Chapter 10

"Earlene, what are you doing here?"

The moment he saw me, he couldn't hide the spite in his voice.

"What? After I told you last time that you were barren, did you come to the hospital for treatment?"

His words were cruel.

But inside, I was completely unfazed.

Despite feeling physically weak, I mustered up the energy to be sarcastic.

"Treatment for what? I made a special trip just to see you play the proud papa-to-be."

With a pregnant woman next to him this time, Ben couldn't just fly into a rage.

"Show some respect."

I put on an innocent look. "I am being respectful. Didn't the doctor say it herself? Someone else accompanies her to every prenatal appointment. Why don't you ask who that is?"

The pregnant woman looked at me, and the flash of panic across her face was impossible to fake.

It only confirmed my suspicions.

"I'm just offering my congratulations. Why can't you be a little grateful?"
