Chapter 4
Di
When I got home, I took out all the things Leroy had given me over the years and threw them into the fire pit.
Just as I took out the marriage certificate, my WhatsApp rang, and I opened it to take a glance.
“Bryanna, I just mentioned feeling nauseous, and Leroy immediately got nervous and brought in the most skilled obstetrician and gynecologist from all over the country for me.”
“Even if he was not in the local area, he spared no expense in using a helicopter to pick up the person. Are you envious?”
I ignored her and watched as the marriage certificate was engulfed by flames, turning into ashes.
I wasn’t worried at all that Leroy would see.
Because I knew that he wouldn’t come back tonight.
Sure enough, Leroy called, “Bryanna, Fiona went into labor, Jeffrey is not home, as her uncle, I have to help take care of Fiona, please don’t be angry.”
Thinking about the WhatsApp photo Fiona sent just now, she was eating the fruit that Leroy had personally cut for her with a healthy complexion, without any signs of discomfort.
“Well, understood. The pregnant woman is the priority, so take good care of her.”
Leroy paused and said gently, “Bryanna, today I didn’t mean to be mean to you. I know you’re not in. a good mood because we lost the baby.”
“But Fiona was pregnant after all, she carried the bloodline of the Martinez family. You and I can no longer continue the family’s lineage. If anything were to happen to Fiona, I fear our parents
wouldn’t be able to bear it.”
I found it ridiculous. Why did he need to come up with so many excuses?
“You stayed obediently at home. Tomorrow is your birthday, and I booked the best hotel for you. I also prepared a surprise for you. I will come back to pick you up tomorrow morning.”
Until the next day at noon, Leroy
till hadn’t returned.
I put the signed divorce agreement on the table and set a timed email to send a copy of the recording
to Leroy.
Having done all this, I carried my luggage and went to the airport.
Just as Leroy arrived at the airport, he received another phone call.
th
“Sorry Bryanna, a few partners suddenly came to the company to discuss the clothing collaboration for the next quarter, and I couldn’t leave.”
“I had my secretary pick you up at the hotel. Weren’t you always wanting me to design a dress for you? I have already designed one for you, and when you put it on later, you will definitely look
great.”
“Um, okay.”
Thung up the phone, and my gaze fell upon the two girls beside me..
They were gathered around the phone, looking at photos and saying enviously, “Oh my God, I can’t believe Mr. Martinez is so handsome and his maternity clothes designs are so beautiful. I feel like getting pregnant myself.”
“Do you think you can just buy it when you’re pregnant? All the clothes at today’s fashion show were specially designed by Mr. Martinez for his pregnant wife. Each piece is unique and made with the most expensive fabrics. There must be hundreds of them, I’m afraid the child won’t be able to wear them all even after they are born. I’m so envious.”
“I heard that Mr. Martinez was afraid of his wife’s nagging, so this exhibition is not open to the public. Your boyfriend is impressive, being able to work as a supervisor at the Martinez Group and take internal photos for us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to enjoy the perks.”
In the scene, Fiona was linking arms with Leroy, strolling through the specially designed gowns her, laughing loudly and carefree.
The Martinez Group was in the clothing industry, and Leroy’s design talent was exceptional.
I used to act coquettishly towards him too, hoping that he would design a dress for me.
He always said he was busy and couldn’t get away.
But he designed hundreds for Fiona.
for
Remembering his boastful tone when he said he had designed a dress for me as a surprise, I found it
ironic.
The boarding time had arrived, so I turned off my phone and boarded the flight to a foreign country. After Leroy accompanied Fiona to choose clothes, they went to the hotel for the birthday party.
He thought about Bryanna appearing in that dress, she must have looked as beautiful as an angel.
But he didn’t wait for Bryanna, only to be greeted by a flustered secretary. “Mr. Martinez, something’s wrong, the lady is missing!”
