Chapter 3 Worried

He replied to that girl:

"It's nothing. What I should do."

Hearing the way the two of them addressed themselves didn't sound like lovers, but she couldn't ignore it either. What if this was a play designed to pass her by? Before everything was clear, she would definitely trust no one but herself.

That girl saw her and smiled and started a conversation with Jennifer:

"Hi, may I ask what you are..."

"It's my wife!"

He quickly introduced himself and wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close to him. That girl was somewhat surprised but also cheerfully said:

"So you're his wife. I'm sorry to bother you two so late at night. I have a problem, but your husband helped bring me back to the hotel. I came here. I'm here to see you just to return your coat, don't make a mistake."

"Anna"

A man's voice resounded from the hotel. She gave him her coat and bowed slightly in thanks.

That girl heard her husband calling, and quickly said:

"I won't bother you anymore, thank you!"

With that, she turned to leave with the man waiting in the other hotel. At that moment, he turned to her, smiling mockingly:

"Did you see anything?"

She looked at his attitude and immediately guessed that he was deliberately teasing her. His cheeks flushed red and he lowered his head slightly, stammering:

"See what? I don't see anything."

He gently lifted her chin to face him.

"I have nothing to do with her. The man just now is Anna's husband, don't think too much. I won't leave you and your mother."

"You... Are you telling the truth?"

"Really! Let's go home quickly, it's cold at night and it's not good for you and the baby in your belly."

She nodded obediently, listening to him.

She smiled, the corners of her eyes curled up. It turned out to be just a misunderstanding, he and that girl didn't mean anything to each other. Yes, that girl is also married because she saw the wedding ring on her ring finger while giving him the shirt. This time, it was she who misunderstood him.

"Let's back home!"

His voice startled her out of her hazy thoughts. She averted her gaze and tried to walk with him, but her legs couldn't move. Because she ran everywhere looking for him, her legs no longer had the strength. Seeing her standing still, he immediately looked down. The small legs in tight shoes have swollen ever since.

He watched her say nothing and quietly sat down with his back to her.

"Come on, I'll carry you back."

She widened her eyes in surprise, embarrassed:

"No...no need to bother. I can go by myself."

"Your feet are all swollen. I haven't told you yet that you don't listen to your words and leave the house on your own. Don't be stubborn!"

She hesitated for a moment, finally climbing onto his back. His back was both big and wide, and she could feel the warmth transmitted to make her warmer. She smiled with satisfaction, secretly hoping this moment would last forever. Suddenly remembering him going out late at night, she asked:

"Where were you going then?"

"Go buy a mango for you."

"Buy a mango?"

He nodded.

"Yes, a few days ago, you said you like to eat mango, so you went out to buy it for you."

His words stunned her. It is true that she said a few days ago that she wanted to eat mangoes, but she only said it temporarily, but she did not expect him to remember it so well. His actions now make her happy, but in her heart she still feels insecure. She was silent for a long time as if pondering over something. It wasn't until a moment later that she spoke up:

"William, can I ask you something?"

Hearing her intonation, he thought what she was about to say was very serious, so he quickly replied:

"Please speak."

She took a deep breath and calmly said:

"Do you change because of me or because of the responsibility for the baby in my belly?"

Her unexpected question made William Jackson momentarily unable to react. In fact, after hearing his call, this was the first thing she thought of. She wanted to know that he loved her, so he changed to save this marriage or just because he was responsible for his children. The baby in her belly was the result of a time he accidentally got drunk and got uncontrollably. She wondered if he wasn't drunk that day, wouldn't he love her?

He was silent, not because it was difficult to answer but he needed time to redefine his feelings. Neither of them spoke, the atmosphere gradually became quiet. She suppressed a sigh, waiting in her heart for his answer. No matter what, she will still accept the truth.

After a few minutes of silence, he spoke:

"Because of you, Jennifer, I fell in love with you."

Three words "Because off you" rang in her ears, making her so surprised that she could not speak. Did he really change because of her?

Jennifer Martinez took a deep breath to calm down and asked:

"You said because off me?"

William nodded.

"Because off you and our children."

"But don't you still love Madison?"

To say this sentence, her throat choked and struggled to speak. She came to him while he still hadn't forgotten his first love, all these years she had pursued her efforts just to receive his love. But now that she had the answer, she didn't believe it.

She was lost in her own thoughts without realizing she had reached his parking lot. William let her stand facing each other, face to face. Three years of marriage, this was the second time he and she stood this close together. He smiled softly and patted her head.

"What happened between me and Madison is in the past. Right now what I care about most is you and the baby, nothing else matters."
