After living together with Edgar Chapman for two months, I got pregnant. When I was holding the pregnancy test result and wanting to contact him, he was gently accompanying his first love for a prenatal examination.

When he saw me outside the gynecology clinic, a trace of panic flashed across his face. His first love reached out to him and said, "Edgar, my belly hurts."

He nervously grabbed her hand and said to me, "Carly, wait for me for a while. I will settle Lindsey down and then come to find you."

I tightly held the pregnancy test, feeling heartbroken.

He said he had something important to do today. It turned out to accompany his first love for a prenatal examination.

I returned home in a daze. When I saw the photo of him and I hugging each other and smiling, I felt disgusted.

We were in a relationship in our junior year. He pursued me for half a year and under the encouragement of our friends, I accepted his confession.

Everyone said that I would be happy with him.

He hugged me in the crowd and said, "Carly, we will get married after graduation. I will make you happy."

I was moved by him and nodded with red eyes.

My friends cheered and wished us well.

After graduating from college, he wanted to start a business, so I joined him, and our marriage was put on hold for the time being.

He went to meet my parents. Because he behaved well, treated others warmly, and helped with housework diligently, my parents liked him and had been looking forward to our marriage.

My parents even agreed for me to live with him and accompany him in starting a business.

During this period, he would give part of his earnings to his parents and part to my parents every month, and then transfer all the remaining money to me, and he asked me to save it.

He said that when we save up 160,000 dollars, we would pay a down payment on a house and then hold a grand wedding to announce that I was the woman he loved most in his life.

As life got better and better, and our savings reached around 80,000 dollars, our parents urged us to get married and have children, so we didn't deliberately use contraception.

But I didn't expect... just when I got pregnant, I encountered such a disgusting thing.

I felt uncomfortable and leaned over the toilet, retching. I felt so sick.

Edgar rushed back from the hospital and patted my back anxiously in the bathroom, asking, "What's wrong, Carly?

Don't misunderstand me. Lindsey got divorced and is now over four months pregnant. It's not convenient for her to do things alone, so I went with her for the prenatal check-up.

She is independent and won't come to me if she has any problems.

Carly, you won't be so mean, and you won't be jealous of a divorced pregnant woman, right?"

I raised my head, tears welling up in my eyes, and said, "Am I being mean?"

"I didn't mean it... Lindsey... forget it. If you don't like her, I swear I'll never see her again. Otherwise, I will get hit by a car when I go out." He raised his finger and made a promise.

His firm gaze calmed me down a bit.

After all, he was the man I had loved for three years...

"Go out, I don't want to see you for now." I turned my head away and didn't look at him.

He heard that I sounded better and quickly responded, "Okay. I'll go buy you some medicine. Do you have a stomachache? Just wait for me."

I didn't take the medicine he bought.

The next day when I arrived at the company, I found two roses in full bloom on my workstation.

The colleague next to me told me that it was especially given by Edgar, and they were excited and envious.

I just smiled and didn't say anything.

When it was time to start work, the HR brought in a familiar person.

It was Lindsey.

The HR said, "Let me introduce to everyone, this is our new colleague, who will mainly be responsible for the coffee service in Mr. Chapman's office. Her name is Lindsey Wright."

I froze, and Lindsey politely introduced herself to the people around her. She came to me and extended her hand, "Hello, nice to be colleagues with you."

There was provocation in her eyes as if she was declaring war against me.

I replied coldly, "We are not colleagues. You are responsible for the coffee service, and I am responsible for projects."

She froze there, looking weakly toward the door, tears in her eyes, looking pitiful.

I also saw Edgar, he frowned slightly at me, "Carly, come to my office."

I got up and followed him into the office.

As soon as we entered, he had a cold face, "Carly, I explained to you yesterday and even swore. Why did you still embarrass her in public? I thought you would have sympathy."

I clenched my hand, feeling suffocated in my chest.

I pinched my hand with my fingers, "So what? You swore but then hired her as your office's coffee service person?"

He frowned, "I was afraid you would be tired, so I specifically asked the personnel department to hire a cleaner. Who knew that we would coincidentally hire Lindsey."

"Well. What a coincidence!" I looked at him coldly.

Maybe my expression was terrifying, he hesitated and didn't say anything more.

It took a long time for Edgar to say, "Carly, you've changed... You used to be less dominant. You used to know how to take care of me and not suspect me. You wouldn't treat a divorced single mother with such malice."

He sighed and was disappointed in me.

It was as if I had done something unforgivable.

He felt like he was compromising with me, "Carly, apologize to Lindsey. She's pregnant, and she will have wild thoughts. It's not good for the baby."

"What does her child have to do with me? Did I make her pregnant? Why should I apologize to her?" I almost couldn't control my emotions, but I knew that this was in the company. If we argued, it would attract their attention.

I left the office, Edgar stared at me from inside but didn't say anything.

Lindsey was standing outside, holding a cup of coffee.

When she saw me, she passed by with a victorious smile and said in a low voice, "Do you know the power of first love? I'm just standing here and you lose."

Because of anger, I was trembling and finally fainted.

Before fainting, I heard Edgar's anxious voice, "Carly."

When I woke up again, I was in the hospital ward. I was receiving an IV drip and Edgar was sitting beside the bed, holding my other hand and looking at me.

When he saw me wake up, he hugged me tightly and his voice trembled, "Carly, you scared me... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scold you."

His eyes turned red and he was afraid of losing me.

At that moment, I felt that he loved me very much.

But I couldn't accept his connection with Lindsey.

I took his hand away, not wanting him to touch me.

He held me tightly and said, "Carly, I didn't know you were pregnant. The doctor just told me that women's hormones change after pregnancy, so it's easy to have wild thoughts. It's also my fault that I didn't reassure you. Don't worry, I have contacted some partners. There is a company that is short of a clerk. I will contact them tomorrow and let Lindsey go there to work.

She is just my past, and everything I did was just out of pity for her. You should know that I am soft-hearted, right? It is well known that I only love you, and... how I treat you is not only known to your friends but also your parents, right?"

At this moment, he was almost crying due to grievance.

His words kept me silent for a long time.

He would give me gifts that he had carefully prepared for every anniversary and holiday, and he would video chat with me whenever he was free when he was on a business trip. He would always visit my parents first on all holidays, and he gave me almost all his money.

He bought each anniversary gift from his own pocket money.

When I was on my period, he would take care of me and rub my belly.

He usually cooked, did housework, and helped me wash my socks.

None of my friends and parents would believe that he didn't love me.

Even I didn't believe that.

I took a deep breath and asked, "You won't contact her anymore, right?"

"I won't, I've blocked her on WhatsApp and her phone number." He showed me his phone, reassuring me, "You can check it, there's no trace of her. Carly, let's become a family of three... Let's get married."

He took out a box from his pocket and opened it, revealing a diamond ring.

I almost cried.

I was having a hard time accepting what had happened recently.

Seeing that I didn't say anything, he scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I... We just celebrated the holidays a few days ago, and I don't have much money saved. This is not a real diamond, it's only worth more than 30 dollars, don't despise it. When we get married, we will buy a big diamond ring."

At that moment, he was embarrassed like a young boy.

I nodded moved and extended my finger.

The moment he put the ring on my finger, he immediately stood up with excitement, picked me up, and wanted to spin around. "Carly is going to marry me!"

I quickly held him down and pointed at the infusion needle in my other hand. He hurriedly put me down and then informed our parents that we were going to get married.

At the same time, because he was happy, he gave all employees of the company three days off.

"Carly, today's proposal was too hasty. I will prepare again in these three days and do it again." He kissed my forehead.

I couldn't help but smile.

I saw Lindsey again on the day I was discharged from the hospital.

Because Edgar was preparing to propose, he contacted a driver to pick me up.

Lindsey stood at the entrance of the hospital, holding her waist, looking at me with a smile. "Congratulations, Edgar wants to propose to you."

I stopped. I had been thinking a lot in the hospital these days. I didn't need to be so hostile to a divorced pregnant woman.

Moreover, Edgar deleted her on WhatsApp and her phone number.

"Thank you," I said to her.

She still smiled and said, "However, he may not be able to attend his proposal to you."

I stared at her coldly. When the driver called me, she still looked at me like a winner.
