Chapter 3

The next day, I saw Sophia wearing a ruby necklace.

Noah had said it was a birthday gift for me, but clearly, the birthday gift had turned into Noah's apology to Sophia.

Sophia smiled and played with her bracelet in front of me.

"Did you know about me and Noah being together all along?"

I looked at her without saying anything, and Sophia continued.

"You should have some self-respect. Right now, Noah loves me."

I scoffed.

"Then you should have Noah divorce me."

Sophia didn't get angry. Instead, she laughed out loud.

"You've just been around him longer than me. I have plenty of ways to steal him away."

Just then, Noah called, as usual.

Even though there were many servants at home, he was still worried and wanted to hear my voice.

But I didn't answer, letting it ring.

Half an hour later, he rushed back from work.

"Baby, why didn't you pick up my calls or reply to my messages?

"I was really scared."

Noah looked pale, clearly shaken by the fear.

Noah was really strange. He'd cancel million-dollar contracts just to check on me, but on his way home, he could still send flirtatious texts to Sophia.

[Put on the white stockings and wait for me at home.]

Sophia flaunted it in front of me.

"Every corner of the house is filled with traces of our love.

"Especially your bedroom. We've tried so many positions in there."

I looked at Noah, trying to suppress the pain and sadness in my heart, and said, word by word.

"I aborted the baby."

Noah paused for a moment, then burst out laughing.

When he laughed, two little dimples appeared on his cheeks.

"Olivia, you're hilarious!"

He knew exactly how much I wanted to be pregnant.

Because of my infertility, I had taken a lot of medicine and had countless injections.

During that time, I gained a lot of weight from the hormones.

I cried every night, afraid that Noah would find me unattractive.

After hearing me, he gently kissed my forehead and said, "I will always love you, no matter how you change."

Sweet promises slipped from his lips so easily, and as I thought back on it, I realized he had probably already cheated on me back then.

Because Noah was never good at sweet talk, but when he casually said that, someone had clearly been pestering him to say such things, and over time, it just came out naturally.
