Surprise Pregnancy, Surprise Cheating Husband의 모든 챕터: 챕터 11 - 챕터 20

A week later, Rosie finished organizing the documents Sarah had provided. Bank statements and asset inventories were piled high across the desk.Aside from the diamond ring that cost 28,000 dollars, Ryan had also paid for Sarah's car, rent, and travel expenses. The total had exceeded 300,000 dollars over two years.More than half of that money had come from our joint account as a married couple.Rosie pointed to several transactions highlighted in red. "These expenses clearly go beyond ordinary gifts. We can demand that the money be returned."I flipped through the pages one by one. Every figure was tied to a lie.Ryan had told me the company was short on cash, so we'd had to cancel our anniversary trip. In that same month, he'd taken Sarah on an overseas vacation.He'd told me the company needed extra cash flow and asked me to put off replacing my old car, even though it was already falling apart. Yet, he'd paid the down payment on a brand-new car for Sarah.Rosie then pulled o

On the third day of my hospitalization, the doctor scheduled a follow-up examination.When I walked into the examination room, Ryan was already waiting outside. He hadn't slept all night, and dark stubble had begun to show along his jaw.The moment he saw me, he stood up. "Are you still in pain today?"I didn't answer.Rosie stepped in front of him. "Mr. Stein, Ms. Fraser needs to remain calm and avoid emotional distress.""I won't upset her." He looked at me, his voice low. "I just want to see the baby."I remained silent for a moment but didn't ask him to leave.The doctor placed an ultrasound probe against my lower abdomen. A faint, blurry shape appeared on the grayscale screen.Soon, the room filled with the rapid, steady sound of a heartbeat.Ryan froze and asked, "Is that the baby's heartbeat?"The doctor nodded. "Yes. The heartbeat is normal, and the pregnancy has stabilized for now."Ryan stared at the screen, his eyes quickly turning red. "It's such a tiny little th

After the mediation session ended, Felicia was waiting for me in the parking lot. She was holding a cardboard box with swollen and red eyes.She asked, "Ella, can we talk?""There's nothing to talk about," I said blandly.She stepped in front of my car door. "There's something I have to tell you. It's about Ryan and Sarah."I stopped.The box was filled with things we'd exchanged over the years. There was a bracelet we'd bought after graduation, the wedding veil I'd helped her pick out before her wedding, and a photo album.Felicia hugged the box tightly and said, "I know you won't forgive me, but I don't want to lie to you anymore."It turned out the Stein family had known about Sarah for an entire year before I found out. Their mother, Lily Potts, had even met her privately.She'd complained that I'd been married to him for years but never produced a child. She also thought Sarah was younger, more outgoing, and better suited to accompany Ryan to business events."Mom said sh

When I was six months pregnant, I started working again.Before getting married, I'd been a jewelry designer. After Ryan started his business, I'd quit my job to help him organize contracts, coordinate with clients, and manage the company's finances.Once the company became stable, I'd wanted to return to jewelry design. But then, he'd told me we didn't need the little bit of money I'd earn and that I should focus on taking care of the family.So, my old sketches had been sitting in the cabinet for five years.Rosie helped me get in touch with an independent design studio. After reviewing my old work, Jenna Zeller, the studio director, pushed a blank sheet of paper toward me. She said, "It's been so long since you've designed anything. Do you think you can still pick up a pencil?"I wrapped my fingers around the pencil. They felt a little stiff, but I didn't let go."I can give it a try."It took me three days to design a brooch called "Rebirth".Silver branches emerged fro

My daughter arrived two weeks before her due date.That night, I was still up late revising a design draft. When I stood to get some water, a rhythmic pain suddenly gripped my abdomen. I grabbed the edge of the desk and waited for it to pass. Only then did I realize my skirt was already wet.Rosie arrived at the hospital 15 minutes after I called her.On the way there, she held my hand tightly. "Don't be afraid. The doctors are ready."I bit my lip and tried to steady my breathing. "I'm not afraid."But when the next contraction hit, I clutched her hand hard.After examining me, the doctor discovered an abnormality in the baby's heartbeat. I needed an emergency C-section. The nurses brought in a gurney and began preparing me for surgery.Just before they wheeled me into the operating room, I grabbed Rosie's hand. "If something happens..."Her eyes were red as she warned, "Don't you dare say it. You and the baby are both going to be fine.""But...""Ella." She leaned down and
