Man's nature at birth was good, but they lost their good nature as they grew up.
They became greedy, lascivious, cruel... Some people went through life mediocre, and some did a lot of bad things.
The bad guys might have their moments, but a day of reckoning would eventually come.
Edgar was one of the bad guys. In the past, he hated Adela so much that he kept cheating on her. His mistresses were nothing like her.
He had been dreaming of leaving her, but only to this day did he realize that he loved her so much. His heart seemed to break the moment she left.
He felt as if a knife were slowly slicing through his heart. His heart was not bleeding, but it ached so much.
It was like Adela took his soul. Ruth often came to visit him. She sat beside his bed and told him about the child over and over again.
She said she couldn't eat anything because of the morning sickness, but she was afraid to tell her mom, because her mom would break her legs.
Edgar looked at the young and energetic woman in front of him. She was not as seductive as she used to be.
She no longer wore makeup or high heels, nor did she deliberately please him as before.
In his eyes, she was even younger than his son. She was just a little girl.
He looked at her seriously, but she reminded him of young Adela.
"Edgar, which dress do you think I should wear to the dinner party?" Young Adela twirled two dresses before young Edgar.
"Either one looks good on you." He looked up from his computer at her, but he saw both dresses as the same.
"How about this one? It goes with your tie. We're a couple and we should wear matching clothes," Adela said to herself.
"All right."
Adela was adorable when she was young, but he never cared about it. He was at his busiest when she had the baby.
At that time, he was not the vice president, but a senior executive. He traveled a lot.
Did Adela throw up when she was pregnant? Was it hard for her to be home alone?
He used to think she had a full life because she went shopping and got a facial every day. But now he realized she was doing it because she was lonely. He was completely wrong.
"What's on your mind?" Ruth found that Edgar was distracted again. He was a very different man now, and he often sat there in a trance.
"Nothing. Ruth, let me ask you a question."
"Go ahead."
"You're still so young. You really want to spend the rest of your life with me?" Edgar's voice was calm, as if he were talking about weather.
"... Yes. You're the father of my child. I don't deny that I approached you for money, but now I'm staying because I love you. By the way, to save money, we can have a simple wedding."
In fact, when Edgar asked her this question, her mind was in a mess. At first, she got pregnant just to get back at Edgar and Adela.
Now that she got what she wanted, she was not as happy as she should be. Originally, she thought Adela would make things difficult for her.
