Gerald didn't believe me either. With a look of contempt, he said, "First, you wanted me to accompany you to the Barren Family's New Year dinner. Now, you're claiming to have been in the same car as Barren Family's heiress."
"Eleanor, do you ever tell the truth? And didn't we agree after marriage that there wouldn't be children? How could you possibly be pregnant?" After finishing his rant, he led the paramedics to tend to Joanne, who only had minor scrapes.
Finally, I understood why Gerald had been so adamant about not wanting children after our marriage. As if sensing my emotions, my belly tightened and I felt a slight fetal movement.
The blood flowing from my body intensified, quickly staining my legs and pooling beneath me.
Alma desperately called for help, but I stopped her. There was no point in asking Gerald.
The Barren Family was the wealthiest in Jade Harbour City, a level far beyond my reach. However, three years ago, my brother had donated his kidney to Alma's father on his deathbed.
From that moment on, the Barren Family invited me to their home every New Year. If Gerald had joined me just once, he would've realized I'd never lied to him.
