Time Machine Divorce Him Now novel Chapter 24

Chapter24

I’d been having a funny feeling in my belly recently.

The other day. I went to the hospital for a physical. Unexpectedly, I ran into Antonio and Amber. I registered again and had the examination.

When I got the result, I laughed so much that I teared up.

For the past five years. Antonio and I had been trying to have a baby. We never succeeded. Now, we were about to separate, and I found out I was pregnant. The time wasn’t right..

Holding the report, I wandered in the hospital absent–mindedly, at a loss. for what to do with the baby.

I should have an abortion, but I didn’t have the heart to do it. It was harder than leaving Antonio.

Then, I looked up and saw Antonio with Amber, who had just had a prenatal checkup. These days, neither he nor I mentioned Amber.

He mistook my silence for acquiescence.

“Mr. Kaufman, our baby is very healthy. I’m happy about it.”

Antonio’s voice betrayed no emotion. But when he raised his eyebrows, I knew he was in a good mood. “Hmm. You’ve taken good care of it.”

They talked about the baby. Neither of them noticed I had stopped in front of them. Antonio let go of Amber’s hand and kept her at arm’s length when he saw me.

After a moment of silence, I spoke first.

“Small world. I’ll leave you be. Bye.”

Antonio took my hand in a fluster. He wouldn’t let me go. “Grace, let me explain.”

I broke free from him calmly, not mad at all.

“I’m not angry. The baby is your responsibility. I understand.”

As soon as I finished speaking, Amber’s eyes sparkled.

“Mrs. Kaufman, you’ll really let me keep this baby?”

We fell out last time. I wouldn’t be nice to her this time.

“Miss Potter, you’ll be due in a few days. Can I stop you?”
