His Pregnant Wife Kissed Another Man But it s NOT CHEATING

The story opens with Carrie, a poet and singer, hosting an intimate party for her husband Simon. During the celebration, she performs the very first poem she ever wrote for him. A touching reminder that these two are more than just lovers. They are soulmates who've known each other for years. One evening, Simon arrives home clutching an important piece of paper, eager to share something with Carrie. But before he can speak, she stops him. She has news of her own. Being the gentleman he is, Simon lets her go first. The moment Carrie reveals she's pregnant, his face lights up with pure joy. They are finally going to have the baby they've always dreamed of. When she asks about his news, Simon simply smiles, tucks the paper away, and tells her it's nothing compared to what she just shared. With a child coming, Carrie suggests they clean up their language to set a good example. Simon happily agrees, still beaming as he heads out the door. Soon, the couple finds themselves playing the name game everywhere they go, tossing around ideas for their future child. When Carrie accidentally lets a curse word slip, Simon grabs their swear jar, a cute little system they've created where each bad word costs them $5. It's both an effective habit-breaker and an unintentional savings plan. Their life together looks idyllic. Carrie creates poetry and music while Simon makes his mark as a respected writer. They complement each other perfectly. One day, Simon surprises her by performing a monologue from a play he acted in years earlier, sending them both into fits of laughter, as she playfully runs through the house with him in pursuit. But then, without warning, Simon stops mid-chase and stares at the house with an inexplicably sad expression. Carrie notices, but doesn't understand what's troubling him. Later, Carrie visits a bookstore where inspiration strikes. She sits down to write some new lines, only to have her pen run out of ink at the worst possible moment. A store clerk rushes over to help, providing her with a pen and asking about her writing. She explains that she writes songs and poems, and used to perform, but doesn't anymore. The clerk seems genuinely interested, perhaps a bit too interested. Carrie senses this, thanks him politely, and walks away before things become awkward. Back home, Carrie practices her new song with Simon's enthusiastic support. They discuss his upcoming 40th birthday, and she proposes using their swear jar money to throw him a proper celebration. The next day brings Carrie back to the bookstore, where she encounters the same clerk, Owen. He's surprised to see her and jokingly asks what brought her back. Flustered, she requests a book on painting, but Owen instead hands her one about developing writing and musical skills. His knowledge impresses her enough to stay and chat. Owen reveals he's in a band, singing and playing instruments, but works at the bookstore to pay the bills. Then he casually asks if she'd like to grab coffee sometime. Caught off guard, Carrie says no, then quickly adds that she'll think about it. When Carrie returns home, she's surprised to find Simon's mother there. Carrie isn't thrilled, especially since she wanted to keep the pregnancy private for now. But Simon, too excited to contain himself, blurts out the news. His mother is overjoyed, but the mood sours when she brings up Simon's late father. A topic that clearly strikes a nerve. Simon's unresolved feelings create instant tension. Carrie attempts to smooth things over, but her mother-in-law takes offense and leaves. After this, Carrie finds herself at the bookstore almost daily, drawn to Owen. They talk, laugh, and she genuinely enjoys his company, maybe too much. The very next day, she meets him but tries to establish boundaries, telling him they shouldn't see each other anymore. Owen laughs, thinking she's joking. He has no idea she's married. When she doesn't clarify, he suggests a short walk, and she agrees. Later, at the school where Carrie teaches, Simon's mother makes another unexpected appearance. She seems melancholic, talking about how much she misses Simon's father. Then she looks Carrie in the eye and shares something significant. Secrets can destroy any marriage. It's the one piece of advice she desperately wants Carrie to remember. After she leaves, Simon calls about their pregnancy check-up appointment. Carrie's running late and arrives visibly nervous. Simon's mother keeps calling, which annoys Simon, so Carrie mentions the earlier visit. Everything seems fine until they leave the doctor's office. When Carrie's mood suddenly shifts, something feels wrong. Out of nowhere, she says she doesn't want the baby, that she's not ready for that responsibility. They argue as soon as they get home. Carrie senses something's off with Simon, but he keeps reassuring her that everything's fine, and that he truly wants this baby. Still, she can't shake the feeling that has been different, too calm, too kind, almost too perfect. Eventually, she lets it go and chooses to believe him. As time passes, Carrie sees Owen more frequently. They grow closer with each meeting. During one afternoon in the park, they open up about their lives and discover surprising similarities. Both lost their parents. Both turn to art and music for comfort. Feeling the connection, Owen admits he's attracted to her. Carrie hesitates, but then gives in to the moment, leaning closer. Just as things are about to cross a line, she spots Simon's mother walking by. Panicked, Carrie jumps up, greets her casually, and prays she didn't see anything suspicious. After his mother leaves, Carrie finally comes clean to Owen. She tells him the woman was her mother-in-law, which means yes, she's married. That night when Carrie gets home, Simon is sitting quietly, staring at an ultrasound picture of their baby girl. He's wearing glasses because of terrible headaches and blurry vision. They joke around and laugh. For a moment, everything feels normal again. Simon gets up to make coffee while Carrie continues chatting from the other room. Then silence. She calls out to him. No answer. She walks to the kitchen and sees it. Simon lying on the floor. He's gone. A few days later, Carrie visits Owen to apologize for lying and to explain everything. That she was married. But her husband has passed away. She quietly leaves, heartbroken all over again. When she returns home, Simon's mother is there helping pack up his things. Later, while his mother steps outside for a smoke, Carrie finds a piece of paper tucked among Simon's belongings. The same paper he had the day she told him she was pregnant. Curious, she reads it and freezes. The paper reveals that Simon had been diagnosed with severe vascular problems. His condition was serious. He knew he didn't have much time left. Carrie runs outside to confront Simon's mother, desperate for answers. His mother admits that Simon had told her everything, but made her promise not to tell Carrie. He didn't want to ruin her happiness, especially after learning she was pregnant. Carrie breaks down, feeling betrayed and angry that Simon kept something so huge from her. She yells at his mother, accusing her of lying too, by keeping the secret. She tells her to leave and never come back. Understanding that Carrie's speaking from pure heartbreak, the mother promises to return the next day to check on her. As soon as she's gone, Carrie's emotions explode, destroying the plants in the garden, the same one Simon used to care for. Time passes. Carrie's belly grows. The pregnancy becomes harder, but eventually the big day arrives. She gives birth safely, and everything goes smoothly. Three years pass since Simon's death, and their little girl has grown into a bright, beautiful child. One day, Owen shows up after Carrie messages him saying she wants to see him just as friends. Owen spends time with the little girl, instantly bonding with her energetic, cheerful personality. During their conversation, Owen learns that Carrie hasn't seen Simon's mother since the funeral, which she didn't even attend herself. This surprises him. He gently suggests that maybe it's time to reach out and make peace, that Simon's mother is probably still hurting after all these years. He also shares that he quit the bookstore to focus entirely on music, finally chasing his dream. Though he agrees to just be friends, it's obvious he still has feelings for her. After considering Owen's advice, Carrie calls Simon's mother to apologize for how she treated her. She's planning a big birthday celebration in Simon's memory, and wants her there with everyone Simon loved. But his mother is still furious, angry that Carrie skipped the funeral, kept her from her granddaughter, and acted like she didn't care. She storms off, refusing to listen. Carrie chases her to the car, trying to convince her to stay, and meet her granddaughter. Just then, Owen calls and Carrie steps aside to answer. While she's distracted, Simon's mother drives away, still too hurt to forgive. That night, Carrie feels a strange rush of emotion, a mix of sadness, guilt, and longing. Owen's there, and she ends up getting closer to him, spending the night together. But the next day, she sits quietly with her daughter, looking through old pictures of Simon. She starts crying, completely lost in grief again. Later, during Simon's birthday gathering, Carrie replays everything in her head. All the happy moments, the harmony they shared, and that horrible day when he collapsed. Standing before everyone, Carrie finally opens up. She admits that she made many mistakes, that she hurt people, and never really knew how to apologize. She says that all her life, she didn't know how to face guilt, or say sorry, when she was wrong. Sometime later, she meets with Simon's mother again, the older woman tells her something profound. If Simon were still alive and Carrie had been the one to die, he would have taken care of their daughter just as well, maybe even better. Carrie agrees, but says if she had been sick, she would have told him the truth, not hidden it. Simon's mother smiles sadly and tells her to stop living in the past, to move forward, live her life, and find happiness again. As the party starts, Carrie pulls Owen aside and apologizes for bringing him to a celebration of her late husband. But Owen doesn't mind. He tells her he just wants to be there for her. Still, Carrie shakes her head. She can't do it. She tells him she regrets what happened between them, because deep down, she feels like she's betraying Simon. Being with Owen makes her feel lost, but Owen looks at her gently and says something that catches her off guard. Maybe it's okay to be lost sometimes. During her speech, Carrie stands before everyone and talks about Simon. She thanks everyone who helped organize the event Now it's full to the brim. Carrie smiles and says she's decided to use that money to travel somewhere with her daughter, to see the world, to breathe again. She thanks Simon for the life they shared. As she finishes, Carrie remembers a day long ago, when she was pregnant and Simon had asked her to promise that she'd take care of herself if anything ever happened to him. She'd laughed it off, thinking he was being dramatic, but he was serious. She promised him, then, that she'd never love or marry anyone else if something happened to him. That promise is why she can't be with Owen, no matter how much he cares for her. Simon was her one and only, and she intends to keep that vow. As she sings one final song, she suddenly sees Simon standing there, smiling at her. And in that moment, she knows she made the right choice.
