Yet, fate loves to play cruel jokes.
Just as I was about to give up on Zane and fight back, I found out I was pregnant with his child.
What made me even more desperate was that.
If I miscarried again, I would never have the chance to become a mother.
I don't know how I made it back home.
I don't know how Zane's wife got in.
She sat on my sofa, acting like the lady of the house.
"Miss Silverton, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
My gaze involuntarily fell on her rounded belly.
I heard that she was about to give birth.
Zane was looking forward to this child.
"Do you have time to talk?"
Her voice brought me back to reality, and I gave a pale smile. "What do you want to talk about?"
"Zane hasn't been home for a long time. Has he been with you all this time?"
"The company recently took on a project, so we've been busy... So..."
"So what? So you need to stick together day and night? Does the project require being in bed?"
「周小姐，你注意情绪。」 "Miss Lorien, please control your emotions." I looked at her belly and explained patiently. "During this time, it's not just Mr. Bryar and me who have been working overtime. The entire project team has been doing the same. If you don't believe me, you can ask others."
Elodie laughed coldly.
"Aurora, do you really think I don't know what kind of relationship you have with Zane?"
My eyes darkened, and I didn't say anything.
She was domineering. "You, you're just a third wheel, living in the shadows."
"Do you know why I didn't deal with you before? Because countless women throw themselves at Zane, and I'm tired of dealing with each one of them."
"Zane is a man. Let him take advantage of you; he won't lose out."
"But you shouldn't push your luck and cling to Zane."
She took out her phone and snapped a photo of me brazenly. "Aurora, are you trying to force my husband to divorce me and marry you?!"
I forced a smile.
I replied with dignity:
"Miss Lorien, the person who has been pestered is me, not Zane."
"Also, Zane and I have been together since high school. Counting the years, this is our tenth year together."
"When we hadn't broken up, he married you."
"The person who deserves the title of 'third wheel' is you, Miss Lorien, not me, Aurora."
I didn't want to argue with her pointlessly, so I lowered my voice:
"Miss Lorien, even though my boyfriend of ten years married you, I have never blamed you, another woman."
"Because I know that the one who betrayed me is Zane."
"This man is the root of all evil, and both you and I are victims."
"So, Miss Lorien, you should question Zane, not come here to make a scene."
Elodie's eyes widened, and her lips trembled as if in disbelief. "Impossible, Zane wouldn't do this to me..."
I shook my head and looked out the window, dazed.
I didn't even notice when she left.
I walked to the balcony and looked at the dark sky, feeling a mix of emotions.
The phone rang for a long time before I came to my senses and answered it.
It was my mother calling.
After the call connected.
My mother was crying, her voice hoarse and unable to stop.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
A terrible thought rushed to my mind, and as I grabbed my bag to rush home, I heard my mother's voice:
"Aurora, they found your father."
My phone slipped and fell to the ground.
It was as if thunder exploded above my head, and I stumbled backward, falling onto the cold floor.
My ears rang loudly.
Blood rushed to my head, and I gasped for breath, trying to calm down.
But I couldn't calm down.
I crouched on the ground and cried hysterically, sobbing until I couldn't catch my breath, until no more tears came.
That person was found.
The source of all my suffering has finally been found!
I slowly wiped away my tears and finally smiled.
The dark sky outside seemed to brighten at that moment.
