Semua Bab Three Years of Lies: The Fake Wife’s Mega Comeback : Bab 1 - Bab 10

In front of the Colin Group building, the vehicle came to a stop. A delivery man with a huge bouquet of red roses walked past her toward the door as Haley emerged. She instantly recognized the unusual wrapping—the pricey florist downtown, Kieran’s favorite. She walked behind the delivery man into the elevator. She caught a glimpse of the card nestled among the roses as the doors slid shut: "Happy Birthday, Lydia. Love always, K" She froze. Her lungs were empty of breath. It was more than simply their fourth anniversary today. Lydia’s birthday fell on the same day. Kieran’s claim that he was "working late" was just another fabrication, a pretext for celebrating with his true wife at work. Haley’s nails dug into her palms as she tightened her fists. The doors of the elevator opened. Before she could move forward, she heard familiar sounds coming from down the corridor. "Nadine," Kieran remarked, his voice as smooth as ever, "today's marks it four years of being with

Then Haley heard a voice she recognized. "I apologize, Lydia," Kieran murmured in a quiet, personal voice. "Haley’s appearance surprised me too. I'm sorry you had to deal with it.”Lydia has a beautiful, syrupy voice. "I'm accustomed to that by now, so it's okay. But Haley will be angry since you've been ignoring her for so long. What if she becomes upset if you don't visit her at home tonight?”"That is irrelevant,” Without hesitation, Kieran replied, "She's easy to handle. You are the focus of tonight. I ought to be here with Riley and you. She accepted the present, but it's okay, I'll give you this bracelet instead. I've worn it for many years.”Riley let out a happy squeal. "Hooray! Daddy is the greatest! See, Mommy? You are the most important person in Daddy's heart.”Lydia gently nudged her daughter and added, "Don't say things like that, especially in front of Haley, okay?" Nevertheless, she extended her hand to Kieran. "Kieran, didn't Haley go on a pilgrimage to get that brac

Kieran came back by dusk with a dish of plain meals. "Haley," he asked placing it on the bedside table and standing with his back to her for a little before turning around, "did you really push Riley?" His voice was clearly irritated. Haley lowered her gaze. "Yes." His voice became harsher. "She is only a young girl. "How could you—" Haley raised her chin. "She advised me against having kids with you. that she desires to have you all to herself,” Her voice trembled a little. "Kieran, no three-year-old would think of it on her own. She learned how to say it from someone.” Kieran tensed up almost imperceptibly. He averted his gaze, and by the time he responded, his tone had softened. "She is only a young child. Youngsters don't comprehend what they're saying. Please don't take it personally. Be kind with her.” Haley was slapped across the face by the way he leaped to protect her right away. How many times had she previously failed to see this? How could she have been so blind

Haley did not discard the supplement bottle. Rather, she put it on Lydia’s bedside table and replaced it with an identical bottle that was already there."Vance, come out for coffee," Haley called Vance Perry, her best friend, after she was done. "I need a favor."From the other end came an exaggerated scream. "What is this, Ly? You've finally made the decision to spend time with your old pal instead of circling your beloved husband?"Despite herself, Haley laughed. "Enough. An hour. same location. Avoid being late.”After hanging up, she briefly smiled before her eyes began to heat up.She had been so foolish, my god.She had become the type of woman who surrounded herself with her spouse, turned down invitations, cut off acquaintances, and gradually obliterated her own social network until there was only one man in her universe.That was something she would never do again.Rather, she would gradually reclaim her circle. She would resume her previous hobbies as well.One step at a t

"Yes," Lydia said, her voice heavy with resentment as she bit her lip more forcefully. Riley’s outfit was damaged by that dog. Haley intentionally stated those things, and Riley became enraged and struck it several times. How could she harm a child in that way?"She's so bad," Riley sobbed into Kieran’s arm. "Daddy, she said she won't want me and will only adopt my baby brother. I'm becoming more bothersome, she said.”"That's not possible," Kieran answered without thinking.He carefully wiped Riley’s tears with his fingers while she sat on his lap."You must have misinterpreted. Your godmother has always been kind. She doesn't get angry. Since you were young, she has purchased you a lot of clothes and toys because she has always liked you. Just because you're upset doesn't mean you can label her nasty."Lydia’s eyes grew wide with shock. "So you think Riley and I are accusing her?" she asked. "Kieran!" she said sharply. "You've changed."Kieran felt a surge of annoyance, but he sup
