Chapter 3 — 5th Wedding Anniversary

5Memories returned, at this time in the wedding dress shop, Luc Tam was a little panicked. He quickly wiped the tears from my face. I didn't want this, but at this moment, tears still fell uncontrollably. "Luc Tam, why did you lie to me and say you were going on a business trip, then went with Diep Tri Ha, and when you returned home you calmly brought me a gift? Did Diep Tri Ha wearing that wedding dress make you feel more excited? After being with her, you had to fly back right away to celebrate my birthday, Luc Tam, don't you feel tired?" The one who questioned was me, but the one who cried was also me. My heart felt like it was being torn apart, the wind blew and it hurt. Luc Tam was speechless, just repeating over and over, his voice hoarse: "Tu Thu, I won't sign, things are not as you think, calm down..." "So you want to let the lover of your dreams continue to be the third person?" I smiled painfully: "I clearly can't forget her, but I don't want to divorce you, Luc Tam, people can't have everything they want." Luc Tam looked at me like a child who didn't understand, with a disapproving look on his face: "She's my cousin, I can't let her be embarrassed in front of everyone like that." Indeed, the staff and guests around had begun to whisper. Diep Tri Ha no longer looked elegant and calm from before, her face gradually turned pale. He grabbed my wrist tightly: "Don't let others laugh at you, come home with me, I will slowly explain to you." "Let go!" "A Tam..." My voice and Diep Tri Ha's rang out at the same time. I turned around and saw Diep Tri Ha clutching her stomach, her face pale as paper, starting to sweat: "A Tam, I don't feel well, can you take me to the hospital..." Maybe the pain can be contagious. Looking at Diep Tri Ha like that, my stomach also started to have a dull ache. It was like the little creature in my belly had sensed the decision I had just made in my heart, trying to ask for help in its own way. I took a deep breath: "Luc Tam, if you really want to continue this marriage, completely break it off with her." Luc Tam seems to be struggling with his thoughts. But in the end, he still slowly let go of my hand. "Tu Thu, my sister has not been in good health for the past few years abroad. Now because of your excitement, my stomach disease has relapsed. I can't ignore it. Be good, don't make trouble anymore, can you go home first?" He looked at me, but his mind was completely devoted to Diep Tri Ha. Even though he knew clearly that between me and Diep Tri Ha, he would never steadfastly choose me. At this moment, all hesitation, hesitation, and anxiety seemed to leave me. I heard my voice clearly: "Okay." "Luc Tam, I just hope that when you realize what you've lost today, you won't regret it." Luc Tam stopped supporting Diep Tri Ha and didn't turn around: "Tu Thu, you're not someone who's easily threatened." 6 I went to the hospital alone. The surgical light comes on, then goes off. From the moment he existed until the moment he left, his father never knew of his existence. Luc Tam used to look forward to having a child with me, hugging me and dreaming about a happy family of three countless times. I always thought, if I had a child, I would give him all my unconditional love. Let it grow up in happiness. But I loved the wrong person. Luc Tam is not a good husband, so how can he be a good father? When I returned to my mother's house with a pale face, my mother was startled. "Why did you become like this?" Dad's face turned black: "Why do you suddenly want a divorce? Did Luc do something wrong to you? Let me go beat him!" Mom brought the hot tea, the warmth spread from the rim of the cup, warming my cold fingers. As soon as I opened my mouth, I couldn't help but choked up. Just as I was about to express all the pain in my heart, I heard my mother

said: "Tu Thu, Luc Tam's company is about to go public. You have worked hard for many years to create this result, do you really want to hand it all over to someone else?" I was stunned. Mom continued: "We already know about him and Tri Ha, but that's the past. As a man, whatever you can't have, even your dick still smells good. Soon he will understand that the person he loves the most is you." I looked at the two of them for a long time, then said: "So even though you are very miserable and sad, we still think you should not divorce, right?" Dad looked at me like he was looking at a child who didn't understand, breathing. long: "Tu Thu, listen to me, no matter how attached a man is to his first love, over a long period of time he will realize the importance of family. Tieu Luc's conditions are so good, do you think if you divorce, you can find someone better? Don't do foolish things because of a moment of anger." Every word, every word, is full of analysis of advantages and disadvantages, but there is no pity for his daughter. Mom continued to nag: "She doesn't know how to seize opportunities, doesn't know how to hold on to potential stocks. It was very difficult for you to win Tri Ha once in marriage, it was very difficult for Mom and Dad to be able to show off, do you want to lose to her?" From childhood to adulthood, I have always been the subject of comparison with Diep Tri Ha. My parents were secretly competitive, but on the outside they always belittled me to please my uncle and aunt in Beijing. "If Tu Thu had a part like Tri Ha, we would thank heaven and earth!" "If Tri Ha were our daughter, we wouldn't have needed to give birth to Tu Thu." Sometimes, people are most afraid of not oppression, but the oppression coming from their own dearest family. Over time, self-esteem grew like wild weeds in the corner of the wall, suffocating me and making me unable to breathe. I held my stomach and quietly looked at them: "For mom and dad, is my existence just a tool to compare with Diep Tri Ha?" Dad rolled his eyes: "What kind of conversation are you having with your parents? Are we not doing it for your own good?" I closed my eyes, suppressing the disappointment that had accumulated in my heart for who knows how long. At first, I didn't hate Luc Tam that much. But that person was Diep Tri Ha. He pretended to be determined to choose me, then tore my cover, causing me pain until I bled. 7 That day, I really thought Luc Tam was at a meeting at the company. It was Diep Tri Ha who added me on WeChat, proactively saying that she had returned home and that Luc Tam was with her. Before I really decide, I don't want to make others curious or gossip because of some actions. Therefore, at that time my personal page's background photo was still the wedding photo of me and Luc Tam. Diep Tri Ha liked the photo, then said: "Tu Thu, even though I've loved wearing your old clothes since I was little, why would I pick up clothes you don't need to wear in your wedding dress?" When I received this message, I was looking at the pregnancy report, wondering if I should wait for Luc Tam to come home from part-time work and tell him. The appearance of this little creature made me hesitate, should I give Luc Tam another chance for my child? Even though he betrayed me, at least on the outside, he still looked like a perfect husband, loving me to death.
