I got into the passenger’s seat for the first time in a long time, and I realized that the interior of Jasper’s car was now decorated in a cartoonish pink.
When Jasper saw me looking around, he rubbed his nose rather guiltily and explained. “Nicole is just childlike. She whined about wanting to change the decor to pink, and I was afraid that she would get angry if I refused and that it would affect the baby, so I changed it.”
The interior of the car had once been black and gold. I had found a professional designer to design it for Jasper.
He had liked it very much, and whenever we drove out together in this car, he would compliment my taste and say what a thoughtful wife I was for even thinking about his car interior.
However, how much he liked it and how thoughtful I was as a wife had counted for nothing when faced with Nicole’s childlike nature.
There was an ornament on the console with a photo on it. It was a photo of Jasper and Nicole together. They were leaning very close to each other and smiling very happily.
The ornament could be voice-controlled and relied on solar power. They didn’t only have one photo together.
Photo after photo of the two of them together revolved and flashed in front of my eyes, looking particularly jarring in the sunlight.
Jasper noticed what I was looking at, and he followed my gaze. As his eyes alighted on the rotating ornament, music started playing.
“If you sneeze, I must be missing you…”
It was Nicole’s voice.
“Ahem. The crystal you gave me shattered somehow, and Nicole felt that the car was a little empty, so she put that there. If you don’t like it…”
The sunlight was stinging my eyes. I closed them slowly. “It’s alright. Let’s go to the hospital.”
In the past, I would have made a fuss. However, I no longer wanted this man, and I would not care anymore about anything that concerned him.
However, the car had only gone some distance forward when Nicole called, crying. I heard the sound of a baby wailing, and my heart twisted violently at once.
I grabbed Jasper’s arm hard. “The baby! What’s wrong with the baby? Why is he crying so loudly?”
However, Jasper had no time for me. He flung my hand aside and stopped the car at once before turning it around.
“Get out of the car.” His voice was filled with urgency. “Hurry up! Nicole’s in such a state that she’s crying. I’ve got to rush over there to see her!”
I yelled with all my strength, “I’m asking you what happened to the baby!”
If he had even shown any concern for the baby, I wouldn’t have been so agitated, but all he cared about was how Nicole was. My baby was just a tool for him to make Nicole happy.
“I’m not getting out of the car. I want to go and see the baby.”
