A month before Wendy Johnson and I are set to marry, she tells me she wants to have another man's baby. Following my refusal, she keeps bringing it up daily.Half a month till the wedding, I see her pregnancy report. Just like that, I find out she is almost a month pregnant. It turns out she has no intention of seeking my agreement on this matter.
At that very moment, my love for her for so many years dissipates for good.
I'm calling off the wedding and destroying all our shared memories.
On the day we are supposed to get married, I join a sealed-off research lab without a second thought.
From now on, Wendy and I no longer have anything to do with each other!
Chapter 1
"I've explained this to you countless times already!" Wendy Johnson, my fiancee, huffed. "Harvey has cancer! He only has a year left to live, and his biggest wish is to give his family a child who can carry on the family name. He saved my life before, so I must help him fulfill this wish!"
I'd heard this argument at least 100 times in the past month. The first time Wendy brought it up, I swiftly and adamantly expressed my refusal to give her my permission. However, she didn't give up there. She kept talking about it every day.
Initially, she broached the subject carefully to seek my approval, but it slowly evolved into her righteously arguing with me over the subject. It was as if I'd be the most heartless man in the world if I didn't agree to go along with her demand.
But who repaid a debt of gratitude by carrying a person's child?
Nevertheless, the month-long fighting exhausted me both physically and mentally. I no longer had the energy to attempt to change Wendy's mind.
Staring at the woman I loved and had been in a relationship with for five years, I asked hoarsely, "Wendy, we're getting married next month, but you want to conceive another man's child. What about me? What do you take me for?"
It was Wendy's first time seeing me look this worn and defeated. It looked as though storm clouds had gathered over my head.
Her attitude eased up a little.
"I know you feel bad about this, Nathan, but I'm the only one who can help Harvey now. I can't just watch him pass away with regrets without doing anything. And anyway, it's only going to be through artificial insemination. Nothing will happen between Harvey and me. Since you love me, surely you can understand why I have to do this, right?"
Hearing this, I realized Wendy had already made up her mind. She was going to give birth to Harvey Snider's baby no matter what. My opinion didn't matter.
Wendy had more to say, but she was interrupted by her phone ringing. After checking the screen, she stepped out onto the balcony with her phone.
My lips curved into a bitter smile as I watched her from behind. She and I were childhood friends. We'd been in the same class since elementary school, and we even attended the same college.
Ever since we were children, I knew I liked her. I'd silently accompanied her all those years, but she never reciprocated my feelings. It was only after our college graduation that she finally acknowledged my efforts and agreed to be my girlfriend.
