Seventeen Imagines III

#28 "Too late for everything(?)"

My husband entered a messy love triangle. He loves a girl but that girl loves another man. I, who don't belong to that group and who don't like anyone, married my husband. How did it happen?

"Why are you here?" Joshua asked when I entered his room.

"Let's make a baby tonight."

"Are you crazy? Get lost."

I never had any feelings for him. It was all a business marriage when both companies will benefit. My husband and I are in our late 30's. Basically, it should be the time for me to bear a kid. My father also wanted to see his grandchildren as soon as possible so I am doing my best to have a s** with Joshua. It won't be an immoral thing since we're married. But my husband believes that he should only do it with the woman he loves. Apparently, he doesn't love me. However, in my age, I think that falling in love like how those teenagers do, is already too late.

"Maybe I should wear sexy outfit next time," I murmured as I left his room. Joshua even threw a pillow to my face just to force me to get out.

"Ding dong~"

Someone pressed the doorbell and when I checked the security screen, it was Bea, the woman my husband loves. So I didn't open the door and went back to my husband instead.

"What?" Joshua asked in irritated tone after I peeked inside for the second time. "I told you to stop bothering me, didn't I?"

"Bea is here," I said.

His expression has softened, like an ice that was melted in the desert. Joshua dashed out and opened the main door in panic. From the back, I watched them in silence.

"Why are you here?" Joshua asked to Bea who's crying so hard.

"He's a jerk. He is a jerk," Bea cried. My husband then hugged her with all his might.

"Shsssh. It's okay. I'm here."

This is... creepy. Well, it's not the first time I've witnessed this. Bea knows that there's no special relationship between my husband and me. And Joshua doesn't care about me at all, so do I.

I walked inside my room and collapsed on my bed. "They are so stupid," I mumbled.

I mean, if Joshua really loves her, he should marry Bea, not me. Also, that fox irritates me for some reason. She rejected Joshua but every time she got a problem with the guy she likes, she will go to Joshua, crying and begging for attention.

"Joshua is too stupid," that's my final conclusion. He let the girl go back and forth. What is she? A Yo-Yo?

Tomorrow morning, I woke up early to prepare for my work. When I was putting milk on my cereal bowl with heavy eyelids, I saw my husband sitting on the couch. Since when he was there? I didn't notice it before.

"(Y/n), let's talk," he said.

I brought my cereal and sat across him. "Drop it."

"I..." He met my gaze. "...wanted to be with Bea."

I nodded my head because that's the fact. "So?"

"After five months, let's divorce," he suggested.

I knew that this would happen soon. However, I am slightly disappointed that he'll go without getting me pregnant. Am I going to live alone? I want my own kid and raised him by myself.
