Escaping From A Failed Marriage was My Successful Decision

I turned my attention to Ezra, a smile playing on my lips. “Ezra, do you know why I suddenly changed my mind about being child-free and decided to have a baby?”

Part 8

Ezra paused, a look of confusion washing over his face. “Why?”

It was evident that both he and Athena were genuinely intrigued.

After all, I had spent years firmly advocating for a child-free lifestyle, showing little interest even in the most adorable children.

Aurora, catching wind of my question, let out a dramatic laugh. “Ezra, don’t you see? She just can’t let you go.”

“You told her two days ago that you wanted a divorce and then she announced her pregnancy right after. Do you understand what that means?”

Ezra and Athena exchanged glances, their heads shaking in bewilderment.

Aurora feigned shock. “It means she’s realized you don’t love her and that your heart belongs to someone else. I’ve seen it countless times. When women discover their husbands have moved on, they’ll often try to trap the man by getting pregnant. If you hadn’t brought up divorce, she probably would’ve waited until it was too late to terminate before revealing it.”

Ezra’s expression shifted as clarity dawned on him.

He patted his chest in relief, exclaiming, “Thank goodness! Otherwise, I would’ve been trapped by this wicked woman. If I had ended up with a child I never wanted, my life would’ve been ruined. She’s truly malevolent. Thankfully, fate is still on my side.”

Watching the trio celebrate their escape was more than I could tolerate and I erupted into laughter.

Perhaps I laughed a little too heartily as their expressions turned uneasy.

Once I composed myself, I finally spoke. “Aurora is right. I did get pregnant because of Ezra, but it wasn’t to prevent him from divorcing me. It was so he could stay alive.”

Before they could react, I retrieved a copy of Ezra’s medical results from my bag and tossed it into his hands.

“Because you’re dying and the umbilical cord blood from my child was your only chance!”

“But now, you’re as good as dead.”
