He hung up heartlessly. I looked at the hospital report and cried. I was pregnant and was going to surprise him with it. I even bought a ring to propose to him.,
We’d been together for so many years, it didn’t matter who
bought the ring. But… because of the emotional stress, I lost the baby.
Patrick looked at me. “Vallerie, you’ve changed. Don’t you love me anymore? I told you, yesterday I…”
“Sorry, I really forgot. How about this, I’ll go buy some groceries now. We’ll go home, and I’ll cook for you, okay?”
originally planned to confront him today, but considering it was his birthday, I let it go.
Patrick smiled a bit and took my hand to leave.
But when we got home, I was furious because Samuel was there.
“Patrick, happy birthday! I bought your favorite cake.”
Patrick hurriedly explained, “Vallerie, I didn’t invite her. She still had the key I gave her before. I forgot to take it back.”
I smiled. “It’s okay. The house is yours. You can give the key to whoever you want.”
Patrick was speechless.
“Vallerie, are you mad?” Samuel looked at me smugly.
“If you’re blind, go see an eye doctor. I definitely look younger
than you.”

Samuel was stunned. “Patrick…”
“Vallerie is right. You are older than her.”
Samuel didn’t expect Patrick to not side with her and pouted.

She quickly adjusted herself. “Patrick said you cook well. How about you cook for us?”
“If you’re not afraid of getting an upset stomach, you can eat,” I said, heading to the kitchen with the groceries.
Patrick tried to help, but Samuel clung to him.
“Patrick, my gift for you.” Samuel took out a gift box–a belt.
“No need. Vallerie already bought one for me,” Patrick declined.
Samuel’s face turned ashen. I didn’t expect Patrick to refuse her.
The two of them stayed silent.
But Samuel wouldn’t give up easily. During dinner, she insisted on sitting next to Patrick.
Patrick had no choice but to sit next to her. Samuel moved closer
to him.
“Patrick, does it matter? It’s just a seat. Sitting with Samuel is no big deal.”
Patrick had no choice but to sit with Samuel. Samuel put peeled shrimp in Patrick’s bowl. “Vallerie, next time, don’t buy frozen shrimp. Patrick doesn’t like them. Buy fresh ones.”
“Sure, next time he wants shrimp, go to the sea and catch them yourself.”
“Patrick…”
“Shut up. Eat if you want to,” Patrick snapped.
Samuel was shocked. Patrick had never raised his voice at her before. Today, he yelled at her.
“What’s wrong? Did I say anything wrong? Vallerie made this for me. Eat if you want to, or leave.”
“Patrick, what did you say?”

“I said leave. And leave the key before you go.”
“Patrick, you’ll regret this.” Samuel cried and ran out.
“Not going after her?” I continued eating shrimp, finding them delicious.
