LOGINI plan on ordering some food using my husband's phone, yet I've noticed a remark that's been saved on the delivery app. "The food is for a pregnant lady. Please make sure to be hygienic and use less oil and salt when making the dishes." I can feel my heart sink. I turn my gaze toward the bathroom, where my husband is. I can't figure out why my husband, who's been firm about not wanting a child, has been ordering meals for pregnant women. After a moment of hesitation, I scroll through the delivery app's order history with shaky hands. Numerous orders have been placed with the same restaurant, one that specializes in making exquisite dishes designed for pregnant women. Each of these food orders costs more than ten thousand dollars. My husband's company address has been chosen as the delivery address, and he's also the recipient. … After exiting the delivery app, I sit on the couch and stare into space. As I look at my husband's well-defined muscles, I recall how he, who's about to hit 40, is suddenly quite invested in getting in shape over the past year. I blurt out asking, "Have you been ordering food to your office often lately?" My husband freezes for a split second. Then, he fixes me with a gentle gaze. "I do that once in a while. Why are you suddenly asking about that? By the way, I haven't had the sweet and sour meatballs you make in a long while. Can you make some for me so that I can bring them to the office for my lunch tomorrow?" I smile at him and agree to his request. Still, I toss and turn in bed as the remark about the pregnant lady in his phone keeps gnawing at me that night.

Riley was shocked. I smiled faintly. "You did very well as a receptionist. It's a receptionist's duty to treat all visitors equally and make sure they fill in the registration form before entering the office."I walked into the CEO's office and summoned the renovation team. "Tear everything inside this office out and remodel the place."My parents were relieved to see that I was hardly affected by the divorce. They even praised me."As expected of our daughter, we can see our younger selves through your grit and decisiveness."…Soon enough, our company's sales increased considerably under my lead.

Henry and Loretta begged for mercy as the police escorted them away.On the other hand, their friends who had mocked and criticized me earlier were quietly exchanging glances.Thomas stepped forward. He bowed slightly and apologized to me."We're really sorry. My friends and I were tricked by Henry and Loretta. We accused you of being the mistress without checking the facts first."We'd like to offer our apologies for any offense we may have caused. Could you perhaps consider not suing us?"Someone beside him chimed in, "He's right. We were deceived and misled by the marriage certificate Loretta posted on her Instagram account. If we had known that you were the lady from the famous Miller family, we would never dare to offend you in any way."I responded monotonously, "Clearly, all of you treated me with scorn and disdain earlier because you thought I was a nobody."In that case, I'm sorry, but I won't accept any of your apologies. Please contact my attorney and do what you must
Thomas Graham, the man with the buzz cut, picked up the wedding certificate. He cast a glance at Loretta before looking at me.He seemed rather confused. "Did I remember it wrongly? I remember that Loretta also posted their wedding certificate on Instagram about a year ago."Someone from their group chimed in, "I've seen it too. I can search through her Instagram account for that post and show it to you all."A year ago, Loretta had posted two photos of her and Henry's wedding certificate. A caption was included in the post."I'm so happy to be able to spend the rest of my life with the person I love the most."I had a sudden realization.
