Chapter 9 — Pregnant for 280 Days, I Used a Notebook to Reclaim My Whole Life

“At this point, you're still comforting me.”

I smiled. But my throat was tight. When leaving the cafe. It was dark. Duong Thanh insisted on taking me downstairs. Before I got off the bus. She stuffed a bag of hot dumplings into my hand.

“Don't care if Co Thua Ze eats or not.”

“You have to eat your fill first.”

I nodded. When the elevator goes up. I saw myself in the mirror. His face still doesn't look good. But eyes. Much tougher than before. The lights in the house are still on. Co Thua Trach sat on the sofa. The unopened bird's nest box is still placed on the tea table. Heard the sound of the door opening. He raised his head to look at me.

“Where are you going?”

I change shoes.

“Go to the hospital.”

“Then eat something.”

He stared at me.

“Eat with whom?”

“Duong Thanh.”

He immediately frowned.

“In the future, stop interacting with her.”

I put my bag down. Co Thua Trach's voice turned cold.

“She will turn you astray.”

I walked to the dining table. Pick up a glass of water.

“How deviant?”

“Are you telling me to go for a prenatal check-up on schedule?”

“Or tell me not to let my child go hungry?”

His face showed anger.

“Giang Tri Dao.”

“Don't make every sentence smell like gunpowder.”

I took a sip of water.

“So what do you want to hear?”

Co Thua Trach stood up from the sofa.

“I want you to calm down a bit.”

The light in the living room was blindingly white. I looked at him. Suddenly I felt light-hearted. What he needs. Never been a wife. It's just that... A pregnant woman doesn't ask for money. Don't know how to feel sorry for yourself. Don't know how to resist either. I asked softly:

“Co Cheng Ze.”

“When are you going to give me an explanation?”

His eyes. Suddenly completely changed.

“Who said anything to you?”

I gently stroked the rim of the cup. Slowly smile. He didn't answer. But the expression on the face. Already admitted more than half of it for him. Co Thua Trach did not ask any more questions. He stood in the middle of the living room. Look at me for a long time. It's like I'm guessing... How much do I know? I didn't give him the answer. Just say softly:

“I'm tired, go to sleep first.”

He raised his hand to stop me.

“Giang Tri Dao.”

I stopped walking.

“Are you going to see a lawyer today?”

I turned around. The tone remained calm.

“I care so much about who you meet today.”

"Let's just pay attention to the results of today's pregnancy test."

He was silenced by me. For a moment, I couldn't say anything. A few seconds later. He raised his hand.

“Show me the report.”

I took the report out of my pocket. Give it to him. He turned over very quickly. Obviously not able to read or understand.

“What does it mean that the fetus is a little small?”

“The doctor said to increase nutrition and get enough rest.”

He placed the report back on the table.

“Then you should eat more.”

I looked at him.

“Where does the money come from?”

Co Thua Trach's face darkened again.

“Are you determined to choose this time to talk about money?”

I ask in return:

“You are smaller than standard.”

“If we don't say it now, when will we wait?”

He angrily paced back and forth in the living room twice. Finally picked up the phone.

“I'll pass it on to you.”

A few seconds later. My phone vibrated. 5,000 yuan was transferred. The notes section is: Living expenses. I looked at that text. There was not a single bit of joy in my heart. Co Thua Trach sat down on the sofa.

“Now satisfied Not yet?"

I saved the screenshot.

“Just write it down first.”

He stared at my movements.

“When are you going to record?”

“Record the date when payment needs to be completed.”

His eyes turned cold.

“Are you determined to make a big deal of it?”

I sat down on the dining chair. Slowly take out the dumpling.

“I was just protecting myself.”

Co Thua Trach smiled coldly.

“The way I see it, you've been brainwashed by someone else.”

I broke the dumpling. Heat immediately emitted.

“A pregnant woman asked for money for prenatal care.”

“It's called being brainwashed.”

“So a man transfers 20,000 yuan to another woman.”

“What do you call it?”

His expression immediately changed. The living room fell completely silent. Co Thua Trach's throat moved slightly.

“Who told you?”

I looked at him. No reply. He stood up. The voice was deep and heavy.

“Giang Tri Dao.”

“You investigate my money transfers?”

“I don't have that ability.”

“So how do you know?”

I took a bite of the dumpling. Try to swallow.

“I answer you first.”

“Is that a thing or not?”

Co Thua Trach was silent. That moment. I no longer needed answers. I still want him to say it himself. He turned away.

“It's work money.”

“The person's last name is Sam.”

“Is it also work?”

He immediately turned to look at me. Panic in the eyes. In the end, I couldn't hide it. I said softly:

“Co Cheng Ze.”

“You don't need to rush to make up stories.”

His face turned pale.

“She found you?”

I don't answer directly.

“It seems…”

“I know who it is.”

Co Thua Trach heavily placed the phone on the coffee table.

“She's just a partner.”

“Recently my mood has been unstable.”

I laughed.

“Partner...”

“Do you also need me to take a note not to cause trouble?”

He was speechless when I asked him. Atmosphere. Tight like a rope. At any time it can break. Co Thua Trach calmed down.

“I'm pregnant.”

“I don't want to argue with you.”

I looked at him.

“I don't want to argue either.”

“So this stops here.”

“What about money?”

His eyelids twitched.

“Common property during marriage.”

“I transferred it to another woman.”

“How are you going to handle it?”

Co Thua Trach seemed to have just heard something extremely jarring.

“Don't say such harsh words.”

I calmly replied:

“Then I'll teach you how to watch.”

“How should I say it to be easy to hear?”

He tried to suppress his anger.

“I will handle it.”

“I told you.”

“I will handle it.”

It's that saying again.
