Chapter 5 Before I could react , Jenna walked over from inside and casually draped herself over Declan's shoulder : " Oh ! Look who it is ! Hey there , Sophia ! " Seeing me , she didn't avoid anything . ] Instead , she looped her arm through Declan's : [ ] " We were just about to eat . Want to join us ? " ] I kept my expression cold . [ ] Just as I was about to speak , I saw Marcus emerging from the kitchen . ] And there on the floor was a fat , huge black cat . ] Seeing my silence , Jenna stuck out her tongue awkwardly and sheepishly let go of Declan : ] " Your wife is upset again . " ] She shrugged helplessly at me : [ ] " Marcus and I are getting married next month . " [ ] " Since we're all here , why don't we eat together tonight- " ] " No thanks . " Declan cut her off coldly . He stepped forward and grabbed my wrist . " Sophia's not hungry . " ] He snatched the baseball bat from my hands . ] And threw it hard onto the ground . [ ] Clang . I jumped . ] Instinctively , I covered my belly . [ ] But Declan didn't care at all . The way he looked at me was ice - cold , without a trace of warmth : " Still making a scene ? " ] I was still trembling . Just barely holding back tears . ] Chapter 5 And Declan , who'd always been incredibly gentle with me , reached out and shoved me hard toward the exit- Bang .

What's one more place setting ? Maybe we should- " ] Declan sounded thoroughly irritated : ] " So what if she's pregnant ? Does the whole world have to revolve around her ? " " A little fall won't kill her . Other anant women work right up until their due date . She's just spoiled and looking for drama ! " From inside the apartment , Declan's voice continued to echo in my ears : [ ] " I honestly don't know why Sophia's so paranoid , acting like a psycho . " ] " Should I really take her to see a shrink ? I'm so sick of living like this ! " I smiled bitterly as I struggled to my feet . ] The day I found out I was pregnant , Declan had cried and laughed at the same time . Happy about our love bearing fruit . [ ] But also worried about what I'd have to go through . ] ] For days , he'd toss and turn at night . Just thinking about me going through childbirth , walking through death's door , made him hold me tight with overwhelming tenderness . ] In just two months , that tenderness and love seemed to have expired . I slowly walked back to our apartment . [ ] The cheerful laughter from next door rang in my ears . [ ] Especially hearing Jenna's seductive giggles made me even more irritated . ] After scheduling tomorrow's consultation about the abortion , I simply pulled the covers over my head .
