"Dear, please believe me, I really don't want that child. It's all because of my mother. She insists that we must keep the baby; she's getting older and just wants to hold her grandchild. She says I'm her only son and hopes everything rests on me. I have no choice; I really have no choice..." Wang Xu cried, feeling wronged, not knowing when it would stop, as if the tears had been stored up for too long and finally burst forth.
I touched his face with my fingertips; his cheeks were hot and damp. My heart ached painfully at Wang Xu's cries.
In the end, it was all because of the child. But if he truly thought I couldn't give birth, he could easily ask for a divorce. What does this even mean? Perhaps Wang Xu would agree, and his mother would really let him divorce me.
A daughter-in-law can be found again, but a grandchild is already here.
I loved Wang Xu so much that I treated his mother like my own, but if she truly treated me as Wang Xu said, then I had nothing more to say; no matter what I did, it would be wrong.
As dawn broke, Wang Xu and I had spent the entire night like this. Staying in the same position for too long made my back ache. I pushed Wang Xu gently; he jolted awake, looking at me with a hint of hope in his eyes, hoarsely calling out, "Dear."
Dear? Shouldn't a couple be devoted to each other, treating one another with loyalty and respect, growing old together? Why did Wang Xu still have the face to call me that?
"Move aside; I'm going to work." I wasn't much better off than Wang Xu. As soon as I spoke, my throat felt swollen and painful, and my eyes were so tired from crying that they could barely open. This disheveled appearance was embarrassing to think about.
But no matter how decadent my life with Wang Xu was, at least he supported me in working, which meant I still had an excuse to escape.
"Dear, please don't go." Wang Xu suddenly leaned in to kiss me, grabbing both of my wrists and pushing me down.
I instinctively leaned back but desperately shook my head to prevent him from succeeding, speaking harshly: "Wang Xu, get off!"
"No, dear, you can't leave. Listen to me; I'm being wronged. I'm innocent. Please give me one more chance," Wang Xu repeated like he was under a spell.
I have little patience and quietly asked, "Alright, if I give you a chance, what will you do?"
Wang Xu's movements suddenly stopped, his eyes filled with confusion and helplessness.
Indeed, he had not truly thought of a solution; he only sought my forgiveness. But how could I forgive him? What has happened has already happened. If I were to pretend not to know, what would happen to my future? How should I treat it?
Taking advantage of Wang Xu's moment of distraction, I pushed him away, stood up, and adjusted my clothes to avoid looking too disheveled. I no longer had the time to change; I just wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Child, the house—handle it yourself. I'm going home for the next few days. Don't come looking for me, and don't disgust my parents. At least they still think you're a husband they can trust for life. Don't let them down too much."
I grabbed my bag and quickly walked out. As I entered the elevator and saw the number "4" descending on the display, I couldn't hold back any longer, and tears streamed down my face.
Having lived for nearly twenty-six years, this day truly made me feel like I had had enough of life.
