"Bang!"
The ring box fell to the ground.
The sound was not loud, but it was like a heavy hammer that smashed his heart. For a moment, he didn't know how to react.
The box was slammed open. Under the light, the ring which almost cost two million dollars was gleaming. But in James's eyes, the light of the diamond was so dazzling and mocking that he didn't want to look at it more.
His hands, which were at his sides, started to tremble uncontrollably. Even his body started to shake.
He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists hard, trying to stop himself from trembling, but he could do nothing about it.
James's intense eyes were fixed on the drawer that he had pulled open again. He looked at the small bottle and the black words on it, and his breath came in convulsive gasps.
His heart, which had been filled with joy, suddenly ached at this moment.
Taking a deep breath, he forced himself to reach out his trembling hand in the direction of the drawer.
The little bottle was obviously so light, but he felt that it took him a lot of effort to pick it up.
Although he had seen the words on it, when he saw them clearly, he still couldn't help but widen his bloodshot eyes.
The contraceptive pills?
He sneered.
All the happiness in his heart had disappeared. Only then did he realize that his heart seemed to have been torn into countless small pieces by something. He was so sad and painful that he couldn't even breathe.
He unscrewed the lid quickly and found that a quarter of the pills had been eaten.
The words on the bottle were foreign language...
In this way, did it mean that she had bought these pills when they were on a honeymoon?
He gritted his teeth severely and held the bottle tightly. He just wanted to throw the bottle to the ground with all his strength.
However, he didn't do that.
At this point, he was even thinking ridiculously that it was bad. At least, she cared about herself. It was not an emergency contraceptive and it wouldn't hurt her health.
Well... she really did a good job!
However, he couldn't accept it at all! His wife actually ate such pills behind his back, and he was like a fool and didn't notice it at all.
How pathetic it was! He had never felt that he was so pathetic in his life.
From a logical point of view, he should ask her in a mild and roundabout way. After all, he didn't want to blame her and lose his temper for no reason before he knew the truth.
He tried to calm down. At this time, what he needed to do was to put the bottle back to the place, and then find a chance to talk to her.
Then, what he needed to do next was to pick up the ring on the ground, pretend to know nothing, and give her the surprise that he had carefully prepared.
Thinking like this, he nodded like a fool and felt that his plan could not be more correct.
He closed his eyes, screwed down the lid, and then put the bottle into the drawer with a broken heart.
However...
Before he put down the bottle in his hand, a small box successfully attracted his attention.
He closed his eyes tightly and took a deep breath, but he couldn't control his curiosity. He quickly picked up the small box inside the drawer with the other hand.
Mifepristone?
He raised his head up high and then took several deep breaths.
