Crying felt useless now, like the rice had turned into burnt porridge. No matter how much she tried to fix it, there was no way to bring it back to its original state. No amount of processing could yield something enjoyable for anyone. That was Cesilia's current predicament. Her body trembled as she stared at the two red lines displayed on the pregnancy test she had just ordered online.No wonder Cesilia had been feeling something was off about her lately. Tears flowed uncontrollably as she realized she was pregnant, something she hadn't expected. She remembered using contraception, but somehow she was pregnant now, and she was certain the fetus in her womb was Maxime's child."Why did this happen?" Cesilia whispered, unable to hide her fear as she looked at the pregnancy test. She had tried several tests from different brands, but the result remained the same: positive.Hastily grabbing her bag and car keys, she headed to the hospital to confirm the test results."Approximately four

"Yasmin said that Cesilia is currently at your house, and she said Cesilia came and claimed to be your lawful wife. What's worse, Cesilia also mentioned that soon Yasmin and Casandra will be kicked out of the house because Cesilia is pregnant with your child and you two will reconcile," Robert's words echoed in Alexander's ears.He wished he could fly straight home without having to navigate through the heavy traffic like he was now. Alexander was truly furious because Cesilia had casually disrupted his household even though they had no relationship anymore.Alexander was also worried that Casandra might fall for Cesilia's words, especially since he had tried calling her several times, but she refused to pick up his calls. Even Yasmin wouldn't answer his calls.He had no idea what was happening at home, and he was genuinely scared that he might not find Yasmin or Casandra when he got there. His heart couldn't function properly in situations like this. Especially when Casandra wasn't d

Cesilia was truly frustrated when her request to terminate her pregnancy was completely ignored by the doctor. Angrily, she returned home, unaware that someone had overheard their conversation earlier.Initially, this person idolized Cesilia greatly and even wanted to ask for her autograph and take a photo together. However, hearing Cesilia's request to terminate her pregnancy completely changed the intentions of this Cesilia fan. Instead, they were upset because the woman they had idolized, and even defended on social media during her divorce with Alexander, was now asking a doctor to terminate her pregnancy. This fan even joined in criticizing Casandra and labeling her as a cheap woman.Now, in front of this person's eyes, a scandal had been uncovered. Time seemed to prove who was guilty and deserved retribution. The Cesilia fan felt guilty.How could they have passionately defended and criticized Casandra, when their own idol had caused her own marriage to crumble? To make things w

As Casandra moved into the second trimester of her pregnancy, her condition began to improve. The nausea and dizziness had subsided, and she could now enjoy regular meals and rest. In fact, things had stabilized to the point that Frans decided to return to work at the hospital. However, he still came back to Alexander's house to rest. If he had a daytime shift, he would return home in the evening. Conversely, if he had a night shift, he would come back to Alexander's house during the daytime. This routine continued, with Frans visiting to check on Casandra's well-being until she gave birth.Frans' presence at Alexander's house had indeed brought about changes. Especially for Yasmin, who found herself in a state of inner turmoil. Robert had displayed interest in her and openly invited her out for meals or dates. Though there were no declarations of love, Yasmin knew that Robert had fallen for her. Yet, for some reason, she found herself more drawn to Frans, who seemed more laid-back an

"Daddy, are you still busy with work?"Alexander looked at his phone screen, checking who was calling. Yasmin. But the mention of "Daddy" made him reevaluate the voice on the other end of the call."It's me, Dad. My phone is out of battery, so I borrowed Yasmin's phone to call. She happened to be here, delivering juice. So, how's it going? Are you still busy?"Alexander sighed. "Who did you think it was?" He glanced at the watch on his wrist. "Kind of busy, dear. There's also Robert's event later. So, let me finish up, alright? I'm worried it won't be done by then, and this needs to…"Alexander paused. He stared at the lit screen of his phone. The call had been disconnected unilaterally, which meant he was in big trouble.He hurriedly shut his laptop down, aware that a heated argument with Casandra would take up a lot of time, and he needed to postpone work with a tight deadline."Sweetheart, I'm here." Trying to remain calm and summon all the patience he had, Alexander lay down besid
