Faced with his questioning, Mavis was speechless for a while.
She thought about it, and decided to look into Anthony's eyes to express.
This made it appear more sincere.
"Yes, I'm not with Ella's brother. The reason why I don't tell you the truth is this child is the product of my one-night stand with someone else. Even I don't know who that man is."
"After I left you, in order to vent, I found a random man and spent a night with him, so I'm pregnant. If you don't want to have a baby with me, other people will naturally fulfill my wish."
"Anthony, do you have to tear off my last layer of protective coloration and show you the bloody truth?"
Anthony listened, his face turning pale inch by inch.
He looked at Mavis with a somewhat broken expression, and fell into a long silence.
The child was relatively young and was obviously conceived after she left him.
What was more, he was the one who watched Mavis take the contraceptive pill.
This child can be the product of any man outside, but it cannot be his.
In an instant, his heart seemed to be pinched almost to pieces, and it was difficult for him to breathe for a time.
The corners of Anthony's eyes were red, his enchanting eyes were staring at her, and his tone became low.
"Mavis, the marriage certificate is still at home, and you are still my wife in name. How can you..."
"How can I be so dissolute and shameless?" Mavis answered for him, sneering. "It's the agreed one-year marriage agreement. I didn't know you haven't sign it, so going out in the name of divorced single is something wrong?"
She stroked her stomach and spoke like a heartless scumbag.
Anthony frowned, feeling cold.
"You have a one-night stand product in your stomach and cheated on me. Mavis, who am I?"
His monstrous rage was trying to kill the last sliver of his reason. He suddenly got up and rushed towards Mavis, pressing her onto the sofa.
Mavis' face changed and she struggled desperately.
The child in the stomach seemed to feel the uneasiness and danger, and kicked her in the stomach.
Mavis wrinkled in pain, and after a while, she was able to breathe and speak.
"You... you are pressing me. It hurts..."
Anthony returned rational, quickly let go of her, and helped her up, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you."
But he was reluctantly pushed away by her. "Since you care about this, you should go through the divorce procedures with me as soon as possible. From now on, we will have nothing to do with each other."
Anthony looked at the wound on his finger and shook his head. His enchanting eyes looked resolute. "I won't divorce."
Mavis didn't understand. "Why? Why do you insist on pestering me? I can finally live a peaceful life. Why do you force yourself into my world?"
A box of unused cotton swabs was thrown on Anthony. Mavis was really angry. "I've already told you I don't love you anymore, but you are stalking me now. It will only bore me. Deal with your wound yourself. Your life has nothing to do with me."
Anthony let the swab box hit his chest, staring at her motionlessly. No one knew what he was thinking.
She didn't want to guess what Anthony was thinking, so she got up and left, leaving him alone in Ella's room.
"The doctor will come soon. I'm just helping you from the perspective of a friend. If it were a stranger, I would do the same."
Anthony froze, staring at her hurtfully.
Really... without a little love and concern for him?
He chased her, but stopped when he reached the door. His injured hand clutched the door frame so tightly that his knuckles were turning white.
"I can, I can be with you..." he can raise this child together with her.
The wound began to bleed again, down the back of his hand. He ignored it, staring at Mavis's receding back with his red eyes.
The unfinished words drowned in the throat, making him difficult to speak.
Just as Mavis left, Ella came with the doctor.
