I asked, “Was catching a cockroach and cooking for someone else the urgent matter?”
Karen froze for a second, then let out a mocking laugh. “Jordan, will you ever get over your jealousy?”
“I’ve known Leon since we were kids. I treat him like a little brother. What’s wrong with helping him out a bit? I’m pregnant, already in a bad mood. Can’t you just cut me some slack?”
Yes, she’s pregnant and the child had congenital issues, at risk of miscarriage at any moment. But even so, she could cook for Leon, killed cockroaches and completely ignored the doctor’s warnings.
In the past, I would have argued with her. But now, I just didn’t care anymore.
I nodded coldly. “I won’t get jealous anymore.”
Soon after that, I turned and went back to the bedroom, leaving her standing there, stunned.
After becoming pregnant, Karen used the excuse that I would disturb her rest to insist on sleeping in separate rooms. I knew she wanted to have a video chat with Leon alone. In the past, I would come up with various reasons to get her to stay with me in the living room, but today, I ignored her sitting on the sofa and went straight to my room to lie down.
