The Best Anniversary Gift is A Divorce Agreement

Theo noticed that my mood had been low lately, so he brought his work home.

One day, Clara happened to come to deliver some documents to Theo. When she saw me, she politely greeted me, "Long time no see, Madam Alina."

Seeing Clara's hypocritical behavior made me nauseous, but I still put on a smile and asked, "Clara, you look like you’re pregnant. Oh, are you? But I remember you're not married yet, aren't you?"

"I’m actually married, Madam. My husband said that we'll have the wedding after the baby is born. It'll be a double celebration."

"Ah, I see. So you're pregnant before marriage. Alright, just be careful not to be deceived."

When Theo heard our talk downstairs, he came out of the study and called Clara impatiently.

"Madam, I'll go and give the documents to Mr. Zelinsky first."

That was the first time in my life to realized that Theo was a great actor. I had never noticed how deceitful he was in front of me before.

From the partially closed door of the study, I saw Theo pressing Clara under him.

"Be careful not to hurt the baby."

"I'll be careful. You better not make any noise. My wife is at home."

There was no hiding the desire in Theo's eyes and Clara initiated a kiss on his lips.

After the kiss, Clara, nestled in Theo's arms, cooed, "Your wife insulted me like that and you didn't say anything? If you can't even bear this, how can our child become rich and powerful in the future?"

Afraid that Clara would start a fuss, Theo distracted her with something else.

I couldn't stand it anymore, took out my phone, snapped a few pictures and left.

Back in the living room, I was retching into the trash can.

I determinedly booked an abortion on my phone. I didn't want my child to be born into a loveless family.

When Clara came out of the study, her clothes were wrinkled and she looked smug when she saw me.

"Madam, may I ask something?”

“Yes?”

“Why aren't you pregnant yet?"

I knew what she meant.

"I guess I'm just not that fortunate, Clara."

"Ah, I am sorry to hear that, Madam. But don’t be sad. These things can't be forced. My figure's gone after getting pregnant. I really envy that you haven't changed over the years."

At this time, Aunt Janette brought over another bitter medicine. Seeing my reluctance to drink it, Clara kindly persuaded me.

"Madam, good medicine is indeed bitter. Maybe once your health improves, you can also have a child."

Theo came out of the study at some point, took the medicine from Aunt Janette and looked at me sincerely.

"Let me feed you, Honey."

I knew I had to drink the medicine today. I took one gulp after another.

"It's getting late. I should go now, Mr. Zelinsky, Madam Alina."

"Honey, I'll see her out."

Before I could respond, Theo eagerly took Clara away.

I felt a sharp pain in my lower abdomen and blood stained the sofa.

"Aunt Janette! Call an ambulance quickly!"

Aunt Janette saw the blood under me and quickly dialed 120. She then tried to call Theo, but he hung up.

I saw the embarrassment in Aunt Janette's eyes and shook my head.

"No need to call him. I can handle it."

At the hospital, the doctor told me that the baby might not be saved. That's when I realized that the medicine Theo had been giving me every day was not for improving my health.

It was to prevent me from getting pregnant.

I cried my heart out in the hospital room. I never thought Theo could be so ruthless.

When Theo arrived at the hospital, he didn't even notice that his wedding ring was missing.

I guess the wedding ring must be with Clara.

"Theo, what kind of medicine did you give me?! Why did I have a miscarriage?!"

Theo quickly held me in his arms to comfort me.

"It's just a regular tonic. I don't know what went wrong. I'll find out what happened when I get home."

"Do I need an explanation? I lost my baby, what's the point of your explanation?!"

I slapped Theo hard.
