Watching Stephen Collins storm back to his room with his phone in hand, I looked down and touched my stomach, feeling a chill of dread.
Paranoid?
I wish I had been paranoid earlier and noticed something was off, so I could have left in time. Now, with the baby nine months along and about to be born, I start to regret it.
In the past, he was so obedient and doting that I trusted him completely. I became foolish and slow, ignoring all the signs.
Who is this woman?
A week ago, Stephen suddenly claimed my belly was too big and started sleeping in the guest room.
When I first got pregnant, he treated me like I was made of glass. No matter how busy he was with work, he always came home on time.
He cooked for me, customized a pregnancy diet, and took care of me like a queen.
He even washed my feet and trimmed my nails before bed, holding me gently through the night.
Once, when he caught a cold, he wore a mask just to stay by my side, refusing to leave me alone in a room.
Such a sudden change, no matter how much I trusted him or how slow I was, I couldn't help but notice.
He couldn't keep up the act any longer, could he?
That night, I stayed up until 3 a.m. and used the spare key to open the guest room door.
Stephen was sound asleep, and I found his phone.
Out of trust, we never touched each other's phones. But Stephen used to never guard against me—bank card passwords, phone passwords, they were all my birthday.
I took the phone to the living room and entered my birthday. It was incorrect, but I wasn't surprised.
From Stephen's phone to his laptop, I uncovered almost everything.
His affair was with the company's CFO, Lily Wood.
Lily was Stephen's college classmate, and I personally hired her.
Not only is she beautiful, but she also has impressive qualifications and high emotional intelligence. As an employer, who wouldn't like an employee like that?
I never thought I was bringing a wolf into the fold.
Moreover, she was in charge of the company's finances, and her interactions with Stephen at the office were minimal. Who would have thought they would become entangled?
However, the truth was even more disgusting than I imagined.
