Chapter 2

Early the next morning, I was making breakfast.

The door to the master bedroom opened without warning.

Justin didn't work. He stayed home playing the markets, mutual funds and stocks, and he always slept until eight or nine. Today was early for him.

“Why not sleep in?”

I asked lightly.

He rubbed his eyes.

“I'm meeting the guys today. If I go late, the line's forever.”

“Hurry up with breakfast.”

Then he sat down off to the side.

I caught him texting Luna.

“Luna, you've missed your period two months in a row. You're not actually pregnant, are you?”

Her reply came back:“Then I'll keep it.”

“But we'll say you adopted it. Let her raise it first.”

“Yeah, yeah. She won't suspect a thing anyway.”

“Okay, I'll go with you to the appointment today.”

I laughed coldly inside.

I hadn't expected the two of them to get this far.

I walked into the kitchen.

Came back out with breakfast.

Justin ate a few quick bites, then grinned and waved at me.

“I'm heading out, babe.”

“For our future, you keep up the good work, okay?”

Once, it would have made me happy, filled me with drive.

But now I only felt sick.

Watching the direction he'd gone, I hailed a cab and followed.

It finally stopped at a women's and children's hospital.

The moment I stepped out, my man called.

“Ms. Fox, I've got it confirmed. This Luna is WarmGlow TV's hottest female host.”

“Pretty face, sweet talk, and she's pulled in a huge crowd of male fans.”

WarmGlow TV?

Never heard of it.

Didn't matter, though.

“How long for the buyout.”

I asked.

My man answered:

“Two days.”

The call ended.

I walked into a coffee shop.

Two hours later, Justin and Luna came out of the hospital.

I couldn't make out what they were saying.

But I could guess.

I sent a message to my man.

“Get someone to the city women's and children's hospital and pull all of Luna's medical reports.”

That evening I timed it to the end of the workday and went home.

The second I walked in.

Justin threw his arms around me, happy as ever.

“Babe, you must be tired. I made your favorite today, braised pot roast.”

I caught the pregnancy test slip sticking out of his bag.

I didn't call it out.

I gave a faint smile and gently pushed him off.

“I'm not hungry, you eat.”

“I've got work to do.”

Then my face went cold, and I left him standing there and walked into the study.

He blinked, caught off guard.

But he didn't think much of it.

“Then do your work. Once things settle down, let's have a kid.”

I didn't turn around.

Afraid I'd do something rash if I did.

In the study, I sat there until midnight.

Then I logged into Luna's stream on a burner account.

Right now Luna was doing a sleep-aid stream for her fans.

With some back-and-forth mixed in.

Plenty of the male fans were posting filthy things, saying how beautiful and gentle she was, that they wanted to have a baby with her.

Justin was in there too, logged in on his real account.

He dropped a top-tier gift right away.

“No need to fight over it, boys. Luna's already carrying my baby, DNA test confirmed~”

“If you love Luna, you've got to send her gifts.”

And with that, he sent another top-tier gift.

After that, he flirted with Luna like no one else was there.

Then someone said they'd seen from Justin's posts that he was already married.

He tagged the guy and replied:

“If your wife had zero fun in her, and you had to fake being happy every single day, wouldn't you find it dull too?”

“A man's only happy when he's with someone who gets him.”

The stream was packed with brainless fans, and they all piled on to agree.

Watching it, I gave a cold little smile.

Then I took a screenshot.

Justin.

Since you think she gets you.

When I finally lay my cards on the table, you'd better not cry.
