I’m Shiho (in my 20s). Six months after I started dating Hiroaki (in his 30s), I found out I was pregnant. We decided to get married, but five days after we filed our marriage registration, I miscarried. We tried to conceive again afterward, but getting pregnant proved difficult. Then, at my mother-in-law’s birthday party, she dropped a bombshell on me: “If you had miscarried five days earlier, my son wouldn’t have married you,” and “I always thought the one he’d marry was Mitsuki.” Wait… who is Mitsuki? After the party, I confronted Hiroaki, and to my shock, he admitted that Mitsuki was actually his true love. He was stupidly honest about everything, spilling all the details.
Hiroaki kept talking about his ex, Mitsuki, looking so happy. It was obvious he was still hung up on her. I was devastated when his parents insulted me earlier, but now, all I feel is pure rage. Ugh… what a fool I was to get involved with a guy like this… That handsome profile I used to steal glances at in the elevator? It’s nowhere to be found now. My anger finally hit its breaking point, so I decided to leave him at the cafe. Once I get home, I’m packing my bags in a hurry and heading back to my parents’ place.
