Chapter 2

Jacob had left for work early this morning and wasn't home.

I took out the pregnancy test result from the drawer. At this point, I was also two months pregnant.

I thought, if only I had been reborn before marrying him, that would have been so much better.

I would have called off the engagement without hesitation.

This child came at the wrong time.

Lily called out from outside the door: "Jacob, are you there? Olivia, are you home? Open the door quickly."

I put away the pregnancy test result and leisurely went to the bathroom to freshen up.

I heard Lily take out her phone and call Jacob:

"Sob sob, Jacob, are you busy? I'm at your front door now, Olivia won't let me in."

"What happened? Don't cry." Jacob replied on the phone, "Wait for me, I'm coming back right away!"

Lily waited outside the door for a full twenty minutes before I opened it and looked at her: "Can I help you?"

Lily had a suitcase beside her feet.

She touched her belly and said to me, "Olivia, I'm pregnant. The baby's father doesn't want this child. I have nowhere to stay now, can you and Jacob take me in?"

I wasn't close to Lily, we had only met once before.

She came to our wedding.

At that time, I didn't know she was Jacob's college crush.

If I had known Jacob had a first love he couldn't forget, I wouldn't have married him.

Jacob was on his way back.

I pulled Lily into the house and smiled, "What a coincidence, I'm pregnant too. Let's take care of our pregnancies together."

Lily looked at my belly and asked, "How many months along are you? Does Jacob know?"

"Just over two months, he doesn't know yet. I don't plan to tell him for now." As soon as I finished speaking, footsteps were heard outside the door.

Jacob was back. He saw Lily and me sitting on the sofa, first looked surprised, then relieved.

He went to pour water for Lily, his tone revealing his concern for her: "Lily, why are you here? What happened?"

"I'm pregnant, and I have nowhere to go. I was hoping to stay at your place for a while." Lily said, then glanced at me and added, "Olivia has already agreed."

Jacob was a bit surprised. He pulled me into the study, closed the door, and asked me: "Olivia, did you really agree to let Lily stay?"

I generously replied: "Yes, she has nowhere to go now. If we don't take her in, what if she does something desperate? Besides, we have three rooms, one more person won't make a difference."

"Olivia, you're so generous." Jacob's eyes lit up with joy, and he hugged my waist, about to kiss me.

I felt disgusted but subtly pushed him away.

He smiled and said: "You're right, we have plenty of room. Let her stay for a while then!"
