Brooke released me. I directly lay on the carpet. Anyway, the carpet in his house was very soft and comfortable to lie on.
I guessed that Brooke was shocked. He came from an influential family. All the women he had dealt with were young ladies of note. None of them would be so shrewish on the surface.
He must have never seen a woman like me. I would let him know that this was the consequence of marrying an uncivil woman like me.
I lay on the ground and looked up at him. Even though he bent over and looked down at me, he still looked handsome with sharp features.
"Josephine," His voice was cold and he said impatiently, "it's the first morning of our new marriage. If you want to have a better life in this family, you'd better behave in a proper way."
I wouldn't follow the rules. What could he do to me?
I was very stubborn and could be persuaded by reason but not by force.
If he forced me, I would be against him.
I looked at him with a smile, "Do you think I married you to serve you and to live in harmony and amity with your family? Brooke, because of you, I, an innocent young girl, become a surrogate mother now. If you want me to give birth to the baby safely, then don't provoke me. Otherwise, I will kill myself and the baby."
Brooke looked at me in silence for a moment. He was too good and finally suppressed his anger.
He said impatiently to me, "Are you sure you're going to lie here all the time?"
Did he think I was a fool? The carpet was definitely not as comfortable as the bed!
So, I immediately got up and went back to my bedroom and lay on the bed.
Since he played hard ball, I would just refuse to serve tea with him.
Brooke slammed the door behind him.
I deliberately pissed him off!
Zofia squatted beside the bed and looked at me with concern, "I think Brooke is not a man to be trifled with. You acted so recklessly just now. Are not you afraid that you will have a hard time in the future?"
"Do you think I live well now? Just because he is rich, he can do as he pleases and impregnates me for no reason?" I suddenly lost my temper and shouted at Zofia.
Since I saw Zofia, I had not cried. I had been grinning and looked inattentive.
But now, I could not hold back my tears.
I had always been positive. However, I was reduced to a passive position this time and was forced to marry a man and give birth to his child. I had to fawn on his family and face Calvin and Fairy.
But I couldn't give up my baby.
If a person felt ambivalent, it meant that he must be concerned about something.
Zofia stretched out her arms to hold me and wiped my tears with her sleeve.
I knew that she also panicked. Because I seldom cried in front of her.
After graduation, she decided to go back to her city. I sent her to the train. She hugged me and cried terribly. I tried my best to hold back my tears. Until she got on the train and pressed her face against the window glass, tears began to spill out of my eyes.
Although I was strong, I could not fight back tears now.
I went to the bathroom to wash my face after crying for more than ten minutes. Then I applied skin care products, took a deep breath and said to Zofia, "Let's go downstairs for breakfast."
We walked out of the room and get off the elevator. As soon as the elevator door was opened, I saw Calvin and Fairy were half kneeling to serve tea to Master Knight.
Although I did not come from a wealthy family, I also knew that serving tea should be arranged according to the rule of the elderly first.
Younger brother could not serve tea until elder brother finished doing it. Now that Calvin was serving tea, as his elder brother's wife, I thought I did not need to do it.
