There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

When Shania talked about their children in the future, David also thought of her false pregnancy just now, and he asked, "You
just pretended to be pregnant. My mother will call us and ask about it after a time. What shall we do then?"
Shania looked at him with a smile and teased him, "There's the slightest difference between a month and two. So, I shall get
pregnant as soon as possible."
"You want a baby lately?" David was surprised. He did not expect Shania to want a baby in such a short time. They were busy
coping with many things after all.
"Sure, I do." Shania reached out and covered his right hand with her soft hand, grinning. "I have to tie you up with my baby.
Otherwise, you'll run away."
It was leg-pulling. David knew what she meant.
He held her hand and said in a tolerant tone, "Shouldn't I be the one to tie you up with the baby?"
Shania chuckled brightly with curved eyes. David held her hand tightly, then let go, and focused on driving.
Now, he must be the one who was afraid of her running away.
He had been desperately longing for her. Once he had got her, he did not want to lose her. David swore to himself that he would
cherish this valuable love for his whole life.
It seemed a thought struck him, and David suggested, "We take time to see some houses. I want a bigger one."
Since they had decided to get married and Shania wanted a baby, they had to move into a bigger house.
Although Shania followed him to Riverside without any hesitation and did not make any financial demands on him, he could not
treat her poorly and always tried his best to give her the best life.
"A bigger one?" It was Shania's turn to be surprised. She thought David's current house was big enough for them.
"Yeah. Bigger. And you can decorate it as you like," David insisted.
Shania was delighted. She did not care about it indeed, but David's proactive insistence showed his sincerity. Therefore, she
simply accepted his suggestion.

"Since then," Shania mused about the new habitation, "Our new house should be close to where Maisie lives. So, we can meet
each other and hold parties more often."
Riverside was a metropolitan area. If they did not have each other close, it would be inconvenient to drop around. Especially
when having children, people did not prefer to go out.
It would be more convenient to live next to friends and drop around or have parties with kids.
Shania enjoyed crowds and used to hold parties to invite friends to play together. But now she did not have many friends in
Riverside, except Maisie, the only sibling of David. Shania saw it as a must to live close to Maisie.
David knew Shania's preference well and was also willing to live next to Maisie. Thus, he nodded in agreement and said, "Good
idea. We'll do as you wish."
Then, he added, "Thanks."
He thanked her for living in a strange city for his sake, despite no relatives around. After all, all her relatives, friends and even her
career were abroad. But she came here willingly.
She said it in an easy tone that since the companies were hers, she could either work at home or abroad and she could even set
up a branch at home.
What moved David most was that her parents did not object to Shania's decision but supported her as much as they could. What
was more, her parents did not have the slightest prejudice nor dislike against him, after they knew he treated Shania in such a
cold and indifferent way before.
To his surprise, after he explained it was all because he thought he was not a perfect match for Shania, they completely
understood what he had done.
They understood his self-abasement and pain. They hoped David and Shania would cherish each other and live a better life,
since they rectified the misunderstandings. As they said, only they made the best of the days ahead, those days they missed
could not be seen as wasted.
Her parents had the tolerance and kindness which David had never imagined. Before he met Shania's parents, he had decided
to kneel down, apologizing and confessing his mistakes. But it turned out that they did not say a harsh word to him.

David was deeply moved and made a silent vow to himself that he would care about Shania for his life. For Shania's parents
were so forgiving and generous, David would never hurt Shania nor upset her. He would definitely treat her well.
Compared with her parents, David found his parents were so mean.
He could even give his life to Shania to repay her parents' kindness.
Instead of staying in the town, they bought tickets and flew back to Riverside at once. Their good life just began. Many things
awaited to be prepared, and Shania needed time to adjust to life in Riverside.
It was dinner time when the two arrived at Riverside and Maisie called them to eat at her home. Maisie was worried about
whether Shania felt wronged in the town.
Shania said happily as she ate the delicious food, "I'm fine."
Only the one whom you cared about hurt you, would you feel wronged. If the unimportant hurt her, she would not even give them
a glance, let alone care about what they had talked about.
Mrs. Brennan was her mother-in-law merely in name, a nobody she did not care about. But Shania could not speak out her
dislike in front of Maisie and David, because Mrs. Brennan was their mother, after all.
That was why she just told Maisie she was fine and stopped her words. David said to Maisie, "Everything's fine. Don't worry."
"Good." Maisie nodded. Ezra, sitting next to her, glanced at David and did not utter a word.
After dinner, the two men smoked in the garden. Ezra passed a cigar to David and asked, and his eyebrows raised, "Is that true?
Everything's fine?"
"Yeah," answered David.
"Whether she made up some bad rumors about your sister?" Ezra knew well what Mrs. Brenna would say.
David remained silent, which was also a tacit approval. Ezra sneered, "If it isn't for your sister's sake—"
Ezra did not complete his words. He thought the same as Shania: they were David's parents after all. Ezra should not say
anything harsh to David's face.

David took a long drag on his cigar, and in the next second, he put it out quickly in the bin nearby.
"What's the matter?" Ezra was perplexed about what David had done.
David explained to him, "We want a baby."
Ezra could not say a word.
He became jealous.
David had been with Shania for just a couple of days and they wanted a baby in such a short time.
Didn't they need time to negotiate?
And, what a lucky boy David was! He could meet Shania, who had been so completely in love with him. She forgave him as soon
as he apologized and wanted to give birth to his baby without any hesitation!
