The Real Reason

"And you," Amanda turned to Anne and said in a gentle voice, "you knew that James had a relationship with Esther. Now you are married and James said that he has nothing to do with Esther. You shouldn't be suspicious and find trouble for yourself anymore. You have to remind yourself that you are pregnant now. You are pregnant with our Gibsons' great-grandson. You should take good care of yourself."

Sarah added, "Yes, Anne. Esther will be happy if you miscarried the baby. Do you want her to laugh at you?"

James didn't speak anymore. He threw the controller and went upstairs angrily.

Anne bit her lips and stared at his back as he left, feeling extremely wronged.

Shouldn't James hug and coax her at this time? He would have done these before.

Could it be that as the book said, once one obtained something, one would no longer cherish it?

But she was pregnant. It was easier for pregnant women to get emotional. Wasn't it the time when she needed to be understood and tolerated?
