Regret Getting Pregnant For Lying Billionaire

"Mom, what are you saying?" I asked her almost out loud because I couldn’t believe what I heard. I rolled my eyes. "You're just going to forgive him after all these years that he's cheating on you? That he's cheating on us all? What do we know that they might have had a child with the woman he was with?"

Mom turned to me and held my arm. "Sera, watch your words!"

I pulled my arm back. "You're being so unreasonable! Don't forgive him just like that! We don't even know the whole story yet! Look at these pictures!" I said and showed her the pictures that were inside the box but she just seemed tired and just smiled at me.

"Calm down. I want to know more of the pictures. I want to hear your Dad's side about this. He said that… that happened a long time ago ---"

"And you believed that?" I asked eagerly and faked a laugh. "Mom! Get hold of yourself! Why would you even believe the person who kept us secret for so long ---"

I stopped speaking when I felt a loud slap on my left cheek. I let go of the box, causing the pictures to be thrown from inside as well and that was scattered on the ground. Was I too much? But I have the right to get angry and say that!

"Sera, please understand the situation first. Don't talk like that to your Dad!" I saw that there were tears streaming down her cheeks which made me even more annoyed.

"What's going on?"

Patry arrived and there was a trace of shock on his face because of what he had found out. His eyes went to the pictures scattered on the floor.

"Patry, Dad cheated on Mom. He's been cheating on us for a long time. Look at those pictures!" I told him and I saw that he took the pictures on the floor. "And after all, Mom wanted to forgive him even though he kept it a secret for a long time. This is so insane! I can't believe that despite everything, he even managed to fool around!"

I heard of Mom's story. I know how many times she also had a hard time pursuing Dad back then. I was also very mad because she accepted all that. She endured until Dad accepted her. Then after marriage, will she just be fooled? And after that, Mom will just forgive Dad so easily?

Patry approached me. "Sera, calm down. That happened a long time ago. Dad didn’t see that woman again ---"

"What do you mean?" I asked and looked at him, being confused. "You knew about this?"

I laughed out loud because of another thing I found out. "So you really looked for an ally, Dad? Patry knew about your infidelity all along?" I asked and I could see that Patry just averted his eyes.

I'm done with this family.

I immediately walked back to the living room. It's like I'm storming out and Kira noticed that right away when she saw me. She’s carrying their baby. Actually, I still wanted to talk to her about things … but I really lost my appetite.

I grabbed my bag and looked at Lip, "Let's go home." I said and he immediately stood up.

Fortunately, Lip didn't ask any more questions because he just followed me.

"Sera, what happened?" I heard Kira's question that I just ignored and Lip and I went straight out.

"Sera! Sera, please!" Mom even blocked me and held my arm but I just resisted. "I'm sorry, Sera. Please let's all talk before you leave!"

"I'm disgusted and I can't talk to you anymore. Leave me alone." I said and walked immediately out of the gate with Lip.

When we got in the car, I immediately drove it away without looking back. My heart was throbbing, mixing anger and whatever other emotions in my heart. I wanted to get lost and I just poured that into the tightness of my hold on the steering wheel.

"Mom, you're crying." I was shocked when I heard what Lip said.

I immediately wiped away the tears that I didn't expect to be on my cheeks. I'm heartbroken, what can I do? I’m hurting for my Mom but she doesn’t understand that. I love her so much that it pains me to know that she had been cheated on. "Lip, adults can cry too. I can be weak too and sorry for that." my voice almost broke while saying that.

I heard him sigh like an old man. "I wanted to hug you but you're driving. Please focus on driving first, Mom. Think of the happy things."

Because he said that, I learned to calm myself. No one spoke to us the whole trip and just felt the silence. I feel like a child is not with me. It feels like I was being comforted by a man my age. We got home and I parked it neatly. I immediately removed my seatbelt and wiped the tears from my cheeks with my handkerchief.

And there, I was stunned again when Lip hugged me.

"You're strong, Mom."

That simple word made me feel better. I never cried again and we entered the house straightly, then changed our clothes.

We rested in our room and I waited for him to sleep first. I was looking at him, being so grateful that it was a good thing that a child like him came into my life. I was so exhausted all the time but the encouraging words he said motivated me to continue. I thought now that I didn’t even wish my Dad a ‘Happy Birthday’ because of my anger. But still, I still can’t accept what he did to us, especially to Mom.

She was so forgiving and she accepted everything even in return, was her exhaustion of self -love. Are mothers really like that? Do they always sacrifice just to make others happy? What about herself? That's why people around her abused and used her kindness, that's because she always lets that happen. Why is she letting Dad be like that and forgive him right away?

I can't do what she's doing. I won't forgive Dad as easily as she did. I will never talk to him again. We were betrayed and that will be sealed to us forever.
