I didn't want to argue with him anymore and hung up the phone.

Less than a minute later, Brian called again.

"Grace, I did explain the reason to you. What's with your childish temper?"

"Quickly prepare the things according to the text message I sent you and bring them over."

He ended the call in a commanding tone.

Brian always does this, demanding me at his command.

But in these seven years, I have also been happily immersed in it.

Because he assured me that his concern for Jessica was based on years of friendship and sympathy for Jessica becoming a single mother.

He assured me that I am the only person he loves.

But what is the reality?

During the ten days I was in the hospital for a threatened miscarriage, he said he was busy and not available to visit me.

But he could go back and forth to Jessica's place for three meals a day for three consecutive months.

When I was alone in the hospital and fainted due to low blood sugar during a prenatal check-up, he said he couldn't get away because of a business trip.

But at the same time, he could drive back from another province just to listen to the baby's heartbeat during Jessica's prenatal check-up.
