Все главы After I Died, My Husband Suddenly Began to Love Me: Глава 1 - Глава 10

When Christopher came home, I was gently caressing my slightly rounded belly, where our child was growing.I was just about to share the happy news with him, but to my surprise, he came back earlier than expected.In our ten years of marriage, it was the first time we had been so in sync."Honey, I’m pregnant!"I could not stop the smile spreading across my face, already picturing him picking me up and spinning me around like they do in the dramas.But that image never came to life. Instead, he pinched the bridge of his nose, his exhaustion clear. It made my heart ache."Phoebe, Nikki needs your bone marrow."From the weariness in his voice, it was not hard to figure out who Nikki was. She was the woman he could never have, his one true love.Nikki Stone had ditched Christopher for a wealthier man when he was still a broke young guy. So why was she back now?At that time, Christopher was starting his business and desperately needed funds. I became a bar hostess, entertaining c

Christopher, you thought it was unlucky, didn’t you? But that was your wife and your child!I wanted so badly to rush forward, grab him by the collar, and demand answers. But all I could do was stand there and be a pathetic bystander.The doctor stopped him to collect the body-storage fee, and Sally immediately jumped in first and shouted."Everyone, look at this heartless hospital! Overcharging us like this. Isn’t this just taking advantage of us?!"Christopher barely frowned, but I knew that expression all too well. He was disgusted. I never thought he would be disgusted by his own mother.Money wasn’t an issue for Christopher anymore. He just wanted to avoid trouble, so he pulled out a few bills and handed them over, not even caring who took them."Mr. Ford, about Mrs. Ford..."Predictably, Christopher cut the doctor off once again."I don’t have the patience for this game. Let her handle it on her own."He squinted slightly, his gaze settling on the exposed finger of my bo

Hearing Sally humiliate my father, I was overwhelmed with rage. Christopher said nothing but allowed her to dial the phone.The familiar ringtone played. It was a recording from my 18th birthday. I never imagined my father would use it as his ringtone.I had cut ties with my father for Christopher’s sake. In all these years, I had never called him once."If you want your daughter to be okay, wire the money right away."……Parents’ love truly knew no bounds. My father quickly transferred the money, leaving just one simple message. "Please love her a little more."I could not hold back my sobs. In the past ten years, I had failed my parents the most.Christopher, perhaps feeling a pang of guilt, thought it over for a long time before sending me a voice message. His deep voice came through, commanding as always."Phoebe, I forgive you. I’ve decided to consider giving our marriage another chance."It was like he had shot another bullet straight into my already shattered heart

"Didn’t I already tell you? Get the food from that place we used to order from!" Christopher’s assistant, bearing the brunt of his outburst, could not hold back any longer and revealed the truth. "Mr. Ford, the food you’re asking for was cooked by Mrs. Ford herself. She hasn’t sent anything in a long time." Christopher suddenly fell silent, gesturing for the assistant to leave. "Phoebe, how long are you going to keep this up?" He still refused to believe that I was dead, stubbornly convinced that I was just causing trouble. He even tried to arrange a meeting with my father, but my father rejected him without hesitation. "Christopher, could Phoebe really be dead?" Nikki asked, feigning innocence as she leaned into him, blinking her eyes. Christopher’s hand, which had been resting on her shoulder, suddenly tightened, making Nikki cry out in pain. He pretended to brush it off and offered her some empty reassurances. He then mumbled to himself, "No, it’s not possi

"Mom, I’m the one who failed Phoebe. Please stop talking!" In a rare moment of conscience, Christopher pulled Sally away and started walking home. When they returned, Nikki was already making herself at home, acting like the lady of the house. Everything I had left behind had been thrown out, replaced with her clothes filling up the wardrobe that once held mine and Christopher’s belongings. "Christopher, I threw out all of that bar hostess’s things. From now on, it’ll just be me and the baby with you." Christopher suddenly erupted in anger and slapped Nikki hard across the face. "What right do you have to touch her things?" Both Nikki and Sally stood there, stunned. No one dared to intervene. Christopher was fuming and he threw Nikki’s belongings out in front of her. He also demanded to know where she had discarded my things. "But Christopher, Nikki’s carrying your baby!" Sally cried out. She was worried about her grandchild, but Christopher was in no mood to
