Since the Miscarriage, I started to become sensible. Never urged Julian to come home again, Didn't mind him accompanying my best friend on vacation. Didn't mind him being the father of my best friend's son. Even now, I stepped on a few used Condoms in his car, Also face unchanged, casually threw into trash bag. Who knew Julian fiercely stepped on brakes, voice like a snapped string, "Me and Scarlett were intimate in the car... you just have this reaction?" I nodded, tone calm, "Hard to control feelings, I understand." I finally became the sensible wife Julian wanted. Just he didn't know, Those years I was most insensible, Really loved him. ... Chapter 1 "Serena, you changed." Julian's voice somewhat trembling, "Before you wouldn't be so indifferent." I looked at street view flying past window, faintly responded, "That time insensible." "Serena, I don't need you so sensible, you can quarrel with me like before." I pulled corner of mouth, gaze fell on my slightly curved pinky finger. That was last time I slapped Scarlett, pushed to ground by him, stepped broken by one foot. Seeing me silent, Julian unprecedentedly guaranteed to me, "Serena, after Christmas, I will cut clean with Scarlett, we start over." One year ago if I heard such words, would definitely moved to tears. But now, I only feel ridiculous. Car drove all the way to Vance family old mansion, just entered door, I saw Scarlett wearing apron arranging plates, completely a hostess posture. Julian instantly panicked, "I didn't know she would be here..." "Is I invited Scarlett to help." Mother-in-law slanted eye at me, tone with thorns, "Christmas Eve, don't be insensible make joke again." This scene, exactly same as last year. That time Scarlett also like this entered house, left hand holding mother-in-law, right hand holding Julian. At reunion dinner table, I poured red wine in hand on her head. In Scarlett's crying sound, Julian unhesitatingly splashed a basin of hot soup on my face. I subconsciously stroked faint scar on forehead corner, suddenly smiled, "Then hard work Scarlett." Someone willing act virtuous, I happy to be free. Just turned want grab handful melon seeds, Julian but a grab me, voice suppressed disbelief, "Serena, you just let outsider spend Christmas with us?" I nodded smile, returned Julian's words from last year exactly. "Scarlett alone taking child not easy, Big Christmas, can't let them spend lonely." "She is my best friend, I no opinion." Speaking, Scarlett's son suddenly rushed over, head hit on my lower abdomen. "Bad woman! Not allowed you rob my mom's position!" Scarlett busy covered his mouth, "Kid watched too much cartoons, you don't mind." But in her eyes, no half apology. I quietly stood, abdomen remained dull pain. In this world already nothing can make me mind, Except that child I forever no chance born. Me and Julian were a pair envied by everyone in college, He remembered my every class time, when cold my thermos always warm. I knew he did experiment no time eat, pass cafeteria always brought his favorite ribs. We talked literature, also talked macroeconomics, were lovers, more soulmates. Graduation year Vance family bankrupt by opponent sniper, Father Vance overnight white hair, forced jump building by creditors. Julian forced drop out, took over astronomical debt. When I found him, he curled in corner of rental room, wrist knife cut hideous, blood flowed a ground. Father gone, mother sick, debt like mountain crushed him, he got severe depression. I approached him, he raised knife roar let me roll. Moment blade sank into my shoulder, he but suddenly sober, hugging me loud cry. Death all not afraid, still afraid living ma? I hid from family quit school, accompanied him carry together. Seven years, I pieced broken him back bit by bit. We set up stall, delivered food, took odd jobs, in countless early mornings check accounts together. Night paid off last debt, he used glass ring polished half year propose to me. Ring circle rough, but is most precious thing I wore. At wedding, he wept in front of everyone, "Serena, this life I absolutely not fail you." After marriage, we loving sweet, only regret is no child. These years hard work overdrew our bodies, pregnancy for us abnormal difficult. Injections, egg retrieval, failure, try again... every time out from hospital, lower abdomen all heavy with cold pain. This time Scarlett brought child find me, We knew since childhood, her father rotten gambler, mother ran with someone when she very small. Parents pitied her, brought her home take care, we ate together lived together, until college separated. I smilingly stuffed a big red packet to child, blame her, "When married, also not tell me, let me prepare Dowry for you." Her eyes dodged, suddenly said, "Remember junior year, I went find you? That time you guys rented a house." I apologetic nod, "Those few days wronged you alone wait me in rental room, lab too busy, I also didn't take you good stroll." "One night, you didn't come back," She interrupted my words, voice very light, "He treated me as you." She pushed child to my front, "This is Julian's son." I stood in place, tinnitus covered all sounds. Julian first reaction after knowing at home, was fiercely gave Scarlett a slap, then smoked on balcony whole night. Next day, he red eyes hugged me, "Serena, that night I drunk know nothing, I absolutely not recognize this child." Day Paternity Test result out, mother-in-law hugged Leo laughed close not mouth. Julian but only cold face, "Except Serena's child, others don't think enter Vance family tree." Scarlett cried sad, she said these years alone bring child not easy, if not desperate also absolutely impossible come find us. Julian impatient threw her a Check, let her forever disappear. Scarlett picked up check left, life seemed restored original. Julian still accompany me go hospital, considerate to me, hold my hand when injection, wipe tears when fail. I gradually put down heart knot, after all in this matter, Julian not know, and Scarlett also didn't entangle too much. Three months later, IVF finally success. Just when I held prenatal check report, excited call Julian, across flowing road, I saw him. He one hand hold jumping Leo, other hand tight hug Scarlett waist. He lowered head, gentle kiss on Scarlett lip. I stood in place, paper in hand clenched deep wrinkles, finger calling phone trembling. I try hard keep voice calm, "Julian, where are you?" Voice on phone reveal hurried, "I meeting in company, go back accompany you later." "Check result how? Success ma?" Success, but I rather not. See me silent, Julian thought failed again, comfort me, "It's okay Serena, big deal we DINK, I won't blame you." Road opposite, Julian while call me, while rub Leo head, Scarlett smiling snuggle in his arms. Like extreme happy family of three. A tear smashed on back of hand, I pain to speak not out words, watch helplessly them disappear in my vision. Trance back home, finance sent report clearly missing $100 Million. Under question, other side stammer inform, "President Vance for new come Secretary Scarlett bid Sky Lantern bought sixty million gem ring, also bought villa car."

Room fall into dead silence. Half晌 (A while) later, Julian sighed, "Scarlett alone bring Leo live in rental room, she no work, living environment bad." "Leo always my son, I can't watch him suffer, I all for child." I face cold indifferent, "So you use company money raise them?" Julian face sink, "Company is my Vance family asset, is I single hand make up, I have right decide how use!" I look him, suddenly feel incomparable stranger. "Julian Vance, you still remember company register day, register capital who paid?" He stunned. "Is I sold all inheritance jewelry, plus I worked three jobs saved money." "Company first order, is I accompany client stomach bleeding exchange come." "Most difficult time, is I mortgage grandpa left house then passed." "Now you say, company is you single hand make up?" Julian face changed again change, finally turn into a kind irritable anger, "Yes, you paid, but I also gave you Mrs. Vance position, this still not enough?" "And Scarlett forever can't get this title, I compensate her what wrong." "Besides, yourself can't pregnant child, could it be want my Vance family end heir?" Bruise left by ovulation injection still faintly pain, I laughed out tears. Sperm deformity rate greater than 98%, is main reason I always can't pregnant.
