Chapter 1544
Comelia smirked mischievously, âItâs a secret!â
Something else occurred to Hannah and the light in her eyes faded, âHe had a vasectomy.â
Comelia questioned, âYou saw him do it?â
Hannah shook her head, âAll these years, Iâve never taken birth control and he never uses condoms. But Iâve never gotten pregnant.â
Comelia argued, âSometimes what you see isnât always the truth, let alone what you donât see. If you want to know if he really had a vasectomy, you could give it a
try.â
Hannah replied, âHow?â
Comelia said, âLet me tell you slowly. You have to remember.âe2
The two women chatted happily, completely oblivious to Jeremy who had finished his shower and had been out for a while. He heard every word Cornelia said to Hannah, and kept it in mind.
Get rid of the father and keep the child? Was this his literal understanding? If so, where did Cornelia, this mischievous girl, learn all this absurd nonsense? It seemed he could no longer spoil her without principles, who knew what shocking things this girl could do.
Meanwhile, Stevenâs battered van stopped outside Hannahâs village again. The countryside not only had great air, but also a view of the starry sky. The starry sky was especially beautiful tonight, and he was mesmerized.
The sudden ring of his cell phone in the silent night gave him a start. He looked down to see Marc displayed on the phone on the passenger seat, and answered,
âMarc, whatâs up?â
Jeremyâs pleasant voice came from the phone, âMy wife is video chatting with your ex-wife. Theyâve been talking for almost an hour and theyâre still going.â
The resentment was almost seeping out of the phone screen, Steven found it amusing, âAh, Marc, so you also get ignored by your wife. I thought you two were so in love, this kind of thing would never happen.â
Jeremy scoffed, âI am indeed being ignored by my wife, so I wanted to chat with someone whoâs in the same boat, and you were the first one I thought of.â
In this round, Steven lost. And he lost completely.
He said, âMarc, to have a friend like you is my fortune!â
Jeremy asked, âAre you in Haines?â
Steven tried to deny it, âIâm in Harbor City.ââ
Jeremy said, âHmmâ¦â
Just a light scoff made Stevenâs scalp tingle, âAlright, I confess, I am indeed in Haines, outside my ex-wifeâs house. But I canât get in.â
Jeremy suddenly asked, âDo you know what âGet rid of the father and keep the child means?â
Steven asked, âWhat does that mean?â
The words had already been spoken when Steven realized what it meant. He roared with excitement, âMarc, your wife was talking about this with my ex-wife? I
your wife had a lot on her mind, and she must have something to do with my failure to win back my ex-wife.â
