I Got a Vasectomy, She Got Knocked Up

I opened my mouth, unsure what to say next.

James Litt got out of his car and patted my shoulder like he always did. "Sorry, Seth, I was drunk that day and thought your wife was my girlfriend. Since we're friends, what's mine will be yours. Once the baby is born, you can be the godfath—"

Without waiting for him to finish, I swung a punch at him.

The next second, my wife, Anne Baker, raised her handbag and hit me hard on the forehead. "Seth Reed, how could you hit him? James only told you everything because he still sees you as a friend!"

She strode over and helped James up from the ground, concern in her eyes.

I watched her, feeling a pang in my heart. With bloodshot eyes, I roared, "Even an idiot knows that a friend's wife is off-limits! And you dare say he did nothing wrong?"

Anne looked unconcerned. "I already told you it happened because we were drunk. Are you incapable of understanding what I said? But I got to be honest with you—James is way better in bed than you are. You should learn from him."

James wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice full of hesitation. "Seth, if you're still upset, you can punch me a few more times. I promise I won't hit you back. I just hope you won't be angry with Anne. If you're still worried about this, I'll disappear from your life, okay?"

He spoke as if he were trying to reason with me, yet he clung to Anne, as if I were the evil bastard trying to tear them apart.

I sneered. "Hitting you will only dirty my hands."

Anne came over to my side. "Don't worry, honey, I won't divorce you just because I'm pregnant with James' baby. Your mom always wanted grandchildren, right? Now her wish is finally fulfilled. You don't have to feel guilty anymore."

I was the only son in the family, and my mom, Diana Anderson, had always wanted to see her grandchild born.

When Anne said she didn't want to go through the pain of childbirth and wanted to remain childless, I firmly stood by her decision because I loved her. To show that I was serious about what I said, I willingly went to the hospital for a vasectomy.

When Mom found out, she was so angry that she ended up in the hospital.

But now, Anne actually told me she was pregnant with another man's child and even shamelessly tried to spin this into something she did for my own good.

Did she think my love for her was something she could simply trample on? Or did she think that, no matter what she did, I wouldn't leave her?

At that thought, I squeezed my eyes shut in pain. When I opened them again, only coldness remained in my gaze.

"Since you're having someone else's kid, let's get divorced."

Anne froze for a second, then chuckled. "Seth, who are you trying to scare? I know how much you love me. You told me yourself that you would die without me."
