Author: Year on Year
Felix grunted. "By the way, I've found you a house. It’s in a great neighborhood, with a private 430-square-foot yard. Fully renovated and move-in ready. Wanna check it out tomorrow?"

"Okay."

"Then get some rest early. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

"Okay."

After hanging up, I went to the balcony.

The next day, Felix came to pick me up to view the house.

The house was in an old neighborhood, but the neighborhood had a nice environment and good landscaping. There was plenty of space between th

  • Her Baby Was Not Mine   Chapter 13

    "Perhaps it's because I now truly understand how important money is. Before, I didn't have a sense of urgency because Christine was there to support me. Now that it's just me, I have to be responsible for myself." I sat next to Felix and spoke seriously.Felix looked at me with complex emotions in his eyes. "Jared, you've become so mature.""It might be because of pressure." I chuckled. "People grow up. Some people become adults at 18, while others don't grow up until 30. I guess I'm the latter.""But at least you've grown up." Felix patted my shoulder. "Much better than those who will never grow up."On the first night of moving into the new house, I had trouble sleeping.The big house I used to live in was quiet too, but it was a kind of empty, nerve-racking quiet. This small house's silence was reassuring and comfortable. It felt like being wrapped in something, very safe.I lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Hence, I got up and walked to the yard.The nigh

    Felix grunted. "By the way, I've found you a house. It’s in a great neighborhood, with a private 430-square-foot yard. Fully renovated and move-in ready. Wanna check it out tomorrow?""Okay.""Then get some rest early. I'll pick you up tomorrow.""Okay."After hanging up, I went to the balcony.The next day, Felix came to pick me up to view the house.The house was in an old neighborhood, but the neighborhood had a nice environment and good landscaping. There was plenty of space between the buildings too. It was a first-floor two-bedroom with a living room, about 900 square feet. It was not huge, but cozy.The most important thing was that there was a 430-square-foot yard. The yard was paved with anti-corrosion wood flooring, with an osmanthus tree planted in the corner, and there was also a small flower bed beside it, with some flowers that I could not name."This is the one," I said.Felix and the real estate agent looked at me at the same time."You don't wanna take a look

    "No," I refused flatly. "That apartment is mine now. She agreed to give it to me. According to the law, no one can take them."There was a long silence on the other end of the line."Jared, how could you be so heartless?" Jenny's tone changed, becoming icy. "You were married to Christine, and now, you're just gonna watch her end up on the streets?"What I said was the truth. "It was her own decision to give up everything. I never asked her to. Besides, doesn't she still have Scott? Isn't Scott going to be a father? She can go live with Scott."Jenny suddenly cursed. "Scott? That kept man! Now that he knows Christine has no money, his attitude has changed. The other day when I went to see Christine, I happened to run into him. The way he talked to me was as if I owed him a fortune. He also said that he might not really want this baby, and he would have to wait and see how Christine behaves."She became more and more agitated. "What does he mean by 'seeing how she behaves'? The baby

    I was finally enraged by that sentence. The anger that had been pent up inside me finally burst.I took a step forward and stared into her eyes. "You wanted to be a mother, so you got knocked up by another man. Did you ever remember that you were my wife when you slept with him? When you were sleeping with him, did you ever think that I was waiting for you to come home and give you a surprise? "When you spent the night with him, did you ever think that I was staying awake just to wait for you to come home?"My voice began to tremble, not because of sadness but anger. "I'm telling you, Christine, you don't deserve to be anyone's wife because you're irresponsible. You're just a selfish, weak, and irresponsible woman."Christine was speechless as I spoke. Her eyes were red as her lips trembled. She looked like a fish that had been thrown onto the shore."I... I didn't mean it..." She forced out these words with difficulty."I know you didn't mean it." I looked into her eyes. "You j

    Felix made me laugh."What are you laughing at? I'm serious!" Felix shot me a glare without pausing what he was doing. "I'm telling you, Jared, women like her need to be taught a lesson. The better you treat her, the less she takes you seriously. You should make sure she leaves with nothing and teach her what it means to lose everything while gaining nothing!"I laughed, but then my eyes became sore.Felix saw my red eyes and stopped what he was doing. He came over and hugged me.We spent over an hour clearing Christine's things."What's next?" Felix dusted off his hands and asked me."Put these things in garbage bags and throw them into the trash can downstairs.""Throwing them in the trash is too easy on her." Felix shook his head. "I have a better idea.""What idea?""Pack up these things first. I'll make a phone call."Felix mysteriously walked to the balcony with his phone and talked for a few minutes. When he came back, he had a bright smile. "It's done.""What's been

    I said calmly, "A woman with nothing but a child."The laughter on the other end of the line stopped abruptly."Wait." Felix's voice turned serious. "You mean that boy toy doesn't know Christine agreed to leave the marriage with nothing?""No.""So he thinks he'll soon be living in a big house, driving a nice car, and acting like a boss?""Yeah.""Gosh." Felix took a deep breath. "Jared, you're so cruel.""I didn't make her do anything." I leaned against the headboard, my voice soft. "It was all her own choice.""So you're planning to watch her destroy herself?""I don't have time for her." I paused. "I just don't want anything to do with them anymore."There was a long silence on the other end of the line."Are you all right?" Felix's tone softened."I'm fine. Really," I answered."You're bluffing. I'm coming right now. I'm skipping work today. Wait at home. I'll be there in 20 minutes."The call ended.I looked at my phone screen; it was Felix's chat interface.I had
