Stanley stared at Jessica, shaking his head, “No way! The child can’t be Samuel’s! The child is mine!”
Jessica’s hands were tightly clenched at her sides, and she felt like she might crush her teeth from clenching them so hard.
Why was Stanley reacting like this? Why was he so sure the child was his?
“Stanley,” Jessica said, her voice a mix of frustration and disbelief, “why are you reacting like this? I thought you didn’t like children. Do you really want Wendy’s child to be yours? Is that what this is about? Do you want Wendy to keep the baby?”
Stanley’s eyes, normally cool and sharp, now flickered with something darker. He couldn’t explain it, but deep down, he just knew that Wendy’s child was like his.
He wanted the child to be his.
Jessica pulled something out of her bag and held it up. “This is her pregnancy report. It clearly shows the date- she’s two weeks and three days pregnant. Do the math. Does this child line up with your timeline?”
Stanley glanced at the pregnancy report in Jessica’s hand, then reached out to take it from her.
The report had Wendy’s name written on it–this was definitely her pregnancy report. The dates confirmed it: Wendy was two weeks and three days pregnant.
Two weeks… It was clear now. This child wasn’t his.
The last time he had been with Wendy was over a month ago, and the previous time was two months before. During the past month, Wendy had been with Samuel.
Now, it all made sense. This child was Samuel’s.
Wendy had gotten pregnant by Samuel.
Stanley’s anger surged. No wonder Wendy had tried to deceive him when he took her to NovaHealth for an exam. She wasn’t pregnant then because the child wasn’t his at all
He had been overthinking all along.
Stanley ripped the pregnancy report to shreds with one swift motion. The pieces scattered through the air, drifting like confetti.
His chest heaved with rage as he stood there, his body tense and his face dark with fury.
Jessica reached out and wrapped her arms around him. “Now that Wendy’s with Samuel, it’s natural she’d be carrying his child. No wonder she got so upset when we kidnapped Samuel. After all, he’s the father of her baby.”
Stanley pressed his lips into a thin, cold line, not responding.
Jessica continued, “Well, it’s not our problem anymore. This child belongs to Wendy and someone else. We don’t need to involve ourselves with it.”
But before she could finish, Stanley pushed her away.
He grabbed his black suit jacket and strode out of the room.
Jessica stood frozen, stunned by his sudden departure. She quickly called after him, “Stanley, where are you going? Didn’t you say you were busy?”

“I’m going to find Wendy,” Stanley said without looking back.
His tall figure quickly disappeared from Jessica’s sight.
Stanley was going to find Wendy!
Jessica’s frustration boiled over, and she stomped her foot in anger. Why was Stanley still chasing after Wendy? Did he still care about her?
But the more she thought about it, the more a wicked sense of satisfaction filled her. She wanted Wendy and Stanley to remain in this misunderstanding, forever keeping them apart!
Wendy was still at her apartment in the Royale Residences when her assistant dropped off the Lideran and Cerrosbi, then quickly left.
Alone, Wendy forced herself to drink the medicine meant to help stabilize her pregnancy. The taste was bitter, but she endured it.
Her emotions had been running too high lately, and now it felt like her pregnancy was becoming unstable.
Just then, the doorbell rang with a sharp “ding–dong” that cut through the silence.
Who could it be?
Wendy walked over and opened the door.
Standing outside was Stanley–tall, poised, and as striking as ever.
She really didn’t want to see him right now. Not even a word. Without hesitation, Wendy reached out to shut the door in his face.
But before it could close, Stanley raised his hand and pressed firmly against the door.
“Let me in!”
