However,I received an email from the private detective in my mailbox.The more I looked at it,the colder my face became.I didn't even know that Jack dared to keep a mistress in a separate house.I handed the phone to Amy.
[Is this enough?]Amy flipped through it and nodded.[It's enough.We can even make the mistress return the things that were bought for her.These are all joint property of the husband and wife.]
In the following month,while Jack was at work,I slowly moved my things to the house under my name.He didn't notice,and my heart,which had been full of expectations,became colder and colder.
I don't know how Grace got my contact information.When a friend request popped up on WeChat,I was adjusting the divorce agreement in Amy's law firm.[Hello,Luna.Can I talk to you?]
I sent her a location,and she came very quickly.If I remember correctly,it was working hours now?[What do you want to talk about?]
I didn't want to waste words with her and just wanted to finish it quickly.Grace didn't say anything but just handed me a piece of paper.I casually took it and took a look.
[Go on.]I didn't show any expression,even though my heart was already in turmoil.[I'm pregnant with Jack's child.I don't think Jack would want his child to be labeled as a bastard,right?]
[Whether he wants it or not,it's better for the person involved to say it.What do you think,Ms.Smith?]I turned my head and looked at Jack,who rushed in hastily.
When was the last time I saw him so flustered?Maybe it was the time when I fainted after running a long-distance race at the university sports meeting.But today,his flustered look was full of panic,fear,and the anxiety of being caught in an affair.
Grace followed my gaze and her face changed.She asked me,[What do you mean?][Luna,listen to my explanation.]
Jack didn't look at Grace at all.He grabbed my arm and tried to explain,looking anxious and nervous.I looked at the hand on my arm and thought about it.I stared into his eyes and slowly parted his fingers one by one.
[Don't touch me.]Grace stood up and grabbed Jack's arm.Tears welled up in her eyes.[Brother Jack,I...I just don't want our child to grow up without a father.]
[I didn't mean to,Brother Jack.]I noticed that Jack's face became a little stiff when he heard about the child.He looked at me carefully.
Suddenly,I found that I didn't care anymore.I thought I loved Jack very much,but now I realized that I didn't love him anymore.This thought made me start to panic.Did I stop loving him in seven years?When did it start?
[Luna,you...][Jack,the problems between us don't need an outsider here.What do you think?]
Grace left,and Jack and I sat facing each other.I asked Jack a question.[Do you remember what you said when you proposed to me?]
Jack sat opposite me blankly.He had forgotten.He had forgotten the words he said when he proposed and the promises he made when we got married.[How long has it been?]I asked.
