    Skr hadn’t expected Minerva to be so direct with her.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    She had suspected Minerva might be pregnant when she saw her dry- heaving in the restaurant


    earlier. Knowing how perceptive Skr was, Minerva figured she had already guessed her situation


    when she first started dry–heaving in the restaurant,


    Minerva smiled and said, “I’ve scheduled for an abortion a few days from now. The difort I’ve


    been experiencing over the past month or two is likely due to the pregnancy.”


    “Are you sure about this?” Skr could see the hesitation in Minerva’s


    eyes.


    If Minerva were truly indifferent to the baby, she wouldn’t have shown such visible struggle and


    doubt when talking about the abortion.


    Minerva nodded. “It’s better for the child not to be born into a family without a father. Also, I’m not


    prepared to be a single mother.”


    She then added, “Can you keep this a secret?”


    She didn’t want her family or the Jakeman family to know about her pregnancy. If the Jakemans


    found out, Rowan would be forced to marry her, even if he didn’t harbor any feelings for her.


    If Rowan hadn’t been involved with someone else, Minerva might have considered a marriage of


    convenience–one where both parties benefited. However, Rowan and Jenny’s passionate


    rtionship


    made the situation unbearable.


    Skr understood and solemnly nodded. “Okay.”


    After leaving Minerva’s home, Skr went straight to Gxy Vi. Joe


    was home, and so was Howard, who was conducting a medical check -up on him.


    Seeing Skr return, Howard greeted her first. “Good evening, Mrs. Martin.”


    Skr nodded in response. “Hello, Dr. Grey.”


    Joe looked up and said, “There’s a strawberry mille crepe cake over there. Try it and let me know if


    it’s good.”


    “I bought it on my way here from a bakery trending in short videos,” Howard quickly added.


    In truth, he had bought the cake for himself. He’d feared it would be sold out when he finished


    examining Joe. To his surprise, Joe, who usually didn’t care much for desserts, had asked for a


    slice of the cake he had waited an hour to buy.


    Howard initially thought Joe’s sudden craving might be due to his recent injury and the dietary


    restrictions that followed, which caused him to want things he typically ignored. But now, he realized


    the cake was meant for Skr.


    Howard hadn’t expected Joe to dote on his wife so much after getting married. He was surprised to


    see Joe’s focus shiftpletely to Skr the moment she walked in.


    Skr’s eyes lit up when she saw the cake. “I think I’ve heard of this bakery before, but the lines are


    always long. Thanks, I’ll give it a try.”


    As she opened the box, the rich aroma of strawberry filled the air. The cake was clearly made with


    high–quality ingredients, and the slices were neatly packed.


    She picked up a slice and took a small bite. Her eyes immediately squinted in delight. “It’s


    delicious.”


    A wave of happiness washed over her. She had been a little hungry on


    3/3


    her way home, and finding such a treat waiting for her was a pleasant surprise.


    After Joe finished his check–up, he walked over while getting dressed. “Is it really that good? Let


    me try.”


    Skr was about to get him a slice when he bent down and took a bite from the slice she was


    eating.


    The gesture caught Howard off guard. It wasn’t just a casual act of affection–something deeper was


    behind it.


    Seeing what Joe did, Skr asked, “Is it good?”


    “Yeah, it’s not bad,” Joe replied, though he wasn’t really tasting the cake–his gaze was fixed on


    Skr.


    Skr felt a bit self–conscious under his intense gaze. “You…”


    For the past few days, the way Joe looked at her carried an


    indescribable weight. With Howard present, she didn’t feel


    “Absolutely!” Howard responded eagerly.
