Netizens Told Me to Run Away with My Baby

Good news: I was pregnant.Bad news: I was not on talking terms with the father.How should I tell Shaun Lewis the news without embarrassing myself too much?I put a picture of the positive pregnancy test online and asked the netizens. There were plenty of friendly people on the forum, and soon I had a thousand comments in my inbox.[Send him the photo of the test and tell him the baby starved to death in your war of attrition][Tell him straight to his face: I am not alone! I have someone on my side!][Come back after five years with five genius babies][Tell him, “Come here and get on your knees. I have something to tell you.”]…Yep, they were really helpful. I sighed to myself as I watched the comments flood in. I knew I was right to believe in the inherent kindness of the Internet.A few of the comments stood out among the barrage.[Run away with the baby! I’ve been reading novels for an entire decade, so I have plenty of experience.][Go to a hospital and schedule an

“What is your problem, Nessa? Stop making a fuss and hear me out!”“You still think I’m the one with a problem?” I looked into his eyes and broke free from his embrace. The moment I got my feet back on the ground, I pointed at the door. “I don’t need your excuses. Get lost!”Shaun did not move, tapping away on his phone instead. So now he was not even bothering to explain?I looked at the face I loved for so long.Had he been tolerating me all this time? Was I always throwing tantrums and making a fuss? Was that how he thought of me?Shaun looked up and saw my dejected expression. All of a sudden, he shoved his phone into my face.The photo on the screen showed the SS Princess, a cruise ship I had been eyeing for a long time. It was gracefully docked at a harbor somewhere. “I bought the SS Princess, Princess Nessa.”I immediately fell silent, pouncing onto his phone. For real?! That ship was worth 18 million dollars!Hehe, that was one thing Shaun was good for.I held the ph

Vicky pulled me into her arms and patted my back comfortingly. “Go ahead and cry it out, Nessie.”She wanted me to demand an explanation from Shaun, but I refused. I could not imagine him looking at me expressionlessly, his tone cold as he said, “Nessa Smith, I got sick of you ages ago.”Neither could I accept him lying to me with his usual look of devotion, insisting that there was nothing between him and that woman.The worst part — the part I really could not stand — was that I seemed to be that woman’s substitute…I ran away while pregnant again, hehe.This time, it was no longer a joke. With Vicky’s help, I ran away behind Shaun’s back, going somewhere he could not find me.Serenity City was thousands of miles away from Oceanine. He would never think to find me here.Hmph, now he could spend all his time with his precious love. I pouted. So much from trying to protect me by hiding the truth from me. Men were all such liars.Vicky came by to visit me every so often, brin

He jabbed a finger at Richard. “I will not allow you to date him.”Wasn’t he being a hypocrite? What was with the double standards? How could he have his long-lost love as well as his wife and child, all at the same time?I was furious, demanding, “You won’t let me date anyone else, so why do you get to cheat on me while we’re married?“You know I’m pregnant, so why are you still keeping secrets from me?“When was the first time you lied to me? Was that photo just a meaningless memento?”Tears started flowing before I knew it. My voice hitched in my throat.‘Was it that fun to play with my heart, Shaun Lewis?’ I thought to myself. ‘Will our relationship of many years really lose out to a woman who came from nowhere? How do I know which of your words were true, and which were lies?’I wiped away my tears and opened the door, hoping for some time alone in my house.Shaun put his hand between the door and its frame, only frowning slightly when I slammed the door onto him. He did n

Shaun’s perspectiveMy wife was not speaking to me anymore, because she thought I had a “long-lost love”.I was innocent! I swore on my soul that I was a model husband.I just happened to find a woman who looked a lot like my wife and decided to investigate her. The results of the investigation were not out yet, so I decided to hide it from my wife temporarily. That was all.As a result, I went home to find my wife missing.Not only had she taken her clothes away, she had even tossed my clothes to the floor and stomped all over them.Luckily, I had enough savings to buy her a small gift and coax her home. Before long, however, she started acting up again for some reason.She started running from the dinner table to the washroom to retch into the toilet.I was worried sick, so I asked her if she had eaten the wrong thing again. She rolled her eyes at me in response.What was that about? She thought she hid it well, but I knew she would order take-out when I was not home.The d
