No More Mrs. Forgotten novel Chapter 10

When they first got married, York refused to sleep in the same bed as her. It was her relentless persistence, tucking away every ounce of her temper and pride, that changed things.

She smoothed down her own sharp edges, molding herself into someone completely gentle and endlessly compliant. Slowly, bit by bit, she managed to soften his attitude toward her.

Eventually, after a business dinner where York had drank far too much, she took care of him, and they ended up sleeping together.

After that night, York seemed to adopt a 'what's done is done' mentality, and they actually began having a sex life.

It wasn't frequent, but it happened. Sometimes she initiated it; other times... he seemed to want it himself.

Adele had once summed it up perfectly: "To a man, having sex with you and loving you are two completely unrelated events. They're just taking their clothes off—it doesn't mean they're actually looking at the stars with you."

York always insisted she take birth control. He was bluntly clear that he did not want a child. Sharon herself felt that their relationship was still too fragile, so she hadn't planned on getting pregnant either.

Last time... was a complete accident.

Libby had pulled her aside, practically begging for a grandchild, and her heartfelt pleas had worn Sharon down. So... she hesitated, debated with herself, and ultimately skipped the pill.

She convinced herself that one time wouldn't hurt. Who knew she would actually end up pregnant from that single slip-up...

Sharon sat rigidly in the car, saying nothing, making no move to get out. She was frozen like a statue.

Seeing her like this, York didn't move either.

The air in the car felt completely paralyzed.

Sharon felt like the blood in her veins had turned to ice. She should have known perfectly well that York didn't want a baby—especially not a baby with her...

The agony tearing at her heart was indescribable. Her heart ached fiercely for the tiny life inside her. It was barely the size of a grain of rice, yet its own father already despised it...
