Trying to conceive with my husband for three years, not once did it take.
Until one time I was taking folic acid in front of my doctor friend.
She snatched my pills, found them suspicious and ground them into powder.
"This isn't folic acid at all, these are birth control pills."
After hearing my friend's words, I sent the pills to a lab for testing.
It turns out, I had been taking birth control pills for three years.
These pills were all given to me by Dashiell. Every time before we had sex, he would coax me into swallowing one.
Just as I was about to confront him with the test results, I received a message from Evelina in our friend group chat.
The photo showed a pregnancy test with two red lines.
[Hubby, want to make a bet?]
[Do you think I'll have a little Dashiell or a little Evelina?]
[I bet it'll be a little Dashiell.]
Two minutes later, she pretended to be embarrassed: [Sorry everyone, I sent that to the wrong person.]
[I can't unsend it, please just pretend you didn't see it.]
I gave a cold, bitter laugh, but finally shed that sense of moral obligation.
Replying to the crush in my youth: [In one month, I'll go with you.]

My Husband Fed Me Birth Control Pills for Three Years

It was a rainy day when Dashiell came looking for me.


I was fully geared up, just returning from a grocery run with Elio.


The visibility was low due to the rain, and with the two of us sharing an umbrella, we didn't clearly see Dashiell at all.


He determinedly knocked our umbrella away and threw a punch at Elio.


Blood slowly seeped from the corner of Elio's mouth, mixing with the rainwater.


I shoved Dashiell, "What are you doing? I'm calling the cops if you keep acting crazy."


Dashiell wasn't carrying an umbrella. His hair was flattened by the rain, and his clothes were completely soaked.


Rain rolled down his face as he wiped it with his hand and shouted hoarsely:


"Scarlett, you're gonna call the cops? Everyone knows you're my darling."


"You come all the way here to find a man, and you think you're in the right?"


He laughed coldly, "I wondered why your heart had turned to stone. So you've found a new target, huh?"
