Chapter 2

I closed the bedroom door and calmly walked over to them.

Sophia grabbed my hand, tearfully trying to explain.

"Lily, I just got divorced. James was only comforting me, don't misunderstand."

I silently let her hold my hand, my gaze lowering slightly to her snow-white arm.

So she was divorced.

No wonder.

No wonder James had been leaving early and coming home late lately, too busy to even care about his own company.

I let out a soft laugh, feeling indescribably desolate inside.

In two years of marriage, James had never taken a day off work to spend time with me.

But it turns out it wasn't because he was a workaholic by nature, just that I wasn't worth him pausing for.

These two years, to have more time with him, I had voluntarily taken on the company's business.

I accompanied him working overtime, attended social events with him.

I was even pregnant now and nearly miscarried because I was so busy with work.

And now, he was with Sophia while I endured the pain of medical exams alone.

He had even brought her back to our marital home, openly holding hands with her.

I felt like crying, but also felt I deserved this.

Who told me to marry him knowing he always liked Sophia?

Who told me to...start liking him ten years ago?

Taking a deep breath, I felt my lower abdomen start to cramp again.

Silently clutching the test results in my pocket, I forced a smile at Sophia.

"It's fine, I don't misunderstand."

Turning around, I handed the test results to James.

James looked at me with dark eyes, but didn't reach out to take it.

I shrugged, feigning nonchalance: "You're going to be a father."

James' eyes flickered, and he finally took the thin A4 paper.

He quickly scanned the test results.

After a while, he calmly looked up and said to me without any emotion:

"Go tell Grandpa the good news tomorrow. Don't go to the office these next few months, just stay home and take care of the pregnancy."

Sophia also leaned over to look at the test results.

Then, she put on an expression of pleasant surprise and looked at me with shining eyes.

"Lily, you're going to be a mom?! Congratulations!"

I didn't miss how she deliberately omitted James' role.

But seeing James' indulgent look, I could only swallow my words.

I smiled at her and softly said: "Thank you."
