My lifeless eyes fell on Kristina's dress. It turned out that the authentic one looked so good...
It made her skin look so good.
But I was so ill that I might not look good no matter what I wore.
Seeing me standing there without moving, Jonathan frowned with impatience.
"What's wrong with your belly? It's so big. Can't you eat less? Why are you so disgusting after married? Why are you wearing a tight skirt with such a big belly? Do you want everyone to know that you're fat?"
Then, Jimmy made faces at me.
"Mom is so ugly. Kristina is prettier!"
After saying that, he turned around, buried his head in Kristina's arms, and acted coquettishly.
I looked embarrassed and helpless.
Seeing this, Kristina spoke up to ease the tension between us.
"Today is Jimmy's fifth birthday. For the sake of the child, please stop quarreling..."
"Catherine, how about I help you put on makeup?"
When I heard her voice, I shook my head hastily, and my movement was so big that it hurt my chest.
But Jonathan snorted and said, "You're so ungrateful."
I forced a smile and slowly turned back to the bedroom.
Those few steps almost drained all my strength. After closing the door, I squatted on the ground, sweating profusely.
My tears and sweat dripped together, and I heard the sound of their chatting outside.
"Okay, stop helping her. If you hadn't gone abroad, how could I have married her? I regret it so much now!"
Kristina comforted him softly, "It's okay. Aren't we doing well now? I can still fulfill my promise and stay with you and the child."
Jimmy didn't understand what they were saying, but he was laughing.
"I just want Kristina to accompany me. I don't want my mother..."
Jonathan sighed helplessly when he heard this.
"When I first saw her, she looked exactly like you. I didn't expect that, after we got married, I found she was so much worse than you..."
They didn't deliberately lower their voices, and Jonathan knew very well that I could hear them.
But he didn't care.
He never considered my emotions.
I could ignore his thoughts, but Jimmy's disgust for me made me feel heartbroken.
Even Jimmy thought I was redundant in this family.
From the day we got married, I could sense that Jonathan had someone else in his heart.
There seemed to be a barrier between us.
Everyone said he loved me and was very good to me.
He was a rare good man.
