There was a problem in their marriage, that they couldnât trust each other completely. They were like two hedgehogs in winter where they hadnât found the right distance between each other. They would get hurt if they got too close, but they would feel cold if they got too far away from each other! She couldnât find the right solution, so she had to stay away from him.
When she finally said the word of divorce, she instead had a feeling that everything was settled, and she could sleep better at night. She wouldn't be greedy anymore and stop having more expectations!
He wanted all her love. However, he was domineering. He suspected that every man she interacted with was having an affair with her. For her, she didn't like his deception, not even a hint of it.
âYouâre still loving him. Why you need to make trouble for yourself?â Ernie said casually but his words had a deep meaning.
Sylvie was shocked. She suppressed the bitterness in her heart, âMaybe Iâm really getting myself into trouble! But some things are beyond my control.
If we canât continue to put in the efforts, Iâll rather clarify the matters and set us free.â
âMaybe the more youâre trying to be free, the messier your mind will be!â
âAt least I feel calm now. A calmer mind is good for our babyâs health! Thinking about it and I think itâs great!â
âYou love him so much, but he doesnât understand you! Is he worthy of your love?â He felt a bit jealous.
Sylvie smiled. "Ernie, whether itâs worth it or not is a matter between me and Marley. I love him, and that will never change. No matter what problems I have with him, it wonât change the fact that I love him. Love canât be measured. Love is love. He may be bad, just like me, I also have a lot of problems. I can blame him, but I canât allow others to badmouth him. So, if you think we're still friends, don't say a word against him!"
Ernie was stunned for a while. Then he shook his head and smiled bitterly, âWomen are weird!â
âMaybe! The food is here, letâs eat!â
When the dishes she ordered were on the table, she stopped talking and started to eat. During that time, Sylvie got her morning sickness once. Ernie gave her a glass of water for her to rinse her mouth.
âDo you have your maternity test?â He asked.
âItâs on tomorrow!â She smiled quietly.
âOk!â Ernie stopped talking. After the meal, Ernie sent her back. When they reached the entrance of the district, Sylvie insisted him from continuing sending her back to her home.
âErnie, Iâm sorry!â She slightly bowed.
Ernie was stunned and he immediately got back to his sense. He understood that it was because of Evieâs affairs.
âSylvie, you donât have to mind it. That incident has nothing to do with you. It was her choice!â Ernie looked at Sylvie. He said deeply and seriously, âSylvie, men sometimes need tolerance! Although Miriam loves Aiden very much, she was always domineering. Her temper had slowly changed after she was in her forties. I think Aiden would stay with my mom all these years because he was captivated by my delicate mom. Youâre right, women should respect and love themselves to get the menâs love! Itâs right to not include a hint of hesitation in a relationship! So, Iâm not the right person for you. This is because I wonât be exclusive. Iâm not sure about Marley. But I do know he wonât cheat in his marriage or his relationship. Itâs hard to find a good man, and I urge you to appreciate him! Consider everything Iâve said and stop tossing and turning. I really want you to be happy!â
âIâm very happy now!â Sylvie smiled. She knew that Ernie had moved on. He wonât disturb her again, and she could live in peace.
âBecause thereâs no more disturbance from me, right?â He raised his eyebrow and said jokingly.
âHeh-heh, yes!â Sylvie admitted honestly.
They looked at each other and smiled, liked friends who had known each other for years.
âIâll help you out by telling you a secret!â Ernie smiled and said seriously.
âWhat?â
âJemima had never been pregnant. Marley approached her last time because she had kept on disturbing him. He showed his findings in front of Jemima and didnât allow her to continue to disturb him. I think he didnât tell you the truth because he thought it was the last time they would see each other, and he didnât want you who were pregnant to misunderstand him. Besides, Iâve slept with Jemima, and sheâs not a determined woman! Sylvie, you are faithful, and youâve won my respect. No matter what, Marley will never let go of you. If you donât believe, letâs make a bet!â
This news made Sylvie stunned for a moment. She was a little puzzled, âA bet?â
âI bet he loves you, and heâll figure out the problem between you and him!â
Sylvie was still in a trance when she got home. She never thought that Jemima and Ernie had ever had a relationship, and Jemima had never been pregnant. She also didnât expect that Ernie would tell her about these. But she was sure that Ernie really wanted her to be happy!
The next day was the day of the maternity test, Sylvie went to the hospital for an ultrasound.
Just after the ultrasound, she was forced to go into the gynecological operational room.
âWhat are you guys doing?â Sylvie shouted in a panic.
âOur boss asked you to wait patiently for a while. Weâll let you out in a moment. Relax, weâre just helping you!â
âWhoâs your boss?â Sylvie panicked.
âUgh! Our boss is your friend!â
âErnie?â Sylvie asked doubtfully.
âYes!â
âWhat is he trying to do?â Sylvie breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that the person was Ernie.
Meanwhile, the phone rang. Sylvie took out her phone and saw it was Ernieâs number. âErnie, what do you want to do?â
âMake a bet!â Ernie laughed. âListen to me, heâll show you his heart!â
âErnie, this is my business!â
âBut itâs my business too, Sylvie. If youâre happy, Iâll feel relieved! After all, something happened because of me!â Ernie said in a deep voice on the other side of the phone, his tone unprecedentedly serious. "I know I'm nosy, but I've always been nosy. If you don't cooperate with me, then marry me. Take your pick. It's better to be with Marley than to marry me, isnât it?"
"You--" Sylvie exasperated. "I'll cooperate with you, but what exactly do you want to do?"
"Listen to me, Marley is coming to you right now! And then..."
Marley was speeding down the road at the moment. He had run three red lights in succession. He was rushing in the direction of the hospital. He gripped the steering wheel tightly.
Just ten minutes ago, he received a call from Ernie, saying that Sylvie was in the hospital having an abortion. He didn't even get to ask about it and rushed down immediately. He drove as fast as he could.
Fifteen minutes later.
Marley rushed into the hospital. He didnât have time to park the car in the parking lot. He stopped his car directly in front of the outpatient building. He ignored the yelling of the security guards behind him and rushed into the gynecological surgery area.
With every step he took, he could feel cold sweat dripping down his face. He began to feel a constant tension headache.
She was going to abort their child. How could she be so cruel as to abort their child?
Marley couldn't believe it. He felt his hands and feet were cold. He seemed to get back to his sense in a flash. What had he done all this time?
He had intentionally snubbed her. Heâd minded that hug she had with Ernie. He was mad with jealousy. He was so domineering that he wanted her to belong entirely to him. So, he deliberately distanced himself from her.
The door of the operating room was opened, and Sylvie was pushed out. She stumbled and almost slipped. She subconsciously shielded her belly with her hand. That was so close! If she had slipped, her baby would be in danger. Her face immediately turned pale!
Marley almost went crazy when he saw her pale face coming out of the operating room!
She had done it!
Why was her face so pale?
He rushed over as if everything seemed to be pressed to a breaking point. He trembled! He stepped forward and he grabbed her shoulders very hard.
"Why did you abort my child?" He stared at her, who had just come out of the operating room.
She was stunned. Then she thought of Ernie's words and tried to put on a miserable smile, "Thatâs because how can a proud person like you allow your child to take my surname? It was my grandfather who had wronged you, and I apologize on his behalf! From now on, we no longer have any relationship, youâre now free! Marley, it's time for our marriage to end! I won't let you intentionally snubbed me anymore. And I won't give you a chance to domineeringly keep me from doing this or that!"
As soon as Sylvie spoke, the corridor seemed to become empty and quiet, as if all sounds had disappeared. The space was too quiet and carried with a heavy atmosphere.
Marley didnât even move his hands that were holding her shoulder. He didnât seem to hear Sylvie's words, and his breathing was steady. In fact, he had fallen into another world at the moment. He felt a roar in his ears, and his body seemed to be plummeting.
He tried to calm himself down, trying to think that she had just undergone surgery and he couldnât be angry. What else could he do when things had come to this?
When he just thought that their baby was gone, he felt pain all over his body. Even the light around him was so bright, and it made his eyes hurt. He reached out and hugged Sylvie. He buried his face in her shoulder and hugged her tightly, "Sylvie, I'm in pain! It hurts too much! Don't you feel pain?
A Moment in Destiny ï¤Chapter 820 Threatening With the Child The convenient Bride ï¤Chapter 414: There Is Nothing Happier Than This (Ending)
Predestined Marriage ï¤Chapter 1718: The End Thatâs our baby! I was wrong, but how can you bear to punish me as such! Do you know how much I longed for our baby to come?"
There was a tiny whimper in his tone, and Sylvie felt bitterness in her heart all of a sudden.
"Sylvie, Iâm not getting a divorce. Let's go home and you need to get well. I'm so sorry! I didn't take good care of you!" He tried not to cry, but he still choked up!
Sylvie even felt a warm liquid rolled down onto her shoulder and slowly seeped into her clothes. It was so hot. His words gave a strong impact which caused her stunned for a moment.
"Sylvie, I'll never leave you alone and intentionally alienate you again! I wonât be jealous again! Let's go home, okay?" He sobbed. He didnât want the vulnerability on his face to be seen. But Sylvie heard the vulnerability in his voice anyway.
The vulnerability he leaked had made her heart wrenched instantly.
She reached out and slowly wrapped her hand around his waist. His body stiffened, seemingly in a bit of disbelief.
"Sylvie, does it hurt?" He held her tightly and his deep voice ringing in her ears. The heat when he spoke had warmed her ears.
Her tears rolled down her face in an instant. It was bitter, warm, and also touching! It seemed that everything had relieved at this moment! Just because after she told him she had aborted their child, he was still trying to restrain his anger and still cared if she was in pain, she then felt relieved!
