Semua Bab In Love With The Wrong Man: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Chapter 41Sitting in class, Kate could barely focus. Her professor’s voice droned on, but all she could think about was what happened two days ago. Liam’s public outburst, the accusations, the humiliation—everything felt like a whirlwind she couldn’t escape. And then there was Seth, so calm, so steady, yet completely unaware of the storm brewing inside her.Her thoughts spiraled, leading her to an unsettling conclusion. She might be pregnant. The idea had been gnawing at her since that night. She refused to take a test, fearing what confirmation would mean. Closure felt too final, too real, and she wasn’t ready for it. The guilt sat heavy on her chest. Somehow, she felt it was her fault—every bit of it. Her fingers clenched the edge of her desk as her eyes welled up. She blinked back the tears, refusing to break down in front of her classmates.When class ended, she quickly turned in her assignment and rushed out of the building. She needed air, space—anything to escape the suffocati

Chapter 43 Midnight crept in, but Kate was nowhere near sleep. The glow of her phone screen was the only light in the dark room, illuminating the anxious lines on her face. She had been restless for hours, unable to shake the nagging feeling that something was off. Finally, she gave in to the impulse and opened her social media. Her phone kept buzzing, notifications piling up from the post. She rolled over, scrolling mindlessly, until her blood turned cold. She had gone viral. Not in a good way. People weren’t just talking about the competition anymore. They were talking about Seth. About her. The moment the screen loaded, her stomach twisted and She suddenly realized that what she wanted, her popularity had turned into something else. Her post about the Grand Opera selection had exploded overnight, but it wasn’t just about the competition anymore. It was Seth. Someone had taken his picture and started a storm of speculation. Strangers were analyzing every detail, trying

Seth had taken her to a quiet, upscale restaurant on the outskirts of the city. The ambiance was warm, the lighting dim but cozy, with a soft hum of classical music playing in the background. Their table was near a window, giving them a view of the city lights shimmering in the distance. Kate played with her napkin, trying to suppress the nervous energy bubbling inside her. Public dates weren’t their thing. At least, not until now. Seth, ever composed, reached for his glass of wine, taking a slow sip before meeting her gaze. “You’re quiet,” he noted. Kate glanced at him, picking at her food. “I was just wondering…” She hesitated before finally asking, “Why now? Why are we suddenly out in the open like this?” Seth leaned back in his chair, exhaling. “Because I don’t want to hide anymore.” Kate raised an eyebrow. “You didn’t mind hiding before.” “I did.” His voice was soft but firm. “I just didn’t realize how much until recently.” Kate set down her fork, tilting her head s

Chapter 47Kate sat in the waiting room of the clinic, her fingers nervously tapping against the armrest of the chair. The test was just a formality, she already knew. The subtle changes in her body, the fatigue, the nausea, it all pointed to one thing. But she needed to see it for herself, to have that confirmation in her hands. When the nurse finally called her name, Kate followed her into the examination room, her heart pounding. The doctor was kind, her smile reassuring as she handed Kate the results. “Congratulations,” the doctor said warmly. “You’re pregnant.” Kate stared at the paper, her vision blurring with tears. It was real. She was going to be a mother. Later, as she sat in her car, Kate took a deep breath and dialed her mother’s number. The phone rang twice before her mom picked it up. “Kate?” her mother’s voice was hesitant, almost apologetic. “Mom,” Kate began, her voice trembling. “I… I need to talk to you.” There was a pause, and then her mother said sof

Chapter 49 The afternoon sun streamed through the windows of Kate’s apartment, casting a warm glow over the living room. She sat on the couch, her phone pressed to her ear, listening to her mother’s excited chatter about wedding plans. Her mother’s voice was animated, filled with the kind of enthusiasm that only a parent could muster when discussing their child’s future. But Kate’s mind was elsewhere, her thoughts swirling with uncertainty and a growing sense of unease. “Mom, I’m not ready to get married,” Kate finally interjected, her voice firm but gentle. She twisted a strand of hair around her finger, a nervous habit she had carried since childhood. “I still have so much to figure out. College, my career, this baby… I just don’t think now is the right time.” There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Kate could almost picture her mother’s face—her brows furrowed, her lips pressed into a thin line of disappointment. But when her mother spoke again, her tone was softer, m
