David had to distance himself from Flora, ever since the night she confessed they had slept together, doubts about their relationship had been consuming him. The weight of his father's dying wish and his staunch opposition, coupled with Rowan's tearful pleas, left him momentarily unsure of his own convictions.What chilled him even further was Flora's complete lack of remorse for her actions. She didn't see anything wrong with her behavior; she was only worried about David's anger and not bothered by the consequences she caused Rowan, who had lost her job due to her manipulations.In the aftermath of the showdown in his second apartment that night, David deliberately avoided Flora for two days. He retreated to his mansion, which he now shared with Rowan after work. He had hoped to have ample time to discuss matters with Rowan, return her job, and then calmly negotiate the terms of their divorce. At the very least, he had hoped they could part ways amicably, without any lingering debt
Rowan's heart sank as she saw David's frozen expression. She had no idea what she had said wrong, but it was clear that she had struck a nerve. She hurriedly tried to explain herself, hoping to ease the tension between them. "I... I only found out that Flora was pregnant when she came to the hospital where I work for an examination today," Rowan stammered. "I didn't deliberately inquire or anything." David's frown deepened, and he continued to gaze at her with a piercing look in his eyes. His silence only heightened Rowan's anxiety. "Did you see Flora at the hospital today?" David finally asked, his tone filled with a mix of concern and suspicion. "Yes, yes," Rowan replied, her voice trembling slightly. She could feel her tongue tying up as she struggled to find the right words. She couldn't help but feel like she had unintentionally offended him once again, in a way she couldn't comprehend. The uncertainty hung heavy in the air, and Rowan anxiously awaited his response. Time see
David's father's words echoed in Rowan's mind, leaving her wondering, "Is it really Flora?" But why would Flora claim her surname is Smith? It didn't make sense to fabricate an identity just for a prenatal checkup."Rowan, Rowan?" A hand waved in front of her eyes, pulling her out of her thoughts.Lost in contemplation, she had forgotten that the doctor was waiting for a response. She mustered a smile and apologized, "I'm sorry, Doctor. I don't know her very well, so it would be best for me to call her directly and let her handle it.""Oh, that's fine! I can ask her myself later then," the doctor replied."Doctor," Rowan interjected as the doctor was about to leave the room. She hurriedly approached him, feeling a bit embarrassed. "Can I inquire about her current situation?"The doctor paused, suspicious of Rowan's sudden interest after claiming not to know Flora well. He asked with a hint of doubt, "Do you really know each other?"Realizing the inconsistency in her words, Rowan quick
Rowan told Rolland all about what happened from last night to today. "She was pregnant but didn't tell David, she went to the hospital under a false name and even came to threaten me out of nowhere. What is she afraid of?" Now Rowan is most puzzled by this. "Rowan, why are you starting to think about this big scumbag like David again? Didn't you agree to ignore them again?"Rowan was stunned and wanted to refute Rolland that she was not helping David think about things.Rollans spoke faster than her, "No matter what problems Flora has, it has nothing to do with you. Even if the child she is carrying is not David, it is David's business and not yours. Why are you bothering?!"Rowan lowered her eyes and muttered to herself, "Isn't it his child?" "Snapped!"Rolland patted the table lightly. Rowan was taken aback by surprise and looked up at him.He cursed bitterly, "Wake up, miss! I told you not to bother about them anymore, have you thought about it seriously?! If your ex-husband,
The next day.oDoctor Alex was worried when Flora didn't show up, but instead, Flora arrived accompanied by David's mother. Rowan had initially believed that Flora would never return to their hospital again, underestimating her persistence. Not only did Flora confidently arrive, but she also brought David's mother along.As Rowan was dealing with system errors at the nurse's station, she glanced up and saw the two of them entering. Flora raised her eyebrows slightly and greeted Rowan with a smile."Miss Rowan, I have an appointment for a check-up. Is Dr. Alex available?" Flora asked confidently, behaving as if she hadn't been the one who had snuck away before.David's mother, seemingly aware that she would encounter Rowan, showed no surprise on her face. She looked at Rowan with an impassive expression.Maintaining a professional smile, Rowan tried to treat them like any other mothers and their family members. "What time is your appointment? Let me find out for you," she offered, stan
, Chapter 67Flora stepped out of the car and caught sight of the illuminated windows in David's grand mansion. Instantly, her heart filled with pure joy. Brimming with excitement, she hurried over and pressed the doorbell. Time seemed to stretch on as she waited, testing her patience.Just as her patience was wearing thin, the heavy doors of the mansion creaked open. To her astonishment, it was Rowan who stood before her, someone she never expected to see. Flora couldn't control her surprise, and her face revealed her shock."It's... it's you?" she stammered, her voice betraying her disbelief.Rowan's expression didn't reflect warmth; instead, it soured upon seeing Flora. Her face grew long, revealing her displeasure."What are you doing here?" Rowan asked brusquely, her tone dripping with impoliteness. "What do you have planned for me?"Flora paid no mind to the sarcasm in Rowan's voice. She raised her voice, desperately seeking answers. "Why are you here? After your divorce, why ar
Richard stood behind David awkwardly, they were standing at the corner of the hospital building, looking towards the direction of the nurse's station from the passing crowd.Because of the angle of view, only when you approach this corner can you notice that there are two men in suits and leather shoes standing stupidly in this corner.In a place like the obstetrics and gynecology department, no matter how weird this scene looks, they will involuntarily take a second look.Richard was watched by passers-by a few times, and he became even more uncomfortable.With a light cough, he asked, "Boss, why don't we just go over and say hello?"After a while, David refused coldly, "No need."Both feet still stood in place, staring motionlessly at the figure in the distance.Richard smiled wryly in his heart and muttered inwardly, he doesn't want to go there and doesn't plan to leave. I don't know when the boss became such a cautious person.No, it's a little more terrifying than looking forwar
What Rowan wanted to say suddenly turned into a fishbone stuck in her throat. Neither swallow or spit.She lowered her eyes and was silent for a while.David's mother seemed to be tired of cursing, her chest heaved violently, but she didn't continue to speak.After a while, Rowan raised her head again, looked through Director William, chubby body, and met David's mother's eyes.She desperately asked, "I've already divorced him, what exactly am I going to do for you to let me go?"David's mother sneered, took a deep breath, and smoothed her chest before returning to her."Since you know that you have divorced David, why are you holding back? Flora asked you to move out, but you still dare to find a lot of reasons to drive her out! You have to figure it out now, that she is the owner of that house!"It turned out that the reason for all of this was because of Flora. "I thought I made it very clear to her that the house was given to me by David, not by myself." "Hmph!" David's mother
