บททั้งหมดของ Not Your Baby, Mr. Hunt!: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Melody had always been the most promising child in the orphanage. She earned a full scholarship to one of the top universities in the country because of her grades.That was where she met Caleb.Among all the rich, privileged young men on campus, he stood out effortlessly. She noticed him right away.Melody had thought the two years of marriage, and the nights they spent together, would be enough to keep as memories for a lifetime.But then she got pregnant.She couldn't bring herself to terminate it. After all, this was the only person in the world who shared her blood.She was afraid Caleb would try to take the child. At the same time, she held onto a small hope. Maybe he would be afraid of upsetting Wendy and refuse to acknowledge the baby.But in the end...Melody let out a quiet sigh and looked down at her still-flat stomach. Even if Caleb didn't remember that night, she still wanted to be fully prepared.As long as she stayed out of his sight and quietly had the baby, ma

Before anyone in the living room could react, footsteps came from upstairs.Caleb's mother, Lucy Miller, hurried down.She was nearly fifty, but her figure was still in great shape, and she looked like she was in her thirties.She only had a red shawl wrapped around her, not bothered at all by the coldness outside as she went out to greet the person.The blinding headlights went out, and Melody finally saw Caleb get out of the car, with Wendy beside him.Lucy, who had always been reserved and proper, let Wendy link her arm through hers.Caleb had a faint smile on his face. He walked to the trunk, took out several shopping bags, and waited as they chatted.The scene stung.Melody looked away, suddenly unable to sit still.Caleb had brought his current girlfriend home.What was Melody doing here?But it was too late to leave now, so she had no choice but to face them."Did Caleb not take good care of you? Why have you lost weight?"Lucy's voice grew closer. "If he's been mis

Yvette agreed out loud, but the moment Lucy walked out, she rolled her eyes at her back.-The image of Wendy pulling Caleb into the dining room and them sitting closely kept replaying in Melody's mind.She shouldn't have looked.On the way home, Melody let the cold air hit her face. It helped her clear her head. Halfway back, she stopped to get a bowl of warm soup before finally going home.Over the next few days, news about Caleb and Wendy was everywhere.What made it worse was that there was still no update on her resignation.She called Mabel Brown from HR, someone she was close with, to ask about it.But Mabel had no idea Melody had even submitted her resignation. As the assistant to the HR manager, she would know if the process had started.Which meant Caleb hadn't approved it yet.Melody pressed down on the accelerator and drove straight to Brighton Group's headquarters.However, her timing was off. Caleb was in a meeting.The secretarial staff told her to wait in a

Inside the banquet hall, Caleb was surrounded wherever he went.He stood speaking with several senior figures in the business circle, while more people kept coming up to greet him."Caleb." Wendy walked over and slipped her arm through his.Caleb's arm stiffened for a brief moment, then returned to normal."You're just in time. Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Howard Quinn."Wendy stood beside him in a soft, delicate way. She smiled sweetly at the man Caleb introduced."Hello, Mr. Quinn. I've heard my father mention you many times. It's nice to finally meet you.""I used to hold you when you were little," Howard said warmly as they chatted.Caleb glanced around the room again. When he didn’t see Melody, he frowned."Caleb." Wendy tugged on his sleeve. "They're teasing me. They’re asking when we're getting married."Somehow, the conversation had shifted in that direction.Caleb's lips curved faintly, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. He replied, "Soon. You'll all be inv

"Caleb, you're not doing too well."Jacob spread his hands and walked toward him with a smile, then placed a hand on his shoulder. "Your secretary looks pretty eager to leave you."Caleb leaned against the wall, a cigarette burning slowly between his fingers.His eyes drifted over Melody for a brief moment, then moved on to the gloomy sky outside the floor-to-ceiling window."Get lost," he said flatly.Jacob's smile didn't fade. He lifted his hand from Caleb's shoulder and raised both hands in surrender."Alright. You’re as impressive as always, Mr. Hunt. You two go ahead and talk."Then he turned to Melody with a bright grin. "Don't worry. I’ve got your back.”It was obvious he was enjoying the drama.Caleb looked calm on the surface, but his eyes betrayed his feelings. He was clearly not pleased.The hallway quieted down.Melody stood about ten feet away from him.She watched as he finished the cigarette, smoke curling around his sharp features."Mr. Hunt, I only took hi
