Seven Years of Marriage with Jake

Chapter 40

Book 3- Chapter 4

Back then, just because you said you didn't like children, I had three consecutive abortions. Not only did you not even visit the hospital, but you also insisted on sleeping with me the very next day after I was discharged. I was truly foolish and stupid. To please you, to satisfy you, I actually agreed.

Until I had a massive hemorrhage and permanently lost the ability to become a mother...

"Peter, what did you say? Who is your real father?"

Sebastian glared at him furiously.

"Peter!"

"Dad, I. I don't know what I just said... Mom. I. I misspoke.."

Peter looked at Sofia in bewilderment, dropped his phone, covered his mouth, and ran out.

"Sebastian, I promise you, I'll go kowtow to her right now!"

"Peter just said something wrong, he was just joking, please don't take it seriously..."

I watched Sofia look at Sebastian anxiously, her expression tense, as if facing a formidable enemy. The corners of my mouth curled slightly.

Sofia, how does this taste?

"Slap!"

A resounding slap landed on Sofia's face.

She knelt before Sebastian, begging for forgiveness, crying her heart out.

The scene before me made me feel dazed.

Sofia, you're having your day too? Weren't you always fearless, willing to do anything to achieve your goals? To think there would be a day when you'd be afraid?

How does it feel to kowtow to someone? You've never experienced the taste of kneeling down and begging someone, have you?

In my previous life, I knelt like this before the principal to beg for a chance for you to go to school.

I knelt like this before those thugs to beg them to spare you...

You've long forgotten all the things I did for you, haven't you?

Back then, you were my only family, and I was willing to die for you.

But what about you? Have you ever cherished my sacrifices even once?
