Chapter 1

Halfway through sex, my wife Cindy suddenly pulled away and grabbed a condom, telling me to put it on.

I was stunned. In our three years of marriage, we'd never used protection—we were trying for a baby.

She kissed my forehead, her voice gentle.

"You've been working overtime every day lately. You're exhausted. If I got pregnant now, you wouldn't have time to take care of me. Let's wait a bit longer."

I was so moved my eyes turned red.

After I finished showering and came out, I heard her on the balcony talking to her assistant on the phone.

"Schedule the baby's One-Month Celebration at the SKY Hotel. Security must be tight."

The assistant sounded worried. "What if your husband finds out..."

"He won't find out." Cindy's voice was cold.

"Now that I have a son with Antoine, I don't need him anymore.

Pick out a few top-spec Richard Milles to give him. Consider it compensation."

Cold wind poured in from the balcony, freezing me to the bone.

Actually, not having kids isn't so bad after all.
