As soon as Edgar entered the apartment, his deep eyes fell on the woman on the sofa, her legs curled and leaning against the sofa. Her beautiful face no longer looked strong and indifferent as usual.
He went up quietly, staring at her sleeping face. Frowning tightly in her sleep, Ivy seemed not to sleep well.
He stared at her like that for a long time. Although there was no expression on his face, he was extremely restless in his heart. How he wished he could just look at her and love her in this way. But he knew that he could not love her, nor should he love her.
Noticing that she was still in sleep, he finally fixed his eyes on her when she held herself tightly in her arms. He frowned and held her up gently. He wanted to take her back to the room.
When he touched her body, she suddenly opened her eyes.
Looking at each other, the air seemed to be frozen at the moment. Ivy thought it was a dream, but as the pounding of her heart became more and more fierce, she was reminded that it was not a dream.
Ivy lowered her head in embarrassment. When she raised her head again, she was as cold as usual.
"Mr. Edgar, what's the matter?" She said to Edgar.
Suddenly, he stood up. Hiding his gentle eyes.
When Edgar opened his eyes, a hint of coldness rose from the corner of his eyes. He said, "Ivy, be careful of your body. If something happens to your baby because of you, even if you die of illness, you can't take medicine. Do you understand?"
There was a trace of bitterness in Ivy's heart. It turned out that he was afraid that her illness would affect his baby while she was sleeping here. Edgar was a cold man indeed.
She replied coldly, "don't worry, Mr. Edgar. I haven't developed such a weak body."
"Whatever." He said coldly.
Then he turned around and walked to his room.
The living room was not far away, but he suddenly felt that this distance was so long. His fists gradually clenched and then loosened. In fact, he didn't want to do this to her. He hurt her, and also hurt himself.
After watching him leave, Ivy watched him walk into her room and close the door.
She took a deep breath and could not hold back her tears as long as they were released. She did not dare to make a sound. She bit her lips hard, letting the tears run down.
Since Edgar doesn't love me anymore, why do you treat me like this.
She cried for a while, and then went back to her room without saying a word.
Ivy stayed in the room for the whole day until the door was knocked again.
She knew that he put the noodles on the door again.
She didn't come out and have meal with him. She could say that. When he was in, she never went out and she stayed in her own room.
Usually, Edgar would put the meals at the door, knock and then leave.
She knew that he must be afraid of starving the baby to death.
After a month, her belly began to swell. She was getting more and more inconvenient. She didn't want to move. She had a slovenly expression all day long.
Several times, Edgar walked to her door and turned back in silence. He had been observing her these days.
When he saw her sad eyes, he felt something wrong.
So Edgar quietly went to the hospital to ask Dr. Young, and the results were that Ivy seemed to have prenatal depression.
This news was like a bomb, smashing his heart.
Edgar returned to the apartment, uneasy.
He paced around her room for a long time.
