Nora shook her head, trying desperately to hold back the tears which almost wetted her eyes.
"If he did not bully you, then what happened?" Rose was worried while seeing Nora like this.
She had been away from City J for almost a month. Why did Nora change so much?
"I just miss you and am excited to see you." Nora wiped away the tears and smiled.
"I know you miss me. But that's not the look when you are excited to see me." Rose stared at Nora
seriously, "You have to be honest with me, or I'll never talk to you again."
Nora pursed her red lips and took a deep breath. She wasn't ready to tell the whole truth about
everything.
Nora felt tortured, clasped her fingers, and was hesitating.
Seeing her frown and hesitant look, Rose knew Nora was still hesitating.
"I know you have your own thoughts. But I'm worried about you." Rose took her cool hands.
Nora pulled Rose up, "Let's go upstairs and talk."
After all, there were some things she did not want Freya to hear. Although Freya had watched her grow
up and treated her well, Freya did not dare to hide such a big thing from her parents if she heard it.
After going upstairs, entering the bedroom and closing the door, Nora spoke, "I'm divorcing him."
"Alan?" Rose was shocked for a few seconds, digesting the information Nora said before asking her,
"Don't you get along well? Why do you suddenly want a divorce? Did he wrong you? He has another
woman outside? If he dares to bully you, I won't let him off."
"No." Nora soothed Rose who was a bit agitated. Only the matter of her best friend could make Rose
lose her gentleness, "I'm the one who wanted a divorce."
"Since he didn't bully you, why do you want a divorce?" Rose was very confused, "Is it because you still
can't forget Mr. Oscar and can't live with Alan?"
Nora looked down and her eyes were full of sorrow.
"I also want to live well with Alan. But..." she choked, "do you remember what I told you about Nathan
last time?"
"Yes." Rose nodded.
"I didn't tell you the whole truth." Nora looked up at her, "Even though I wasn't defiled by Nathan and
was saved by Oca, I had sex with Oca...."
Rose's eyes were widened in shock as she stared at Nora's charming face for three minutes. The air
froze until she could say something to break the silence.
"You had sex with Oca...." What a prank of fate!
"I didn't want to. But because of the drug and because his face is exactly the same as Oscar's, I
couldn't tell who he was and control myself. Oca and Hazel are dating..."
"Alan knew about it. So, you brought up divorce after your fight?" Rose guessed.
"No, he doesn't know about it yet. But he knows about something worse." Nora's forehead was aching
as she spoke.
"What is it?" Rose kept her composure.
Nora was about to say more when she had an upset stomach again. Every morning, she had morning
sickness and felt worse by the day.
She rushed to the bathroom, started vomiting on the toilet furiously, until her face was as white as a
sheet of white paper.
Rose followed her in. When she saw Nora's appearance, she knew everything without asking her. She
was shocked. Her limbs were cold and her face was pale. She did not look better than Nora.
Rose went up and patted her back, and brought Nora water to rinse her mouth.
It took a while for Nora to recover. The corners of her mouth were still stained with water.
Nora put the glass of water on the sink, raised her hand to wipe the water, and then smiled bitterly, "I'm
pregnant."
Rose didn't say anything, but looked at Nora sadly. She could see that Nora disguised her sorrow
beneath a smiling appearance.
It was really hard for Nora to make a choice.
"He did not know anything at first. But I did not want to cheat him. So, I told him I wanted a divorce. He
did not agree. Unexpectedly, I fainted a few days ago and he took me to the hospital. Then, I was
tested and found to be pregnant." Nora said calmly. But there was an indescribable sorrow.
"I think he was shocked and hurt a lot. But I could not comfort him. Now that he knows, I can only
continue to rub salt in his wounds to let him give up and agree to a divorce. It was wrong for me to
cheat on him about having lost my virginity. I can't make him the father of other people's child.
Who can stand this? I don't want to humiliate Alan. He is a good man, but I don't deserve him.
Sometimes, I really want to slap myself a few times. I have hurt him completely. But he didn't scold me
at all, which only made me feel worse.
I really want him to lose his temper with me. Even if he beats me and scolds me, I think I will feel better
than I do now. He hasn't been home for a few days since he found out about my pregnancy. I certainly
don't blame him. After all, I was the one who wronged him in the first place. I have no complaints about
how he treats me."
"I think a divorce and letting him leave me is the best thing for us right now. Rose, would you think I'm
being too selfish?" Nora felt so sorry and did not know what to do.
Rose was calm and helped Nora first, "Let's talk outside."
She helped Nora to sit in the sofa, holding her hand, and said seriously, "Have you really thought about
divorcing Alan?"
"This child is not his. He does not have to raise it with me." Nora nodded heavily and had made up her
mind, "I've asked my lawyer to draft the divorce papers."
"And what will you do after you divorce him?" Rose pressed her, "Does Mr. Oca know about this? Do
you want the baby to recognize him?"
"There's no way I'm going to tell him about this!" Nora gritted her teeth and frowned, "This is my own
business, not theirs. Oca and Hazel are dating. I'll never use this child to tie him and ruin their
relationship. I am not such a woman!"
"Nora..." Rose felt sad and bitter, "What's the difference between you and me back then? You are
recommitting the same error I have done."
