The Tides Swept You Out of My Life novel

---- Chapter 4 Seamus was beside himself with fury. "Autumn, how could you be so cruel?! You know Laura is pregnant, yet you tried to kill her! I was wrong about you, you disgust me!" Thomas jabbed a finger at me too, his eyes bloodshot. " Aunt Laura is always so nice to me! How could you try to kill her?! You're the worst mother in the whole village. I wish you had been pushed into the sea instead!" Seamus carried Laura on his back and left without looking back.

Thomas even threw a seashell at me before following them. The shell sliced open my skin under my eye, but I could barely feel a thing. I just stood rooted to the spot, tears flowing freely. Luckily, I could finally leave this accursed place tomorrow. I stayed by the seaside until late that night. When I got home, the house was completely dark. As soon as I entered my room, however, I saw Seamus sitting on a chair, waiting for me.

"Autumn, you're back." ---- I brushed my teeth wordlessly, ignoring him. Seamus took my hand, his tone unnaturally gentle. " Autumn, I gave it a lot and decided. Once that baby is born, let's raise it together. We can pretend you were the one who gave birth to it, and then we'll still be a happy couple! Don't overthink things, okay?" He paused and then continued, "Also, it's almost the end of the year. This job is really important to me, so I'm begging you, don't make a fuss at my office, okay?

You're such a considerate wife, so I'm sure you wouldn't want to see me get into trouble at work, would you?" I paused and scoffed coldly. So that was why Seamus stayed up all night waiting for me to come home. He wanted to tell me not to go to his company and ruin his future! His two-facedness made me want to puke. I closed my eyes and replied with a frown, "Don't worry, you may be shameless enough to do such a thing, but I'm too ashamed to even speak it!

Get out, I want to sleep alone!" Seamus froze and gave me a long look before finally leaving the room, reassured. ---- The next morning, he left for work with bags under his eyes. He had not slept properly all night because he could not get my cold expression out of his mind. He could not focus at work either. After rushing his tasks on hand, he quickly rode his bike back home. The only person he could find in the house was our son, who was doing his homework in the living room.

Seamus searched the whole house but could not find any trace of me. He was starting to get a bad feeling, so he asked Thomas anxiously, "Tommy, where's your mom?" Thomas did not even look up. "Who knows? She's probably in the fields. Dad, didn't you say you were working overtime today?" Seamus continued to look around and ask, "Then where's. your Aunt Laura?

Why isn't she around either?" "Aunt Laura said she wasn't feeling very well, so she went to the clinic in town for some medicine." Seamus paused, his concern for me immediately turning to worry for Laura's unborn baby instead. After all, that ---- was his child! As a result, he immediately rode his bike into town. It was getting late, yet there was not a single person in the reception hall at the clinic. Confused, Seamus headed toward the rooms at the back.

Before he could knock on the door, however, he heard a suppressed moan from inside. Seamus instantly stiffened. He knew that voice all too well! He peeked into the room through a crack in the window, only to find Laura and Dr. Jensen all over each other. "you little nymph!" Dr. Jensen growled. Laura giggled smugly, her clothes all askew. "Be gentler with me, Kevin. You wouldn't want to hurt my baby." Kevin Jensen scoffed amid his heavy breathing. "Stop pretending, my little nymph.

Both of us know there is no baby!" Seamus felt like his world was crashing down around him. He stood rooted to the spot, stunned.
