I was pregnant. When I went to find my husband, I overheard him talking to his friend outside the door.
"You care so much about her. Don't tell me you've really fallen in love with her."
He sneered.
"She? After she gives birth to the child, I can be with Cindy."
Cindy is my best friend and our matchmaker.
I didn't expect that they would treat me as a fertility machine.
I pretended that I didn't know anything and took revenge on them.
Recently, I always felt sick when I ate, and my period was delayed for a few days. I went to the hospital for a check-up.
The results came out soon. I asked the doctor again in disbelief about the result.
However, I got the same answer. I was pregnant!
However, Mike and I had been on birth control, and we had only been married for a month. How could I get pregnant in such a short time?
I walked out of the hospital in a daze and immediately took a taxi to Mike's company to discuss the solution.
Growing up in an orphanage, I was afraid that I couldn't be a good mother. So I rejected his repeated ideas of preparing for pregnancy.
I was totally unprepared.
Feeling the gentle breeze blewing in from outside the window, I was still nervous. I put my hand on my lower abdomen, trying to accept the reality.
My mind was full of thoughts. I didn't know if I should keep this child or not. Could I create a perfect family environment for it?
I was familiar with Mike's office. Before I could push my way in, the voice inside the door made me stop in an instant.
"But you care so much about her. Don't tell me you've really fallen in love with her."
I only heard Mike sneer and say coldly.
"She? After she gives birth to the child, I can be with Cindy."
The report in my hand floated to the ground. I was slightly stunned and felt a chill all over my body. My heart was so painful as if it had been squeezed by an invisible big hand.
Cindy was my best friend and our matchmaker.
It turned out that all of this was a conspiracy and they treated me as a fertility machine!
I was so angry that I couldn't help trembling.
Footsteps came from inside the door. I took a deep breath, bent down quickly, picked up the report, stuffed it into my bag, and knocked on the door.
Noah opened the door and walked out. When he saw me outside the door, a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes as he spoke as if nothing had happened.
"Lily, when did you get here? Why don't you come in?"
I suppressed the anger and smiled, trying my best to speak calmly.
"I just arrived. I was afraid of disturbing you."
Mike stepped forward and took me into his arms. He was good-looking and he looked like a gentleman as he spoke gently.
"Baby, leave him alone. Why are you here? It's noon. Let's go eat."
Thinking of his hypocrisy, I resisted the urge to beat him up and nodded gently.
"Okay."
Noah gave me a meaningful look and left.
The meal was boring, but I pretended to be happy.
After lunch, we happened to meet Cindy, who was passing by.
Her eyes lit up and she said in surprise, "I didn't expect to meet you here."
Cindy took my arm and winked at Mike as she tilted her head and spoke in a sweet voice.
"Mr.Jones, can you give me a drive?"
Mike gently looked at her and replied softly, "Of course."
I looked at them indifferently as the two of them ignored me. It was only when I saw the love in his eyes that I realized how ridiculously wrong I had been in the past.
Cindy was well-dressed in a short white skirt with chestnut-colored curls, smiling. It was obvious that she had not happened to pass by.
Were they enjoying the pleasure of having an affair right under my nose?
I remembered such a moment before. But at that time, I cherished the happiness and deliberately ignored those details that made me feel uncomfortable.
Hearing Mike's reply, Cindy's gaze swept over me, a hint of imperceptible pride flashing across her eyes.
"Lily, don’t think too much. I'm just passing by and I don't want to take a taxi."
I nodded indifferently. Feeling my attitude, Mike frowned.
"Lily, don't be unreasonable. It's not safe to leave a girl here alone."
I frowned and tears welled up in my eyes as I spoke weakly.
"I'm sorry. I'm not in a good mood today."
B*tch, stop moralizing me. I also know how to pretend to be kind.
I cursed in my heart, but my tears had already rolled down my cheeks. Although I was acting, I still couldn't help but feel a little sad.
I am saddened by Cindy's deception and the sincerity I gave over the past year.
Cindy let go of my arm and intimately pounded Mike's shoulder.
"How can you be so mean to Lily? Look, she's crying."
Mike did not resist her actions. Instead, he looked at me unhappily.
"Throw a tantrum just because you're in a bad mood?"
I sniffled and said pitifully, "I'm sorry. I'm pregnant and that affects my emotions. I don't want to do this either."
Hearing this, Mike was pleasantly surprised and immediately walked to my side to support me.
"Pregnant? Why didn't you tell me."
I broke into a smile. "Now you know that."
As I spoke, I observed Cindy's expression. Sure enough, she looked angry. Even though she tried her best to hide her anger, I could still feel that.
"That's great. I'm going to be a father."
After saying that, Mike carefully escorted me into the car. Cindy wanted to follow him, but Mike called a car to pick her up.
After the call, Mike said to Cindy who was standing outside the car with a smile.
"Someone will pick you up later. Wait here for a while. I'm going to take Lily to buy some baby products now."
A trace of jealousy flashed across Cindy's face, but looking at Mike's happy face, she did not dare to retort.
After all, she was infertile. She gritted her teeth and replied.
"Alright."
Mike took me to buy a lot of baby products and almost bought all the things in the supermarket. He specially hired a nanny to make special meals for me every day, for fear that I would not eat well.
I leaned against his chest shyly and said gently, "Honey, you're so nice."
Mike stroked my hair and said with longing.
"Lily, I look forward to the child's arrival."
"I'm looking forward to it too."
Although I said that, my heart was indeed dead silent.
This child won’t be born. It will be my knife to stab Mike.
I’ve found that every condom had a hole in it, which was why I'm pregnant.
I pretended to be seriously vomiting during pregnancy so that Mike could take part in the growth of my baby to the greatest extent.
I would even ask him to read bedtime stories for the baby every night and set up a room for it.
As he spent more time with me, I could feel the warmth in his eyes as he looked at me. His expectations for the baby were growing.
During this period, I received an anonymous message, all of which were intimate photos of Cindy and Mike. However, they were secretly taken.
After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure out why Cindy was so crazy to take this kind of photo in order to provoke me.
However, according to the private detective I had hired, he had not seen Cindy alone for a long time.
These photos must have been taken before. It seemed that Cindy couldn't hold it in anymore.
The fish should take the bait soon.
Sure enough, Cindy came with many bags the next day.
She smiled and put down the things. "I'm here to give you something. After all, I should be the baby's godmother."
As she spoke, she winked at me.
Cindy only wore a tank top and super shorts today. It was obvious that she wanted to seduce Mike.
I smiled and nodded. "Of course."
Seeing that Mike's gaze was getting hotter and hotter, I tactfully said that I was sleepy and went into the room to look at the surveillance camera.
They gradually approached each other. I looked at them coldly and smiled.
My revenge had officially begun.
After that day, Cindy often used my name as an excuse to hang out with Mike. I was always very sensible to give the space.
I enjoyed Mike's meticulous care and occasionally watched them hugging in the surveillance camera. It was quite interesting.
However, it was time to add fuel to the fire.
Cindy came again, but this time, I did not go to sleep. Instead, I opened my arms and asked for Mike’s hug.
Mike looked embarrassed as he hugged me. I glanced at Cindy's face, which was so dark, and purposely choked with sobs as I asked.
"I had a nightmare. I dreamed that you abandoned me. Mike, do you love me?"
Mike hesitated for a few seconds before he spoke in a firm tone.
"Of course, don't let your imagination run wild."
I continued, "Do you love me, or do you love the one who can give birth to a child for you?"
Mike paused for a few seconds and replied, "Of course I love you. But with a baby, we will definitely be happier."
Seeing the uncontrollable anger on Cindy's face, I knew that I had achieved my goal.
So I said that I was sleepy. Hearing this, Mike carried me to the bedroom and let me sleep. He also carefully tucked me in.
"Lily, have a good rest. I'll take you out for a walk when you wake up."
I smiled and nodded.
As soon as he went out, I watched the surveillance camera.
As expected, Cindy questioned Mike with anger. She had an innocent appearance, but at this moment, she looked fierce.
"Have you fallen in love with her? Just because she can give birth to a child for you?"
Joey looked impatient. "Don't make trouble. Have you forgotten our plan?"
"The child is still in your hands in the end."
Cindy's face was covered with tears. "I don't want it. I want my child."
"Mike, can you divorce her? I'll go see a doctor, and I can have a baby. Don't let her give birth to a baby for us, okay?"
Hearing Cindy's words, I sneered. She was so good at scheming. When she needed me, she set up a trap to let me in. When she didn't need me, she wanted to kick me out.
But that was impossible.
I stroked my belly. It was up to me to decide whether to keep this child or not, not Cindy.
