share time: 2026-01-19 06:42:06

Lin Xiaoman and Chen Mo have been married for five years, with their elder daughter just starting kindergarten when Lin accidentally gets pregnant with a second child. She expects her husband’s joy, but Chen suddenly becomes silent—he stops picking her up from work and even avoids discussing prenatal check-ups. Lin’s heart grows cold, thinking Chen no longer loves her. Until one day, while searching for her prenatal report, she accidentally plays a voice recording on Chen’s phone: his confession to a friend, “I check pregnancy tips every night, but last time she cried holding our feverish daughter, saying ‘I can’t even handle one,’ I’m scared she’ll blame herself if she knows I want this second child.” Silence wasn’t rejection—it was love hidden in “fear of making her sad.” When Lin confronts Chen with the recording, he pulls out a tiny baby outfit he’s hidden for half a month, tears in his eyes: “I was afraid of your stress, but I’m more afraid of missing the chance to grow old with you and this child.”
