All Chapters of The Day I Saw Him with Her: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"Congratulations, you're four weeks pregnant."My period was one week late, so I decided to have a checkup, only to be told I was pregnant. This baby was very much an accident. I got out of the consultation room and stood quietly in the corridor, my hand on my belly. I was spacing out, wondering if I should keep it.I had always been frail. If I aborted the baby, I might never get pregnant again. Then, a commotion broke out in the crowd."Whoa, that's Melissa and her boyfriend! They're the perfect match, aren't they?""He's always there for every prenatal checkup. They're so in love.""Their baby will be gorgeous. I mean, look at the parents!"Without thinking, I looked at the crowd and saw Melissa Lichten and Lawrence Nielsen. Melissa went everywhere with her alleged boyfriend for nearly seven years, and everyone thought they were a couple.We had gone out for dinner on Valentine's Day, all three of us. Some paparazzi found us and took a lot of pictures. The netizens cursed me,

Lawrence grabbed the papers, tore them apart, and stormed off. He was tall and walked fast. I couldn't catch up to him, but I wasn't planning to, so I texted him. 'I'll be at home. If you don't show up in two hours, my lawyer will file for divorce. You'll shoulder all the consequences that come from it.'If the scandal between him and Melissa got out, I could clear my name, but I was a major shareholder of Starlight Entertainment. Lawrence was the CEO, while Melissa was our celebrity. Their scandal would cost me a fortune.That was one of the reasons I endured the humiliation all these years. I checked the time and drove home. Lawrence came back an hour later. He sat on the couch, silent and expressionless."I printed some new ones." I handed the divorce papers to him.Lawrence took them, his expression darker than ever. He was clenching the papers so hard, they were creasing up. Coldly, I said, "Don't test my patience, Lawrence. Tear that up a second time, and I'll see you in cour

Melissa's fans hounded and cursed me.'You tried to hook up with Mr. Nielsen while he was drunk? Can you actually go any lower? #ZoeStink''Mr. Nielsen and Mel's got a kid. They're about to get married, and you're doing this? Get out of the entertainment industry! #ZoeStink''Get away from him, Stink! Why do you try to steal everything Mel has? Have you ever looked into the mirror?'Those were the nicer insults. There were others that cursed my family and called me a cunt. Just going through those comments almost soiled my eyes. I called Lawrence. "The divorce certificate will be sent to us in a month. You don't have to show off your love now."The more Lawrence showed his love, the worse the curses and insults I received. No one would like to be cursed so much, not even me.Lawrence said coldly, "We're about to get divorced. You have no right to control who I date. If you're having second thoughts, we can go to the city hall and cancel the divorce. However, you have to stay away

Lawrence had been so busy recently that it took a great toll on him. There were bags under his eyes, and he even had a stubble now. He also lost a lot of weight. He looked worse than the time Melissa dumped him. Lawrence asked, "It's been a month. Are you feeling better?"I picked up a teacup and took a sip. "You didn't ask about my health after the abortion, not even the days after that. Don't you think it's too little and too late now? Feels like fake concern to me.""I was just looking forward to a baby, but you took it away from me without even asking. How could I not be resentful?""I don't think you cared about the baby, given that you're in no shortage of children."Before this, Lawrence was the high and mighty one who held all the cards in his hands. Now, our positions were switched. He frowned and was about to throw a tantrum, but he held back.A little awkwardly, he explained, "Melissa's baby isn't mine. We never slept together."I admired my new nails and nonchalantl
