Chapter 493 - 493 494 Struggle (8)_1
?Chapter 493: Chapter 494: Struggle (8)_1 Chapter 493: Chapter 494: Struggle (8)_1 Jing Haohao didn’t have much of an appetite, with thoughts of the still unformed, uninvited child in her belly consuming her mind.
Yet, as a woman, she found it strange. She kept thinking she didn’t want this child, yet at dinner, she forced herself to eat loads of nutritious food.
Returning to the bedroom, Liang Chen was not in the room. The window was open, inviting a gentle night breeze and the unique coolness and fragrance from halfway up the hill.
Jing Haohao walked to the balcony, sat in the wicker chair, gazed at the starry sky, and sighed deeply.
…
There was no light in the study room, cloaked in darkness, with the only light coming from the glowing tip of the cigarette held in Liang Chen’s fingers.
He knew very well, Jing Haohao didn’t want his child because she didn’t want more complications between them.
Though they’ve become slightly closer these days, deep down she must still despise him more.
However, this child, it’s something shared between them both.
Since he met Jing Haohao, they’ve never had anything that solely belonged to the two of them.
She has so many things with Shen Liangnian that he could never overcome. Now, finally, they have something Shen Liangnian doesn’t have.
He truly wants this child, but Jing Haohao doesn’t…
Once he had forced her to come back using a photo of their love-making, he told himself then that would be his last foolish act.
Liang Chen took a big puff from his cigarette and kept reminding himself that he needed to stay calm, he shouldn’t get angry if she doesn’t want the baby, nor should he pressure her into carrying the baby.
He cannot shatter with his own hands, the understanding relationship he has painstakingly built.
…
Jing Haohao and Liang Chen, one in the bedroom and the other in the study, with just a wall between them, all had their thoughts scrambled because of the baby.
One was thinking about how to convince the other to give birth to the baby safely.
The other was caught in a struggle of whether to keep the baby or not.
…
The night was getting deeper. Jing Haohao felt not a bit sleepy. She moved from the position she had maintained since she laid down, looked at the round and bright moon outside the window, and blinked her eyes.
This was her first time getting pregnant. She used to imagine what it would be like to be pregnant, but that was before she knew about Shen Liangnian’s infidelity and when Liang Chen hadn’t coerced her. Back then, she foolishly thought that she and Shen Liangnian were deeply and faithfully in love.
At that time, she didn’t even need to question whether she wanted a child, all she had to think about was how to raise her child like the prettiest princess or prince in the world.
Now, her first child was here, not Shen Liangnian’s, neither a product of love, nor entitled to any legitimate status.
She couldn’t help but think that this child should not exist in this world.
Yet, she could disregard the harm of birth control pills on herself, she could abandon Shen Liangnian because of his betrayal, could even face Liang Chen’s coercive cold violence, but she just couldn’t bring herself to be cruel to this innocent life.
Thinking of this, Jing Haohao gently rose from the wicker chair. She felt the need to find Liang Chen and have a good talk with him.
PS: There will be another two chapters coming up. Can you guess what Haohao is going to talk about with Liang Chen?
