<b>Chapter </b>74


    Reba felt her entire body trembling, and her heart was racing. All her emotions were jumbled up in her chest. She read the message again and became extremely angry.


    “The baby?” she muttered in disbelief. “Can’t he refer to our baby? Has he really forgotten about me and Lily?”


    She gripped her phone so tightly that her palm hurt. Suddenly, her body felt so light that it seemed her feet were no longer touching the ground. For the first time since Harvey left her, she felt numb as if all emotions had been drained from her chest.


    Then she heard Lily’s loud cries. She stood up quickly and without enthusiasm, picked Lily up from the crib.


    “Hey, sweetheart, are you thirsty?” she asked, smiling at Lily as if nothing had happened. After giving Lily some milk, she opened her phone again and blocked Harvey and Alicia’s ounts on social media.


    She left the room, carrying Lily, and ran into Sean, who wasing from the opposite direction. “Hey, how was your nap?” Sean asked, his face looking fresh as if he had just sshed water on it.


    “Not bad,” Reba replied, smiling. She wouldn’t let Harvey, Alicia, Victoria, or anyone else control her mood.


    “Coffee?” Sean asked, slipping into the bar.


    “Yes, please!”


    Reba flopped down on the sofa with Lily in her arms. She turned on the TV and sat rxed, as if she were living her perfectly normal life.


    “Here.” Sean came over, cing Reba’stte on the table before sitting next to her. He stared at Reba for a moment, sensing something was off about her.


    “Everything okay, Becky?”


    Reba looked up, smiling too broadly to hide her emotions. “Yeah, all good!” she said, giving a thumbs up.


    “No, it’s not. Are you sure?” Sean asked, raising an eyebrow.

    Reba fell silent, looking down at Lily for a moment before saying, “Harvey sent me a direct message earlier, saying that Lily and I shouldn’t havee back here, and he even referred to Lily as “The Baby‘ instead of Our Baby‘. Isn’t that crazy? I was <i>so </i>angry and disappointed, but I know such emotions will only harm me, so now I think I’m pretty stable.”


    Sean nodded.


    “You know you don’t have to hide anything in this house. Just be yourself. You can be angry, you can cry, you canugh, you can let out all your emotions here and only put on that mask when you’re in front of people. If you keep holding your emotions in, you’ll go crazy eventually,” he said casually.


    “Sometimes I hate myself for being so weak that they can easily y with me, but I won’t let that happen again,” Reba murmured.


    Suddenly, the TV channel showed a gossip news segment, and Reba’s face was prominently disyed between Alicia and Harvey, as if she were the third party between them.


    New York is buzzing! Reba Harper returns to New York after Harvey Specter and Alicia Fox announce their wedding ns!‘


    “Bullshit!” Reba shouted. Sean quickly took Lily from her arms and moved her to the sofabed.


    “Reba Harper? I haven’t even received the divorce decree! Why are they calling me by my maiden name? And what did they say? I came back because I heard Harvey and Alicia were getting married. What ridiculous news!” Reba ranted, her face red. She felt free to express her anger after Sean had repeatedly assured her to be herself.


    Sean sighed deeply.


    “Maybe we should contact thew firm handling your divorce, just in case the decree is indeed finalized,” he suggested calmly.


    Reba was stunned,


    “Could it be processed that quickly?” she asked, unsure.


    “Almost unbelievable, but they have ess to the court, so it’s possible,” Sean replied, somewhat doubtful.

    Reba hurriedly reached into her pocket, pulled out her phone, and called the Specter family’sw firm.

    “I’m Reba Harper, calling to inquire about my divorce case with Harvey Specter. Has the decree been issued?” she asked quickly.


    A few minutester,


    “How was it?” Sean asked after Reba ended the call.


    Reba swallowed hard, “Harvey expedited the process because we both agreed to the divorce and our decree just came through today…”


    “Do you feel relieved or disappointed?” Sean asked curiously as if nothing was holding him back from asking any question.


    Reba took a deep breath, feeling something huge stuck in her throat. “I don’t know. All I know is that after this, everything will truly change. I can’t even describe my feelings right now,” she said, not bothering to hold back the tears streaming down her cheeks.


    “Are you tired? I mean, if you’re not tired, I’d like to take you somewhere,” Sean said as he grabbed the remote and turned off the TV


    “Not really, where do you want to take me?” Reba asked, not too interested. If she followed the demon screaming in her head, she would love to buy a gun and go see Harvey, Alicia, and Victoria, then shoot them one by one. Content is ? by N?velDrama.Org.


    “You’ll see. You can get ready now; I’ll take care of Lily,” Sean said as he looked down at Lily, who was busy in her own world.


    Reba frowned but didn’t ask further. She stood up, kissed Lily on the head, and hurried back to her room. She stood in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection, and the anger suddenly resurfaced.


    She hated being yed. She hated that Harvey made her believe their rtionship was real. Quickly, she opened her walk–in closet, chose a bright red dress, then sat in front of her vanity and applied the same red lipstick.


    A few minutester, she walked confidently on her red stilettos, which echoed on the marble floor of the condo, making Sean turn to her in surprise.


    “Wow, all red. Is it a sign of revenge?” Seanmented, mesmerized by Reba’s

    Reba shrugged. “No time for revenge; I have a beautiful daughter to raise,” she replied casually.


    Sean smiled slightly. “Alright, I’ll be back in five minutes,” he said, then went to his room and returned five minutester in trousers and a well–fitted long john.


    “Did you pack Lily’s bag?” Sean asked as Reba moved Lily into the stroller. “Oh my God, I forgot! Wait, I’ll-”


    “No, stay here, I’ll pack it,” Sean interrupted, quickly walking to Reba’s room and packing Lily’s bag with milk bottles and diapers.


    “Ready to go!” Sean eximed with the diaper bag on his back, a small gesture that made Reba truly grateful to have met the right person, even if there were no romantic feelings between them.


    “So, where are we going?” Reba asked once they were in the car.


    Sean turned to her, “Vera’s Bridal. You need to fit your dress because we’re getting married the day after tomorrow.”


    Reba stared at him in shock. “What?”
