“I’m not leaving! I’m not going to cowardly run away like as I did three years ago!”
“Okay.”
Kevin extremely mockingly sneered, turning around, close to her ear, and declared word by word, “You have forced Bella to hell, and from now on, I will let you live in hell as well.”
Freya’s face was miserably pale at once.
Bella took a whole day’s train ride to F City. There was no place she could go, and the only man she could go to for shelter was her uncle Armand.
After getting off the train, her uncle and aunt were already waiting at the train station. The moment they saw her, they excitedly ran over. Her aunt held her hand and said, “Bella, it’s so good to see you, quickly let me take a closer look. Ouch, why are you so skinny? Have you been skipping meals all day?”
Bella smiled bitterly, “Auntie, I’m a bit tired, let’s go back first, okay?”
“Good, good, Armand, quickly take the niece’s luggage.”
They took a taxi back to their residence. Bella sized up her uncle and aunt’s home, which was not as luxurious as the Jones-Sharp family’s mansion, but it was not oppressive. Her uncle poured a cup of water to her, “You must be hungry. Your aunt has gone to get you food.”
She nodded and asked her uncle, “What are you guys doing now?”
“Hey, what else can I do?” Armand sighed, “Your aunt’s health is on and off. She relies on medicine every month to maintain her health, and I’m on the docks to drop off goods for others. My salary isn’t low but I’m also strapped for cash after removing living expenses.”
“Then why didn’t you tell me last time you went to B City?”
“We’ve already bothered you too much. We can’t live on you forever.”
Auntie brought over a bowl of hot dumplings, “Fill your stomach first. You must be exhausted after such a long trip.”
Bella took the dumplings, trembling, putting one into her mouth. She had forgotten how long she hadn’t eaten anything but she didn’t feel hungry at all. A man might be too sad and he won’t starve to death easily.
“How did you have time to come to F City to see us this time? Don’t you have to work?”
Armand and his wife didn’t know about their niece’s divorce yet and simply thought that she was just visiting relatives in F City.
“I resigned from my job over there at school.”
The couple was stunned and patted their thighs, “Resignation is good. You are married to a mansion and should have given up your job a long time ago. How good it is to be a comfortable young lady at home!”
“I’m divorced.”
“What?”
The couple’s jaws dropped this time, “What did you … you say?”
Armand stuttered and asked.
“I’m divorced and now I have nothing.”
“No way. Wasn’t it was still fine the last time we went there? How come you got divorced?”
Armand and his wife simply couldn’t take it and thought that their niece was joking.
Bella’s lips moved a few times, and tears come to her eyes and dripped into the hot dumplings.
Seeing her weeping, Mika realized the seriousness of the problem and asked with a promise, “You’re not really divorced, are you?”
“I don’t have to lie to you about such things.”
“And why is that? There has to be a reason. Divorce isn’t just a family affair.”
Bella put down the bowl in her hands and said tearfully, “Because I can’t have children.”
“You can’t … can’t … can’t … can’t have children!!!”
Mika stared in shock, looking askance at her niece’s abdomen, “You said you can’t have children?!!!”
“Yes.”
Bella nodded tearfully.
“How come you can’t have children?” Mika cried at once, “How could you a healthy girl not be able to bear children?!”
Perhaps because of her inability to have children, Mika was even more unable to accept this cruel fact than Armand.
Bella began to recount the pain she had endured for the past half a year, and when she reached the sad part, she cried so hard that she couldn’t hold herself back. She thought that she would never shed tears again in her life, but when thinking of Kevin, her heart still hurt so much that she couldn’t breathe.
“This bunch of sons of bitches, they are simply not human!!!”
After Armand listened to his niece’s words, he was so angry that he smashed his fist on the table, and the hot water bottle on the table fell to the floor because of the vibration, shattered with a crack, and hot water flowed out.
If Bella was forced to divorce because she couldn’t have children, Mika felt that it wasn’t impossible because it was a rich and powerful family. Since ancient times, a gentry family couldn’t accept a daughter-in-law who couldn’t have children. Her poor niece was miserable.
“Bella, why are you as miserable as your mother …”
Mika hugged Bella and cried very sadly. Back then she witnessed the miserable fate of Bella’s mother but she never thought that twenty years later, she witnessed Bella’s miserable fate again, and even more so, Bella looked even more pathetic than her mother. At least her mother lost her love but had a child while Bella had nothing.
“What are you going to do from now on?”
Mika wiped the tears from her eyes and inquired sadly.
“I want to live with you. Although I can survive in other places, I’ve already lost my mom and the people I love so much and I’m really lonely by myself, so I don’t have any family anymore. You are my only family. Being with you guys is just like being with my mom. Of course …”
Bella paused, “If it’s inconvenient for you, then I’ll leave tomorrow. I’m not making you have to take me in but I just don’t want to be lonely.”
“You’re staying here. Don’t go anywhere!”
Armand stood up and walked to her, “More than ten years ago, when my sister entrusted you to me, I was a bastard and did not promise. Now, I will never be that bastard again. I will take good care of you even if I give away all I have. From now on, your aunt and I will treat you like our own daughter, and even if we live a little poorer, as long as we are happy, then everything will be fine. ”
“Thank you, thank you …”
Bella cried in gratitude, and Armand and Mika cried. They hugged each other and cried.
After crying for a long time, Mika got up and said, “There’s an empty room next door. I’ll go and clean it up for you.”
“I’ll help you.”
Bella wiped her tears and came next door along with her aunt. It was a ten-square-foot room, not as big as the secret room she used to live in at Jones-Sharp’s house, but she was content. The room was small but it was enough to make her reborn.
She must get out of her past depressing life as soon as possible and live out a brand new self.
Mika saw her standing dazed by the door and couldn’t help but sigh, thinking that what kind of sin is this? She was obviously twenty-six years old, but due to the cruel fate of the torture, she was like a thirty-year-old woman.
She didn’t look brilliant as a twenty-six-year-old girl, but her eyes were more vicarious than those of a thirty-year-old woman.
After losing Bella, Kevin drowned his sorrows in wine every day. Freya was more anxious day by day. She found that this life was far from her imagination because she almost couldn’t see Kevin every day. In the morning she woke up but he had gone. At night she slept but he only came back. He had never had a meal with her at the same table, let alone care about her pregnancy status.
She decided that she couldn’t go on like this. She came to Jones-Sharp’s house by all means and didn’t want to live as a widow. So she stayed up in the living room that night, wanting to wait until Kevin came back and talk to him.
She knew that Kevin seemed to be cold on the surface, but in fact, his heart was very soft, and if she cried to him a few times, he would definitely be sympathetic to her.
It was not until 11 o’clock in the evening until Kevin came back. Freya heard the sound of a car starting outside and ran out excitedly to greet Kevin with the most tender smile. As a result, she saw a picture that irritated her. Kevin held a woman in the car and necked with her passionately.
She was so angry that she rushed forward and smacked the window of the car, “Come out, you guys come out!”
Kevin opened the car door and stepped down with the strong smell of alcohol and asked with drunkenness, “What for?”
“Why are you asking me? And I have to ask what you’re doing!!!”
The woman who was making out with Kevin in the car also came down and twisted her slender waist to stand beside Kevin, answering for him, “What are we doing? Can’t you see with your eyes?”
“You …”
Freya was so angry that she stretched out her hand ready to slap her hard, but the woman looked so tiny but was so strong. She held Freya’s wrist and slapped her instead.
“You dare to hit me!!! Do you know who I am? You dare to hit me!”
Freya was going crazy covering half of her face. It was a fantastic shame! She was a young lady and she was being slapped by a woman of unknown origin!!!!
“Of course I know who you are. You’re just a mistress who marries him with a son. What’s the big deal?”
The woman took Kevin’s arm and said coquettishly, “Mr. Jones-Sharp, every minute with lovers is precious. Let’s not waste time here.”
“Fine, let’s go.”
Kevin nodded in a daze.
“You guys stop right there!”
Freya roared hysterically and rushed to them, pushing Kevin with all her might, “What do you mean? Are you bringing a bitch back here in front of me? Are you mad at me or do you want to be mad at the baby in my belly!!!”
“Hey, hey, hey, watch your mouth, who’s the bitch? If I were a bitch you’d be no better than me!”
“Kevin!!!”
Freya was going to break down.
“Yes? What? I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what she said …”
Kevin giddily smiled at the woman beside him and left Freya behind.
They entered the living room talking and laughing, and Kevin stuck to the woman’s ear and praised her, “Good fight.”
“It’s nothing, as long as you’re satisfied.”
Freya was still standing like a fool. She hadn’t accepted the fact that Kevin had taken the woman home, and when she reacted, she rushed upstairs like a madwoman and pounded on Kevin’s bedroom door, “Come out, you bitch couple come out!!!”
In the bedroom, Kevin had regained his indifferent expression and was sitting on the sofa like a Hades, and the woman quietly asked him, “Will she just scream all night?”
“No, she’s asking someone to help soon.”
Kevin sneered.
As he expected, Freya was tired of shouting, so she turned around and ran to Patrick and his wife’s room, knocking hard on the door, “Mom and Dad, you guys get up, hurry up!”
Blanche rubbed her bleary eyes and opened the door, “What for?”
In fact, they had heard the ruckus outside the door and just didn’t want to interfere. They knew their son’s temper. He hadn’t wanted to make it easy on her from the moment he agreed to let Freya live in.
“Your son actually brought a woman back for the night! He simply doesn’t give a damn about me, and if you don’t care today, I’ll take your grandson with me and die!”
Patrick also got up and reassured, “Don’t get irritated yet. I’ll go see what’s going on.”
He went to his son’s room, raised his hand, and knocked on the door, but there was no response inside. Blanche also went over and knocked on the door, and there was also no response.
After knocking for a long time and saying a bunch of words, there was never any response from inside.
Patrick sighed and said, “Forget it, he’s upset right now. You just be more considerate.”
Freya angrily roared, “Who can be understanding about such things? I’m not an idiot but you’re asking me to be considerate!!!”
“So what do you want us to do? We can’t break the door down if he won’t open it.”
Blanche looked at her with a helpless face.
“What else can you do if you can’t control your own son? If you don’t get rid of that slut today, no one will have a good time.”
Her importuning finally angered Blanche, and she looked chilling and said unhappily, “If we could control our son, you wouldn’t be standing here today.”
Freya’s face fell, “So you guys don’t stop him, right?”
“Either you tolerate it or there’s nothing we can do about it.”
“Bullshit! Who can tolerate their man having sex with another woman? If you don’t stop him, then you don’t want grandchildren!”
Freya turned around to go downstairs, and Blanche shouted coldly, “You should think carefully. You are only able to get what you want and live in our house because of the child in your belly. If the child is hurt, all your hopes will be dashed.”
Patrick was also indifferent and said, “You said you couldn’t tolerate it, but how did Bella do so? I told you before that even if you married into our family, your life would not be easy. At that time you were confident and said it was okay. But now you’re crying and making us not in peace all the time. Since you can’t do what you said, then don’t make a scheme to conceive a child in the first place to let them not be sad. What’s more, you don’t have a bad time along with them.”
After the couple finished speaking, they went back to their room and slammed the door.
“It’s so annoying. Bella and Kevin have been married for over a year and never have they ever argued. This woman has only been here for less than a week and she’s starting to make trouble in the house.”
“Bear it. When the baby is born, we have to find a way to get rid of her, or else this family will be in a mess every day.”
Freya saw that no one was sticking up for her while she stood still, and suddenly she screamed in a frenzied manner, “Ah-ah-ah-ah- “
