The next day, sun bright overhead.

Joy had everything planned by early morning.

The driver picked up the Principal and his wife first, then swung by Sunnyside Court for Walter.

The old man was in high spirits, delighted at the prospect of a day out with his former principal and wife.

"Principal, Mrs. Yates, Grandpa let's not rush through everything today. Pick a few interesting spots, take it slow," Joy said, smiling, twisting around from the front seat to address the three elders.

    Joy flushed as the three of them kept at her."Stop with the nonsense. We're a couple on paper, you all know that."She paused, then added, "Things have finally gotten a little better between us. At first he was so furious he wanted to tear me apart. Now whatever kindness he shows me is entirely because of the baby."Derek set down his fork. "So what if it's contractual? Feelings build over time."Zoe pressed in. "Joy, you should really try. You're gorgeous, you've got a great personality, you're an amazing cook. If Nathaniel isn't tempted, something's wrong with his eyes.""Why not test the waters tonight? Dress a little sexier, maybe lean over right in front of him""Megan" Joy's face went even redder.Megan threw up her hands. "You're stunning show even a little of that feminine charm and he won't stand a chance."Derek added, "With your charm, seducing a man would be easy."Joy shook her head, helpless. "You're overthinking. I've known him for over two years. Nathaniel Cross isn't

    "Joy, do you think I'm selfish?" Christy asked.Joy snapped back. "People make different choices. I'm not one to judge.""Jason won't agree to a divorce, but I have proof of the affairs." Christy smiled bitterly. "I can file on my own."Joy nodded. "Nathaniel can connect you with a lawyer.""Okay, sure."The door swung open and Nathaniel walked in.He looked at Joy. "Time to go."Joy stood. "I'm heading out. Call me if you need anything.""Thank you, Joy." Christy squeezed her hand. "You've gone through so much trouble for me this time."Joy shook her head, following Nathaniel out."Going into the office tomorrow as usual?""Mm.""Should we swing by and have them check your back while we're here? See how healing's going?""No need, I'm much better.""Better to be safe," Joy insisted.He didn't argue again. After the check-up, he pulled out his phone, tapped a few things, and told Joy:"I sent you the lawyer's contact. Forward it to Christy. Leave it to the professionals so you don't n

    The next afternoon, after waking, Joy made soup, packed up some tonics, and took them to the hospital.In the ward, Christy sat propped against the headboard, looking better than she had the night before.Seeing Joy, she forced a smile. "Joy, thank you for going through all this again.""Don't call it trouble." Joy poured out the soup and handed it over. "Drink it while it's hot."Christy sipped slowly while Joy waited.Once she'd finished, Joy packed the thermos away, sat beside the bed, and asked softly, "What are you planning to do now?"Christy was quiet a long moment, eyes lowered. "Without him, what would I even do? I don't know how to do anything.""The world's bigger than this. If you're willing to stand up, there's so much you can try. You can learn something new, find work, even the simplest job. You can stand on your own two feet.""On my own?" Christy gave a self-deprecating laugh."Could I even? I've been with him since college. I'm so used to leaning on him that I can't

    On the way to the hospital.Nathaniel contacted the medical team, asking them to reach Jason directly.Half an hour later, the light above the operating room came on.The doctor stepped out to address the family. "It's serious. The bleeding isn't controlled. We need to perform emergency intervention immediately. We need a signature."Jason arrived in a rush, still reeking of alcohol. The sight of Joy and Nathaniel made him visibly panic.He took the consent form from a nurse, signing it fast.Joy sat on the bench, eyes locked on the door.Grief and fury churned in equal measure. She turned to Nathaniel, eyes glassy, brimming."The baby's already over eight months. Christy showed me the 4D ultrasound that's a real life in there, already alive. She must be devastated."Tears slid down her pale cheeks.Watching her grief, something constricted tight in Nathaniel's chest.He wrapped an arm around her shoulder, pulling her close."Don't think about it," he said, voice rougher than usual. "

    Joy went back to the guest room, booting up her laptop immediately, processing the day's footage.In the study, Nathaniel finished a stack of emails, rubbing his temples.His gaze drifted, unbidden, toward the corner bookshelf.The book's still there.He stared at it for a few seconds, then almost against his own will stood, crossed over, bent down, pulled it out.He carried it to the couch, sat, hesitated, then opened it.The book broke down by trimester, detailed care guidance from early pregnancy through postpartum.Joy's about... seventeen weeks along now.His finger hovered over the table of contents.He flipped to the fourth section: Weeks 17–20.Chapter one: Can We Still Have Sex?Chapter two: Best Positions During PregnancySnap.Nathaniel slammed the book shut like it had burned him.His ears flushed visibly fast, heat crawling up into his cheeks.His pulse kicked up, racing.Absolutely terrible book.He cursed internally, but his eyes drifted straight back to it anyway.Afte

    Joy took a breath, lifting her head, meeting Nathaniel's eyes directly. "I'm a food blogger.""A food blogger?" He stopped mid-step. "That's your job?"Joy nodded.He took the phone out of Coco's hand.Coco sighed, not daring to fight for it again.Nathaniel frowned, swiping through the homepage, scanning the video list and captions fast.Every thumbnail featured beautifully plated dishes only ever hands on screen, nothing else.Reading his serious expression, Joy's stomach tightened, rushing to add:"Don't worry I've never once shown my face. There's no exposure risk for the family."Nathaniel looked up from the screen, still frowning, voice flat with disdain. "What does a blogger like this even make in a month?""Around two to three thousand, depending on the traffic."Mostly because she didn't post often, kept content practical, and rarely took sponsorships."Two or three thousand?" His frown deepened. "Are you short on money? Didn't I already give you a card?""Brother, that's not
