Alexander Pierce's female colleague is pregnant and is about to give birth.

When she came to my house with her big belly to ask for Children's Day gifts, I was decorating the wedding room.

I asked him hoarsely, and he said innocently: "I just donated sperm to her. I have a clear conscience towards you."

After that, he took her to the mall to pick out gifts.

I directly synchronized the family group and cancelled the wedding.

But everyone thought I was being unreasonable.

Mrs. Pierce said earnestly: "Alexander is good-looking and well-educated. Such genes should be passed on to more people, which can also contribute to the fertility rate."

Mr. Pierce sneered: "He didn't cheat on you, why are you making such a fuss?"

My dad was so angry that he had a heart attack: "You stubborn bastard! How dare you cancel such a good marriage?"

My mother cried and said, "If you cancel the engagement, you will never get married in this life!"

I replied with red eyes: "Then I will never get married!"

But someone sent a message: "Audrey Moore, when will I be in the position?"

……

In the evening, Alexander carefully helped Sophie Young into the house.

The two bought a whole box of toys for their unborn child.

Sophie gently stroked her pregnant belly, and the two smiled at each other, their faces filled with the joy of becoming parents soon.

Seeing me, Sophie smiled and handed me a small gift box. "Sister Audrey, this is a gift I picked specially for you. I just found out today that you care so much about this. Just consider it... my little apology."

I threw the gift box into the trash without even looking at it.

Sophie's smile froze instantly, and tears fell like beads from a broken string, "Sister Audrey, I... I'm sorry."

She choked and hid behind Alexander.

Alexander immediately protected her behind him and looked at me helplessly.

"Audrey, don't do this."

"I just responded to the unit's call for high-quality gene donation. Sophie just happened to be single and wanted to have a child."

"We are just ordinary colleagues, there is really nothing wrong."

"Ordinary colleagues?" My voice trembled. "Saying good morning and good night to each other every day is an ordinary colleague? Sharing the same playlist is an ordinary colleague? Blocking her from drinking at a dinner party and taking a long detour to send her home after overtime is also an ordinary colleague?"

He pinched his brows tiredly.

"You're here again. Haven't I explained all these things to you? You're just suspicious all the time and think too much."

I sneered.

His explanation was laughably pale, something about normal communication between colleagues and seniors taking care of newcomers.

Even though it was full of loopholes, I chose to believe it again and again.

But after five years of relationship, I am unwilling to let it end like this.

Gritting my teeth, I pointed to Sophie's belly and tested him.

"Okay, let's just assume that I overthought and I misunderstood you!" I stared at Alexander and tested him, "Let her abort the baby, and I'll pretend that nothing happened and the wedding will go on as usual."

"Impossible!" Alexander raised his voice suddenly, and suppressed his anger, "The child is Sophie's. I have no right to decide."

Sophie's face turned pale instantly, and she suddenly knelt down in front of me.

She held her belly tightly with both hands, her voice choked with sobs, "Sister Audrey, there's really nothing going on between me and Brother Alexander. The baby is already eight months old, and he was kicking me just now. I can't, I can't..."

She was crying so hard that her eyes were wet and her whole body was shaking.

Alexander's face was tense and he struggled for a few seconds, but he finally relented.

He helped her up and smiled weakly:

"Audrey, if you ask her to abort the baby now, what's the difference between that and cutting open her heart?"

I looked at him steadily, with a sneer on my face, "Why, are you feeling sad?"

Alexander was obviously startled, and then showed a painful expression.

"I didn't expect you to be so cruel. If this is a condition for marriage, then we are indeed not the same kind of people... Let's break up."

"Sister Audrey, Brother Alexander is innocent, don't take your anger out on him!" Sophie suddenly burst into tears, "If you want to blame someone, blame me. I can't bear to leave my child... but I will die now to prove our innocence!"

Before she finished her words, she rushed to the balcony and pretended to flip out.

My heart instantly rose to my throat and I subconsciously rushed over.

Alexander had already panicked and quickly chased after him.

But before we could get close, Sophie collapsed on the ground, crying and gasping for breath.

Alexander pulled her into his arms, his whole body trembling.

After a long while, he raised his head and looked at me with cold eyes. "Audrey! Your unwarranted slander almost killed Sophie!"

His eyes were cold, as if he was looking at a stranger.

"She's just a little girl and pregnant. You can just stand by and watch, but I can't." His voice was trembling.

After saying that, he carefully picked up Sophie and held her sideways, walked in front of me and said sternly, "Get out of the way!"

I froze in place and opened my mouth, "I didn't mean to..."

"Brother Alexander, the baby seems to be coming out." Sophie suddenly moaned weakly and then fainted.

"Sophie!"

Alexander's face turned pale instantly. He pushed me away who was blocking his way and rushed out the door holding Sophie in his arms.

I fell to the ground, biting my lips hard, but I couldn't suppress the chill in my heart.

I stayed awake until dawn, and my phone finally lit up with a message from Alexander:

"I was too anxious last night and spoke too harshly."

"Audrey, I'm sorry."

My nose felt sore and tears welled up instantly.

Over the years, every time we had a fight, he was the one who bowed his head first, and I would take the opportunity to forgive him.

But this time it's different.

I will never be able to get over this hurdle.

Before I could reply, he sent me another photo.

It's a photo of him and his newborn baby.

The tiny baby was held carefully in his arms, and he looked down at the child with eyes as gentle as spring water.

"Sophie was born prematurely, but fortunately both mother and daughter are safe."

"The baby looks a lot like me."

"She has no relatives, so I have to take care of her in the hospital for three days."

"Let's postpone the wedding for a week. I really can't take care of so many things right now."

These seemingly ordinary words, every word, pierced my heart.

I stood up numbly, tore off the wedding characters on the wall one by one, picked up a pair of scissors and cut the wedding dress into pieces.

My fingers were shaking uncontrollably as I packed my luggage.

As soon as I put on the suitcase, Mrs. Pierce pushed the door open and walked in, her face full of joy.

"Alexander asked me to bring him some clothes to the hospital. As a grandmother, I was also anxious to see my granddaughter."

Seeing that I didn't say anything, she took my arm affectionately and said, "Audrey, Alexander was wrong this time. He shouldn't have hidden the sperm donation from you and hurt your reputation. But it's not an unforgivable thing after all, right?"

"Auntie knows that you two have a deep relationship. How can you break up because of such a small matter? Let's not take the angry words you said in the group yesterday seriously."

"Come on, come with me to the hospital to see the child. Let's give Alexander a way out and put this matter behind us."

She dragged me away like a zombie, and when I came to my senses, I was already standing at the door of the ward.

Sophie lay weakly on the hospital bed, with tear marks on her pale face. It was obvious that she had suffered a lot during childbirth.

Alexander was holding the baby tenderly and humming a lullaby softly.

Mr. Pierce smiled for the first time. "Alexander is the captain. Let's name this child PlanePierce. He will inherit the aviation business!"

"What nonsense!" Mrs. Pierce said angrily, "How can a girl be named like that?"

She couldn't wait to reach out and hold the child.

Alexander dodged and said, "Mom, you don't know how to hug her. Don't hurt her."

He caught a glimpse of me out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up, "Audrey, come and see her. Her little hands and feet are so cute."

He lowered his head to kiss the child, but suddenly stopped, panicking like a child who had done something wrong, "No, no, Daddy can't pass the germs to you."

I have never seen such a childish look.

It turns out that he is so clumsy and gentle when he becomes a father for the first time.

This is the first time I've seen his childish side like this.

He couldn't wait to show off his joy to the whole world, but that shouldn't include me.

I pulled the corners of my mouth stiffly and turned to leave.

Alexander quickly followed and carefully held the child in front of me, "Audrey, look, her nose and mouth are exactly the same as mine, right?"

I lowered my eyes and looked, and that little face really looked very much like him, as if they were carved from the same mold.

The resemblance stung my eyes and my throat suddenly felt choked and painful.

I pushed the swaddling clothes away coldly, looking at Alexander's expectant eyes, and suddenly I didn't want to follow his wishes, "Take it away, it looks so disgusting, it makes me annoyed just by looking at it."

The child cried out "wow".

Alexander's eyes instantly turned cold, and he patted the child gently to comfort him with concern.

Mrs. Pierce's eyes pierced through her like a knife. "You are the most annoying one!"

Mr. Pierce pointed directly at the door, "You are not welcome here, get out!"

Sophie in the hospital bed suddenly woke up.

"Sister Audrey..." She looked at the Pierce family pleadingly, "I want to talk to Sister Audrey alone."

After the door of the ward was closed, Sophie apologized, "Sister Audrey, I don't want to separate you and Brother Alexander. He really loves you. In fact, it was Brother Alexander who was drunk that night that we..."

My mind buzzed, "Not sperm donation?"

She turned her face away.

"It was Brother Alexander who said he wanted to keep it a secret from you because he was afraid you would be sad."

"When I found out I was pregnant, it was already three months. He was furious and said he would give me a hush money after the baby was born and asked me not to mention it again."

"Then why are you telling me now?" I looked at her coldly, "Why did you deliberately come to my house with a bulging belly? Why didn't you keep it a secret from me for the rest of your life?"

She obviously didn't expect that I would expose her so directly. Her expression changed again and again, and finally she pursed her lips and said nothing.

I smiled sarcastically, "Now that he and I have broken up, and your child is born, you three can live happily together. What else are you worried about?"

She suddenly glared at me, with a weird smile on her lips.

The next second, she actually fell off the bed right in front of me, fell to the ground with a thud, and then screamed in fear.

"Sister Audrey, I know I was wrong, please don't hit me!"

I was completely stunned.

Before I could react, a huge force pulled me away.

“Bang!”

My cheeks burned with pain and I instantly tasted blood in my mouth.

Mr. Pierce pointed at me with a sullen face, "You bastard! Is the hospital a place where you can run wild?"

He raised his hand to hit him again, but Alexander stopped him: "Dad, she's my fiancée, I'll handle it."
