With a loud slap, the room became quiet again.
I could barely recall how many times I had struck him because of Heidi, yet he still would not change.
“Ezra, that money was what you said you would never use, and now you spend it to please the mistress, is that it?”
Three years earlier, on Vera’s one-month celebration, Ezra and I set up a trust fund for her together, to keep her safe for her whole life.
He was the one who promised that no one would ever use this money.
“Yes, so what, Evie? I already stopped loving you long ago!”
“If not for this child, I would have married Heidi a long time ago!”
“You supported me before, I truly feel thankful, but now I’m telling you we have already settled everything!”
Ezra spoke many lines without stopping, every word hurting deeply.
I stared at his face, suddenly feeling a bit lost.
What was he saying…
When I was pregnant, he gently placed his ear on my stomach and happily said, “Baby, your dad and mom are both waiting for you; you need to arrive safe and healthy.”
After the baby came into the world, he changed diapers himself, picked up baby things, and softly said, “Evie, thank you, our little family is now whole.”
