Since then, Tasha had been deeply depressed.
Seth had arranged for several doctors and nutritionists to live with Tasha in the house. They were responsible for her diet and the health of the baby in her belly.
Save for the divorce and the affair, he was no different from a considerate husband, but he seldom went home.
One day, Tasha was watching the gossip news on TV. There, plastered on the big screen, were Seth's and Julia's pristine faces. The man was calm and elegant, while the woman was beautiful and charming. They looked like a perfect match.
"Mrs. Lester, why're you watching that?" When the maid saw what Tasha was watching, she grabbed the remote control from Tasha's hand and turned off the TV. "It's all fake news. Don't take it to heart, ma'am."
Smiling wryly, Tasha subconsciously touched her belly and murmured, "He openly goes out with his mistress now. They're like a real couple now."
Tasha had seen several news segments claiming that the eldest son of the Lester family had a new girlfriend and was about to divorce his wife.
The servant was worried that the bad news would worsen Tasha's mood, subsequently affecting the baby in her belly. She tried to put on a smile and consoled her, "But you are the one and only Mrs. Lester. Just ignore that woman. Your health should be your priority now."
Hearing this, Tasha smiled bitterly. "I won't be 'Mrs. Lester' for long."
She had been completely desolate ever since Seth broke the news to her. She knew it was impossible to make him change his mind because he was a soulless, heartless psychopath. He didn't love her. He didn't even treat her like a normal human being. In his eyes, she was just a baby machine.
As for the child, Tasha didn't intend to keep it. If the child was born into such a broken family, her child was destined to live an unhappy life.
However, Tasha had been pondering over this for days on end, and she still couldn't make up her mind to abort the baby.
This was her first child, and while she was only a few weeks' pregnant, she already loved it very much. Besides, Seth would never allow her to have an abortion.
Theservantsighed."Whataboutthechild, ma'am? You have to be strong for the child."
