The Best Anniversary Gift is A Divorce Agreement

After discovering I was pregnant, I decided to handle my own obstetric examination. However, I unexpectedly stumbled upon Theo Zelinsky and his young secretary, Clara Madden, in the obstetrics and gynecology department, caught in the midst of their own ‘appointment’.

At that moment, I still didn't understand anything. I just remembered what Theo told me, "We better not have a baby, Alina. You’re not in a good health."

But then I realized that it’s not Theo didn't want children, but he just didn't want to have children with me.

I followed behind them and heard Theo say happily to his beloved secretary, "When our baby is born, I will raise him to be the heir of the Zelinsky Group. My heir can only be your child."

Looking at the pregnancy test report in my hand, I pressed the long-lost phone number with a trembling hand.

"Uncle, I want to go home."

The man on the other side of the phone heard my voice, was stunned for a moment and then said, "After seven days, I will take you home myself."

Being with Theo for over seven years, he said he's always wanted a child. But unfortuntely, due to my physical condition, I've never been able to conceive.

Lately, I've been feeling nauseous and lethargic.

Afraid that my illness would affect our plans to conceive, I decided to get a check-up.

When I came out of the gastroenterology department, I was completely bewildered as the doctor's words echoing in my mind, "According to your indicators, you should be pregnant. I suggest you visit the obstetrics and gynecology department."

I did what the doctor suggested. There, as I was about to register at the Obstetrics and Gynecology department, I saw Theo embracing a woman at the entrance.

The woman, Clara Madden, was leaning into Theo like a little bird.

"Theo, do you think I'm carrying a boy or a girl?"

Clara placed Theo's hand on her stomach and Theo couldn't contain his smile.

"Whether it's a boy or a girl, your child will be the heir of my Zelinsky Family."

"You serious? But don't you want to have a child with your haggard wife?"

"That woman? Huh, she's just a scapegoat for me to get through hard times. Having children should be about true love."

When I heard Theo call me a scapegoat, my heart ached as if being squeezed by something.

So in Theo's eyes, I was not worthy of bearing his child and he even let his assistant defame me.

The love that Theo always talked about turned out to be an act.

I hid in a corner, watching them leave the hospital before I went for the check-up.

While waiting for the results, I was so nervous that the examination paper in my hand was all crumpled.

I was afraid. What if I really was pregnant? What would happen to my child?

Yeah, finally the results on the examination report were exactly what I didn't want to see.

I came home with the report on my hand, but it turned out Theo wasn't back yet.

"My dear, I don't know whether you should come into this world or not. Your father doesn't seem to be looking forward to your arrival."

I gently touched my lower abdomen, trying to feel the tiny embryo.

"Honey, I'm home."

Theo finally returned. He had a strong perfume smell on him. I wrinkled my nose and avoided his embrace.

"Honey, what's wrong with you today? Are you not happy seeing me back?"

"Your perfume is too strong, making me uncomfortable."

A hint of guilt flashed across Theo's eyes. I pretended not to see it and asked tentatively, "Theo, would you be happy if I had a child?"

"Oh, come on, Honey. Your health isn't good. I am okay if we don’t have a child.”

Theo was earnest, holding me tightly in his arms. If I hadn't caught him and Clara today, I would have thought he was genuinely concerned about my health.

My heart felt like it had fallen into an ice cellar. Why did I want an answer?

Theo sensed my low mood and hurriedly comforted me, saying, "Alright, if you really like children, let's adopt one."

Adopt? Did he mean he want me to raise Clara's child?

Yeah, people can do anything for true love.

Perhaps Theo forgot, it was him who had been looking forward to a child all these years, not me.

At that moment, Aunt Janette brought over the medicine I should take every day. The bitter smell of it made me want to vomit.

I knocked over the medicine and rushed into the bathroom to throw up.

Theo pretended to shake his head at Aunt Janette, signaling her to clean up the mess.

I didn't notice the flicker of ferocity in Theo's eyes.

"Honey, why don't we go to the hospital and get you checked out?"

Looking at Theo pretending to be considerate, I shook my head, poured myself a glass of warm water and slowly recovered.

"No need, I just don't want to take that medicine."

Now I sarted to doubt whether the medicine that Theo made me take every day was really for nourishment.
