when Leo shot Emma a cold look and pulled his arm away. Emma stumbled back, yelping in surprise.
Melody, teary-eyed, spoke up, “Ma’am, | don’t know what misunderstandings you have, but Mr. Reed and | are
only former lovers. There's nothing improper between us now.”
She glanced at me, her voice catching as she continued, “If someone has a problem with me, they should
confrontdirectly instead of resorting to such petty tactics!”
Emma, infuriated, raised her hand to strike Melody again, yelling, “You little-!"”
But Leo's face had already darkened. He stepped forward, pushed Emma away, and barked, “Security, escort her
out! And don’t let her back in!”
Emma was dragged out, shouting and protesting.
The top-floor office returned to silence, though the tension was now even thicker, like the
calm before a storm.

| wanted to explain, but Leo didn’t sparea glance. He turned and left with Melody by his side, not looking
back.

spreading lies.
She started typing to clarify, but | shook my head, stopping her. “It won't change their
minds.
Emilia put her phone down, hesitated, and asked, “So, what's really going on between you and Mr. Reed?
| remained silent for a moment before murmuring, “You were right. A marriage without
love can't last.”
My face was pale, and | looked as if | might break at any moment.
Emilia felt a pang of sympathy for me. “So, what are you planning to do?”
| pressed my lips together, meeting Emilia’s concerned gaze. Fighting back my emotions, I replied, “Don’t worry.

Back home, | ignored the countless calls from Emma, eventually blocking her number altogether.
At 10 p.m., Leo returned home.
| went up to him, ready to explain everything, but he spoke first, his tone cold. “I've already sent money to your
mother. Don’t bother Melody again.”
My face froze.
He sent her more money? Anger rose withinlodging in my throat.
Taking a deep breath, | struggled to keep my voice steady. “Believeor not, | didn’t bring my mother to the

Looking around the empty house, | finally felt the pain seep into my bones.
The next day was my prenatal checkup.

the hospital alone.
Partway through my appointment, an unfamiliar number called. It was a headhunter.
“Ms. Evans, we've heard about your situation and understand the difficulties you're facing. Would you be
interested in considering other opportunities?”

Clutching my medical records, | exited the obstetrics department. The doctor's words. echoed in my mind: Be
mindful of your emotions; the baby is not very stable.
As | made my way to the payment counter, | looked up and nearly laughed aloud at the absurdity of the scene
before me. Sometimes, laughter was the only way to cope with such
absurdity.
Melody was leaning against Leo, standing just ahead ofin line.
“I remember you once promised to givea family,” Melody said.
“I remember,” Leo replied.
