In the private room.

Sophia lounged back on the leather sofa in her loose sundress, legs crossed casual.

  • Lies of a Pregnant Bride   143 Tears That Wouldn’t Stop

    Charlotte’s lips trembled. Her vision blurred with tears, yet she didn’t dare blink.She stared at Sophia with a feverish intensity, as if trying to carve every detail of her into memory.Those brows, those eyes, that nose — they overlapped perfectly with the infant she lost twenty-three years ago.Iris… my Iris… Mommy is here…Her choked voice broke apart, tears spilling down her face.Her hand lifted toward Sophia, but hovered midair, trembling, waiting desperately for a response.Sophia stood there motionless, staring straight at the elegant woman in front of her, unable to react at all.Last night she had rehearsed this moment a thousand times.She had planned her expressions, her tone, when to sound sad, when to choke up just enough.She thought she would perform flawlessly like she always did.But now her face was frozen, blank, her throat stuffed with cotton.The polite M

  • Lies of a Pregnant Bride   141 She Is My Iris

    Francis pounded on his parents’ bedroom door.Mom, open the door!A moment later, the door was yanked open.Preston stood there in a deep blue robe, his eyes dark enough to spill frost.Francis, what the hell are you doing at this hour?Seeing his father’s perpetual stern face and hearing the scolding the second he opened his mouth made Francis’ temper spike.What hour? It’s only eleven. He slipped right past Preston into the room.You brat! All your manners been eaten by dogs?Preston grabbed the back of his collar with a sharp tug.In the scuffle, his gaze caught the shadowy edge of a tattoo peeking out from Francis’ neckline.His pupils shrank.You got another tattoo?None of your business! Francis jerked free.How is it not my business? A body is a gift from your parents, Preston hissed.Francis was about to shoot back when the bedroom lights flicked on.F

    Evelyn’s birthday celebration was extravagant, divided into a daytime banquet and a nighttime yacht party.Now the party was winding down, and the yacht was heading back to shore.She slipped away from the noisy crowd and walked alone to the stern.The sea was pitch-dark, stretching endlessly into the night.A cold breeze swept across the deck. Evelyn shivered and rubbed her bare arms.Need a wrap?A warm, gentle voice sounded behind her.Edgar stood half a meter away, holding a cashmere shawl with impeccable manners.Thank you. Evelyn accepted it and draped it over her shoulders.Edgar’s lips curled into a subtle, almost invisible smile.Just then, fireworks exploded overhead.Brilliant bursts lit up the sky, forming glowing words:“Happy Birthday, Evelyn.”Cheers erupted from the deck.Evelyn tilted her head up, entranced, the corners of her lips lifting.Edgar

    Alyssa listened quietly, but the tighter her chest pulled, the more she couldn’t help calling softly, Sophia…Sophia suddenly lifted her hand and gently stroked her still flat stomach.If I weren’t pregnant right now, I’d be popping champagne and celebrating till dawn.Alyssa leaned forward and grabbed her hand tightly. Don’t say that. There’s no one else here. Just me.I know you’re hurting. If you want to cry, then cry. You don’t need to hold it in with me.A tiny crack split through Sophia’s perfect mask.She yanked her hand back. Cry? Why would I cry?I finally got everything I ever dreamed of.I should be happy! I…She suddenly met Alyssa’s eyes, filled with raw, aching concern.Her words jammed in her throat.And the string she had held taut for years snapped in an instant.A strangled sob burst out of her.

    At the parentage testing center.Please fill these out. The nurse handed them two forms.Sophia held her pen delicately. When she reached the line for relationship testing, she paused before writing sibling confirmation.Doctor, I want to ask… does pregnancy affect the accuracy of the test?The doctor was sorting through supplies. He pushed up his glasses. Don’t worry, it won’t affect anything.Good. Thank you. Sophia lowered her head again, continuing to fill out the form.Francis suddenly froze mid writing. You’re pregnant?His voice was so loud that several nurses lifted their heads to stare.Sophia didn’t look up. I’m married. Isn’t it normal for me to be pregnant?But you’re only…Francis cut himself off just in time.He stared at her perfect side profile, his emotions swirling into something complicated.If her background were real.Father a university professor.
