Chapter 76


    Carlos ‘ mood was up all the way home . _ _ _ _ _ “ Now that you ‘re pregnant , you


    should quit your job , honey . Just stay at home . I will work hard for you and the boy .”


    “ I ca n’t ” , I replied .


    “ Why not ? _ Are you worried that I ca n’t support you two ? ”


    “ Of course not . I know you are a capable man . _ ” I gloried


    him . “ But I signed a contract with mypany . _ There ‘s a breach of contract use when we sign it


    , as they ‘re worried I might _jump ship or resign . _ _ If I don’t work until the end of the contract , I


    have to pay a huge amount of money aspensation . ”


    I mentioned thepensation just to see if he would


    back off , but to my surprise , he did n’t care . “ Do n’t worry , I ‘m here . I


    will resolve the im issue for you .  ”


    He didn’t look like he was lying , so I


    sighed softly . If I could choose again , I would n’t have chosen to marry someone without careful consi


    deration , let alone a man like him . _ _ I was by your side in


    the best years of my life. I gave him all my love , but what I got in return was coldness , lies and betraya


    l .  _ _


    I was relieved I was n’t pregnant when I found out


    about her cheating . In a way , I had dope to thank . If it were n’t for her , I could have


    gotten pregnant . If that had happened , I would not have walked out of

    this rtionship . so easily .I would have tried to save this marriage for the


    child , even if it meant I had to degrade myself . Now ? I was grateful to have my dignity and grateful to


    still be myself . _ I’m going to make you pay for what you did to me , Carlos .


    Carlos took me to the bedroom and asked me to sleep after arriving home . _ _ I was n’t in the


    mood for it , but I went along with it .


    He snuggled me gently . “ What do you want for dinner , honey ? _ I will cook ”.


    “ It ‘s okay , honey . Let Victoria do it , ” I  replied .


    “ Of


    course . She ‘s a better cook than I am anyway . _ Tell me what you want , and I ‘ll send you out for so


    me grocery shopping . _ _ _ ”


    “ I do n’t feel like eating anything but sour stuff , ” I replied . As Joana was pregnant with a boy , I wante


    d Carlos to think that I was too . _ Rumor had it that women pregnant with boys loved sour things ,while


    girls loved spicy food . _ _ I chose the first one to fit your experience . That would make


    it easier for him to take this the wrong way .


    Sure enough , he smiled the moment I said it . _ _ ” I bet you ‘re pregnant with a boy , honey ” .


    “ And how do you know that ? ”


    “ The elderly in my city determine the sex of the child based on the mother ‘s diet . Most mothers- to –


    be pregnant with boys loved sour food . ”


    “ This is unscientific . _ You ca n’t trust that . ” I shook my head .


    “ It’s not , but most of the time it ‘s urate . Yeah , Joana prefers sour food since she got


    pregnant too , and it is


    boy . ”


    Carlos even used Joana as an example to convince me , but without knowing it , he let crucial informati


    on slip . If he and Joana were just normal friends , why would he care so much about her diet ? _ “ She


    likes sour things _too ? Why did n’t I know this ? ” I asked .
