Betrayal in Marriage: I Chose to Leave the Wrong Person

"I can relax here with my mom taking care of me," I said very calmly.

Scanning my face several times, he asked, "Are you angry?"

I didn't expect him to ask that and was stunned for a moment.

And immediately, the surprise turned into hilariousness.

I realized that maybe he wasn't caring about my emotions.

I looked up at him. He was still cool and distant with indifference.

I looked down at the baby in my arms and deliberately said, "Did you do something to make me angry?"

Gabriel sat on the edge of the bed, and a faint citrus scent wafted towards me.

Pressing my lips, I said, "She is a premature and weak baby who is sensitive about her surroundings. You just came back from work, so it's not appropriate for you to be too close to her."

He paused and looked gloomy.

Then, he stood up and said, "Then, I'll go back and take a bath."

Before I could reject, he strode out of my room.

It was funny that although we had been married for three years, he never stayed overnight at my house. He usually just ate a meal and left.

Maybe for him, coming to my house for dinner was like a forced social engagement, which demonstrated that he didn't love me at all.

It was my fault that I was blind and didn't realize it until now.

The stuffy room made the bitterness in my heart grow rapidly, and I felt a little breathless.

My baby seemed to notice my emotional breakdown and burst into tears.

I immediately cradled her to comfort her.

But unexpectedly, she cried even louder.

My eyes also turned red with tears. "Baby, don't cry."

But all my attempt to comfort her failed, so I also began to weep.

Sophia and Hazel heard us crying and went into my room.

"Oh my God, why are you crying?"

Sophia handed the baby to Hazel worriedly, and then came to comfort me.

I thought that I was so contentious that the more she appeased me, the more I felt like crying.

In the end, she shocked me to stop crying. Sophia glared at me fiercely. "If you cry again, I will ask Gabriel to bring you back right away."

When I heard this, my tears stopped immediately, but I still couldn't help choking.

As I calmed down, my baby also gradually became quiet.

"See, the baby is affected by your emotions. You have to learn to release your negative feelings. If you continue like this, you will easily suffer from postpartum depression."

Hazel reminded me with concern, and Sophia also realized the seriousness of my problem.

Thinking of what Gabriel said just now, I said to her, "Tell him not to come here anymore. We can't rest well if he comes."

She thought I was afraid that Gabriel would be tired from driving all his way here to visit us.

She complained to herself, "He is the father of your child. It is his duty to take care of you two."

I closed my eyes and said nothing.

Sophia listened to me and didn't let him come here any more.

Actually, Gabriel's plan really confused me. Why did he marry me in the first place if he couldn't forget Natalie?

Why did he give me hope and also bring me despair?

My mind was in a mess, and my heart was in turmoil.

The uneasiness made me get up and took out my cell phone from the bedside table.

I was bored and checked Instagram.

But unexpectedly, I saw Natalie's latest photo posted five minutes ago.

In the photo, there was only the back of a man washing his hands and cooking in the kitchen, enclosed with a sentence saying that "Having you is the greatest happiness in my life."

I recognized it was Gabriel at the first glance at this picture.
