Chapter 2: Hide Pregnancy
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Noah was indeed with her because of his grandfather. That was good too. She was not angry about the female celebrity and him. After all, both of them were outstanding. If Noah had not been forced to marry by his family, she would not have had the chance to be with him. She was already very satisfied with the past few years.
At the thought of this, Mia felt a little happier. After all, this was the only time Noah had agreed to her decision. Although it was a divorce, she was the one who had said it first. This also gave Mia some dignity.
Mia, who had her head lowered silently, revealed her fair and slender neck. She looked even more delicate and pitiful.
Seeing her like this, Noah’s fingers felt a little itchy. He wanted to go up and caress her soft hair and fair neck again like in the past, then kiss Mia’s earlobe and lips.
But Noah didn’t make a move. He held back. He hadn’t planned on getting a divorce, but wanted to teach her a lesson since Mia had always insisted on it.
Noah felt that his wife was like an unruly child who needed her family to discipline her. That was what Noah thought, so he verbally agreed to the divorce. He did not take it to heart.
However, when Mia saw Noah’s nonchalant look, she became even more disheartened. Hence, she endured the sadness in her heart, stood up and said goodbye in a low voice, then got up and went upstairs.
Noah watched Mia walk up the stairs from downstairs. Her delicate back looked like it could be blown down by a gust of wind, so he followed Mia. When he reached the upper floor, he watched Mia walk into the room for less than two minutes before she came out with a blanket and walked towards the guest bedroom.
Noah frowned in disbelief. “What are you doing?”
Noah seemed to find it hard to believe that the person who was hugging the blanket and wanting to sleep apart was actually Mia, who used to be sweet and gentle.
However, when Noah frowned, he looked especially fierce. In the past few years, Noah had rarely been especially gentle to Mia, so Mia was a little afraid of Noah. Now that he said it, Mia hugged the blanket in her hands tightly, as if it was her own protective umbrella. Then, she said in a low voice, “Sleep in separate rooms…”
“…” Noah frowned even more fiercely. Even his expression started to change. He looked even more displeased. “Why?”
Mia, hugging her blanket, stood alone at the door. She looked like she had been bullied.
After a long while, she opened her mouth and said, “You cheated on me… You’re dirty!”
Noah’s expression darkened when he heard this. He was so angry that he wanted to go up and pinch Mia’s face. He had already explained himself, so why did Mia still not believe him?
Noah’s mood was even worse tonight. Hence, he did not want to say anything else. His face sank. “Alright, do whatever you want.”
With that, he turned around and walked into the master bedroom before slamming the door shut.
When Mia saw this, she became even more depressed. She turned around and slowly walked towards the guest bedroom. At this moment, Mia felt as if the blanket in her hand weighed a thousand kilograms. It was so heavy that it made her feel uncomfortable.
When the two of them got married, Noah was only together with Mia because of his family’s compulsory orders. Noah hated being threatened the most. Although it was a arranged betrothal since he was young, it still did not make Noah develop any feelings for Mia. Instead, it made him hate Mia even more.
Especially on their wedding night, the disgust and impatience displayed on Noah’s face hurt Mia even more.
Mia only remembered how scared she was that day. That night, Noah did not care that it was Mia’s first time. His actions on the bed were incomparably intense, and there was no gentleness to speak of at all. It was almost as if he completely showed his annoyance towards Mia on the bed. It was also at that time that Mia realized that Noah was averse to this marriage. He was only with her because he was pressured by his family.
After their wedding night, Mia was in pain for a few days, so much so that for the next few years, Mia was afraid to sleep in the same bed as Noah. During that period, Mia was even afraid to see the bed in the master bedroom. However, she did not dare to tell Noah about this because Noah would not pity her.
At the same time, Mia didn’t dare to tell Noah’s grandfather. On one hand, she felt that it was hard to say such a thing out loud, and on the other hand, she was afraid that her relationship with Noah would worsen things. Hence, Mia spent every night in fear.
Later, as time went on, probably two or three years after they were married, or maybe it was because it had been so long, Noah resigned himself to his fate and learned to be gentler in bed so that Mia wouldn’t be so scared anymore, and Mia slowly walked out of the trauma.
Mia had buried her suffering during this period of time in her heart and never told anyone about it.
But now, his grandfather was in critical condition and was still in the hospital. No one could stop Noah now. If Noah really wanted to divorce her and force her to abort the child, she would be forced to accept it. So she had to hide the pregnancy, Mia thought.
The next morning, Mia waited for Noah to get out of the house to work before she quickly packed up and left.
Mia had gone to look for her alumni that was a doctor. This alumni was an upperclassman she had known in university and had always taken good care of her. He was also the one who had found out that Mia was pregnant. On the day of the investigation, the senior showed her the examination report. When she found out about it, she was overjoyed and kept saying, “I’m pregnant, senior, look, I’m pregnant.”
At that time, the senior looked at her with a helpless smile and said, “Look at how excited you are. I did the checkup for you, so wouldn’t I know that you’re pregnant? Silly.”
During the first few years when she was with Noah, Noah had always been very careful about contraception. The elders in the family had always been very anxious about the fact that they had been married for a few years without children. Grandpa was too embarrassed to rush Mia, so he kept urging Noah to spend more time with Mia. However, Noah always used various reasons to brush it off. As time passed, the elders in the family saw that they could not dissuade Noah, so they did not rush him so much. However, every time they returned to the old residence to meet, this topic was still unavoidable.
In those few years, Noah seemed to have become defiant. Even during Mia’s safe period, he would always pay attention to it. However, in the past year, perhaps Noah had forgotten or resigned himself to fate. In short, he had forgotten about contraception.
This senior had always known about Noah’s attitude towards Mia very clearly. Although he was so angry when he found out about these things that he wanted to beat Noah up, this was after all a family matter and outsiders could not interfere.
Hence, no matter how angry Senior was, he never said anything in front of Mia. On one hand, he was afraid that Mia would feel awkward and sad, and on the other hand, he pitied Mia.
Senior thought that now that Mia was pregnant, this should be a good opportunity to reconcile their relationship. After all, the child was the bridge between them. With the child, they would have more topics to talk about. Furthermore, even if Noah did not like Mia, would he not like his own child? If he liked the child, would he not like Mia?
In that case, their relationship would improve soon.
Senior had been waiting with this thought for more than half a month, but he didn’t expect that the first thing Mia would say to him today was whether there was any medicine that could control one’s morning sickness and pregnancy reaction, so that others wouldn’t be able to tell that she was pregnant so quickly.
She had yet to show her pregnancy, and her pregnancy reaction was not that obvious. The people around her should not be able to tell for the time being, but with Noah’s keen observation skills, he would definitely be able to find out in ten days to half a month. Hence, to be safe, Mia came to the hospital today to ask for the senior’s solution.
The senior was stunned. “What do you mean? Why are you asking this?”
It was already the beginning of winter, and the weather was getting colder. Mia was already afraid of cold, and now that she had a baby, she put on her down jacket early. The down jacket wasn’t very tight, so it made Mia look even more delicate. Her face was buried in the collar of the down jacket, and a part of it was covered by her long hair, so she looked pale and thin.
Mia forced a smile. “I’m going to divorce Noah.”
The senior was stunned for a moment. When he came back to his senses, he immediately slammed the table and said, “What do you mean? What does Noah want? His family insisted that you get together with him, but they actually want a divorce now? Let’s go and ask his grandfather.”
As he spoke, he was about to pull Mia out.
Mia stood up and pulled the senior. “Senior, don’t go. I was the one who initiated the divorce.”
The senior was completely stunned. After calming down, he stood up and poured a cup of hot water for Mia.
Mia took the hot water that the senior had poured for her and drank it in small gulps. Her pale face slowly regained some color. Then, she slowly lowered her head and told the senior the whole story.
After hearing that, the senior immediately slammed the table in anger. “Noah, that playboy. He has a wife at home, yet he still has to go out and flirt around. Also, what is that female celebrity doing? She even dared to come to the house to look for you. They are really a pair of immoral people. He actually has the face to say that he wants to divorce you? Who would want such scum?”
As Mia listened to his repetitive angry scolding, her originally depressed mood also brightened slightly, so she said, “That’s why… I want to divorce him.”
“Since you’re planning to get a divorce, why are you keeping the child?” The senior had scolded enough and calmed down.
Then, the senior looked at Mia with a frown and said, “You know how difficult it is to take care of a child on your own. Look at how many single mothers I have to see in the hospital every day. Just the pregnancy checkup alone has all kinds of problems. No one can take care of you, not to mention the huge financial pressure. Also, who will take care of you when you give birth? You still have to take care of the child on your own.. How can you endure all these hardships alone?”
