Jaclyn's POV

I stormed over, reaching out to grab Molly as she just stepped out of the car, and briskly walked inside. We had discussed business at my company this afternoon—a batch of priceless artworks needed to be transported to London for an exhibition. There were many intricacies involved, requiring careful communication and understanding.

Molly and I were alumni, with some connections between us, and our business dealings had made us quite familiar with each other. So, even after discussing the formalities, going out for a meal seemed only natural. However, our relationship had always been straightforward and friendly. Therefore, when I suddenly grabbed her arm, Molly was taken aback.

After the initial shock, she chuckled, "Jaclyn, I'm not interested in extramarital affairs. Even if you are such a devastatingly handsome man, you can't tempt me." I snorted impatiently, "Rest assured, a woman like you, even after a thousand years, I still wouldn't have any ideas. Even if you were

    Natasha's POVJaclyn had been missing for a whole half month now. As June rolled in, my belly seemed to grow larger by the day, slowing me down even in the simplest movements. Fiona helped me into the hospital, guiding me to a chair in the obstetrics wing while she went to check us in.Sitting there, surrounded by couples coming in for prenatal check-ups, I couldn't help but think of Jaclyn Dills. He used to accompany me to every appointment, but for the past half month, not even a phone call. It was as if he had vanished into thin air.Yet, upon deeper reflection, I realized it wasn't entirely unexpected. Knowing Jaclyn's pride, and considering how many times he had swallowed his pride before, I still hadn't relented. Naturally, he might have given up. Did I really expect him to persist? Jaclyn Dills was never one for perseverance, especially not with me – his ex-wife, now a woman with a swollen belly and a worn-out face."Natasha, it's your turn." Fiona's words snapped me back to re

    Natasha's POV:As I stepped inside, I realized my sudden return seemed to lack a reason, so I hesitated at the doorway. Jaclyn Dills approached me, switching on the crystal chandelier in the living room. The sudden brightness made me squint uncomfortably. Jaclyn Dills walked towards me, arms outstretched to embrace me. "Luna, you're back," he said.Jaclyn's embrace was warm and comforting, eliciting a bittersweet sensation within me. Tilting my head slightly upwards, I observed him for a moment. He seemed thinner, with faint dark circles under his eyes, appearing somewhat weary as if he hadn't rested well.I never realized how being looked at by him could make me feel so content. My eyes, clear as a lake, reflected the light from the chandelier, revealing unmistakable traces of love. At first, I was conflicted, wondering if my return was out of pity for him. But now, I no longer entertained such thoughts. I loved him, unequivocally, and had loved him from the very beginning. This feel

    Jaclyn's POVDr. Dokin was the esteemed family physician of the prominent Dills family within the pack, naturally privy to the ins and outs of our on-again-off-again relationship. Looking at the current situation, it didn't seem like these two were at odds at all, even a blind person like Natash Yael could see that.Dr. Dokin shook his head subtly as Natash Yael explained, "Jaclyn suddenly spiked a fever in the middle of the night, so I had no choice but to call you. Could you please come over?"Dr. Dokin smiled gently, "Of course, let me take a look at him. What's going on? He's usually in good health."Natash Yael stepped aside, and her assistant handed over the stethoscope. Dr. Dokin began the routine examination on me, then set aside the stethoscope and checked my pulse. "Nothing serious, just a fever caused by a common cold.""A cold?" Natash Yael frowned, "He was fine before bedtime."Dr. Dokin instructed his assistant to set up the IV drip and explained, "There are various reas

    Natasha's POVWhen Dr. Dokin walked in with the test results, I stood up ready to rush over, but Jaclyn Dills grabbed my hand tightly and pulled me back. "Luna, with your belly this big, be careful," she said.I felt a chill run through me, but my palms were still sweating nervously. "Dr. Dokin, how is Jaclyn's condition?" I asked anxiously.He sighed inwardly, hesitating. Jaclyn Dills' health condition was so good that he found it difficult to find an appropriate way to answer me.I looked at him, a glimmer of hope in my eyes, making him feel even more guilty. But under Jaclyn Dills' gaze, he still forced himself to say, "From the test results, we can't determine the final outcome yet. If it's a tumor, there's a good chance it's benign."The doctor spoke with a guilty conscience, using some ambiguous professional jargon to obscure the truth.I was a bit confused, only knowing that Jaclyn Dills had a brain problem, and the severity depended on its progression. I couldn't make sense of

    Natasha's POVAlthough I felt the fetal movement, having experience, I knew everything was fine as long as the amniotic fluid hadn't ruptured, so I remained calm. Calculating the baby in my belly, although not yet nine months, was only a few days away, it was different from when I gave birth to Perry.I stayed calm, but Jaclyn Dills couldn't. All her panic seemed to be concentrated in this moment. Jaclyn Dills seemed a bit numb, looking at me wanting to reach out to hold me, yet afraid of squeezing the baby inside my belly. Not reaching out made her even more anxious.Neither extending her hand nor refraining from doing so, she froze there, her face alternating between red and white. One hand held a large bag, the other kept stroking my face, murmuring, "Does it hurt, Natasha? Are you in pain?"I was both amused and annoyed. I wrapped my arm around Jaclyn Dills's arm decisively and ordered, "Just help me down, and we'll go slowly."Only then did Jaclyn Dills straighten out a bit of he

I had heard that childbirth could be excruciating, and seeing Natash's frail appearance, I couldn't fathom how she would endure it.Lucy came over and pulled me to a chair, saying, "Calm down. Giving birth is tough, but which woman hasn't gone through it? Know that Natash is suffering, and be more tender to Luna in the future. Being anxious now won't help."I sat for barely a minute before standing up again, pacing anxiously by the delivery room door. I stopped occasionally to listen, but heard no sound. I couldn't tell if the soundproofing was too good or if Natash was enduring silently.Less than an hour after Natash Yael entered the delivery room, she successfully gave birth. When the loud cries of the baby echoed through the speaker by the door, I staggered and nearly fell, only to be steadied by my grandfather. "Son, steady yourself. Go see Natash quickly."My mind cleared, and I rush

It was a stark contrast from when she had Perry; back then, she was all thin and gaunt from childbirth, but now she was glowing with health, her cheeks rosy and radiant.Jaclyn Dills was quite tactful. As soon as I arrived, she exchanged a few polite words and then excused herself. I waited for her to leave, then plopped down onto the sickbed and whispered, "Your man has suddenly become quite personable. He used to ignore me whenever I saw him, but this time he's all smooth. Teach me your secret. If a rough stone like him can transform you like this, imagine what other men could do. I heard you two were separated not long ago. How did you suddenly patch things up?"Natash Yael chuckled before her expression darkened, and she began to tell me about Jaclyn Dills's illness.I was taken aback.

His eyes, flickering like flames, seemed to ignite a gentle tremor within me.Even though we couldn't do anything, my cheeks flushed nonetheless.Impatiently, Jaclyn Dills urged, "Natasha, come here."Jaclyn Dills always knew that the hungrier one became, the more important it was to savor each moment. Eating too quickly often resulted in discomfort and a loss of flavor, especially with something as delicious as Luna.

His handsome features, commanding presence, and the military insignia adorning his attire immediately drew the attention of numerous people as he stepped into the art-filled gallery. The juxtaposition of Louis' military resolve with the artistic ambiance of the gallery seemed discordant, yet he paid no heed to the curious glances of others as he made his way straight to the reception desk by the stairs, where two young women in their early twenties stood. One of the girls, her cheeks flushed with excitement, stuttered, "C-Can we help you?" under Louis' direct gaze, her head involuntarily lowering.

In my opinion, what's the point of chatting with strangers on Instagram? If they're friends, just call them, right? But Natash never tires of it.However, now I have to succumb to this Instagram thing. To deal with this situation, I spent half a day sitting in front of the computer, finally registered for an Instagram account, and then added a friend who could provide fake IDs. When he asked me what documents I needed, I simply replied, "ID card," and then there was silence. After a moment, the other side replied, "We don't provide ID cards." I quickly asked, "Why? I heard you provide all kinds of documents." Then I added, "Money is not a problem."There was silence again for a moment, and finally, he gave me an address to meet in person. I felt strange. Now these fake ID businesses have become like spy activities, but I just wanted an ID card, and I rea

Maria glanced at Natasha Yael's swollen belly and asked, "You guys didn't use contraception, huh?" Natasha Yael nodded, "We did."Marilyn chuckled and pointed to her own swollen belly, "Then how did this happen?" Cecilia blinked, "How did it happen?" Natasha Yael explained, "We used a condom the first time with Jaclyn Dills, but somehow, it happened anyway."Marilyn smirked, "You guys must have been too passionate to bother with a condom, hence this little surprise." Natasha Yael blushed, and Cecilia remarked, "Jaclyn Dills seems calm and elegant, unlike Morris, who's so restless. He must be very gentle, right, Natasha Yael?" Maria nodded in agreement.Marilyn snorted, "You guys are so naive. These men are not gentle or elegant; it's all an act. They're wolves in bed. Otherwise, why would Natasha Yael have this belly?

Didn't we agree that I would be on top this time?"I innocently caressed Luna, saying, "Didn't I let you be on top for the first half just now? You seemed to be enjoying it, telling your mate to go harder, to speed up for Luna. How quickly you forget."Natash blushed, "Whether I'm on top or you move, what's the difference when you're on top of me?" I blinked, then rolled over to pin Natash beneath me, leaning down to give her a playful nip before smoothly sliding inside her. "Hmm," Natash murmured.Leaning close to Natash's ear, I lightly nibbled and said with a mischievous tone, "Luna, your mate will tell you the difference now. When you're beneath, I can support you here, making it easier." As I spoke, my hand reached between Natash's legs, parting them forcef

It was my go-to move when dealing with Jaclyn Dills.Sure enough, Jaclyn Dills turned around, sitting on the edge of the bathtub, "What are you sorry for?"I hurriedly replied earnestly, "I shouldn't have gone to the nightclub with my friends." And what else? Jaclyn Dills' voice softened a bit.I blinked rapidly, "And I shouldn't have stayed out past ten.""And what else?""And... umm..." I racked my brain for a while but couldn't come up with anything.Jaclyn Dills' gaze slid from my face to my body, and his tone darkened, "Where did you get this outfit? I don't remember buying you anything like this.
