Semua Bab The Rejected wife: Hidden Heiress finds true love: Bab 41 - Bab 48

...By the time Judith reached her eighth month of pregnancy, everyone had become paranoid.Liam was paranoid.Her mother was paranoid.Julian was beyond paranoid.At one point, Judith sneezed and three people asked if she needed a doctor.It was ridiculous, completely ridiculous.Unfortunately, nobody listened when she pointed that out.One Friday evening, Judith was leaving Lux Group headquarters after a long meeting when her phone rang.Liam.She smiled before answering.That was becoming a problem.A very serious problem."Hello.""Are you still at work?"His tone immediately made her roll her eyes."Don't start.""I'm not starting.""You are.""I'm simply asking a question.""That sounds suspicious."Liam laughed.The sound sent an annoying warmth through her chest."Judith.""What?""Go home."She walked toward the elevator."I am going home.""Good."A pause.Then....."Text me when you get there."She smiled despite herself."You're becoming unbearable.""Noted."The elevator

The Answer....Judith barely slept that night.Not because she didn't know what she wanted.The problem was that she did.For years, she had imagined Liam standing in front of her and telling her he loved her. She had imagined him fighting for her, choosing her, seeing her.Now that it had happened, she couldn't stop thinking about everything that came with it.Love wasn't the issue.Trust was.Liam had spent months proving he had changed, but part of her still remembered the woman who used to sit alone at dinner while her husband worked late.The woman who waited for calls that never came.The woman who convinced herself that being lonely was normal.By the time the sun rose, Judith was still awake.And exhausted.Around eight o'clock, there was a knock on her bedroom door.Before she could answer, Ava walked in carrying coffee and a bag of pastries."You look terrible.""Good morning to you too."Ava sat down on the bed."You didn't sleep."Judith groaned."Is it that obvious?""You

The next few weeks went by surprisingly fast.Judith was now officially forbidden from going to the office unless absolutely necessary, which meant she spent most of her time working from home and complaining about it.Nobody sympathized.Especially not Liam."I'm bored."Liam glanced up from his laptop.They were sitting in the library at the Lux estate, both supposedly working."That's unfortunate."Judith narrowed her eyes."You don't care.""I care deeply.""You don't sound like it."Liam smiled without looking up."I've heard this exact complaint seventeen times this week.""You're exaggerating.""It was nineteen."Judith grabbed a cushion and threw it at him.Unfortunately, she missed.Liam looked far too pleased with himself.Before she could launch a second attack, her phone rang.She glanced at the screen.Her mother.Immediately suspicious."Hello?""Don't make plans for Saturday."Judith frowned."What plans?""You don't need to know."That was never a good sign."Mom.""Sa

Welcome to the World.....By four o'clock in the morning, Judith had officially decided that childbirth was a terrible idea.A truly terrible idea.The fact that it was too late to change her mind only made things worse."Liam."He immediately looked up from beside the hospital bed."Yeah?""This is your fault."Liam blinked.The nurse laughed.The doctor laughed.Even Judith looked like she knew the accusation made no sense.Unfortunately for Liam, logic wasn't particularly useful at that moment."I'm sorry.""You should be."Another contraction hit before she could continue.Judith grabbed his hand so hard he was fairly certain she was testing the limits of human bone strength.When it finally passed, she released him and took a slow breath.Liam looked at his hand.Then at her.Then back at his hand."I think that's the third time you've almost broken my fingers.""You'll survive."The nurse nodded."You'll definitely survive."Liam was beginning to suspect nobody in the room respe
