The Marriage Expedient

"You pregnant."

A middle-aged doctor with black-rimmed glasses said directly to Clara while looking at the LCD computer.

Clara, who was dizzy and weak with a fever, felt that something had exploded in her brain when she heard the news, which made her even dizzier.

"Doctor, but... I mean, if I didn't want this child, I could have an abortion one day?"

The doctor frowned slightly upon hearing this, lifted his head from the computer gaze, and looked at the beautiful young woman in front of him, not understanding, "Don't you young people take your bodies seriously? You should know there is only a 7% chance of getting pregnant. Due to your body structure and a history of previous miscarriages, if you insist on an abortion, it will do great damage to your body. And, likely, you won't be able to get pregnant again in the future."

Clara was taken aback by the doctor's words, and in a daze, she walked out of the hospital with the report.

It's going into fall, and it's raining the first fall, which isn't too much but also prevents Clara from moving forward.

She stood at the hospital gate frantically, looking up at the overcast sky, and was so depressed that she felt uncomfortable.

Why did Clara look like she didn't want the child? It's not like that, and it's just that the kid came at the wrong time.

A few days ago, her husband Hadrian Dawson returned from overseas, and she had carefully prepared a party at home to celebrate their second wedding anniversary.

Unexpectedly, what was waiting was the divorce papers.

Clara was taken aback.

She asks Hadrian why he suddenly filed for divorce.

Hadrian sneered a few times, looked calmly at Clara sitting by the bed, and said coldly, "You originally planned our wedding. And now, it's been one year since grandpa died. I think there's no need for us to continue this."

"You don't believe me?"

"Why should I trust you? A woman who climbs into a man's bed for money and uses weak excuses to get my grandfather to force me to marry you. Why should I trust someone like you?"

She slightly raised her head and looked at Hadrian in disbelief. Somewhere in her heart, it ached like a pinprick, and she couldn't help but tremble. Her eyes suddenly reddened, and tears flowed out, "My mother said to do intimate things the first time; it must be done with someone I like. You were the first to touch me at that time, and then you married me. What's wrong with that?"

"Don't forget anything else, and you were the one who tricked me. Put something in the wine I drank, and let me touch you."

"I didn't do that."

Clara is still arguing and won't admit what she didn't do.

But Hadrian didn't believe it.

He held his hands around his waist nonchalantly from start to finish, staring condescendingly at Clara.

"So, the good things you and I did together in the past were for grandpa, right?" Clara asked reluctantly.

"Where do you think I fell in love with you? I have absolutely no interest in a strange woman like you."

Clara squeezed the sheets tightly, tears began to fall, and her whole body trembled.

Clara always thought that their marriage relationship was perfect and very happy. When Grandpa was alive, Hadrian was very obedient and considerate to her. According to famous words on the Internet, she is the wife her husband loves very much.

Grandpa died a year ago.

The relationship between them began to fade day by day. Hadrian often didn't come home at night and became so indifferent to Clara that he didn't care about her. The couple who previously lay in the same bed and fell asleep with love and affection then slept in separate rooms.

At first, Clara thought that Grandpa's death had dealt a massive blow to Hadrian because he was the person who loved him the most in his life.

Therefore, at first, Clara was very forgiving of Hadrian, and as usual, she took care of the house, made food for him, and acted as a good wife.

Later, however, various scandals about Hadrian appeared on major media websites and TV news.

"President Hadrian on a late night date with a mysterious woman in a hotel."

"President Hadrian visits his girlfriend who is reportedly cast from 'Wonderful World' "

"An actress is suspected of having a relationship with a wealthy third generation."

Each scandal is related to a different woman.

Hadrian and Clara were married secretly, and they didn't have a wedding ceremony but only got a marriage certificate.

At that time, grandfather wanted Hadrian to announce it, but Hadrian was not ready. He gave because he had just joined the Dawson Group at that time, and he didn't want to stand out too much to spread rumours. He would wait until he was thoroughly familiar with the company's business, became the company's leader, and stood firm in public.
