1 Chapter 1
At the wedding venue, Dashiell’s pure love Vivienne called with a congratulatory video.
Instead of bringing blessings, she delivered news that she was pregnant with his child.
He actually canceled the wedding on the spot and brought Vivienne back to our mansion.
“Scarlett, 1 Just made the mistake every man in the world makes, but I have to take responsibility for Vivienne
“If it really doesn’t work out, how about she gives birth to the child for you to raise, so you can be a mom without sullering?”
My heart shattered. I threw the pregnancy test in my hand into the trash can and drove straight to the hospital.
“Doctor, please abort this bastard child in my belly!”
Miss Huntington, are you certain about terminating the pregnancy? The baby is healthy. Do you… perhaps want to consult the father’s opinion?”
The doctor furrowed his brow slightly, asking me once more out of a sense of responsibility. I gave a bitter smile.
“That won’t be necessary. The baby’s father… Is dead.”
Half an hour later, I stepped off the cold operating table. It was a minimally invasive procedure, allowing me to walk immediately.
Despite the small amount of tissue removed from my belly, I felt somewhat weak. I managed to drive myself home, barely hanging on.
Just as I reached the entrance of the mansion, I heard the sound of a man and woman giggling from the living
Qon.
“Tee–hee, Dashiell, do you think… the baby in my tummy will look more like you or me?”
“Of course, it’ll take after my sweet Vivienne. You’re so beautiful, the baby’s bound to be gorgeous!” Their saccharine voices made me feel nauseous, almost to the point of vomiting on the spot.
Gathering all my strength, I kicked open the front door of the mansion. Their laughter stopped abruptly.
Seeing my hostile demeanor, Dashiell shielded Vivienne behind him, glaring at me with cold, furrowed brows.
“What the hell are you doing? Did you eat gunpowder or something? If you scare Vivienne and harm the baby, I won’t let you off easy!“Dashiell’s handsome face contorted, his eyes blazing with fury as be looked at me.
My heart clenched tightly, fighting back the tears that threatened to spill over as I spoke, each word deliberate and heavy.
“Dashiell, let’s… get a divorce!”
Dashiell froze for a moment, his face hardening as he stared at me, the corner of his mouth curling into a cold,
sarcastic smirk.
“You want to divorce me just because I accidentally knocked up Vivienne? I’ve already told you, I just made a mistake that every man on Earth makes! Which successful man doesn’t have a few love children on the side? I never said I’d touch your position as my wife, so why are you going crazy?!”
“Besides, Vivienne said she didn’t want to keep it originally, and she doesn’t even like raising kids. I’m the one who asked her to have this baby, and once it’s born, we’ll treat it as yours. You get to be a mom without any of the suffering, so what more do you want? After all, you couldn’t get pregnant in the eight years we’ve been together.

1 Chapter 1
This child is a blessing from heaven for you!”
I couldn’t help but laugh bitterly at Dashiell’s outrageous statements, letting out a derisive snort is that so? I’ve been with you for eight years and never got pregnant, but she gets pregnant after one time with you. It’s hard to say whether it’s me who’s not capable or you. And who knows if that child is even yours!“.
“You – Scarlett, you bitch! You want a divorce? Fine, get out now and don’t you dare come crawling back begging
me!”
I said nothing, just went upstairs to grab a few personal items and headed for the door.
“Dashiell, I’m willing to leave because you two have tainted this mansion. But don’t forget, we bought this place together. I’ll be taking back my share!”
At that moment, Vivienne suddenly got up and grabbed my hand.
“Scarlett, please don’t be like this. Can’t we talk things through
I didn’t even move, but Vivichne suddenly let out a piercing scream, her body tilting backward and crashing hard
onto the floor.
“Smack!”
Before I could process what had happened, Dashiell’s hand came flying across my face with a vicious slap. “Scarlett, you venomous woman! If you’re angry, take it out on me. How dare you hurt a pregnant woman?!”
Dashiell’s slap was so forceful that it nearly knocked me, already weak, to the ground as my vision went dark.
