Chapter 4

For me, who was an orphan, having a family was something I had always dreamed of.

Moreover, Mr. Howard had paid for my college education, so I felt that I would never regret coming to the Howard Family.

I even always calmed Shaun down every time he had a panic attack and every time he had a nightmare saying the name ‘Kathryn,’ I woke up and hugged him, telling him that everything was okay.

From that moment, he made a promise, "Carmen, I will never let you down in this life."

So, I thought it was such a gift. I also was no longer sad that I gave up my dream of becoming a psychologist.

Later, when I had Isaiah, Shaun took care of me like crazy and even wanted to bear the pain of pregnancy for me.

At that time, my heart, which had been silent for a long time, beat so vigorously for the first time and it was also the first time that I tasted the sweetness of love from others.

It was not until Kathryn returned to the country that Shaun's eyes changed when he looked at me.

He believed that it was me who made Kathryn break up with him and had to go abroad to leave him.

So, I became the villain who took advantage of the situation, claimed credit and coveted wealth and fame.

Every time Shaun got drunk, he would have pushed me down on the bed, stripped off my clothes and cursed, “Is it this body who seduces me easily? How dare you make Kathryn heartbroken and dare not come back to my side just because you are married to me, huh?

“Your status is indeed Mrs. Howard, but you need to know, you can get that status because you are married to me. If we divorce, you are nothing.

“Mrs. Howard will only be suitable for Kathryn forever, you are just a person who likes to steal other people's things. You are the cheapest thing in the world. If Kathryn suffers, you must bear it a hundred times more!”

As soon as Shaun left, the butler beside him pushed open the door.

He held a barbed iron rod in his hand and looked at me with contempt, “Mrs. Howard, Miss Wilkerson and Mr. Howard are fishing in the garden while enjoying the rain. But Miss Wilkerson's feet are swollen and uncomfortable during pregnancy. 

“Mr. Howard said that you have experience in giving birth, so he asked you to show up within ten seconds and massage Miss Wilkerson's feet.”

I frowned and looked out the window. I did not know when it started to drizzle.

After giving birth and breastfeeding Shaun, I had lost a lot of calcium in my body, so I had difficulty running. 

If the weather is cold, all my bones would hurt so much, so I always locked myself up when it rained outside. 

But that time, Shaun just told me to go to his place quickly?

The butler smiled and waved the whip in his hand as he ordered, “Mr. Howard said that if Mrs. Howard is even a second slower, I will give you a beating. You better hold on tight."

By the time I limped to the pond in the back garden, my back was covered in blood and a long trail of blood was winding behind me.

Shaun hugged Kathryn and lay on the chaise lounge. A huge umbrella covered them. Afraid that Kathryn would be cold, he even asked someone to turn on the heater.

Seeing me soaking wet and covered in blood, he paused for a moment, then said in disgust, “You really did everything you could to act. The person who suffers here is obviously Kathryn. Why are you pretending to be pitiful?

“Don't just stand there, kneel down and give Kathryn a massage!”

I knelt down despite the pain in my knees and back. As soon as my hands touched Kathryn's feet, she exclaimed, “It's so cold! Mrs. Howard, even if you don't want to give me a massage, there's no need to hurt me on purpose, right? Pregnant women are very afraid of catching a cold."

Shaun was so anxious that he kicked me in the chest and I fell into the mud.

“Carmen, you have given birth to a child, don't you know that pregnant women should not catch a cold? You claim to be Mrs. Howard and even make my grandpa adore you, but you have no compassion at all? You are simply a vicious woman with a snake heart, aren’t you?!”

Shaun picked up his Princess Kathryn and left in a hurry without even looking at me.
