Chapter 1 Author: Anonymous When Jake came back, I had already booked an appointment for an abortion the next day. I had been married to Jake for five years but never got pregnant. A few days back, I found out that I had been pregnant for two months. I had thought about telling Jake about it during our anniversary as a surprise, but by the looks of it, he no longer needed it. Jake put a bag on the table and came over to hug me. "Honey, I bought some congee for you. Eat it." I cast a glance at the bits of rice and the barely perceptible flecks of meat inside. How ridiculous. These must be leftovers from a certain someone. I avoided his touch and pushed the bag away. "I don't have any appetite." Jake just thought that I was not being honest and poured the congee into a bowl before delivering it to me. "Stop kicking up a fuss, honey. Don't you love this?" The fishy smell from the cool congee crept into my nose, and I ran into the toilet to hurl. Jake came over to pat my back, but I smacked his hand away and glared at him with teary eyes. "Don't touch me!" My repeated rejection made him angry, and Jake raised his voice in displeasure. "What exactly do you want?! I've already set aside my pride to make you feel better! Isn't it enough?! "I'm not even holding you responsible for those sarcastic remarks you left behind, and you just refuse to let this issue slide!" His righteous behavior made it seem like I was in the wrong. I stared at him in disbelief, and my voice quivered as I said, "Am I supposed to magnanimously congratulate another woman for being pregnant with my husband's baby?" Jake yanked his tie off in frustration.
