Ex-husband’s Regret by Lean

Chapter 50

With this little episode, I found myself distracted intermittently throughout the morning. It was as if there were an angel and a devil inside my head arguing.

One said, "See, he does care after all. He even remembered the day we first met."

The other countered, "But just recently, he forgot you were even from the Univeristy of Jelaston. How could he remember this date? Most likely, he asked someone like Tom. Don't fall into the trap of romanticizing!"

At noon, I shook off these complicated thoughts and invited Jane to have lunch at the canteen together. We used to order takeout or eat out frequently, but lately, I couldn't bear to walk an extra step and found the canteen's food to be fresher and cleaner, so I settled there.

As I approached the office area, someone had already packed my lunch. Suddenly catching a whiff of it made me feel nauseous, prompting me to rush to the toilet. After thoroughly emptying my stomach and enduring the bitter taste in my mouth, I leaned against the wall to steady myself.

I had never imagined before how painful pregnancy could be. Yet, the thought of the little life inside me made it all worthwhile.

"Are you throwing up again?"

I had thought everyone would be out for lunch at this hour, but upon opening the door, I saw Jessica standing at the sink.

My heart skipped a beat. If she found out about my pregnancy, she wouldn't let it go so easily. If Ryan found out about it, I wouldn't stand a chance in the custody battle.

Suppressing my nervousness, I tried to speak calmly. "Isn't it normal to throw up after having an upset stomach? You're quite idle if you have time to stand here and listen to me throwing up."
