Love Is In Vain, Deep Affection Is Hard To Pay

On the day of the engagement party, my fiancée said she would arrive in two hours and then a news report about a newlywed wife and a strange man having sex in a car and suffering from hypoxia became a hot topic in the local search.

All the guests looked at the news and smiled without saying a word, casting strange eyes at me.

While waiting to see me laugh, my childhood sweetheart, Wilona, took out a ring to express her love to me on the spot, saying that she was willing to marry me and be the happiest wife.

I thought she was the greatest salvation in my life and I would be the unknown man behind her without asking for anything in return and build the business empire she dreamed of for her.

It was not until five years later, on the eve of a new product launch, that I heard her talking to her doctor bestie.

“You really think you can hide such a big thing as miscarriage from Garrick?”

Wilona touched her belly with a sad face. “I have to hide it even if I can’t. He didn’t know about my pregnancy from beginning to end. I wanted to have a child for Arnold, but he was too rude and the child was lost.”

“If Garrick knew that you added hormone drugs to his milk every day to cause infertility and you were pregnant with Arnold’s child, he would probably go crazy.”

Wilona smiled bitterly, “I can’t care about so many things. I just want Arnold to be happy. Everything is worth it. As for Garrick, it’s enough for me to spend the rest of my life with him.”

It turned out that my efforts over the years were just wishful thinking.

It turned out that the happy love I had always longed for was just a mirage.

In this case, I would give up.

——

“You are being so unfair to Garrick. He is so good to you. The success of your company today is largely due to his efforts behind the scenes. What kind of magic potion did Arnold give you? Why did you decide to do it? Is it worth it?”

Wilona struggled. “I don’t know if it’s worth it. As long as I see Arnold happy, I’m happy, even if I can only love him secretly. I know very well how good Garrick is to me. What I can do is to give him a large sum of money as compensation. If I can’t have children, at most I can adopt one in the future.”

Her best friend was helpless.

“It’s been five years. You’ve had five miscarriages for Arnold. If you continue like this, you will completely lose your fertility. End this bad relationship as soon as possible.”

Wilona pressed her temple with a look of disappointment.

“I know. When I give Arnold another child, I will be devoted to Garrick.”

My hand, which was suspended in the air and ready to knock on the door, trembled and retracted and the coffee in my hand spilled all over the floor.

Hearing footsteps coming from the room, I retreated to the kitchen in embarrassment.

Wilona had frequent miscarriages in the past five years and I always thought it was my fault.

I didn’t take good care of Wilona and didn’t keep our child.

For this, I blamed myself for five years and even cried secretly in the middle of the night, hating myself for being useless.

But it was not until now that I knew that she was pregnant five times, but it was not my child.

The five miscarriages were not because I didn’t take good care of her, but because Arnold didn’t take care of her body.

Those vows of love were just a beautiful dream she wove for me.

The funny thing was that I actually took it seriously.

My existence was just a cover for her to have an affair with Arnold, nothing more.

Hearing footsteps, I quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes.

“Hubby, why are you standing here in a daze? Where’s the coffee Chelsea ordered?”

Wilona frowned and stared at my back, looking a little suspicious.

I forced a smile.

“The coffee is ready, but I accidentally spilled it halfway, so I thought I’d make another cup. It’ll be ready soon.”
