The Goodbye You Asked For

Everyone knew that I had an enviable marriage and a husband who loved me like his life.

But the day after I found out I was pregnant, I heard him talking to his secretary.

“My wife is pregnant. What about Miss Jenkins and the boy? The boy is already three years old. What if my wife knows about this…”

My husband’s eyes were sharp.

“She must not know about this. Let Regina keep her mouth shut!”

A boy? Three years old? Before I understood what this sentence meant, my phone vibrated at this time.

It was a photo sent by Regina. In the photo, my husband held a little boy high up, his eyebrows and eyes were full of pampering and tenderness.

I staggered back to the bedroom and called my brother who worked in the Overseas Security Bureau.

“Brother, help me create a fatal accident. I want to fake my death and leave Kevin.”

——

“What’s wrong, Maisie? Isn’t Kevin very good to you? What happened?”

I wanted to say something, but as soon as I opened my mouth, tears fell uncontrollably.

Yes, everyone knew that Kevin treated me very well. Ten years ago, he fell in love with me at first sight and started to pursue me madly.

He was the only son of Warner Group, but I was just an orphan without a father or a mother, who could only depend on my brother for life.

Everyone speculated that Kevin was just used to seeing beautiful women and he pursued me just for the sake of novelty. Even I thought so.

But he pursued me relentlessly for five years, until five years ago when I finally nodded and agreed. He immediately announced it to the world and gave me a century wedding.

Everyone thought that this was his obsession with love that he could not get for five years, otherwise why would he rush to get married just after getting together?

Everyone was looking forward to it, waiting to see when Kevin would get tired of me.

But after getting married, he personally broke everyone’s speculation with his actions. For five years, I was still the person he held in his heart.

Until now, everyone in Rodoni City knew that Kevin was vigorous and invincible in the business world. He had only one weakness, which was me.

I understood my brother’s doubts. Even I didn’t expect that Kevin would cheat.

Although I didn’t say anything, my brother on the other end of the phone seemed to sense my emotions. He spoke softly after pondering for a long time.

“The day after tomorrow, I will send a plane to pick you up the day after tomorrow. Leave the rest to me.”

After hanging up the phone, I still kept the posture of making a call.

At this moment, my phone vibrated again. It was sent by Regina.

[Maisie, have you seen the photo? Are you still complacent about being pregnant? My son and his son are three years old. What is your child?]

After seeing this message, all my guesses were verified.

Kevin really cheated. We had been married for only five years, but his son with Regina was three years old.

Thinking of this, I couldn’t hold on any longer. My knees softened and I fell to the ground.

I gently covered my belly with trembling hands.

Inside was the child I had been waiting for for five years, but he came at the wrong time.

Just when I was at a loss, Kevin walked into the bedroom and found me sitting on the ground.

“Maisie, the ground is cold. Why are you sitting on the ground? Are you feeling uncomfortable?”

His face was full of worry and my reflection was full in his beautiful eyes, almost exactly the same as every day in the past five years.

I quietly locked the screen of my phone and forced a smile.

“My stomach is a little uncomfortable, probably because I am not used to the pregnancy and I can’t stand steadily for a while.”
