[✓]The Widow "Misses" Her Villainous Late Husband

133

Yu Duo’s mind was completely thrown into a state of confusion by this situation.

After she had come back from the hospital earlier she had spent the whole day psychologically preparing herself for a showdown in which she would demand a divorce from Fu Sinian tonight. Also, she had fully expected that Fu Sinian would be furious when she seriously brought up the topic of divorce, so what exactly had gone wrong? Just what strange thing had stimulated Fu Sinian tonight? To the point that he was even saying such romantic words to her?

“I know I’ve disappointed you before now, but I want you to know that you have my promise that I won’t let you down anymore in the future. Also, I hope that you can be more honest with me in the future as well.”

Fu Sinian’s steady black eyes, which she normally felt looked at her as if seeing through her, were locked on her own, seemingly desperate for an answer.

Yu Duo’s mind waffled back and forth for a while before she finally said, “I’ll think about it...”

“Alright.” Fu Sinian said.

The night deepened.

The whole villa had long been plunged into darkness and silence, and Fu Sinian’s study was no exception. However, suddenly, the door of the study quietly opened a crack.

A beam of light shone into the study from where the door was cracked, and the outline of a person sitting alone in the dark behind the desk slowly came into view.

Then Yu Duo’s face appeared in that crack of light, she fidgeted a bit and then said, “Well, for now... let’s set the divorce aside.”

Fu Sinian, who had been sitting silently behind his desk in the darkness for a long while now, gave a low ‘Hmm’ of acknowledgment.

With that, Yu Dou gently re-closed the door of the study and breathed a quiet sigh of relief, still wearing a complicated and uneasy expression. At the same time, Fu Sinian, in the darkness of his study, slowly leaned back and loosened the deathgrip he had been holding on the armrest of his chair, revealing a hand that was still damp with sweat.

The divorce crisis was over for now.

—————

Yu Duo knew that she wouldn’t be able to hide her pregnancy for long.

After all, the director of the hospital she went to for a checkup yesterday had some friendship with her father, Yu Guohui. So the director would definitely mention the matter of her pregnancy to him at some point.

And, sure enough, Yu Guohui came to the Fu residence with Mrs. Yu the very next day.

This was actually the first time that Yu Guohui and Mrs. Yu had come over ever since Fu Sinian had come back from his disappearance. Of course, because of their shared business interests, Yu Guohui and Fu Sinian had met and chatted a few times since the latter’s return, but Mrs. Yu hadn’t seen him at all. After all, Mrs. Yu never liked Fu Sinian very much because, whenever she saw him, she would always be reminded of the reason why Yu Duo had had no choice but to marry him back then. Unfortunately, because of Fu Sinian’s power in the business world, she had no choice but to tolerate him and give him some face. So her policy had always been to avoid him as much as she could, so she would worry a little less.

But this time was different. A certain rumor had reached her ears, that being: Yu Duo was pregnant.

When they heard that, Mrs. Yu and Yu Guohui immediately went over to the Fu residence.

Mrs. Yu saw at a glance that Yu Duo’s belly didn’t look to be three months pregnant, so she quietly asked Yu Duo, “How many months has it been?”

“Three months.”

“Don’t lie to your mother. Isn’t your belly too small for three months.” Mrs. Yu sent a surreptitious glance over at Fu Sinian and Yu Guohui, who were busy drinking tea and discussing business, and then continued in a low voice, “Tell your mother the truth now, does that child really belong to Fu Sinian?”

“En, it’s his child.”

“Yu Duo, you have to be honest with your mother now, okay? Actually, the hospital director has some friendship with your father and, when the time comes, he can probably...”

“Mom!” Yu Duo grabbed her mother’s hand and whispered seriously, “The child is really Fu Sinian’s, and I’m really three months pregnant, so don’t worry. Although it’s true that my belly doesn’t look three month along, the hospital examination has already confirmed that it’s three months.”

Mrs. Yu gave her a long look before finally heaving a deep sigh and saying, “Well, since the child belongs to Fu Sinian, I won’t say anything else. However, Duoduo, now that you and Sinian have a child, there’s still the matter of Yu Yang’s side. Mother won’t force you to do anything, but you should really lay down a firm line and make things clear to him, you know? For now you should just focus on trying to live a good life with Sinian.”

Yu Hua sighed in her heart. She had never had any thoughts about Yu Yang in the first place, okay?

“But you guys are really going to need to change now...”

“Change?”

“In the past, mom has never wanted to criticize the relationship between you two, but you should be aware of the issues in your heart, right? In the past Fu Sinian has always gone out more and stayed home less. Even though he seems upright and never had any messy things outside, and it seems that there’s nothing wrong with him, the truth is...” Mrs. Yu glanced at Fu Sinian uncomfortably. “Well, in the past, you’ve never said anything about it, but now you have a child. Even if you don’t want to think for yourself, you have to think for the child in your belly.”

However, Yu Duo wasn’t thinking so much, and she wasn’t too worried. After all, judging by Fu Sinian’s attitude towards her last night he seemed to have already changed his ways even without her saying anything. She felt like maybe she was already experiencing a bit of that so-called ‘mother depends on the son’ to become the new master of the household.

“Well, I can still live with it. And if I ever can’t, it’s not like I can’t afford to raise a child.”

Mrs. Yu’s first impulse was to refute Yu Duo’s words but, after considering for a moment, she felt her daughter was right.

“En, you’re right. It’s not as if we can’t afford to raise a child.” She murmured.
