“Phoenix, have you lost your mind?”
sighed, closing my eyes, preparing to give him one last chance.
“Edward, where’s your ring?”
Edward absentmindedly touched his finger and realized it was bare. He awkwardly shoved his hands in his pockets. “It’s probably at the hospital.”
I forced a bitter laugh.
I already knew how this would end, but it still hurt like hell.
I pulled out my phone and showed him the photo of Molly from yesterday.

“Your ring is on Molly’s bed.”
“Edward, I’m not the type to cling
desperately. If you’ve fallen for someone
else, then let’s divorce. The child will still call you Dad.”
I had already given up so much, but Edward ripped the divorce agreement into pieces and tossed it in the trash.

for numerous guides online and bought a lot of things.
The delivery man nearly turned my entrance into a mini warehouse with all the packages.
On Christmas Day, I finally finished decorating the house.
I propped up my belly, set the wine on the table, and prepared a large dinner, all ready to welcome Edward home after work.
