Since the Miscarriage, I started to become sensible. Never urged Julian Hale to come home again, Didn't care about him vacationing with my Bestie. Didn't mind him being the father of my bestie's son. Even now, I stepped on a few used Condom Wrappers in his car, Also didn't change expression, casually threw into trash bag. Who knew Julian slammed the brakes, voice like a snapped string, "Me and Tara were intimate in the car... you just have this reaction?" I nodded, tone calm, "Feelings hard to control, I understand." I finally became the sensible wife Julian wanted. Just he didn't know, Those years I was most insensible, I really loved him. ... Chapter 1 "Hazel, you changed." Julian's voice trembled a bit, "Before you wouldn't be so indifferent." I looked at street view flying past window, lightly responded, "That time insensible." "Hazel, I don't need you this sensible, you can quarrel with me like before." I pulled mouth corner, gaze landed on my slightly crooked little finger. That was when I slapped Tara last time, pushed down by him, stepped broken by a foot. See me silent, Julian unprecedentedly promised me, "Hazel, after Christmas, I will cut clean with Tara, we start over." A year ago if I heard such words, would definitely moved to tears. But now, I only feel funny. Car drove all way to Hale family old mansion, just entered door, I saw Tara wearing apron setting plates, just like a hostess posture. Julian instantly panicked, "I didn't know she would be here..." "Is I invited Tara to help." Mother-in-law glanced at me sideways, tone with thorns, "Christmas Eve, don't insensible make joke again." This scene, exactly same as last year. That time Tara also entered room like this, left hand holding mother-in-law, right hand holding Julian. On reunion dinner table, I poured red wine in hand on her head. In Tara's crying sound, Julian unhesitatingly splashed a basin of hot soup to my face. I subconsciously stroked that light scar on forehead corner, suddenly smiled, "Then hard work for Tara." Someone willing act virtuous, I happy to be free. Just turned want grab handful melon seeds, Julian however grabbed me, voice suppressed disbelief, "Hazel Vance, you just let outsider celebrate Christmas with us?" I nodded smiling, returned Julian's words last year intact. "Tara alone bringing child not easy, big festival, can't let them spend alone." "She is my best friend, I no opinion." While speaking, Tara's son suddenly rushed over, head butted on my lower abdomen. "Bad woman! Not allowed you snatch my mom's position!" Tara busy covered his mouth, "Child watched too much cartoons, you don't mind." But in her eyes, no half apology. I quietly stood, abdomen remained dull pain. This world long nothing can make me care, Except that child I forever no chance to birth. Chapter 2 Me and Julian were a pair envied by everyone in university. He remembered my every class time, when cold my thermos always warm. I knew he doing experiment no time eat, passing cafeteria always would bring ribs he loves eating. We chatted literature, also chatted macroeconomics, were lovers, more soulmates. Graduation year Hale family bankrupted by opponent snipe, Father Hale white hair overnight, 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 wound hideous, blood flowed a floor. Father gone, mother sick, debt like mountain crushed him, he got severe depression. I approached him, he raised knife roared let me roll. Moment blade entered my shoulder, he however suddenly awake, holding me wailing cry. Death not afraid, still afraid living? I hid from family processed drop out, accompany him carry together. Seven years, I pieced broken him back bit by bit. We set up stall, delivered food, took odd jobs, balanced accounts together in countless early mornings. Night paid off last debt, he used glass ring polished half year propose to me. Ring circle rough, but was most precious thing I wore. At wedding, he cried speechless in front of everyone, "Hazel, this life I absolutely not fail you." After marriage, we loving sweet, only regret was no child. These years hard work overdrafted our bodies, pregnancy for us abnormally difficult. Injections, egg retrieval, failure, try again... every time out from hospital, lower abdomen hung cold pain. At this time Tara brought child find me, We knew since childhood, her father rotten gambler, mother ran with man when she very small. Parents pitied her, brought her home take care, we ate together lived together, until college entrance exam then separated. I smilingly stuffed a big red envelope 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 in rental waiting me, 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 took me as you." She pushed child towards me, "This is Julian Hale's son." I stood in place, tinnitus covered all sounds. Julian reaction after knowing back home, was fiercely gave Tara a slap, then smoked whole night on balcony. Next day, he eyes red hugged me, "Hazel, that night I drunk knew nothing, I absolutely not recognize this child." Day Paternity Test result out, mother-in-law holding Tommy laughed can't close mouth. Julian however only cold face, "Except Hazel's child, others don't think enter Hale family genealogy." Tara cried sad, she saying these years alone bringing child not easy, if not desperate absolutely impossible come find us. Julian impatiently threw her a check, let her disappear forever. Tara picked up check left, life seemed restored original state. Julian still accompany me go hospital, considerate to me minute, hold tight my hand when injection, wipe tears for me when failed. I gradually put down knot, after all in this matter, Julian not know, and Tara also didn't pester much. Three months later, IVF finally successful. Just when I holding prenatal checkup report, excited call Julian, across traffic flow road, I saw him. He one hand holding jumping Tommy, other hand tightly holding Tara's waist. He lowered head, gently kissed Tara's lips. Chapter 3 I stood in place, paper in hand gripped deep wrinkles, finger calling phone trembling. I tried hard keep voice calm, "Julian, where are you?" Voice other end phone revealed hurried, "I meeting in company, go back accompany you later." "Check result how? Successful?" Successful, but I rather not. See me silent, Julian thought failed again, comfort me, "It's okay Hazel, big deal we DINK, I won't blame you." Opposite road, Julian while calling me, while rubbed Tommy's head, Tara smilingly snuggled in his arms. Like extreme a happy family of three. A tear smashed on back of hand, I pain to speechless, watching helpless they disappear in my sight. Trance back home, report sent by finance impressively less $10 Million. Under questioning, other side then stammering informed, "President Hale lit sky lantern for new secretary Chen auctioned $6 Million gem ring, also bought villa car." I in study, staring financial report sat till late night. Until door lock rang, Julian pushed door in, bringing a body of chill. "Why not sleep yet?" He wanted hug me from behind, dodged by me trace less. "Angry?" He smilingly handed a bunch roses, "Meeting dragged too late, sorry." But he forgot remove thorns on roses, also forgot I don't like roses, rose is Tara's favorite flower. I turned computer screen to him. His smile froze on face, but pretended calm, "Company recently invested a new project, need liquid funds." "What project needs light sky lantern, auction 6 million ring?" Julian's Adam's apple rolled once, "Doing business, always need clear some connections..." "Villa and car, all for clearing connections? I then know Tara's connection so big." "You all knew." Room fell into dead silence. Half晌 (while) later, Julian sighed, "Tara alone bringing Tommy live in rental, she has no job, living environment bad." "Tommy always is my son, I can't watch him suffer, I do this all for child." I face cold indifferent, "So you use company money raise them?" Julian face sank, "Company is my Hale assets, is me one hand built up, I have right decide how use!" I looked at him, suddenly felt incomparable stranger. "Julian Hale, do you still remember day company registered, who paid registered capital?" He stunned. "Is me sold all dowry jewelry, plus money I saved working three jobs." "Company first order, is me accompany client stomach bleeding exchanged." "Most difficult time, is me mortgaged house left by grandpa then passed." "Now you say, company is you one hand built up?" Julian face changed and changed, finally turned into a irritable anger, "Yes, you paid, but I also gave you Mrs. Hale position, this not enough?" "And Tara forever can't get this title, what wrong I compensate her." "Besides, yourself can't pregnant child, could it be want my Hale family end line?" Bruise left by ovulation needle still faintly aching, I laughed out tears. Sperm deformity rate greater than 98%, is main reason I always can't pregnant. I took off that glass ring he personally polished, smashed pieces on ground. I sued Tara, want her spit out what ate in, Bought trending online expose her, let her reputation ruined. Tara didn't live few days good life, then beaten back original form, company also can't stay. She used knife against throat, knelt on ground beg me, "Hazel, I won't snatch your Mrs. Hale position, beg you let go us mother son." She tears voice down, at moment Julian appeared, wiped neck. Force not heavy, watching however very scary. Julian rushed over fiercely gave me a slap, picked her up ran hospital. When back, he full eyes tired, "Hazel, divorce, not for Tara, for Tommy." "You forced them roadless to go, I can only give them a title." I coldly threw out prenatal checkup report, Law, during woman pregnancy, husband cannot divorce. Based on what, my fought all strength legitimate child once born no dad, while mistress illegitimate child can step on my skeleton enjoy life. Julian looked at ultrasound image, face floated a trace joy, no longer mention divorce. He seemed turned back to that considerate husband. Until Tara's son pushed down from third floor by someone, First thing Tommy wake up, was identify me in front of police, "Is Auntie Hazel, pushed me downstairs." "She said, I die, Daddy then only belong her." Chapter 4 Company third floor surveillance artificially destroyed, Only person suspected only me. Police investigated me, finally because evidence insufficient, gave up prosecution. I used connections, asked best lawyer help me investigate truth. But Julian however determined is me, Day I came out from police station, he forcefully choked my neck, eyes ice cold. "How you bear heart hand on child! You not fit be human!" I painful gasp not up air, hard easy then broke free. That day on, Julian started whole night not home, said want redeem sin for me. I touch Tara once, he then twist break my wrist. I say a sentence truth online, he then hold press conference invert black white, accuse me is that third party. Public opinion reverse, netizens verbal criticism pen punish me, bitterly scold my shameless. Parents helped me explain, doxxed by netizens, suffered poison beat. After a live stream of Tara, parents brake line cut by someone, car accident. Pay in hospital then found, my all accounts frozen by Julian. Found him time, he doing with Tara entangled in bed, heat not scattered. "Tommy wants a sister." He tone normal like saying weather. I whole body cold, only repeat, "My parents in hospital, need money." "Apologize." He buttoning shirt, eyes not lift, "Admit mistake to Tara, admit is you pushed Tommy, money immediately arrive account." "Julian Hale, that is people you called parents three years!" "Parents?" He light laugh, "When they gave Tara eat leftovers, use as servant order, didn't treat selves as elders." "If not they harsh to Tara, Tara as to desperate come find us." These all Tara rumors when live stream, Julian believed. I thought of bowls soup mother boiled for Julian, passbook father secretly stuffed him when he start business. Also thought childhood family poor, mother wore new made cotton coat on Tara body, while I wore Tara old clothes. Just when I grit teeth bow head to them, hospital notified bad news. Sky spin earth turn, Tara blocked at door, "Haven't apologize want go? Don't want life saving money?" I used all strength slapped her a slap. Julian returned this slap for Tara, fiercely pushed me away. Lower abdomen hit cabinet corner, severe pain accompanied warm dampness instantly spread. Julian looking full floor fresh blood, suddenly white face, crazy like picked me up rush hospital. Child not kept. When surgery light extinguished, Julian knelt bed side slap own face.

He tried like before chat with me, but I only quietly sitting, not speak a word. Later he stimulate me, deliberately love with Tara, I also only feel numb. I seem no longer love Julian.
