Chapter 1

That evening, my husband, Raymond Lowes, came home with a large bag of formula and diapers.“Honey, I heard you found an abandoned baby when you went out this morning. He must’ve shown up for a reason. We should adopt him.”I peeled off my facial mask and looked at him with fake surprise.“Dear, what are you talking about? When did I ever find a baby?”A flash of anxiety crossed his face. “I’m talking about the baby you found in the bushes by the neighborhood this morning. Honey, I know you have a good heart. You would never just leave an abandoned baby there.”I smiled and said, “Well, of course not. I stop to help stray cats and dogs when I see them outside, not to mention a baby.”Raymond let out a visible sigh of relief upon hearing this.“Then, go get the baby. He must be hungry. I bought the formula. I’ll make him a bottle right away.”I said with an innocent look, “But the thing is, I didn’t find any baby.”Raymond’s body turned stiff.“Honey, stop joking around. Are y

The next day, I woke up refreshed after my beauty sleep. I turned on my phone and saw countless missed calls. All of them were from Raymond.Before I could even react, another call came in. I tapped answer. Raymond’s anxious voice came through the phone.“Honey, where did you go? I’ve been looking for you all night.”I said in a relaxed tone, “I was feeling a little bored at home by myself last night, so I crashed at my friend’s place. Why? What’s going on?”“The baby’s mother showed up. She says she saw you take the baby yesterday. If we don’t find the baby, she’s going to call the cops. Just give the baby back to her already.”Perfect. I wanted to see who the baby’s mother really was.After I hung up, I got up, washed up, and drove straight back to the neighborhood.Raymond was pacing anxiously at the neighborhood entrance with a middle-aged woman in her thirties.As soon as I appeared, he rushed toward me. However, when he saw that I was alone, his footsteps halted.“Honey,

Raymond was stunned and speechless for a moment.The woman knelt in front of me and kept begging. She said, “Miss, I truly know I’m at the wrong. From now on, even if I have to beg on the streets, I’ll never abandon my baby again. Please, I’m begging you. Just give my baby back. My baby is my whole life.”I looked at her with a serious expression. “I seriously did not take your baby. Is it possible that you remembered wrong or mistook me for someone else?”She instantly denied it.“No way. I remember clearly that it was you. You were wearing a blue dress yesterday with roses embroidered all over it.”Raymond chimed in, saying, “That’s right, honey. Yesterday you were wearing that exact dress.”Thanks to the woman’s and Raymond’s remarks, the bystanders concluded that I had taken the baby. They all urged me to return the baby immediately.“After nine months of pregnancy and the pain of childbirth, she wouldn’t have thought about abandoning her baby unless she had absolutely no

I looked at Raymond coldly and questioned him harshly, “So, you’re saying both me and the security guard are lying? Raymond, what’s your deal? You’d rather believe some random stranger over your own wife?”The crowd also spoke up for me.“Everyone in this neighborhood is either rich or well-connected. Who in their right mind would hide some random baby?”“Exactly. I believe Scarlett and the guard are telling the truth. This woman is clearly making up false accusations.”Some people even looked at Raymond with suspicion.“You know, your attitude has been pretty weird this whole time. You’re so convinced your wife hid the baby. Are you working with this fat lady or something?”Raymond looked a little guilty and said, “I-I just thought the way she was freaking out didn’t seem fake.”I glared at him. “Oh, really? Didn’t you say last night that the security guard told you I picked up a baby?”The security guard denied it. She said, “I didn’t even talk to him yesterday. How could I

I showed the paternity test report to everyone present. They all widened their eyes.Raymond stammered, “Honey, this is all a misunderstanding. The hospital must have messed up the report.”I pulled two other paternity test reports out of my bag.“Raymond, we’ve been married for five years. You’ve always been so caring. You’ve always doted on me. Before yesterday, I never once doubted you. I never even thought you would cheat on me.“But the facts are right here in front of us. You say one report is a mistake. But what about these three reports from three different hospitals? Do you still have the nerve to say they’re fake?”Raymond could not come up with any more excuses. He simply lowered his head.Seeing him like this, everyone instantly understood.“I finally get it now. That kid is Raymond’s illegitimate child. He must have purposely left the baby by the entrance of the neighborhood.“By having his own wife pick up his illegitimate child, he gets to walk away clean. Then,

“Honey, I can explain this to you, too. I—”I could not bear his hypocritical behavior any longer. I decided to lay everything out plainly.“Raymond, I know you married into my family back then just for the Lumley family’s power and wealth. Everyone wants to climb up in life. Having ambition isn’t a bad thing.“However, now I finally see that your greed runs deeper than your ambition. You always have one eye on the next thing. In the end, that’s just going to backfire and leave you with absolutely nothing.”Raymond was left speechless by my rebuttal. He unwillingly asked, “I never slipped up this whole time. How did you figure it out?”I snorted coldly and replied, “You can’t do something bad and expect no one to ever find out. A baby suddenly shows up out of nowhere right in front of me? Of course, I was going to get suspicious.“You thought you were being perfect. But honestly, I could find out the truth easily if I were to just investigate.”To be honest, I was really not tha

Chapter 7

Selena became worked up. She grabbed Raymond’s arm.“Ray, you told me before that Scarlett threatened your future and my safety to make you break up with me. You said the only reason you stayed with her was to protect me.“Ray, as long as the three of us can be together as a family, I’m not afraid of any danger. We live in a country with laws. I don’t believe the Lumley family can just ignore the law and do whatever they want.”Initially, I thought Selena was hateful for knowingly being the other woman. Then, I realized that she was just a pitiful person who was deceived by Raymond.I said calmly, “Back then, Raymond said it was love at first sight with me. He volunteered to drive me to and from work every day. He said he wouldn’t marry anyone else. He even said he did not mind taking my surname.“From the day I met him to the day I married him, I had no idea you even existed. There’s no way I threatened your safety to him. Selena, he has been lying to you this whole time from the

I sneered and said, “Raymond, I don’t do second chances. We’re done.”Raymond dropped to his knees right in front of me. He wept and begged pitifully.“No, I truly know I was wrong. Nobody’s perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. You can’t just refuse to give me one chance to make things right.”I kicked him to the ground.“You’re in no position to negotiate with me.”After saying that, I walked straight into the neighborhood. Raymond tried to chase after me again, but the security guards immediately stopped him.“Ms. Lumley was the one who bought this house. As of now, you’re no longer a resident here. Please leave immediately. If you try to come back in, we won’t be nice about it.”With the help of the woman beside her, Selena quickly stood up and rushed to say to me, “Ms. Lumley, where’s my baby?”Without turning my head back, I said, “Follow me.”Selena followed closely behind me as I led her to another building in the same neighborhood.When I opened the door, the nanny, Lina

Just as Selena was about to leave with the baby in her arms, I heard another deep male voice in my head.Someone thought, ‘I didn’t go back on my word. I initially arranged for you to have a wealthy destiny with the Lumley family.‘As Scarlett’s adopted son, you would have grown up and teamed up with Raymond to kill her. You would have taken over everything the Lumley family owned. Then, you would have brought Selena over so the three of you could be a happy family. After that, your career would have kept getting bigger. You would have been rich and successful your whole life.’The baby thought, ‘Then, what happened? I haven’t even grown up yet. How did my real mom already take me back?’The deep voice continued, ‘All I can say is God works in mysterious ways. These days, even in the afterlife, everyone has a few connections. Scarlett’s best friend, Felicity, prayed for Scarlett so much that she earned her a special grace from God. It lets her hear your thoughts and change her own

Chapter 10

I prayed for Felicity again before leaving the cemetery. “Felicity, I hope you hear me. Come visit me in my dreams tonight. I truly want to see you one more time.”After I was done, I got up and returned to the Lumley family’s mansion.That night, I drank a glass of milk to help me sleep. After I fell asleep, I really did see Felicity in my dreams.We hugged each other excitedly. “Scarlett, I told you back then that Raymond looked like a gold-digging loser. You didn’t listen. He almost destroyed you.”“Felicity, I know you have been watching over me. I miss you so much.”“I missed you too. That’s why I’m here.”“That’s great! I’m going to pray for you every day. Then, we can see each other in dreams often.”Felicity shook her head. “That’s not allowed. I will soon have to cross over for good.”I was just getting excited about seeing her. When she told me this news, I felt sad again. Felicity comforted me and said, “Scarlett, now you know Raymond for who he really is. I’ve
