Chapter 4

Back home, I ordered takeout and had it delivered to the hospital. I chose a place with the worst reviews.

The chicken soup I made myself was for me to eat, of course. I had lost a child too, so I needed some nourishment.

So, I ate what I cooked, and she could have the takeout.

After I finished eating, I'd take it to her.

How amusing, I've ended up in the position of serving my husband's mistress.

I discovered I was pregnant a year ago, just three days after learning that Finn and Charlotte had a child together.

After losing the baby, I had someone investigate the situation thoroughly.

It turned out that Finn and Charlotte had been involved even before our marriage, and things only intensified after we wed.

Finn and I had been married for four years, and their child was four years old. Ironically, Leo was conceived during what should have been our honeymoon period.

Unfortunately, it was during my honeymoon that they conceived their child.

I couldn't understand why, if they were already involved, they didn't just get married. Why did Finn have to marry me and ruin my life? Was it just for the thrill?

As for my in-laws, they knew about the child too, and even helped Charlotte with childcare regularly.

I didn't want to know the reasons anymore, since Finn was now just a pile of ashes.

The day George took Leo for the DNA test, I didn't go with them. I said, "Dad, I trust you. I'll just look at the results when they're ready. If the child really is Finn's, I'll divide the inheritance as required. Don't worry."

George nodded, "That's how a good wife should behave. Be generous. Leo is also your child now, and you should treat him as your own in the future."

I thought to myself, "Really?"

Once the estate was divided, I planned to take my share and disappear.

What? Did they expect me to stay and serve Charlotte and her illegitimate son just because I married into their family?

Watching George's confident stride as he left, I felt disgusted.

His son had just died, and he didn't seem particularly grieved. All he cared about was getting his grandson recognized.

But when the test results came back, he would be devastated, wouldn't he?

His precious heir was about to go down the drain.
