The Truth Behind My Divorce After Six Childfree Years

While waiting in line for a hospital checkup, I ran into Michael Shaw, who was accompanying his wife for a prenatal visit.

After a long silence, he greeted me gently,

"Nicole Young, you've thought it through now. A woman needs a child—someone to rely on."

I gave a faint smile and handed him the pregnancy test results.

He narrowed his eyes, his expression darkening gradually.

"Nicole, you... you didn’t want to be childless?"

I curled my lips into a smile but stayed silent.
