Although they had been married for two years, Vera adamantly refused to conceive a child, fearing it would tarnish her figure.

Aline, on the other hand, possessed a different perspective. She willingly embraced the idea of bearing a child for Joseph.

She expressed her pregnancy cravings for sour food.

Joseph envisioned himself as the father of her child.

Consequently, he found himself obliged to accompany her in the present moment .

Fearful of revealing the truth, he conjured up a fabricated excuse, uttering, "There is an urgent matter that demands my attention at the company. I shall return promptly.”

Naturally, Vera harbored skepticism towards such a rationale.

Nonetheless, she was unable to retain him. On their wedding anniversary, he persisted in his desire to depart, leaving Vera feeling utterly forlorn.

She fixed her gaze upon him.

Eventually, she inquired, her voice Laden with emotion, “Joseph, do you genuinely wish to Leave?"

Joseph, burdened with guilt, nodded in affirmation.

Suddenly, Vera's countenance transformed into a smile as she delicately tossed her Lustrous locks, saying, "Very well! You may go!"

Upon hearing this, Joseph swiftly hastened towards the awaiting elevator.

Once he had departed, Vera's lips began to quiver and her entire body trembled uncontrollably

“Rena, how did he become this way?" she asked, her voice filled with anguish.

Rena tenderly responded, "Would you like to pursue a divorce?"

With tear-filled eyes, Vera shook her head in response.

She retrieved her phone and dialed a number

“Roscoe... I find myself at the club! I have indulged in excessive drinking. Could you kindly escort me home? Joseph has found someone else to accompany. I am left alone..."

Rena stood in stunned silence.

She tightly grasped Vera's arm, inquiring, “What are you doing?"

Vera gently shook off Rena‘s grip, her beautiful pale face expressing a resolute determination.
