<b>Chapter </b><b>86 </b>
After Theodore arranged everything that day, he felt somewhat at ease and decided not to concern himself with the Mitchell sisters‘ affairs any longer.
However, he did not expect that, two monthster, he would unexpectedly hear from a friend that Reba was
pregnant!
Reba was two months along, which meant there was a good chance the baby was conceived that night.
Theodore’s heart was once again thrown into turmoil. He was frustrated,
But before he could figure out what to do, J came bouncing up to him, beaming with joy as she said she was
pregnant, too.
She seemed oblivious to the fact that the man that night wasn’t him, happily thinking she was carrying his child.
At that moment, Theodore suddenly felt a surge in getting back to Reba.
If Reba made him feel so ufortable, then he needed to make her feel the same way.
He <b>had </b>people find out Reba’s prenatal checkup schedule and then deliberately took J for a checkup at the
same time, ensuring Reba would witness it.
J, shameless as she was, unted their rtionship in Reba’s face as soon as they got to the hospital.
Theodore would never forget that day. Seeing Reba’s pale face as J gleefully informed her that the child
she was carrying was <b>his </b>and even advised Reba to terminate her pregnancy filled him with a twisted sense of
satisfaction<b>. </b>
He felt so good that day!
Reba deserved that!
She was just paying the price for messing around!
Theodore realized that revenge could be a hell of a drug. Seeing Reba in pain was like a shot <b>of </b>adrenaline to
his heart.
So, he allowed J to continue her antics, letting her unt and show off in front of Reba.
He couldn’t help but feel good every time Reba broke down.
Later, J persuaded him to divorce Reba.
How could he ever be interested in someone like J?
He could never be attracted to a woman as despicable <b>as </b><b>J </b>in his lifetime!
But the idea of divorce had been tempting.
Reba was filthy and not fit to be his wife.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.
After pondering for a few days, Theodore had someone draft a divorce agreement and force Reba to sign it.
He saw the devastation on her face again, even more desperate than before.
But for some reason, when Reba finally signed the divorce papers, and they were one courthouse trip away from being officially over, he felt…surprisingly unsettled.
Every night, he couldn’t shake the memory of Reba’s gentle care while he was in aa.
A vegetative person wasn’tpletely oblivious. In those months before he woke up, his mind was clear.
During that time, Reba was the only one who was stuck by his side and took care of him.
The caregiver was rough and careless, causing him pain and difort during baths. He wanted tosh out, but he couldn’t control his body, let alone speak or fight back.
Whenever Reba was home, she’d take over, bathing him with gentle, careful hands.
Her touch was always light, gentle, and careful, making him feelfortable.
Theodore realized he’d gotten lost in his memories and quickly snapped back to the present, focusing on his grandparents. He selectively shared parts of the story involving J.
Melissa was utterly baffled as she heard this, but she knew one thing for sure and quickly asked, “Theodore, did you say Reba used to fool around with others? And she had once terminated her pregnancy at seventeen?”
Theodore’s face darkened at the mention of this, and he nodded. “Yes.”
“That’s impossible!” Melissa immediately denied it without a second thought.
Her
gaze was firm as she looked at him. “Theodore, before you married Reba, we did a background check. Reba was definitely a good and diligent girl!
“The Edwards family wouldn’t have epted just any woman for you, even if you were in aa!”
Theodore was stunned by her words, He stared at his grandmother nkly.
Sam frowned as well. He stared at Theodore, questioning, “Theodore, who did you have investigate this matter?”
‘Investigate?‘ Theodore instantly thought of Wyatt.
Wyatt was his college friend. They had known each other <b>since </b>university and had always been close. However, Wyatt didn’te from a well–off family, so after graduation, he had to look for jobs everywhere instead of inheriting a family business like the rest of them.
Theodore knew Wyatt was good at grades. So, he immediately had Wyatt stay and join the Edwards Group as his. assistant.
Wyatt had proven himself to be a remarkably capable assistant during his years working with Theodore.
However, now that Theodore started to think about it, Wyatt seemed…a bit odd when things came to Reba.

Wyatt and Reba were not very close, yet he repeatedly spoke well of her, suggesting that Theodore should trust Reba’s character.
When Theodore was exacting his revenge on Reba, Wyatt even tried to stop him, warning him several times that he might regret it.
With that <b>in </b>mind, Theodore suddenly stood up and said, “Grandma, I have to go. I’ll be backter.”
He then left in a hurry.
Melissa watched her grandson’s retreating figure with a sigh. She couldn’t help but think that there must be some kind of misunderstanding between Theodore and Reba.
As she pondered the situation, Melissa’s thoughts turned to Reba’s two children, and a smile returned to her face.
At least Reba’s children were the true blood of the Edwards family. They needed to talk to Reba about changing the children’sst names to Edwards.
At the Aotori shooting base, Reba had been waiting all day when she finally received a notification from the Lovey Princess crew – she had passed the audition! The director, Ruth Porat, wanted her on set the next day for promotional photos.
Thrilled, Reba quickly messaged Charlie to let him know she hadnded the role!
She did it!
She had won the lead role in Lovey Princess all on her own!
Not only that, Reba shared the good news with Lynn as well, bursting with excitement.

Charlie was busy filming and didn’t see her message right away.
Lynn, however, saw it immediately. But unlike Reba’s excitement, Lynn was calm and didn’t seem to be surprised.
This was exactly what she had anticipated. She had been keeping a close eye on Reba during rehearsals and knew she had a natural talent for the role.
She replied, smiling: [Congrattions.]
Lynn understood what it meant for a neer tond a role through their own efforts. It was definitely something to celebrate, even if just a little.
[Thank you, Lynn, for looking out for me these past few months. I wouldn’t have improved so quickly without your constant coaching and guidance.] Reba’s message popped up immediately.
Lynn looked at the message and chuckled.
Reba was a kid worth investing in.
Gratitude was a raremodity these days.
[You earned it through your hard work. Keep it up!] Lynn typed back after a moment’s thought.
[I will!] Reba responded almost instantly.
