After hanging up the phone, Aaron thought that if his little woman wanted to think it over, he could only have to give her time to think it over. Anyway, he would not let Rita leave him. But he did not expect Rita to be so sensitive, and he did not expect that her parents would change their attitude towards him.
Luckily, they had plenty of time. He would give her time to think it over. What he was quite sure was that he would definitely not change his attitude towards her. She was still the most important person in his life.
As long as she was safe, he was relieved.
During the few days, Rita asked Nina out to have a meeting. As her best friend, Nina knew what had happened recently even she did not wait Rita to tell her the truth. Mr. Aaron had an illegitimate child. This was the top news of the city. How could Nina not know about such a big matter? She was just worried that her best friend could not bear it.
In the cafe, Nina hesitated for a long time before she said, "Riri, what happened to Mr. Aaron? What are you two going to do? It was really a big deal this time. Was that woman his ex-girlfriend? Does he want the baby or not?"
Nina's series of questions confused Rita. Before she could answer, Nina continued, "Riri, I think you two really have a lot of problems together!"
Yeah, it was the worst two months but the happiest two months that she had ever had since she got married to Aaron. They loved each other very much, but there were too many dangers behind their intimate relationship. She did not doubt her love for Aaron even facing so many dangers, but she was upset that Aaron had never been able to understand her.
Aaron could solve all the problems, but she was not sure that whether he could feel and understand her fear, her cowardice and timidity, her meticulousness, her way of seek common points while reserving difference.
Rita thought that he did not try his best to get to know her, and she could not explain these to him either. He always said that she was just thinking too much.
On the contrary, her best friend Nina knew all these complex feelings of Rita even she did not have to open her mouth. Nina knew what she was thinking, so she sighed, "Marriage is quite different from just falling in love. Things could be easier and simpler when you just have an affectionate relationship with someone. You have much more to think about when you are in a marriage relationship. After all, two people choose marriage and they mean they will live for a lifetime together! You two got married in a daze and carelessly, and now he made another woman be pregnant. You have to think clearly what to do in the future. If you continue this marriage, you have to think clearly how to be Mrs. Aaron."
Rita knew that it was not easy to be Mrs. Aaron. It was much harder than she thought at the beginning.
"My mom and dad want me to divorce."
Nina was not surprised about her words. "It's understandable for your parents to think so. Just think about it, if that baby comes to the world, it's gonna be a terrible trouble for you. You know what it means to let the baby come to the world? He can't be separated from his mother for the whole lifetime. Then who are you to him? Stepmother? Whom will that baby treat you as? What is your position in the Leng family?"
Rita had thought about what Nina said.
"Yes, Mr. Aaron is rich. We cannot deny it. He may send the kid abroad, but can he just leave him alone? Never to care about him for a lifetime? When he becomes an old grandpa in the future, he will definitely feel guilty to the kid." Nina analyzed carefully. She was afraid that Rita would be overwhelmed by love mind, completely ignoring the present situation.
"Ah."
Rita sighed again. She had sighed too much these days.
Nina didn't say anything more. That was all she wanted to tell her best friend. She thought that Rita, as an adult, could straighten out her thinking.
