Nancy Smith returned, when Raymond Blake and I were most in love.

He held me in his arms, gently stroking my belly with his big hands and whispering soothing words.

“Wanda, you don't have to worry, our family of three will never be separated?”

Such a lie was eventually exposed.

That day, I accompanied him to the rooftop and persuaded Nancy to come down.

But when my stomach was aching severely, I watched them hugging and kissing each other tightly.

Nancy will always be his only love.

I should have known better.

Later, he knelt on the ground and begged me not to leave.

I didn't say anything, but just put the ultrasound picture of the already formed fetus in front of him, and he went completely insane.

Raymond said he had to work overtime tonight and asked me to eat first and not wait for him.

I looked at the screenshots of the post from Nancy's social media sent by my friends, and my heart ached as if it was bleeding.

In the photo, two extremely beautiful hands are interlocked.

The man's hands had distinct joints, and the plain ring on his ring finger was gone, replaced by a faint white mark.

Perhaps the baby sensed my emotions and kicked me gently in my womb.

I called him it rang for a while before being picked up.

“What's wrong, Wanda?”

Raymond's voice was very gentle, without any flaws.

I took a deep breath and managed to suppress my trembling voice.

“Where are you?”

There was a noticeable silence on the other end of the phone for a moment.

“I'm working overtime at the company. I'll be back as soon as I'm done, honey.”

This is the first time he has lied to me in such a long time, because of Nancy.

Raymond, when you lied, what you were thinking about was the guilt you felt towards me, or the regret that you couldn't continue to accompany her.

I've liked him for 10 years, but for a moment I didn't even have the courage to expose this lie.

I just sitting quietly on the sofa, looking at our wedding photos hanging on the wall.

In the photo, I smiled happily and brightly, as if I owned the whole world.

The candlelight flickers, creating a romantic yet desolate atmosphere.

Today is our 3rd wedding anniversary.

The candlelight dinner that was prepared early has now become a huge joke.

Why today?

I don’t know how long it took, so long that even the vehicles on the road gradually became sparse.

The door opened and footsteps that couldn't be more familiar were heard.

"Wanda, I'm sorry. "

Raymond held me in his arms, hugged me tightly.

When I thought about the fact that these hands were holding Nancy just now, I couldn't help feeling nauseous.

Then she pushed him away and ran to the bathroom.

"Is the child bothering you again? "

He stroked my back again and again, and anyone who saw it would only praise him as a good husband and a good father.

I looked up at myself in the mirror. My eyes were red and I looked extremely haggard, in stark contrast to Nancy.

A light pink lipstick mark appeared dramatically on Raymond's collar.

When he saw me staring at him, he finally reacted.

"Wanda, it's not what you think. "

"Today a girl fell down and I was right next to her, so I reached out to help her up and I may have accidentally gotten some dirt on my collar."

He looked panicked, worried.

I said nothing and looked away.

Seeing that I didn't believe him, he took out a necklace from somewhere like a magic trick.

The pink diamond sparkles beautifully under the light.

"Happy 3rd anniversary! "

I let him put the necklace on me.

It turned out that he didn't forget, but just chose the girl who needed him more.

“You went to find her.”

I stated the facts calmly and confidently.

Raymond's originally proud expression collapsed in an instant.

“sorry...”

He held my hand, and he looks like a deflated ball.

"She was abused by her husband and came back alone with her child. I felt pity for her and was afraid that you would be emotionally agitated during your pregnancy, so..."

I took over his words.

"That's why you hid it from me, you locked your fingers with her, as long as I don't know, it doesn't matter. “

I looked up and stared at him, my vision blurred by tears.

”No, that's not truth, Wanda.]

Maybe he knew his explanation was too pale, or maybe he couldn't think of a reason to continue lying.

He just hugged me, thinking that this would make everything smoother.

I didn't argue with him, I just pretended he didn't exist.

He lifted the quilt, pressed his hot body against mine, and gently stroked my belly with his big hands.

"Wanda, I have no relatives anymore. You and the child are my only family in this world. We, the three of us, will never be separated, okay?”

My tense body relaxed.

After so many years of relationship and having a child, it is impossible to break up just like that.

With Raymond's repeated assurances, we reconciled.

But I didn’t expect that my first meeting with Nancy would come so soon.

After I became pregnant, I switched to working online for fear of accidentally harming the baby, which gave me plenty of time.

I have too much free time, so I plan to go to the mall to look for clothes for my baby.

What a coincidence, I saw the "family" that I should least expect to see.

Raymond held a child in his arms, and Nancy followed behind them with a gentle look on his face.

Such a happy scene makes my eyes hurt.

The child laughed out loud at his amusement.

The shopping bag slipped from my hands and the children's clothes were scattered all over the floor.

The air was still between the three of them.

"Wanda...”

"Uncle, why don’t you leave?”

Nancy took the child away from his arms.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Wanda, I just returned and I'm not familiar with everything yet, so I had to ask Ray to accompany me to buy some things for the children.”

She quickly picked up everything on the ground and put it in my hands.

There is always such a gentle smile on his face, so gentle that people can't bear to blame him.

"Do you have a baby?”

After seeing what was in the bag, her perfect expression changed.

Raymond pushed her aside and walked towards me.

"Why didn't you tell me and let me accompany you?”

"Don’t you already have someone to accompany you?”

My words were very blunt and Nancy's face was full of embarrassment.

"If you don't like it, there will be no second time?”

He acted very determined.

Seeing that the situation was not going right, Nancy spoke hurriedly.

"You really misunderstood, Wanda, blame me if you want to. I'm sorry for making you uncomfortable.”

"If you quarrel because of me, I will feel very sorry?”

Her words sounded gentle, but she was actually playing the victim.

The child broke free from her arms and clung to Raymond's legs.

"Hug me...”

The babyish voice is irresistible.

Nancy did not pull the child away, as if waiting for Raymond to make a choice.

He completely skipped the child and took my hand.

"Is there anything else you want to buy? I'll go with you?”

She seemed to react at last and pulled the child over.

"Sunny, be obedient.”

Then he looked at us with tears in his eyes.

"You two can go and do your own thing. I can do it alone?”

But the next second, the child sat on the ground and burst into tears.

Raymond held my hand tightly.

"If you want to go, go ahead?”

I pulled my hand away without leaving a trace.

He pulled me and turned around, as if he had made a great decision.

"Let's go.”

Along the way, he was absent-minded.

Not long after he got home, his phone rang.

"I am from the company. There is a problem with the project. I have to go there now?”

He has time to spend with Nancy and her son, but when he stays with me, he has to work.

It was something that was so clear, but I spent so long deceiving myself.

Nancy will never give up easily on what she wants.

I heard that her abusive husband was found and the incident became known to everyone.

It is sad to see the goddess who was once so high and mighty now fall to this state.

Raymond came back later and later.

Just like he said, he won't hide anything from me or lie to me anymore.

He hired the best lawyer for Nancy and fought with her ex-husband for custody of the child.

"Just to repay her mother's kindness. "

From the moment he said this, I knew I would never be able to pay it back.

Favors are always the hardest to repay.

But Raymond was too frank and wanted too much to prove himself to me.

Whenever he is with Nancy, he will video call me.

So even though things are complicated, life can be considered peaceful.

Until Nancy came to the door crying.

The bruises of varying sizes on her body told of her tragic experience.

As soon as Raymond opened the door, she threw herself into his arms.

"Ray..."

Raymond clenched his fists and hugged her, not even hearing what I said.

He held her in his arms and sat on the bed in the second bedroom, coaxing her to sleep.

But as soon as he left, Nancy began to tremble with insecurity.

"Please, don't leave me, Ray, please, don't leave..."

Even I was moved, let alone Raymond.

The expression on his face was one of uncontrollable anger, but when he looked at her, it softened.

"Are you going to hold her like this forever? "

Nancy glanced at me cautiously, then shrank back into Raymond's arms in fear.

The man rubbed his forehead.

"Wanda, she's so poor like this, why are you still so aggressive? Can we talk about it tomorrow? "

I never expected that one day I would hear him say that I was being aggressive.

Nancy started crying again.

"Ray, please don't leave. I regret it. Please don't abandon me. "

Raymond coaxed her softly.

"Well, I won't leave. I'll stay here with you. "

I did not miss the pride in Nancy's eyes.

She did it on purpose.

Whatever sympathy I had left was gone.

"Raymond, do you still remember what you promised? "

He was stunned for a moment, but only for a moment.

"Wanda, you've changed. Let's talk about our affairs tomorrow. You should leave first. She feels insecure when she sees you."

I turned away, not wanting to cry in front of him.

All night till dawn.

Raymond lifted my quilt again, just like he did countless times when we quarreled before.

"Get out."

I didn't move at all, just uttered a word softly.

He knelt in front of me.

"I'm sorry, I just said that because I was afraid she would do something extreme."

I closed my eyes and didn't look at him.

"Let’s get a divorce. "

He hugged me tightly, and the smell of Nancy's perfume on his body was very pungent.

I couldn't get free.

"Raymond, do you know how disgusting you are? Let me go! "

He cried, and his tears dripped on my shoulders, still warm.
