Spent Eight Years Learning I Don't Belong Chapter 10
Elizabeth's POVA month later, Nathan and I finished the divorce proceedings. When we came out of the courthouse, the sky was very clear. Nathan stood on the steps, holding the divorce certificate. "Liz."I turned around.He had lost a lot of weight, so his shirt hung loosely on him. "Can you have a meal with me?"I shook my head. "Mom's waiting for me at home."A bitter smile tugged at the corner of his lips. "You always used to tell me that my mom was waiting for me at home, too. But I'd never bothered asking if your parents were waiting for you at home."I didn't respond.He took a glass box out of his pocket. Inside lay that pair of yellow baby socks. "This is for you."I didn't take it. "Keep it. It doesn't belong to me anymore."Nathan's eyes reddened. "Every day when I go home, I feel like you're still there. But there's no more food that you prepared for me in the fridge, no clothes of yours on the balcony, and no one asking me in the morning what time I'll be back.

Elizabeth's POVI had thought things would end there.But the next day, Sonia made a post on her social media. "Some people mistake sensitivity for kindness and selfishness for clarity. A few jokes among adults at a gathering, and she forced her husband to cut ties with friends of over a decade. She even used a child to punish others. Truly eye-opening."My name wasn't mentioned. The accompanying photo, however, was the group shot from that camping trip.Comments quickly piled up in agreement."Poor Nate. He's had it tough.""All it takes is a nasty wife to ruin a family.""Some wives are just hard to please."When the screenshot was sent to me, I was in the middle of submitting the divorce paperwork.Kendra was so angry that she called me. "What the hell is wrong with these people? They're the ones in the wrong, but now they're turning around and blaming it on you?"I remained calm. "It's fine."That evening, I, too, posted on my social media. I didn't write long paragrap

Elizabeth's POVThree days later, Nathan showed up at our door again, accompanied by Meredith this time.The moment the door opened, Meredith barged in with reddened eyes. "Elizabeth, how can you be so heartless? Getting pregnant is such a big deal, but you didn't even say a word to the family and just went ahead and got rid of the baby?"Mom paled instantly. She didn't know about the baby yet.I stood up and shielded Mom behind me. "That was my decision to make."Meredith slapped the table in anger. "But that baby was a Hart too!"Dad asked coldly, "Where were all of you Harts when Lizzie was going through the procedure?"Meredith choked on her words. "Nathan was busy with work."I laughed. "Right. He was busy camping."Nathan spoke in a low voice. "Mom, stop.""Why should I?" Meredith pointed at me and accused, "She secretly got rid of the child, and now she wants to split the assets? Where's the logic in that? She won't get a single cent from the Hart family's property!"

Third-Person POVNathan didn't sign the divorce agreement. He left it on the table and went back alone.That evening, a notification suddenly popped up in "The Dirty Dozen" group chat. "Nathan has left the group."Not long after, Sonia called him. "Nate, what do you mean by this?"Nathan stood in the empty living room. The abortion papers were still on the dining table, and he had placed the little socks in a glass box. "Gather everyone and come over to my house."Half an hour later, all 11 of them were there. No one dared to joke around the way they used to.Sonia spoke first. "Did Elizabeth complain to you?"Nathan looked at her. "She didn't complain. She simply repeated every word you people said, exactly as it was."Someone let out a dry laugh."It's all just jokes between friends. Elizabeth won't really take it seriously, will she?""You turned her recordings into an audio pack. You call that a joke?"The person's expression stiffened."Every one of you sent those vo

Third-Person POVThe next afternoon, Nathan appeared at Elizabeth's parents' door.He hadn't slept all night, and he hadn't shaved either. In his hands was the strawberry cake Elizabeth used to love and a jewelry box.When Elizabeth's dad, William Parker, opened the door and saw who it was, his face immediately darkened. "What are you doing here?"Nathan looked past him into the house. "William, I'm looking for Liz."William blocked the doorway. His Crestorian wasn't good, and when he got anxious, his Briaric accent got even heavier. "She doesn't want to see you."In the past, Nathan always claimed he couldn't understand William and would always make Elizabeth translate for him. This time, Nathan didn't dare miss a single word."My daughter isn't going back with you."Nathan lowered his head. "I know I was wrong. I just want to talk to her."It was at that point that Elizabeth came out of her room. She hadn't seen him for a few days, and he looked like he'd lost a lot of weigh

Third-Person POVIt pained Nathan to see the words "six weeks pregnant" on the abortion paperwork.He picked up the pair of little yellow socks beside it. They were tiny—smaller than his palm even. Nathan's lips moved, but no sound came out.After a long while, he grabbed his phone and called Elizabeth. But her phone was powered off. He tried again. Still, it was off.In the end, he opened the messaging app and sent over a dozen messages in a row."Elizabeth, where did you go?""What's with the abortion papers?""You were pregnant?""Why didn't you tell me?"He froze the moment he sent that last one. Why hadn't she told him?But she had asked him. That night, she'd sat on the couch and quietly asked if he wanted a child.How had he answered, then? He said yes. And then he said the child must not learn Briaric.Nathan raised his hand and slapped himself. Hard.His phone buzzed just then. In "The Dirty Dozen" group, Sonia sent a message. "Home yet, Nate?
