Whose Child Is My Wife Carrying?

Returning home from a grueling business trip that kept him away for over two months, Jed Reed makes a shocking discovery at the local hospital. His wife has just undergone emergency surgery for an ectopic pregnancy rupture at six weeks. According to the medical staff, the conception window occurred strictly within forty to forty-five days prior—a time when Jed was entirely out of town. With his wife unemployed and seemingly devoid of male friends, Jed is left with a devastating, inescapable question: who has she been seeing behind his back?

At night, I handed the exquisite Louis Vuitton gift box to Celeste.

She looked at the bag several times with satisfaction before wrapping her arms around my neck, laughing, and kissing me.

"Jed, you're the best. Did you really get the project with Glory Group?

"We're rich people now, aren't we? The project is worth about 13 million dollars, and there's gonna be cooperation with other companies in other cities. Gosh! Am I dreaming?

"We can get the materials from Rocky, which can also help his business. By the way, I have a high school classmate who also works in construction materials. He approached me recently. See if you can work with him."

She excitedly kept talking in my ear, and I felt a little uncomfortable, so I pulled her hands down.

"Your high school classmate? What's his name? I'll find a chance to meet him."

"His name is Leon West. You were on that business trip for so long. I wanna see you jealous!"

I looked at the bright smile on her small face and was stunned for a second, having the illusion that she had never betrayed me.

She was so good at acting!

I led her to the bed and tentatively reached out my hand to untie the belt of her nightgown.

"Now that you've accepted my gift, time to return the favor."

"No... No!"

She held my hand, panic flashing in her eyes.

"What? You said we were preparing for pregnancy, right? Of course, I've gotta work harder," I said.

I approached her again and looked into her eyes, but the panic I saw a second ago was gone.

"The doctor said we shouldn't have sex while I was on pills."

She was still as cunning as a fox, pushing me away and getting into the bed. I turned off the lights and got into bed, but I didn't hold her in my arms like before.

She didn't come closer, saying that keeping her distance from me would be safer.

It was a long night.

After a long time, maybe she thought I was asleep, she turned her back to me, took her phone, turned down the brightness of the phone's screen, clicked on her chat with someone, and sent someone several messages.
