On our wedding anniversary, I wanted to drive out and buy a cake to celebrate. But the moment I got into the car, I noticed the driver's seat had been pushed forward. There were also a few bread crumbs scattered inside. I called my husband. "Has anyone been driving my car lately?" His voice carried unmistakable guilt. "My cousin borrowed it yesterday for the whole day. Why?" His cousin was six-foot-three—twice my size. More importantly, he was severely allergic to wheat and avoided pastries like the plague. I let out a soft laugh, hung up, and drove straight to the bakery my husband had been frequenting lately. Inside, a sweet-looking girl was chatting and giggling with her coworker. "So what if I'm short? I have to move the seat all the way forward when I drive, but at least someone spoils me!" The moment she saw me, her carefree smile vanished, replaced by panic. I crossed my arms and tilted my head as I looked at her. Lucas had always told me I was too tall—not quite his preferred type. Looks like he'd finally found himself a petite little lover.

"Please forgive me, okay?" Lucas pleaded.I ignored him and raised a hand to hail a cab.Lucas refused to give up."If you're still angry, then hit me again. Hit me until you feel better, okay? Jessica, please… I really can't live without you…"A taxi pulled over.I opened the door, then turned and threw the bouquet of roses he had handed me onto the ground.Before leaving, I smiled at him and said, "Oh, I forgot to tell you—my father has already withdrawn his investment from your company. And if you dare harass me again, I'll make sure you can never survive in this city."No. That wasn't quite right. Without my father's support and mine, he never would have survived in the first place.I didn't look again at his utterly bloodless face. I slammed the car door shut and headed for the airport.While checking in, my father called.He said he had already ordered my favorite dishes to be prepared, and the whole family was waiting for me to arrive.He had even deliberately cleared

Just then, Lucy walked out of the examination room.From where I stood, I could clearly see that the moment Lucas turned to look at her, she instantly switched into a weak and pitiful act.She gave a frail smile."The doctor said the baby's safe. Thank goodness..."Before she could finish speaking, Lucas slapped her hard across the face, sending her crashing to the floor.The man's expression was terrifyingly dark, his face twisted with murderous hatred."You bitch. Why didn't you just die together with that bastard child?"Clutching her cheek, Lucy cried miserably."Lucas, what are you talking about...?"She clearly thought acting vulnerable would awaken Lucas's protective instincts and make him soften toward her again.But this time, he didn't.He hurled the paternity test directly in front of her.The moment Lucy saw the contents, panic flooded her face."It's fake! This is fake! Someone's framing me!"I had known from the start that Lucy wouldn't admit it so easily. T

Lucas wrapped Lucy tightly in his arms and shouted harshly, "An ambulance! Hurry and call an ambulance!"Suddenly, someone in the crowd raised a hand."I study alternative medicine! Let me take a look!"I watched as the young woman rushed over and skillfully checked Lucy's condition.Yet, when my head had been split open and bleeding, she had chosen to stay silent.A moment later, the girl's expression changed.Lucas asked anxiously, "How is Lucy?"The girl hesitated before answering, "She might be pregnant. From what I can tell, she's definitely showing all the signs."Lucas froze.Then joy instantly spread across his face."Are you serious?"The other relatives immediately bombarded her with excited questions.The girl quickly added, "She still needs to go to the hospital for a proper examination."Just then, the ambulance arrived.Lucy, who had fainted from shock, was carried into the ambulance. The remaining guests gradually dispersed as the hastily ended party fell a

The moment he heard my voice, Lucas instinctively pushed Lucy out of his arms."Jessica… why are you here?"A guilty smile hung awkwardly on his face, but his eyes darted everywhere except toward me. He didn't even dare meet my gaze.I arched a brow and asked coolly, "That's strange. Do I need to report to you before returning to my own house?"My words instantly sparked outrage among the guests.One of the relatives stormed forward."Who the hell are you? This is Lucy's house. What does it have to do with you?""Seriously, there are all kinds of shameless people these days."The others immediately joined in.I didn't waste a single word arguing with them. Instead, I walked straight to the front door and pressed my hand against the fingerprint scanner.With a sharp beep, the door unlocked.Everyone froze in shock.But then the same relative suddenly spat on the ground and shouted, "So that's it! You secretly changed the locks!"A few younger relatives chimed in indignantly

Lucy blushed, smiling sweetly as she said, "Mom, you've had a hard time raising me. As your daughter, now that I'm grown, I'll take good care of the family."The others immediately chimed in with praise."The Lacher family is so lucky to have Lucy!"Another middle-aged man raised his glass."Luc

I never expected that after all this time, I would see my treasured bracelet on someone else's wrist.Just as the thought crossed my mind, a message from Lucas popped up on my phone.Lucas: [Jessica, did you go to the bakery?]My heart skipped.The moment I looked up, I caught Lucy hurriedly hid

"Welcome—"The girl's composed smile disappeared the instant our eyes met.Panic flashed across her face.Lowering her gaze, she stammered awkwardly, "W-What would you like to order...?"The moment I looked at her, I knew she was the one.A faint smile curved my lips as I sized her up."Two eg
