres might not take me as a friend, but I didn’t think that Ceres was in a bad mood when she saw me in the car. She always found a topic to talk about some happy things with me. Because I had a big belly, Ceres took care of me all the way.
The destination is the seaside. It’s very quiet and beautiful. When you arrive here, you feel that all the worries are put down and the whole person becomes relaxed.
I live in a quiet homestay with flowers and plants everywhere. I feel that when I see everything here, my mood slows down. I want to stop and feel the rhythm here.
In order to take care of me, Ceres lives in a room with me, and her boyfriend lives alone.
Standing on the balcony upstairs, you can see the blue sea water.
“Ben, we and Irene are going out for a walk. Are you with us?”
Ben Scott just smiled and said, “go ahead. There are still some things in hand. I’ve finished today. I’ll play with you tomorrow.”
“Well, then, let’s go.”
“Well, be careful.”
I envy such feelings. Ben Scott didn’t refuse Ceres’s proposal to go out to play because of his work. Instead, he brought his work and tried his best to accompany her.
If it were Ryan Campbell, he would probably say he was busy with his work.
He always said he was very busy in front of me, and said that he would accompany me in the later stage of pregnancy, but in the end, he left me to accompany other women.
The sun is very warm, the sea breeze is very gentle, and the waves are gently beating the beach. Everything seems to be just beautiful. It is a pity that the people who accompany me are not the people I want.
As night fell slowly, Ceres Taylor and I sat at the round table on the roof, eating and looking at the sea at night.
Another day has passed. While I want to relax, I still miss that my mobile phone can ring, not to mention a phone, even a short message is good enough.
The news was so loud, but he didn’t make any clarification. Could it be that he just took this opportunity to tell me that he would live with Kathy Clark in the future?
That night, I didn’t fall asleep early in the quiet environment. Instead, I listened to the insects outside the window and my thoughts were confused.
After two days in this beautiful town, Ceres had to work and went back. I chose to stay alone.
In fact, I’d rather stay in a strange place than go back home.
Another day has passed, and I am already familiar with the shopkeeper.
The boss’s wife divorced and built a famous hostel here with her children. She lives very freely.
I think it’s good for me to have such a life in the future. I don’t need to worry about my feelings. I can enjoy my favorite life quietly and pour all my love into my children.
In the evening, the boss and I arranged a birthday party for her son. Everyone was busy.
We all come from different places and are not familiar with each other, but we can happily prepare for the same thing.
I also slowly put down all my worries in such an atmosphere.
Looking at the charming night, I held my stomach, smiled happily, and imagined what my children and I would look like when I reached this age?
When everyone was celebrating happily, a black Rolls Royce stopped at the gate of the guesthouse.
The man got out of the car, looked at the name of the guesthouse, and walked straight in.
All the people were in the hall. Birthday songs were played on the stereo around. The whole scene looked like a banquet.
His appearance was not noticed by many people, and some thought it was tourists from nearby who came to join in the fun.
I smiled and watched the boss’s son make a wish on the birthday cake on the stage until the man behind me approached me. In the chaotic crowd, I smelled the familiar sound of asking, and immediately turned my head to look at him. I was frozen there, and the expression was stiff.
Ryan Campbell looked at me, and his eyes were full of worry. Without saying anything, he held the back of my head and kissed.
