Chapter 3

My sudden appearance shattered their cozy family picture.

All three of them stopped smiling.

I walked up to Juliet, holding up the divorce papers. "I'm here to talk about the divorce."

Juliet's face darkened instantly.

Leo immediately stepped in front of her, shielding her behind him. He glared at me.

"Alex, Juliet is about to give birth. Please don't harass her right now. Stress is dangerous for a pregnant woman!"

"Step aside," I said coldly, trying my best to suppress my anger.

Leo spoke with a self-righteous tone. "Alex, I have no intention of breaking up your marriage.

Once the baby is born, I will take him away. It won't affect your marriage at all. There is no need to take your anger out on Juliet.

I'm over thirty with no wife and no kids. Juliet only agreed to have this baby because she felt sorry for my loneliness.

As a man, you should show some generosity!"

I laughed out loud at his sheer audacity.

"You're absolutely right," I sneered.

"A man should be generous.

How about this? I'll give you Juliet and Kate too. Is that generous enough for you?"

Leo stared at me, bewildered.

"Enough!" Juliet yelled. Her face was incredibly pale as she turned to Leo.

"Leo, take Kate and grab some snacks outside. I need to talk to Alex alone."

Once Leo and Kate walked away, Juliet stood up, holding her back.

She snatched the divorce papers from my hand and, without even looking at them, ripped them into shreds.

"Alex, I told you, I'm not divorcing you. Get that through your head!

I'm giving birth in two weeks. Don't you dare cause complications with my pregnancy!"

I knelt down, picked up the torn pieces of paper, and said quietly, "If you won't sign, I'll file a lawsuit."

Juliet became hysterical. "I'm pregnant! The court won't grant a divorce while I'm pregnant!"

"The baby isn't mine."

"So what?

You don't have a DNA test yet! The judge won't rule in your favor without proof!"

I let out a tired sigh. "Juliet, since you and Leo love each other so much,

and you're carrying his child, why are you holding onto me?"

Juliet went quiet for a few seconds. Her hostile expression softened, and she lowered her voice.

"Alex, Leo and I grew up together.

He has loved me for over ten years, and he stayed single just for me. I couldn't bear to watch him suffer.

I only wanted to give him a baby so he wouldn't be alone. It was just to fulfill his wish.

But Alex, the only man I truly love is you."

Her words didn't move me. They only made me want to throw up.

She loved me, so she slept with another man?

How could she say something so shameless with such a straight face?
