But as far as she knew, Elysia and Dorian hadn''t been intimate for almost two months now, and Elysia had barely spoken to Dorian during that time. Could it be that this child wasn''t...


    Sensing her thoughts, Elysia immediately said, “It''s Dorian''s child. Don''t overthink it."


    Amara breathed a sigh of relief.


    After all, Elysia and Dorian were still married. If Elysia were pregnant with someone else''s child, things could get reallyplicated.


    Elysia exined, "A few days ago when I went to the doctor, he told me I was about fifty days pregnant. My periods have always been irregr—sometimes once every two months, sometimes twice in one month-so when it didn''te this time, I didn''t pay much attention.”


    "Buttely, I''ve been throwing up everything I eat. I knew something was off, so I went to get checked. I didn''t expect that I''d actually be pregnant."


    A faintly sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.


    "Who would''ve thought that our rtionship would fall apart, and then this would happen? I wanted to tell you a few days ago, but you were having your own problems, so I didn''t say anything right away."


    Elysia kept that ironic little smile as she spoke, but suddenly, tears welled up and spilled over.


    Amara quickly put her arm around Elysia''s shoulders. "Ely, don''t cry. What are you going to do now? Do you want to keep the baby?"


    Elysia had never been particrly fond of children, but she wasn''t exactly against having them, either.


    If her marriage with Dorian were normal, she would have definitely kept the baby. But now that their rtionship was on the verge of breaking down, would she still want to?


    Elysia bit her lip, stopped crying, and looked up. “Ama, I haven''t told you this, but Dorian has actually been really attentive to metely."


    "When I''m at work, he''ll ask what I''ve eaten, he buys me all sorts of gifts, and he evenes to pick me up after work He''s been paying


    attention to every little detail in my life it''s honestly almost overthe top


    “But I''ve been really impatient with him. I hardly reply to his messages, and when hees to pick me up after work, I dont even want to get in the car. It''s always him chasing after me"


    "If I''d found out I was pregnant while things were like that, I might have wanted to


    keep the child, reconcile with him, and try to be a normal couple.”


    "But do you know what he''s been doing behind my back?"


    Amara''s heart skipped a beat. "What has Dorian done?"


    Elysia took out her phone and pulled up her photo gallery. "See for yourself."


    A bitter smile appeared on her lips.


    "I actually thought he''d stopped seeing Jessica, but it turns out they''re still meeting secretly."


    "Sometimes Jessica will ask him for


    favors, evente at night, and hejust


    goes We sleep in separate rooms.


    now, so if he leaves in the middle of


    the night andes back before I''m up, I''d have no idea."


    “And Dorian sometimes deletes their chat history. I used to check his phone, but never found anything. Then, one time, he didn''t get the chance to delete it—and I saw everything."


    "My hands were shaking when I read those messages. I immediately took photos with my phone... This was just a short while ago."


    "Ama, can you even imagine how awful I felt?"


    Amara looked at the screenshots. Even though Dorian didn''t say anything tantly out of line, his concern for Jessica was obvious. Amara was so angry, her own hands started to tremble.
