Chapter 91

Mercer stared at Calla for a moment, then suddenly asked, "What did she accuse you of?""She accused me of being after your money, of course! Do you even have to ask?" Calla felt that Mercer had suddenly become less intelligent. "So you're saying that you're not interested in my money?" Mercer's lip curled upward."Of course not!" Calla raised her voice by several octaves.Mercer suddenly asked cheekily, "So you're just in it for me?" Calla hesitated for a moment. She randomly picked up the glass of juice next to her to disguise her sudden discomfort. She quickly exclaimed, "Please! Your money is more attractive than you are!"She had only married him so that her child would have legal recognition. Had he forgotten what he had said to persuade her? Still, why did Calla suddenly feel nervous? She suppressed the strange feeling and tried to keep herself calm. Mercer was startled. He suddenly said, "After we eat, we're going back to Riverford.""So quickly?" Calla was surprised

Chapter 92

Calla finally realized how considerate Mercer was being.The resort was on the outskirts of Sedonia, and it would take them three hours on the highway before reaching Riverford.Mercer had seen how tired she was, which was why he had chosen to spend a night here. He hadn't asked her to stay at Garland Mansion because he didn't want her to feel awkward around his parents. He was being considerate of her in all aspects.Calla felt unusually happy as she lay on the huge, soft bed. She closed her eyes and continued sleeping contentedly.…When they returned to Riverford, Calla and Mercer's relationship became even more relaxed and natural. Calla would take care of his daily needs, and he would regularly take her for prenatal checkups. They would sit in front of the television, talking and laughing with each other, just like any other husband and wife. One afternoon, after Mercer had gone to work, Calla went to the mall and bought a whole bunch of things to bring home to Carol an

"Go back to your room and study! This has nothing to do with you." Carol immediately tried to stop Zoey from blabbering.Zoey shook her head in exasperation. She turned and went back inside, but immediately stuck her head out and called out to Calla. "Rudy told Mom to persuade you to talk to Mercer! He wants you to let that insurance company of his take care of Atlas' property insurance!" Zoey immediately shut the door so that Carol could not scold her.Calla was furious. She turned and glared at Carol.Carol immediately waved her hand and said, "He did make the request, but I didn't agree to it! I only agreed to talk to you about it. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for Mercer."This made Calla even more angry, but she had to suppress her emotions. She said tiredly, "Mom, how many times do I need to tell you before you understand? Why do you let Rudy use you time and time again? "He no longer has any feelings for you at all! All his attention is on Jill and Peggy. If

Chapter 94

In the blink of an eye, Calla was already three months pregnant, and her belly was starting to show. She was also experiencing symptoms of morning sickness, and she was eating voraciously. She got hungry very quickly, and as a result, her weight steadily increased. However, that only made her look even more attractive, as she was now getting curves.That night, Jasmine put down the phone and said to Calla, who was sitting on the couch and watching television. "Ms. Sherman, Mr. Garland says that he has an engagement tonight and won't be back for dinner."Calla frowned slightly.Mercer had been extremely busy for the past two weeks or so, and he had barely been back for dinner. It was usually already past midnight by the time he got back. Calla felt that something wasn't right, but she couldn't pinpoint what it was."Let's eat," she said after a moment's pause.After she had taken a few bites, Calla felt that she had no appetite.In the bedroom, she leaned against the headboard o

"I'm going on a business trip tomorrow," Mercer suddenly spoke up behind her.He knew that she wasn't asleep, so Calla decided not to keep up the act. She asked, "Where are you going?" "Morvenia," he replied.Calla was startled. Did Atlas have business in Morvenia too? She had worked at Atlas for several years, but she had never heard about such a thing. Was this a private business trip?Calla knew that he might not want to speak about it further, so she did not press him anymore. She only asked, "How long will you be gone?""About a week," he answered after a moment's thought."I'll pack for you," Calla said, getting up."It's alright!" He stopped her at once.Calla turned to look at Mercer in the dark, and her brow furrowed."I'll only need to take a few changes of clothes. Jasmine will pack for me tomorrow. It's late. You should get some rest," he said.It was already 1:00 am, and packing right now would affect both of their sleep. Calla decided not to persist.After tha

Chapter 96

The sudden bombshell revelation stunned Calla for several seconds before she recovered. Her mind was a whirlwind of thoughts. Mercer's ex-girlfriend? Why was she contacting Calla? What did she want?Calla had probably been silent for too long. Sophie spoke up again, "Are you listening?"Her voice dragged Calla back to reality, and she quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mercer has never mentioned you before. I think you should also know that Mercer and I are married. You should call me Mrs. Garland, not Ms. Sherman."The person on the other end did not argue with her. Instead, she said, "Mrs. Garland, I just want to have a chat with you. Do you perhaps have time this afternoon?"There was an imploring note in her voice, and she didn't sound like an angry, accusing mistress at all. She had a melodious voice, and Calla could not find it in her to reject the request.That said, Calla knew better than to be so trusting of her. No matter how gentle the other party was, she couldn't possibly ha

Chapter 97

It seemed that Sophie had once been very important to Mercer. Did he perhaps still love her?Calla suddenly felt strangely fearful. Her chest felt stuffy and tight, and she was extremely upset. Why was she feeling this way? What was wrong with her?Before she could think about it any further, she changed into the clothes she had worn to visit Garland Mansion in Sedonia, and notified Jasmine before going out.When she arrived at the entrance to the café, she took a deep breath before walking in.There weren't many people here for coffee at this hour. The moment Calla looked up, she spotted a young woman at a seat by the windows. When she saw the woman's face, she suddenly felt nervous.Sophie was very beautiful, and seeing her would make anyone light up. She had a perfectly oval face, finely shaped brows, a straight nose, and a rosebud mouth. She was very fair and clearly a typical beauty. Calla stumbled and almost slipped. Luckily, the woman hadn't seen her yet and hadn't caug

Chapter 98

Sophie did not have any of the aggression that third parties in a relationship usually had. Perhaps Calla was the one who had intruded and come between them.Even her voice was ever so gentle and beautiful. Calla couldn't help understanding why Mercer found it hard to forget her."Ms. Jonas, was it? If you have anything to say, go ahead. I've got things to do later." Calla did not want to make any small talk with her. She only wanted to know why Sophie had sought her out. Sophie looked down at the coffee cup in her hands, looking as if it was hard for her to begin.Calla frowned, and Sophie looked up at her with bright, shining eyes. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Garland. I know that I shouldn't have contacted you, but Mercer and I are truly in love. I can't live without him, and he can't live without me, either. Can you please give us your blessing?" Sophie looked imploringly at Calla.Calla suddenly felt as if Sophie was the victim, and she was the intruding third party.Although Calla

Chapter 99

Calla felt a myriad of emotions rush through her. No wonder Mercer had said that he was going to Morvenia on a business trip. Atlas didn't have any business there at all; he had gone there for Sophie, the woman in front of Calla right now. Calla felt her gut twist. She had believed Mercer wholeheartedly."Since the two of you are so in love, why didn't you stay together?" Calla knew that it was dumb of her, but she still decided to ask. Sophie turned to look out of the huge glass windows, as if she was reminiscing about the past. "My family and Mercer's family were friends, and we grew up together. We were classmates in high school and at college, so naturally, we got together. Both of our families were very happy about it. After all, our standings are evenly matched."The thinly veiled jab about her family made Calla uncomfortable. She knew that she and Mercer were not of the same status at all, and they had never crossed paths before now. That said, Calla hadn't expected So

Once she walked out of the café, Calla felt tears roll down her cheeks, even though she had always been strong.This time, she looked up at the sky, but it was no use. Tears continued pouring uncontrollably down her cheeks.Sophie looked meek and soft on the outside, but she was actually very aggressive. Calla had been destined to lose from the start.She walked aimlessly under the scorching sun, and before long, she was drenched in sweat. However, she did not feel anything. The only thing that she felt was the dull pain in her chest.It was only at that moment that she realized she had fallen in love with Mercer long ago. Although she still didn't want to admit it, the pain in her heart made it impossible for her to lie to herself any longer.This time, she felt worse than she had a few months ago when Tim had cheated on her and run off with a wealthy heiress. She and Tim had been dating for years!This relationship with Mercer had been doomed from the start. She was just a to
