Ada’s gentleness stood in stark contrast to Sophia, who possessed a strong–willed nature.
Whenever a man was beside Ada, they instinctively would feel the urge to protect her.
“I’m feeling much better. Perhaps the little one sensed that Daddy was here, so it stopped fussing,”
Ada remarked before yfully changing the subject. “Jason, do you think our child will resemble

Jason was momentarily dazed, his expression serious as he nced at Ada’s still–t abdomen,
The unexpected pregnancy wasn’t part of his ns, and he grappled with the realization that the
fling from over a month ago had spiraled beyond his control.
“Jason.” Ada gently shook him. “Jason, what are you thinking? Tell me, who do you think our child
will resemble more?”
Ada’s gentle voice snapped Jason back to reality. He reached out to stroke her hair, offering
reassurance. “Perhaps a boy like me? And if it’s a girl, she’ll look like you. Now, focus on caring for
yourself and don’t overthink things.”
Upon hearing Jason’s response, Ada’s smile brightened, her eyes drifting to her belly as she gently
caressed it. Yet, beneath the surface of her affectionate gesture, a flicker of viciousness shed in

Standing just beyond the door, Sophia heard every syble of their conversation, her heart
pounding in disbelief.
Their words cut through her like sharpened des. Sophia’s grip on the wall faltered, her legs
threatening to give way beneath her. In a rush of disbelief, she felt her strength drain away, leaving

reminder of her shattered heart.
‘A boy like me and a girl like you, huh?” Their conversation repeated itself in Sophia’s mind. Finally,
she realized she was the outsider, a mere joke in this absurd rtionship. “No wonder he’s been
jetting off abroad so oftentely, she thought, her inner voiceced with self–mockery. “Seems he’s
been indulging in secret trysts with his first love in Vrun City.”
“What should I do now? Burst in like a shrew and p that cheating vixen?‘ Sophia’s mind raced
with thoughts. ‘But with Jason protecting her, I probably can’t even get near.
A sharp pain stabbed her chest, driving her to clutch at her heart instinctively. “Thinking about it
now, perhaps my failing heart wasn’t such a bad thing after all. Now, I could simply bide my time
until the end of my life,‘ she concluded bitterly.

document, the rustle of the paper. She watched as the torn remnants were swallowed by the
swirling water of the toilet, erasing any evidence of her pregnancy and medical
condition.
Sophia refused to seek sympathy from Jason by exploiting her pregnancy and delicate health
condition. The mere thought of his potential reaction, should he demand she terminate the
pregnancy upon learning of it, filled her with dread.

reality, she couldn’t evade the unsettling forced to choose. “It’s his beautiful first love, after all,” she
muttered, her thoughts tangled in a web of sorrow and resentment. “He had always treasured it like
a priceless jewel anyway.”
Late at night, Jason maneuvered his car into the garage after a long day. As he parked, he couldn’t

Though he took sce in the presence of Sophia’s belongings, the weight of Ada’s pregnancy bore
down on him, leaving him at a loss and mentally drained.
In the dimly lit bedroom on the second floor, Sophiay curled up in bed, her fingers tightly clutching

Suddenly, Sophia felt someone climb onto the bed beside her. An arm slipped around her from
behind, encircling her waist in a tight embrace. The familiar sensation of soft kisses grazing the
delicate curve of her neck sent shivers down Sophia’s spine, eliciting a turbulent churn in her
stomach.
As she grappled with the betrayal echoing in her mind, Sophia couldn’t help wondering, ‘How could

Memories of their seemingly harmonious rtionship and moments of his genuine care only
intensified her confusion. ‘Perhaps he had been a poison masquerading as honey?” she bitterly
pondered. “Did I unknowingly allow myself to be hurt and corroded in my longing for his
