Chapter 76
Carlos ‘ mood was up all the way home . _ _ _ _ _ “ Now that you ‘re pregnant , you
should quit your job , honey . Just stay at home . I will work hard for you and the boy .”
“ I ca n’t ” , I replied .
“ Why not ? _ Are you worried that I ca n’t support you two ? ”
“ Of course not . I know you are a capable man . _ ” I gloried
him . “ But I signed a contract with my company . _ There ‘s a breach of contract clause when we sign it
, as they ‘re worried I might _jump ship or resign . _ _ If I don’t work until the end of the contract , I
have to pay a huge amount of money as compensation . ”
I mentioned the compensation just to see if he would
back off , but to my surprise , he did n’t care . “ Do n’t worry , I ‘m here . I
will resolve the claim issue for you . ”
He didn’t look like he was lying , so I
sighed softly . If I could choose again , I would n’t have chosen to marry someone without careful consi
deration , let alone a man like him . _ _ I was by your side in
the best years of my life. I gave him all my love , but what I got in return was coldness , lies and betraya
l . _ _
I was relieved I was n’t pregnant when I found out
about her cheating . In a way , I had dope to thank . If it were n’t for her , I could have
gotten pregnant . If that had happened , I would not have walked out of
this relationship . so easily .I would have tried to save this marriage for the
child , even if it meant I had to degrade myself . Now ? I was grateful to have my dignity and grateful to
still be myself . _ I’m going to make you pay for what you did to me , Carlos .
Carlos took me to the bedroom and asked me to sleep after arriving home . _ _ I was n’t in the
mood for it , but I went along with it .
He snuggled me gently . “ What do you want for dinner , honey ? _ I will cook ”. Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“ It ‘s okay , honey . Let Victoria do it , ” I replied .
“ Of
course . She ‘s a better cook than I am anyway . _ Tell me what you want , and I ‘ll send you out for so
me grocery shopping . _ _ _ ”
“ I do n’t feel like eating anything but sour stuff , ” I replied . As Joana was pregnant with a boy , I wante
d Carlos to think that I was too . _ Rumor had it that women pregnant with boys loved sour things ,while
girls loved spicy food . _ _ I chose the first one to fit your experience . That would make
it easier for him to take this the wrong way .
Sure enough , he smiled the moment I said it . _ _ ” I bet you ‘re pregnant with a boy , honey ” .
“ And how do you know that ? ”
“ The elderly in my city determine the sex of the child based on the mother ‘s diet . Most mothers- to –
be pregnant with boys loved sour food . ”
“ This is unscientific . _ You ca n’t trust that . ” I shook my head .
“ It’s not , but most of the time it ‘s accurate . Yeah , Joana prefers sour food since she got
pregnant too , and it is
boy . ”
Carlos even used Joana as an example to convince me , but without knowing it , he let crucial informati
on slip . If he and Joana were just normal friends , why would he care so much about her diet ? _ “ She
likes sour things _too ? Why did n’t I know this ? ” I asked .
