Chapter 2

Yohan awkwardly cursed me for a while longer, but he was no match for Felix at all, so he quickly left.

Finally, I invited Felix to dinner.

"Joanna, I knew from the first time I saw you that you were a tender and kind girl. As long as I'm around, those bad men can't get close to you."

Felix stared at me affectionately. I had been complimented like that before, but it did make my heart flutter to be as passionate and blunt as Felix.

Later, we fell in love naturally. He asked me to marry him the year before, and I got pregnant earlier this year.

If Carolyn hadn't shown up, I would have thought I was married to my true love.

It was almost six o'clock when I got home.

I had just walked in the door when I heard Carolyn's cries.

"Felix, you should help me. There were so many people at the hospital, but she was cursing me...

"I worked so hard to raise you, and all I want to do in my old age is enjoy life, but... but she hasn't even come back to cook at this hour already.

"At this rate, how will she take care of you in the future?"

I was silent, and I had no idea what to say.

When we got married, I knew Carolyn didn't like me, so I desperately tried to learn how to cook delicious food in order to get closer to her. However, Carolyn purposely made trouble for me every time. Sometimes she said that fish had thorns, which Felix didn't eat, and sometimes she said that Felix would get diarrhea if he ate the rice I made.

I was so angry that I threw those dishes right into the trash can ruthlessly.

I was just married to him, but I wasn't here to be a nanny.

Seeing that I came in, Carolyn immediately fell silent and pretended to be pitiful. Felix had just gotten off work, and he was exhausted all over. Until he saw me enter, he asked indifferently, "Where have you been? Why are you so late?"

I truly didn't want to pay any attention to Felix right now, and I hoped he wouldn't mess with me, or I would go crazy.

But I didn't realize he was crazier than I was.

"I'm asking you!"

With that, Felix slammed the ashtray on the coffee table heavily at me.

I was shocked. Luckily, the door behind me was open, and I covered my stomach and took a few steps back before I was hit.

"Felix, are you crazy?"

Felix had hit me before, but it was just a couple's fight.

It was the first time he hit me since we got married. Besides, I was pregnant with our child.

I couldn't help but feel scared. If I hadn't just dodged him, he would have hit me, and I felt extremely horrified.

"Felix, calm down."

Carolyn was also taken aback. She nervously patted Felix's shoulder, but she was thrown off by him.

"Whose baby are you carrying anyway?"

It seemed that Carolyn had told Felix what I had said, but it was just something I told her to discourage her from aborting my baby. Since we got married, we had been together almost every day. When I got pregnant, I even took a long vacation in order to stay home and nourish my fetus. I rarely left the house normally, but Felix actually believed what Carolyn said.

I was dumbfounded, and I didn't want to argue with Felix. Even if I said more, someone who didn't believe me still wouldn't.

"Tell me, which asshole did you go out with behind my back?

"You came home so late today because you were dating him, right? I worked so hard outside, but you cheated on me..."

The more he talked, the more disgusting he got. He said a lot of dirty words, and no one had ever called me that since I was a kid.

I was shaking from anger, and I slapped heavily right across his face.

"Felix! Bitch, how dare you hit my son?"

Carolyn worriedly ran over to Felix, holding his face and looking at it closely, as if I had broken her darling son's face with a slap.

When she came back to her senses, she tried to pull my hair.

"I'm warning you, I recorded the video from the moment I walked in the door, so you can try to hit me. I want to see who's going to be famous online first."

I did record the video as soon as I walked in the door just in case there were any accidents, but I had no intention of exposing them on the internet as long as they didn't mess with me.

"Get out of here!"

"Get out? Why do I get out? I bought this house."

I took the phone and sneered.

When we first got together, Felix only got four thousand dollars a month while I got over ten thousand dollars a month as a capable veteran employee. I paid for everything when we dated, and even when I celebrated my birthday, he just bought cheap stuff for me, but he lied to me and said he had saved up his paycheck for a long time to buy it. If I hadn't seen that gift at a riverside stall when I was out for a walk the day before, I might have believed his nonsense.
