Semua Bab Kindergarten Homework: Track Mom's Period: Bab 1 - Bab 9

After they left, my phone buzzed with a new message. It was from Eloise's kindergarten teacher, Karen Linsell."Hi, Mrs. Garpin, Ellie just told me you got your period. Make sure you get plenty of rest! Her dad is picking her up today, right?"My hand clenched around the phone as I fought back my anger and typed a reply. "Yes, my husband is picking her up."The woman I'd been following online posted again. This time it was a screenshot of our conversation, along with a mirror selfie. She wore black stockings and lingerie that left little to the imagination."That woman's on her period again today. I bought something special to surprise him. He won't be able to resist me, especially since he says his wife is boring and uptight. I'm the opposite."So, the poster really was Karen. When I read that line about being boring and uptight, I froze. Had John said that about me?When he'd been broke and desperate, and when he was begging me to invest in the failing Garpin Corporation, he ce

John thought I was going to call the police. Fury flashed across his face. He snatched my phone away and smashed it on the ground. He roared at me."Enough, Emma! How much more unreasonable can you be today? I've been good to you. You have everything you need, and you're Mrs. Garpin. What more do you want?"What more did I want? I let out a bitter laugh and looked at John and Karen, enunciating each word clearly."I'm tired. I want a divorce. How about that?"John didn't hesitate for a second. "That's impossible. Emma, I've clearly spoiled you too much. You've become this way because I let you. You even tried to slap Karen. You need to be taught a lesson today."A flash of disappointment crossed Karen's eyes before she quickly covered it up. "John, I think you're right. Mrs. Garpin doesn't know how good she has it. She needs to be taught a lesson, or she'll forget her place."She paused, as if something had just occurred to her. A smile spread across her face as she turned to Joh

My eyes welled up with tears. I wanted to speak but didn't know where to begin. Finally, I just looked at him wearily."Xander, I don't want to see him anymore. I'm so tired. I'm just so tired."When Xander saw the exhaustion in my eyes, he didn't press further. He simply pulled the blanket up around me and spoke quietly. "Em, I'll always be here for you."He walked out of the hospital room and pulled out his phone to make a call."I want you to dig into John Garpin. Find out what the hell he did to put Em in this state. I want him to wish he were dead!"Back at the house, John had pulled up the security footage and discovered I'd left. When he saw me getting into another man's car, rage consumed him. He smashed the computer to pieces.Furious, he ordered people to track me down. He didn't even acknowledge Karen standing beside him.Eventually, he found out which hospital room I was in and rushed over. However, when he reached the door, the security guards stationed there blocke

When Karen saw that message, she was ecstatic. She couldn't wait to post online and brag."I'm pregnant! Hehehe. And he divorced his wife. I made it to the top!"Then, she took the ultrasound report to the office to find John.John looked surprised to see her. Assuming she'd come for money, his face turned cold."What are you doing here? A hundred thousand wasn't enough? I can give you more money. Just leave me alone."However, Karen looped her arm through John's with a bright smile. "John, this isn't about money. I'm here to give you a surprise."She pulled out the ultrasound report and beamed at him. "John, I'm pregnant. When are you going to marry me?"John's expression darkened instantly. He stared at her coldly. "What are you talking about? Pregnant?"Karen stroked her belly with a sweet smile. "That's right. I'm pregnant. You divorced Emma, right? You said she was boring and uptight. So, marry me. I promise you'll never be bored."She gazed at him intently, convinced she
