Chapter 119

I knew he wasn’t joking.

And I didn’t want him to come up and disturb Jane, so I compromised. “Okay.”

Before going downstairs, Jane and Jack’s actions were identical, wrapping me in an extended down jacket and pulling a hat over my head.

“Don’t think I’m exaggerating.” Jane poked my head. “It says online that it’s windy now, and it’s easy to get headaches in the future.”

“Alright, alright, you’re the best.”

She meant well for me. After agreeing repeatedly, I casually changed into another pair of shoes and went downstairs.

Seeing me coming out of the unit building, Ryan’s eyes darkened. “Why are you wearing. so much? Are you sick?

“You care about me?”

I found that I had lost the ability to talk to him properly.

If he really cared about me, even if he didn’t know I was pregnant, he should have asked yesterday how I was after being injured.

Regardless of the severity, I had been hit by a car.

Ryan frowned. “Why are you speaking in such a cryptic manner?”

Not wanting to get into it too much, I got back on track, “What did you call me down here for?”

In the middle of the night, I wasn’t interested in arguing with him about trivial matters.

He frowned. “Why didn’t you wait for me?”

I

met his gaze coldly. “Why should I wait for you?”

And I was glad I didn’t do something stupid like wait for him.

It had been five or six hours since I left the hospital.

He could still ask me so naturally why I didn’t wait for him.

It seemed that in his mind, I should always stand where he wanted and wait for him to turn around.

Ryan was ultimately not a good–tempered person and immediately sneered. “So eager to leave with him?”

The “him” he mentioned was, I realized after a moment, Jack.

I had to admit, he was quite good at turning the tables.

I took a deep breath of the cold night air and spoke indifferently, “Say what you want. I’m going upstairs.”

As soon as I spoke, I turned around and walked away.

“Charlotte.”

Behind me, he took two large steps and pulled me into his arms. “It’s my fault. Don’t be angry, okay?”

I was stunned to be held in his arms, feeling an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.

After a long while, I could only reluctantly lift my lips and say wearily, “What am I angry. about? Ryan, I’m not angry. Just utterly disappointed, that’s all. There’s nothing worth getting angry about.”

Before, I used to get angry because I hadn’t accepted his favoritism, hadn’t accepted that he didn’t really have me in his heart. So every time, I was deeply hurt and at a loss,

But not anymore. No matter what he did or chose now, I just felt it was within my

heart. expectations, and there was no ripple in my

Having said that, I tried to break free from his embrace, but he held onto my waist tightly. I heard his low, attractive voice. “I shouldn’t have been so harsh on you yesterday, and I shouldn’t have…”

“Shouldn’t have hit me?”

I smiled faintly, but my eyes were cold. “It’s okay, Ryan. Your slap was perfectly timed.”

It shattered all the affection between us.

It shattered all the fantasies I had about the young man in white in my memories.

He seemed to understand my indifference and suddenly panicked, holding me tighter, his voice tense. “You resent me, don’t you?”

“Yes,” I admitted without hesitation.

But my resentment had nothing to do with him hitting me or scolding me.

He didn’t understand. He said, “I’m sorry. She… she’s in poor health, and a miscarriage is a big blow to her. I was desperate.”

“Oh.” I nodded with a meaningful smile. “Did drag her into the street? Ryan, you saw it yourself. Finally, you’re questioning me?”

“So I’m apologizing to you.”

“If you apologize, am I supposed to accept it?” I found it ridiculous. “She miscarried because of her own actions!”

People’s hearts were indeed biased. He grabbed the back of my head, forcing me to look directly at him. His expression was stern, his eyes filled with terrifying hostility,” Yes, she made mistakes, but she has also paid a price, losing a child!”

“And what about me? Did I deserve to be hit by a car?” I didn’t back down, staring at him. without blinking!

“You were jumping around lively tonight, weren’t you?”

He sneered, his words full of mockery. “Still went to see the stars? You spent so long on the mountain with him, did you have sex?”

Slap!

The last words exploded in my mind like a bomb. I summoned strength from somewhere and suddenly pushed him away. This was the second time that I slapped him!

“Ryan! You make me sick!”

He groaned, his voice like frost. “And the two of you aren’t?”

I felt my chest swell with suppressed emotions, each word clear. “Enough! I said, let’s stop here! If you want to be with her in the future, that’s your business, and you have no say in mine!”

He stared at me, his attitude firm. “What if I insist on interfering?”

I wanted to ask him if he was feeling okay.

But in the end, I just stepped back, exhausted. “Ryan, for the sake of Grandpa, let’s not make it too embarrassing.”

As I was about to go upstairs, he grabbed my hand, his voice deep, “If you’re so insistent on divorcing, is it because of him or something else?”

“It has nothing to do with Jack.”

I really didn’t want to involve Jack, especially since the Frost and Renolds families were old acquaintances.

Seeing that I had no more to say, he stubbornly refused to let go, seemingly wanting a

definite answer.

I took a deep breath. “I made up my mind when you rushed towards her yesterday.”

It turned out that a person’s heart could become cold in just a moment.

When I married him, I thought I would never be stuck in the dilemma of “Will you save Mom or save me?”

But unexpectedly, the situation I faced was even more melodramatic than that question. “Will you save your true love or save me?”

And the latter, once things didn’t turn out as expected, was even more devastating than the former, leaving me unable to find words to comfort myself.

Moreover, because of his choice, I paid a heavy price.

He was silent for a moment, somewhat despondent but showing no regret. “There’s still a life in her belly. It’s not as simple as just falling.”

My body stiffened, and I turned my back to him, holding back the tears in my eyes.

“Ryan, I’m also pregnant.”
