In my past life, I thought he was just trying to negotiate a better deal for himself, so I turned a blind eye.
I never imagined he’d go so far just to make sure my family’s wealth had no heirs. Now, seeing how desperate he was to enforce that so-called loyalty contract, I let out a cold laugh.
"David, don’t be so greedy it’s disgusting."
"All we did was hold a wedding. We never even registered our marriage. On what grounds do you think you can kick me out with nothing?"
"And don’t forget you promised my parents there would be a one-year evaluation period. Well, I’m telling you now you failed. We’re done."
I ignored David’s shocked reaction as I held my son tightly. I left him just like that.
On the way back to my parents’ house, I sank into memories of my past life.
Just because David didn’t want to be seen as a ‘simple’ househusband, afraid that it would hurt his pride as a man, I took a step back and compromised—only asking that our child take my surname. Nothing else mattered to me.
David had agreed without hesitation. So, we held a grand wedding and invited all our family and friends.
