Julia Lester was lying on the bed in the delivery room, drenched in cold sweat as she writhed around in unbearable pain.Lexi Jones, the assistant to Julia's husband, Robert Stone, stood by the bed with an impassive expression."According to the agreement, your hospital and delivery expenses are part of the standard household expenses shared by both parties. Mr. Stone has agreed to pay for half of those costs. However, the epidural is an unplanned additional expense. You will have to cover the last thousand dollars yourself."Julia clenched the bedsheet. She even had to gasp as she spoke."I've been in labor for a day now, and I'm only three centimeters dilated. The doctor said I won't be able to keep going without an epidural. But I… I really don't have any money left. Please call Robert. He won't be that heartless."But Lexi didn't move. If Julia wanted to give her a task to do, Julia would have to pay for the added work.Julia had no choice but to shakily climb off the deliver

Julia assumed Robert would at least offer some explanation for the disgraceful scene she'd witnessed that day and for his betrayal over five long years.However, he simply averted his indifferent gaze and walked past her toward the desk. He didn't say a word to her—he didn't think it was necessary, even though they were still legally married.Her nails dug into her flesh. She'd long since experienced the full extent of his cruelty, yet his disregard still pierced her so deeply that every fiber of her body seemed to ache.He was the one who'd cheated, and she was the one who'd been hurt. Even if she'd been nothing more than a dog to him, he should have at least given her a heads-up when he'd fallen out of love with her.Instead, he left her to her own devices, having to speculate by herself like a clueless fool.During that initial year, she'd spent most of her time questioning herself. She'd wondered if she'd done something wrong. Had she been so incapable of holding onto a man's

Myra leaned against Robert, her gaze cold and mocking. Their arms were practically touching, and Myra's wavy hair even spilled over onto him. It was, without a doubt, an intimate position for a man and a woman to be in.With one handsome and the other beautiful, they looked like the perfect couple.The moment the crowd noticed Robert, they quickly dispersed and returned to their desks.Robert pressed his thin lips together, his expression sharp. Eyeing Julia, he demanded, "Apologize!"Whitney planted her hands on her hips and piped up, "That's right! Apologize!"Ruby couldn't stand it anymore and raised her voice to explain, "Whitney was the one who accused Julia of earning the manager position by sleeping her way to the top! Julia was only—"However, Robert kept his eyes on Julia, showing no intention of changing his mind. Julia clenched her fists again.Robert had always thought little of Whitney's mother, too. The only woman he cared about was Myra, and Julia had insulted her

At Myra's question, Robert's gaze lifted as well. He glanced at the area behind Julia, his brows drawing together. No one knew what he was thinking.Then he called out, "Julia."Myra patted his arm as if to comfort him, then considerately excused herself and went elsewhere.Yvonne was afraid she might claw Robert's face off if she stayed any longer. Gritting her teeth, she said, "I'll go get the car!"Thus, Robert and Julia were left to stare at each other.Julia had no desire to explain anything. As long as Emmy's existence wasn't exposed to Robert, it made no difference whether he misunderstood her.She met his eyes briefly before heading for the entrance."We need to talk," he said.Julia paused. Since the divorce had to come up sooner or later, she nodded. "Fine. Let's talk back at our marital home."She told him a time before walking right past him. When she ran into Jimmy, she ignored him, but he stopped to sneer as she left.There she was, acting all high and mighty, y

"Once we finalize our divorce, you can marry Myra, and your illegitimate daughter can become the legitimate granddaughter of the Stone family," Julia declared.At last, Robert's indifferent, unfeeling gaze changed a little. He pressed his lips together, and his knuckles turned pale as he picked up the divorce agreement.Julia's eyes narrowed slightly. For one brief moment, she thought Robert might be reluctant to divorce her."Also, you must promise that any child I give birth to will have nothing to do with you!" she added.She absolutely couldn't afford to be careless about this. She needed his promise in writing.Julia took out the other document she'd prepared, intending to have him sign it on the spot.At her words, Robert's tightly pressed lips curled into a meaningful smile. His fingers, which had been about to turn the pages of the agreement, also came to a stop.As a result, he failed to notice the signatures the two of them had already put on the last page.Julia had
