Jealousy gripped her, and a wave of heartache hit her, like an old wound that had healed but suddenly ripped open, revealing it had been festering and infected all along

“Okay”
ou going to drink juice while pregnant?” Charlie brushed off her protest, turning to the waiter, saying. “One cup of warm
sugar. And another cup of espresso, no coffee mate”
The waiter grinned, saying, “Miss, your boyfriend is so caring. You two look so in love.”
Charlie seemed annoyed by the server’s words and quickly corrected, “We’re getting hitched.”
He took Kamryn’s hand, their fingers laced together. And their engagement rings showed that they were officially husband and
The waiter was surprised by their public display of affection and quickly said. “Oh, my bad, I didn’t realize it. But y so young. I thought you were just dating. Congratulations!”
The envy dripping from his words only deepened Nicole’s pain, like needles stabbing her heart.

She helplessly watched her guy embrace another woman, soaking in the admiration and well wishes. Every moment felt like a reminder of her own unfulfilled desires.
Nicole’s hands shook as she lifted the cup to drink some milk. She was lost in thought and accidentally tipped the cup over, spilling the white liquid all over the table.
Her uncontrollable exclamation shattered the room’s brief harmony.
The waiter saw the milk spill on the table, run down, and drip on her skirt.
The waiter kindly came over, picked up a clean cloth, and offered to wipe it off for her.
But before he could reach for her skirt. Nicole instinctively guarded her belly, pushing his hand away, saying. “Don’t touch
The waiter awkwardly barked away, feeling embarrassed.
Nicole snapped back to reality, blushing, and quickly said, “I can do it myself.”
“Oh, okay”
The water polnely handed her the white cloth, and Nicole shakily took it, carefully starting to clean up the mess

“Without sugar, right?”
“Hm
With the order taken, the waiter respectfully left.
Nicole lowered her head and weakly leaned against the sofa, looking totally drained and pale.
Kamryn glanced at her and decided to ignore her, playing a mobile game. Since Nicole had asked to meet Charlie, she wouldn’t interfere. She was just there to go with him.
In other words, this man probably wanted to completely crush Nicole’s last bit of hope by using this method.
Charlie had also made up his mind, using such a harsh way to cut ties with Nicole.
She thought. Most likely, no woman would stick to a man so desperately after seeing how loving he is with his wife, unless she was too shameless. But Nicole must be shameless. Otherwise, she
wouldn’t have gone crazy and used in vitro fertilization at any cost to try and have his child.
Charlie turned to face Nicole, but compared to his tenderness towards Kamryn, his expression towards her was cold and indifferent. He asked, “You wanted to see me; what’s up?”
He was mean to spite her
He already knew about Nicole’s pregnancy from Kamryn, but he wanted to hear it from her own mouth.
He thought, “She’s so shameless, isn’t she? I might as well crush her last bit of pride completely
For someone he didn’t care about anymore, he could be ruthless and cruel.
Nicole stayed quiet, blushing, and unable to speak in front of Kamryn.
Before, she had told Kamryn that she had a one–night stand with Charlie, which led to this baby,
But that was just a lie to cause trouble.
In fact, there was nothing like that at all.

She had planned to meet Charlie alone, using both sweet talk and threats, hoping he would own up wedge between him and Kamryn.

But with Kamryn here, she didn’t know how to deal with this situation.
She wondered, If Charlie asks where the baby came from, what should I say? If Kamryn wasn’t here, I could tell the truth and explain everything; after all, the baby is already here, and I don’t think Charlie would hurt me. But with Kamryn here, do I have to admit the lies I’ve told before? It will only shame me. Shid‘
Charlie, seeing her struggle, lost his patience and asked, “What is it?”
Nicole felt a surge of emotion and looked up, only to see the man sitting across from her with a cold and impatient look. She felt a wave of sadness, and tears filled her eyes.
“Charlie, I’m pregnant.”
“Pregnant?”
Charlie didn’t show any sign of the surprise she had hoped for. Instead, he looked disgusted and even amused. Then he asked. How did you get pregnant!”
Nole suddenly got stuck and was not sure how to answer that question.

Nicole didn’t dare breathe deeply, tears streaming down her face. She sobbed and said honestly. Tm… I’m carrying your child.”
“My child?”
Charlie let out a sneer, questioning her, “How did you get pregnant? I don’t remember sleeping with you.”
His words were clearly meant to humiliate her.
But since the conversation had gone this far, she didn’t care about her dignity anymore. Since her dignity was already ruined. she might as well spill everything.
