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?

Chapter 4

Paige looked unhappy. She sat on the sofa and complained non-stop.

"Back then, there were many men who were better than you wanted to be my son-in-law. Celeste didn't mind that you had no money and insisted on marrying you. Now that your company is thriving, what's wrong with helping Rocky out?

"Now that you've taken on a big project, your attitude towards us changed. You even ignore me when I speak."

As soon as she finished speaking, Celeste pouted discontentedly and gave me a disdainful glance.

Rocky mediated and told them not to blame me for his sake. He said that it was fine if I didn't help him because I didn't have the obligation to do so.

He was a complete phony.

If it were in the past, I wouldn't dare to offend Paige. I would have agreed to help and appease her, my mother-in-law, with a smiling face.

But not anymore.

Both Celeste and she are bitches! I bet she knows everything Celeste has done. Who gives her the right to boss me around?

Moreover, I help with most of Rocky's business, but the materials he supplies to me are more expensive than those I get from other suppliers.

Celeste cheated on me, and Paige gave her a hand. Why should I appease them?

"For this project, the material suppliers need to go through a public bidding process as usual. Glory Group will arrange for someone to participate throughout the entire process. I don't get to call the shots.

"Rocky, if you wanna bid, you can hand in your tender these days. I have something to do, so I'll take my leave."

After I finished speaking, I turned around and walked towards the study without looking at the changing expressions on their faces.

The sound of a glass falling to the floor echoed behind me. I closed the door and could still hear Paige cursing.

"What kind of attitude was that? Does he really think he's a big shot? Does he really think he's something?"

I smiled and sent a message to Eric.

The voices in the living room gradually became quieter. Celeste and the other two closed the door and left.

I knew Celeste wouldn't come back tonight. In all the years of our marriage, whenever I upset her, she would return to Paige's house and wait for me to bring her flowers and gifts to make her happy.

I must go to Paige's house!
