Chapter 50 - Crazy in love with you. (2/2)

”You hear that sound? That's my heart beating for you, I don't care about your past wifey, I only want you.”

”Promise?” She asked softly.

”I promise, wifey. I love you, no matter your past my feeling for you won't change.” He said his voice full of sincerity.

Yan Mei nodded, ”I found out I was pregnant on our second anniversary. I wanted to surprise him with my baby bump on his birthday which was a few months after the anniversary, so I got pretty distant with him during those months. I always made an excuse anytime he tried to be close to me. A day before his birthday…”

Yan Mei took a deep breath, ”he came home angry and he accused me of cheating on him.”

Lei Zhao widened his eyes, ”What did you say?” he asked cautiously.

”No, of course, I didn't cheat on him obviously! I loved him!” Yan Mei said angrily. She thought Lei Zhao believed that she cheated on Wang Lu.

Yan Mei saw the pain in Lei Zhao's eyes and opened her mouth

”I didn't mean to….i thought you believe I cheated on him.” Lei Zhao shook his head. ”It's okay, I know it must be hard for you to open the scars you have buried for too long.” He said, his voice strained.

”He didn't even give me the chance to explain, he made me sign divorce papers and threw me out in the cold night. It was raining heavily that night too. I had nowhere to go. My best friend was in a coma and I had fought with my dad.”

Lei Zhao raised his brows, ”Didn't your parents die in a car accident?” He asked with curiosity.

”Yeah, I grew up with my stepdad, I met my biological father when I was fifteen. We were pretty close.”

Lei Zhao frowned, he never thought his wife had such a complicated past.

”I don't know what I did for him to accuse me of cheating. That night I lost everything including my baby.”

Yan Mei tightened the grip on his shirt. Her tears dampened his shirt as he wrapped his arm around her body. ”It's okay. Everything would be okay.”

Yan Mei sobbed heavily, ”I want to forget everything but I can't.”

Lei Zhao held her, without saying anything. ”I got hit by a car that night when I was crossing the road, I had no idea where I was going, All I remember was one second I was crossing the road, the next I saw a blinding light heading straight for me followed by an abrupt honk.”

”It's okay, don't talk about it anymore.” Yan Mei hiccupped and buried her head in his chest. She gripped his shirt in her hand, tears continued to run down her cheek and soaked his shirt.

There was a cold silence, only Yan Mei's sobs could be heard. Lei Zhao was shocked. The woman in his arms had gone through so much at such a young age. Nineteen, twenty years was supposed to a year where she had to enjoy her youth but life has been so cruel to her. Lei Zhao didn't know how to react now that he knows her past. But he knew that he would never hurt her.

Yan Mei pulled away from him and stared at him, ”I'm a bad omen, Lei Zhao. I cause destruction wherever I go. I'm doomed not to be happy. I can't let you hurt too-”

Lei Zhao touched her cheeks with his fingers as he wiped the traces of tears that had stained her face. He looked deeply into her eyes and frowned.

”Don't say that you're not a bad omen.”

”But-”

”If you are going to be my destruction, then I don't mind.” Yan Mei felt her heart skip a beat when she heard him. How can he be so calm after everything she just told him.

”You're so unreal.” She whispered lowly.

”How can you be so calm? Shouldn't you hate me for deceiving you to marry a divorced woman?”

”Because I love you and we are already married. You're my everything whether good or bad. You're mine.”

”You're crazy.”

Lei Zhao smiled softly at her, ”Yeah, I am crazy in love with you.”
