"What do you mean? Did you just say that I was pregnant with another man before our marriage?"
Rita couldn't help shouting at Magee angrily.
No, that was impossible. She hadn't slept with a man three months ago. How could she just get pregnant three months ago? Unless it was wireless reproduction.
Rita really wanted to laugh. She sneered, "Are you doubting me by asking me this? I didn't have sex with anyone before that. Except for Aaron. Do I even not know who is the father of my baby?"
Of course, Magee believed in her, but all kinds of evidence showed that since she had been pregnant for three months ago, the child could not be Aaron's. Not only did she think so, but everyone would think so.
"You are in a very dangerous situation now. Aaron doesn't believe that the child is his, because of the pregnant period. More than three months ago, Aaron did not have sex with you. Everyone thinks that the baby's father is not him. Riri, tell me, what was exactly going on?"
Rita was stunned. Now she was completely in a panic. How could it be possible that she didn't know that she had sex with others.
But they said that the child was not Aaron's. Then whose could it be? She was confused by those opinions. She shook her head and said, "I really didn't, didn't have sex with any man before Aaron."
She said it word by word, looking at Magee, like a student who made mistakes to report the situation to the teacher.
Seeing that Rita was so serious, he believed that she was saying the truth. He believed in what kind of person she was, so he believed that she was definitely not a skittish woman. "I believe in you, but my trust is useless. It has to be the trust from Aaron. Now he is sure that the baby is not his. What do you think we should do?"
"Well, if he doesn't trust me, I have nothing to say. If he doesn't even trust me about the baby, I really don't..."
But on second thought, she realized that it was herself who made Aaron lose his trust in her again and again. If she hadn't done these things, he wouldn't have been so disappointed at her. How could she explain the matter of Pitt? After all, it was a fact. Now that such a thing happened, he would reasonably believe that the baby was not his.
Rita covered her belly and curled up in pain. "You can go out now. I want to be alone for a while."
"Riri." Hearing his gentle calling, Rita shook her head and covered her ears. "Get out! Get out now! I don't want to hear a single word."
She didn't want to listen to him at the moment no matter what he tried to say. Magee actually didn't know what the suitable words at the moment was. Seeing Rita like this, he felt heartbroken. He stood up and said slowly, "If you need me, just call me. I'll be outside waiting. You can call me at any time."
After this, he went out and gently closed the door.
In the ward, Rita curled up on the bed, crying bitterly. Would Aaron answer her phone? Would he hang up when he saw her caller ID? Had he blacklisted and deleted her number already?
