Chapter 5
Leonard pulled me a little farther away from her. “After all the disgusting things he’s done, you still want my sister to have his child?” he snarled.
“Ask your son if he remembered that my sister was pregnant when he was getting his rocks off elsewhere.”
“Enough!” Shane suddenly yelled.
It was quite hilarious to me how he still thought he had the right to be angry.
“Ask me? Ask me what? Did anyone bother to ask me if I even wanted this child?” he sneered.
“Miley Hephman, we’ve clearly said we don’t want kids, yet you just had to set me up. And now you’re blaming me? If it weren’t for the child, I wouldn’t have to resort to all this.”
He then took a deep breath and scanned the room.
“I spend my days toiling over work to earn money for this family. And when I come home from work, my time revolves around you.
“Look at how boring our lives have become. And for what? For a child I never even wanted. How long has it been since we’ve gone on holiday?
“Everything we buy, everything that goes in the shopping cart is for the child. And we used to go out for Valentine’s Day too, but now, you have to be extra careful just walking down the corridor.
“I can’t even imagine what our lives will become once the child actually arrives. And what about the next ten or 20 years while waiting for him to grow up? My life will be completely ruined.”
He exhaled a deep breath, then walked over to pick up the divorce papers.
“It might actually be a blessing in disguise now that the baby is gone. I won’t hold it against you, and you should let things go too.”
