Chapter 6

Penulis: Double Seven
“Rachel!”

Without a moment's hesitation, Lucas hurried over and lifted Rachel in his arms, accidentally pushing me aside, making me nearly lose my balance.

In a trembling voice, he assured her, “Don't be scared, I'll take you to the hospital…”

Carrying Rachel in his arms, he turned back to look at me. “Naomi, this is serious. Give me a hand.”

“No, no need to trouble Naomi…" Rachel weakly tugged at his sleeve. “We can go by ourselves.”

I had not planned on going. However, the moment she said that, my curiosity piqued.

A woman who had just been insisting I take care of her postpartum suddenly did not want to bother me?

If this was not a setup, I would eat my hat.

I picked up my car keys. “Let's go.”

Rachel tried to refuse again, but an anxious Lucas ignored her completely.

At the hospital, the doctor conducted tests but found no issues.

Still, Rachel clutched her stomach, insisting she was in pain.

The doctor frowned, briefly looked at Lucas, then let out a nearly imperceptib

    I did not go home. Instead, I went to the mall, bought a few sets of clothes, and checked into a hotel.My lawyer told me that the evidence I provided was more than sufficient. If I refused mediation, there was a strong chance that Lucas would be sentenced to two years in prison.She asked if I had considered settling.I firmly refused.People should be held accountable for their actions, and the law was the minimum standard for that accountability.A few hours later, after failing to find me, Lucas was panicked.He called me and sent messages, only to discover he had been blocked.He tried reaching me through my friends, only to realize he had no way to contact them.It was not as though I had never introduced him to them over the years. Every time, he would be glued to his phone, uninterested.“I’m a well-known professor now. Hanging out with your random friends would only lower my status.”Eventually, he completely stopped attending gatherings.He never bothered to save

    While my lawyer was organizing the lawsuit documents, she suggested that I hire a private investigator to look into Lucas to gather more solid evidence that would only strengthen my case.Last night, the investigator sent me his findings.I had always believed that my connection with Lucas began when I was bullied in high school. He stepped in to protect me and, as a result, was beaten up by my attackers.However, the report told a different story.Lucas and my bullies had been childhood friends, practically inseparable. They had never lost contact over the years.The investigator even managed to retrieve a video from a bar last year.I clicked on it.On the screen, Lucas and my former bullies clinked glasses, arms slung around each other’s shoulders, drinking and laughing.“You were always the smartest, man. That whole ‘hero saving the damsel’ act? Genius. Got you married to Naomi, the class beauty, and you used her family’s money and connections to climb the ranks at school.”

  • My Husband Wants To Have A Test-tube Baby With His Junior, So I’m Suing Him For Bigamy   Chapter 1

    On the day of my family gathering, Lucas Shaw was a no-show.I held back my tears as my parents and I went door to door, apologizing to our relatives.In my hometown, if a son-in-law skipped the the family gathering, it was seen as a big sign of disrespect toward his wife's family. It would shame our relatives and draw criticism from others.Before our wedding, I had emphasized this to Lucas multiple times. He had promised me with absolute certainty that he would not miss it.Yet, now…My parents seemed to have aged overnight. With hunched shoulders, they bowed slightly as they explained to our relatives. “We’re terribly sorry. Our son-in-law had an urgent matter to attend to and simply couldn’t get away. The next time he’s back, he’ll personally come to make amends.”Even though our relatives looked displeased, they accepted my parents’ sincere apology.Except for a few of my uncles, who were absolutely furious.“That brat! What could possibly be more important than the fami

    The lawyer gave me a quick look when she heard those words. I let out a bitter laugh and was about to end the call.“Wait, Naomi.”The camera shook as she jogged a few steps, then pointed it at Lucas. He was talking to a doctor, jotting notes in a notebook as the doctor explained post-IVF procedure precautions.“Hey, future dad, look here!”Lucas heard her and turned to look. When he saw me on the other end of the video call, he did not seem annoyed at all. Instead, his face lit up with excitement.“Honey, your man is a freaking legend! One shot, and boom—nailed it! The doc says the IVF worked, and pretty soon, I'll be a dad!"“Too bad you’re not here. Otherwise, we’d be celebrating tonight for sure!"“Oh, by the way, since our teacher is seriously ill, taking care of Rachel throughout her pregnancy and postpartum recovery will be your responsibility!”Rachel clung to his arm, looking pleased. “Naomi, I’ll be counting on you!”He expected me to care for his pregnant mistress a

    On our wedding night, Lucas took a phone call and left, leaving me alone.I thought that he would at least show up the next day so we could return to my hometown together for my family gathering.However, instead of the groom himself, all I got was a cold, emotionless message casually asking me to postpone the banquet.He claimed his teacher was seriously ill, and he could not wait to go through the IVF with his junior, Rachel, all to fulfill his teacher’s dream of having three generations under one roof.It was absurd!He abandoned me, his wife, on our wedding night and completely disregarded the banquet we had planned six months in advance. Messed around with another woman, and even acting like it was perfectly normal to have a baby with her!I held onto hope for my parents' sake. If he realized his mistake in time, if he backed out of the IVF plan and rushed back overnight, perhaps there was still a chance for us.He did not. He did not bother giving any replies. So, when I

    I almost burst out laughing.He was the one who cheated, yet he had the audacity to expect me to clean up his mess. Now, he was even trying to pin the blame on me?! How absurd!“Then let’s get a divorce.”The moment those words left my mouth, the room plunged into a heavy silence. It was so quiet and still like time had frozen.Even the homeroom teacher's coughing ceased. Rachel snapped her head up to look at me, unable to hide the surprise and joy in her eyes.And Lucas? His expression shifted from anger to shock, and then to unmistakable panic.After a brief pause, he stood up and stepped closer, raising his hand to comfort me, just like he always did.I frowned in disgust, and he awkwardly lowered his hand. A trace of unease flickered across his face as he hurriedly explained, “I…I didn’t mean it that way.”“I was just…”I cut him off. “It’s fine.”He was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly asked, “Really?”I nodded calmly. “Really.”Honestly, there was no need for h

    Lucas looked completely dumbfounded. “This must be a mistake. I just got married a few days ago. How could I already be served with divorce papers?”His brows furrowed in irritation. “Officer, even if you’re court staff, you shouldn’t joke around like this. It’s bad luck.”“Your ID number is 310xxx1256, correct?”Lucas nodded instinctively. “Yeah, that’s mine, but…”The court officer pulled out a pen and handed him the documents. “Then there’s no mistake. Please sign here and cooperate.”It seemed like reality had finally hit him. He turned to me, his face showing disbelief. His hands trembled as he signed his name on the papers.“It was you?”The moment the door closed, he walked straight to me. “Why?”There was a rare trace of genuine sadness in his voice.However, I no longer wanted him. So why would I care how he felt?I replied calmly, “Yes, it was me. Don’t you already know the reason?”No one in their right mind would accept their spouse having a child with someone e
