Chapter 4 — 5th Wedding Anniversary

I still remember one afternoon, Luc Tam and I went for a walk in the apartment complex. Unexpectedly, there was a couple arguing upstairs, and a flower pot was pushed down from the balcony. I was still in a daze, Luc Tam didn't think and hugged me tightly. As a result, his shoulder was broken by a flower pot, and he had to recover for several months. The doctor said, luckily it was just the shoulder, a little misaligned and I almost hit my head. Luc Tam looked even more scared than me. He hugged me tightly and said: "Wife, fortunately the injured person was not you." The girl lying in the bed next to me looked at me with admiration: "You are so happy, you have a husband who is both handsome and loves you." Luc Tam stood next to him proudly: "That's right, no one loves Tham Tu Thu more than me." He said it with such certainty. But at that time, he had already slept with Diep Tri Ha. I can't distinguish whether Luc Tam's love for me is real or fake. At least now, I don't want to differentiate anymore. I didn't want to argue with my parents anymore, intending to tell them that I was pregnant and had a miscarriage, and that Luc Tam and I could never be together again. The doorbell suddenly rang. Luc Tam stood outside the door, holding a bouquet of bright red roses. "Wife, don't be angry anymore." "Come home with me, okay?" 8 Luc Tam bowed his head and looked at me intently. "Tu Thu, my friend saw you go to the obstetrics department, are you pregnant? Why didn't you tell me right away?" I shook my head, thought for a moment, then took the pregnancy test paper and gave it to him: "At first I was going to tell you, but then I didn't think it was necessary anymore." Luc Tam's face became stiff for a moment, but right after that, a smile could not be hidden on his lips, he stared at the pregnancy test paper. "Tu Thu, we are about to have a baby, I am so happy!" He raised his head, perhaps seeing my cold eyes, then stopped for a moment: "I have made arrangements for Tri Ha, everything before was my fault, but besides the thing with her, I have never lied to you. Love. You are real, I want to live with you for the rest of my life, Tu Thu, this child is a gift from heaven to us, right? I know you are angry, but for the sake of the child, can you give me one more chance? Luc Tam explains a lot. He said at first, they actually met each other abroad by chance. Diep Tri Ha was alone with no one to take care of her, so gradually they reconnected. Over the years, Diep Tri Ha's parents have always had high expectations for her and were very demanding. In the eyes of outsiders, she was a perfect goddess, but after going abroad, she suffered from depression. "I don't think that accompanying her for an interview is more important than our wedding anniversary. It's just that recently her mental condition has been very bad, always locking herself in the house. It was very difficult for her to try a new job, to get her life back on track... Tu Thu, you're a good person, you can understand me, right?" Luc Tam said with sincerity: "I admit I was wrong. When I first pursued you, I really wanted to find the image of Tri Ha in you, including that wedding dress... it was my fault, Tu Thu, I'm sorry. But after marrying you, I discovered that you are such a good girl, I fell in love with you. I really have no intention of anything with Tri Ha. All the words I said later on WeChat, I just didn't want to provoke emotions." hers.” Luc Tam talked a lot, but I just kept quiet. Maybe because he saw that I wasn't angry or arguing with him, Luc Tam thought I was convinced, his eyes filled with joy: "Tu Thu, I won't see Tri Ha again. When the baby is born, we will live happily together. I suddenly spoke up: "Do you sleep with her because you don't want to provoke her?" Luc Tam choked up a bit, but still slowly.

said: "That night, she said that after breaking up, she still couldn't forget you, and wanted to wear a wedding dress to fulfill her dream. You didn't intend for anything to happen to her. It was just that when you drank a little alcohol at that time, you..." I took the pregnancy test paper back from his hand, in front of him, and tore it into pieces. I said: "Luc Tam, you also lied to me. In fact, I don't have any more children." Luc Tam's expression was blank for a second. I pulled Luc Tam's hand, placed it on my belly, and said word by word: "I had an abortion." 9 "I don't want my child to have an adulterous father. Luc Tam, your child, you killed him." "Tu Thu, how could you arbitrarily have an abortion?! Why are you so cruel?!" "You really, really make your parents angry!" When they heard Luc Tam admit to having an affair, they didn't blame him. But when she heard I had an abortion, my mother wiped her tears and blamed me, as if I had done something terrible. Luc Tam looked at the white pieces of paper scattered everywhere and was silent for a long time. Blue veins appeared on his forehead, as if in great pain. I thought he would be angry like his parents and would question me. But he pointed to his bloodshot eyes, his voice as hoarse as a rusty wheel, word by word pressed out: "It's okay Tu Thu, it's all my fault, as long as you forgive me, we... we will have children again..."
