The next morning, I got up and packed my things.
I found a dress that wasn’t too afraid of folds. After that, except for a few regular clothes and two sets of
swimwear in my luggage, it was all cosmetics.
I hoped I can be as pretty as possible that day.
When I packed my things, I cooked myself a bowl of noodles.
I was going to put on some perfume, and when I just opened the lid.
I can not help feeling sick!
I rushed to the bathroom right away.
But I didn’t spit out anything.
I was familiar with the feeling!
I took out the mobile phone to calculate the date. It’s been over half a month since my menstrual period
should come. And I have been busy submitting my resume recently.
It was a real accident.
When I was going to Sean’s wedding, I was pregnant.
My third child with Sean.
I forced myself to eat the noodles.
As soon as I sat down to rest, Ming came and asked me, “Can we go?”
“Yes.” I tried to cheer up.
Ming drove. When the car left the neighborhood and passed the pharmacy, I hesitated and shouted,
“Can you stop the car? I'll buy some medicine.”
He stopped so I went to the drugstore and bought a pregnancy test.
I secretly put it in my bag.
When we got to the airport, all the luggage was checked. Ming and I were walking between duty free
shops.
At this time, all brands were offering limited editions for Valentine’s Day, and women seemed to have
no resistance to limited edition products.
After visiting the store for a long time and thinking about my wallet, I ended up choosing only one
limited-edition eyeshadow.
It was red.
I had very few eyeshadow in this color.
It was a challenge to me.
Ming handed the card to the clerk when I checked out.
I quickly stopped Ming and said to the clerk, “Please pay with my credit card.”
As I was talking, I wanted to take my wallet from the bag. When I was in a hurry, the wallet was taken
out, and the pregnancy test stick on the top fell out.
Seeing the pregnancy test stick, Ming froze. Then he pushed my wallet back with a gentle smile, “How
can you still pay when you come out with me? Do you want the salesperson to look down on me?”
“...”
At this point, I did not argue with him, and quickly bent over to put the pregnancy test stick back in the
bag.
My face was flushed unknowingly.
When the bill was over, Ming and I went to the first class lounge and waited for the waiter to bring us
two cups of tea. Ming took a sip of tea before asking me, “Is this child Sean? How long have you been
pregnant?”
“Two months.” I held the teacup and looked at Ming. “Please do not tell Sean about it. It is my own
child. It has nothing to do with him.”
Ming looked at me in silence at first.
Then he sighed and said, “Do not you think you are being selfish?”
“Selfish?”
“Some of the patients in our hospital are single mothers. Although mothers are sometimes omnipotent,
an imperfect family is also unfair to children.”
Was that so?
I could not help hesitating because of Ming’s words.
But Sean was getting married. I can’t ask him responsible for the baby.
That must have hurt Cindy, too.
And Sean was not necessarily responsible. Maybe he just gave money.
If it was a son, he would have taken him away.
I was confused, and then I figured out what Ming meant, and I said, “Don’t you want me to have an
abortion? I will never kill him!”
Ming was stunned by what I said.
He paused and smiled. “How can I mean that? Every child has the right to be in the world. As long as
he is a healthy child, adults have no right to deprive their lives.”
I was much relieved to hear him say so.
I didn’t say anything, and Ming went on, “I just think that in your future life with your kid there should be
someone who will play the role of father.”
I squinted at him because of his words.
I understand a bit, and I didn’t seem to understand it clearly.
Ming smiled. “I may never get married in my life. I can take care of you as an elder until you find
someone else.”
“I am not a child. I do not need care.”
I smiled and said.
I didn’t know why, when I heard Ming say this, my heart was a little warm.
“In my opinion, you are a child.”
“But...” I thought, “Ming, you are still young. If you meet someone you like someday, your thinking will
be different, and I will take good care of me and my children in the future.”
After all, I can not be so selfish.
Ming was still in his thirties, and his life was full of surprises, wasn’t it?
Ming and I got off the plane.
On the yacht again.
When we get to the island, it was still afternoon.
Last time the island was cold, but this time it was completely changed.
From where we got off the island, there were pink and white balloons everywhere.
And roses.
Service men in suits were everywhere.
We went to the island. After the waiter came to check the invitation, we were arranged for a villa near
the beach.
When we arrived, the waiter put down our luggage and decided to leave, but I asked him, “Hello,
whose room is this?”
The waiter looked at me and Ming again, and suddenly realized, “Sorry, I thought you were together,
please come with me.”
The waiter took me to the next room.
Apparently, there were not many guests this time.
I sat in my room for a little while, and I heard someone outside shouting, “Hello?”
The voice was just soft, and I had only heard one person speak like that, and suddenly I knew who he
was.
Sure enough, when I got up and walked to the door, I saw Jessie standing there.
He was wearing loose, colorful skirts with sun protection clothing and a large cosmetic case in his
hand.
He saw me and walked in. “Miss Carter, hello, Mr. Jessop said I’ll be responsible for your makeup
these days.”
“Are you here to make up for me?”
I froze.
“Yeah, I can come to his wedding thanks to you.” Jessie put down the makeup case in his hand, looked
at the beach behind him, and said happily, “This is the first time I have been on a private island. It’s
great!”
“...”
I looked at Jessie, and my mood was complicated.
What did Sean mean? Is he afraid that I will be ashamed of him as his ex-girlfriend, or ...
At this point, Jessie had come to me and laid out his makeup tools on the coffee table. He took things
out and said, “I will apply makeup to you every morning in the future and I will remove it for you in the
evening, but you can choose to remove it yourself. This is very simple. I will give you a small shovel
and you will remove the skin wax.”
Jessie said as he took out a small stick like a sculpture and set it aside.
“Then I'll remove my makeup at night.”
As I said, I sat on the couch and asked Jessie to make up for me.
To be honest, his makeup skills were really great. Whatever the purpose of Sean, I was glad he can
call Jessie.
