Careful What You Fake의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

This was the third time I'd heard Yuvan Smith's thoughts.The first time was when the Sinclair family came to discuss a marriage alliance."Discuss" was a generous word. The meeting was only meant to preserve the last shred of my dignity and hide the truth that I was being displayed like merchandise for people to choose from.Kayla Sinclair's gaze swept over me casually, like she was inspecting an item in a store window. There was clear dissatisfaction and disdain in her eyes.Just when I thought this one-sided matchmaking session was about to fall apart, Yuvan's mocking thoughts suddenly rang in my ears.'Benjamin is the 99th marriage candidate Kayla's looked at, and he's the ugliest one so far. If she picks him, my chances will be much better. No matter whether it's looks or talent, I'm miles ahead of him. He's just a spoiled rich kid living off his family. That's exactly the type Kayla hates. Once they're married, she won't even spare him a glance.'Yuvan even let out a couple

Kayla's grandmother and two uncles stood before me and questioned me."Where's the ring?"I instinctively covered my hand. An idea flashed through my mind, and I quickly lied to my grandmother-in-law, Eleanor Sanford."Grandma, to be honest, I'm allergic to the ring. I can't wear it."Before I could finish speaking, I was struck with a cane."Since you're determined to cover for Kayla, you'll stand here under the sun for two hours. You can leave when you finally understand what you've done wrong! You're Kayla's husband. Your first responsibility is to carry on the family line, not help her fool around outside. If you can't even understand that, then don't call me Grandma!"I stared at them in confusion.The three elders were so angry that they stormed off, leaving me alone in front of the family shrine.When I was leaving, the family butler hurried after me and handed me a bag of supplements.Right on top was a bottle of folic acid."Madam Sinclair prepared these herself. Mak

I opened the message to find it was a photo from Selena.My mind went completely blank.A pregnancy test with two lines stared back at me from the screen.What?Before my brain could even catch up, another message popped up.A hospital address.It was obvious she was there right now.I grabbed the desserts, jumped on my scooter, and headed straight there.I never even got to see her. The nurse told me she'd already left.I rode home in a daze. When I opened the door, the smell of food hit me.I stopped, then I ran inside.Selena was sitting at the dining table, food laid out in front of her.Something in my chest tightened. I crossed the room and pulled her into my arms, my voice coming out quieter than I intended."I thought you'd left."She glanced at the pregnancy test on the table and said, perfectly calm, "The baby's father is still here. Where exactly would we go?"I thought she wasn't angry, but then she pulled up the video of me bringing hangover remedies to Yuva

As Selena spoke, she pressed the pregnancy test into my hand."I've felt it these past few weeks. I like you. Do you like me too?"Before I could answer, Kayla returned."He doesn't like you."Yuvan's voice cut through my head right on cue.'What's Kayla thinking? I've been telling her to walk away, and she's still defending him. I don't get it. She used to care about my opinions. Lately, something's been off. Did Benjamin do something while I wasn't around? Did he get in her head somehow? What kind of hold does he have on her? That manipulative snake!'For the record, I hadn't done a single thing.Kayla reached for my hand, but Selena got there first and pulled me back.I snapped out of it and stepped in front of Qin Yue. She was carrying my baby. I wasn't taking any chances.When Kayla saw this, her hands balled into fists at her sides. "Ms. Langley, at the end of the day, he's my husband. Please conduct yourself accordingly."Selena didn't miss a beat. "Not for much longer

The moment Kayla started talking, I'd already heard Yuvan's thoughts getting closer. He was running through ways to pull her attention back to him. Whatever else he was, his feelings for her were real.Selena stood in front of me with the light behind her, smiling. "So, have you made up your mind? Who are you choosing?"Something about that smile gave me an idea.I put on my best convincing expression. "Honestly, staying with the Sinclairs isn't a bad deal for me. It's not like I love Kayla. One arrangement's as good as another, right?"Selena's smile disappeared. She set the food container down a little harder than necessary."I respect your decision. I'll take care of the pregnancy when I leave here. Don't worry about me. I'll chalk this up as a lesson learned. I was actually planning to make an investment in the Grant family and transfer a few properties to you. Guess none of that matters now."She actually turned and walked toward the door.I threw off the blanket and scramb
