Semua Bab Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"Jackie, I'm pregnant. Eugene's the baby's father. You've been married to him for three years and still haven't given him a single child. But I got pregnant after just a few nights with him. You're pathetic, Jacklyn."The moment Jacklyn Stinson read the message from her sister, Penelope Stinson, she glanced down at the pregnancy test in her hand. The two pink lines stared back at her.She gently touched her lower belly. A faint smile played at her lips, but her eyes were ice-cold.Three years ago, she married Eugene Lloyd.Everyone in Swanford used to say Eugene adored her and wouldn't even let her shed a single tear. They all said Jacklyn must've saved the world in a past life to land a man like him.But no one knew the truth.Back when Eugene was still the unwanted illegitimate son of the Lloyd family, Jacklyn couldn't bear to see him treated like dirt and trapped in what felt like hell on earth.Without hesitation, she took the troubled young Eugene's hand and led him out of

Penelope loved taking things from Jacklyn. When they were kids, it was toys and clothes. Now, it had evolved into snatching men.Looking back on their childhood, Penelope's pitiful look always managed to win more love from their parents.And Jacklyn, who wasn't good with words, was painted as the "bad kid" in their eyes, all because of Penelope's constant accusations."You're the older sister. You should be more considerate of Penelope!""Jacklyn, why can't you be more like Penelope? Say some nice things to make us happy.""You're just a born troublemaker!"Their parents' favoritism left Jacklyn with a childhood trauma.Her early years were a dull gray, and she grew up surrounded by insults and slander.It wasn't until college, when she escaped from her family, that she met Eugene. They were each other's everything.Jacklyn had thought no one could steal Eugene's love from her.But today, Eugene had chosen Penelope. And it was their wedding anniversary, too!Even though she

Eugene clearly heard Jacklyn's words.His eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Jacklyn, the woman who had always adored him, had just said something like that.A sense of panic crept up in Eugene as he notice the aloof Jacklyn. It felt as if a part of him was emptying out.Like his caged bird finally about to fly free, a wave of loss rushed over him, threatening to drown him.Without thinking, Eugene rushed forward and stood protectively in front of Jacklyn. His gaze turned dark and piercing as it swept over the trio in front of him.Finally, his eyes landed on Penelope."Penelope, what did you say?" he demanded. His hands clenched into fists at his side.He feared that Penelope would reveal that they had been sleeping together.If Jacklyn found out, she'd be heartbroken. How long would he have to beg before Jacklyn would forgive him?Eugene never imagined Jacklyn would leave him. In his mind, she might be upset and give him the silent treatment, but she would never walk awa

The maid, unable to watch this any longer, stepped in to offer a gentle reminder."Mr. Lloyd, Mrs. Lloyd is upset because you weren't home on your wedding anniversary. She waited for you for a long time."Eugene suddenly understood. He had received the news about Penelope's pregnancy that day and hadn't been able to make it home. No wonder Jacklyn was upset."Jackie, I made breakfast. Come try it," he said, helping Jacklyn to the table.As soon as Jacklyn caught a whiff of the greasy smell, a wave of nausea hit her, and she had to fight the urge to throw up."What's wrong? Are you feeling sick?" Eugene frowned, clearly anxious.Jacklyn didn't mention the pregnancy nausea. Instead, she casually lied, "It's too greasy. I can't stomach it.""I'm sorry. I didn't think it through. I'll make something else right now."Eugene gently guided her to sit down, his concern overflowing.But to Jacklyn, it felt completely fake."Jackie."Noticing her silence, Eugene assumed she was still

Eugene said, "Jackie, I've made a lot of mistakes these past three years. But you've always been patient and forgiving. I can't thank you enough for that."I know I haven't been the best husband, but I swear from now on, you'll be the only one in my life. I want to grow old with you and spend forever by your side."He spoke with practiced sincerity. Every word sounded full of affection, but to Jacklyn, every sentence dripped with irony.She used to fall for it, no doubt.If Eugene hadn't cheated, he really would've been the ideal partner. He was attentive, gentle, wealthy, and always full of romantic gestures and little surprises.Unfortunately, a cheating man was never worth keeping.Jacklyn smiled faintly, letting Eugene fasten the necklace around her neck.Her fingers brushed over the raised diamonds, which were glinting under the lights. The necklace looked exactly like the one in that photo.Who else in the world could end up in a situation like this? A necklace from her h
