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."

He pulled me to the corridor, found some ice and carefully applied it to my face.

I lowered my head and murmured, "I didn't push her..."

"Yeah." He responded lightly, neither getting angry nor asking any further questions.

I know him too well, this silence is the biggest denial.

If he believed in me, he would definitely argue for me.

If you don’t believe it, just keep silent.

But if you don’t believe it, why are you so gentle to me?

My tears welled up and fell on the back of his hand one by one.

He pulled his hand back as if he was burned and stood up. "If you want to see Sophie and the child suffer here, go back first."

I grabbed the corner of his clothes in panic, crying unconsciously, "Just trust me this time, okay?"

He sighed deeply and pried open my fingers one by one, as if he was completely disappointed. "Audrey, I can ignore what you did. Who made me love you? But at least, you should be honest with me."

A familiar cell phone ringtone suddenly sounded. It was Sophie's exclusive ringtone, "How far do I have to go before I can get into your heart? How long do I have to go before I can get close to you..."

I once asked him, "Is it appropriate to set a special ringtone for female colleagues?"

He was very puzzled, "The little girl likes this song, I just did it for the sake of convenience, don't think too much about it."

Watch him pick up the phone and leave without looking back.

I sat on the bench, half of my face was red and swollen, and suddenly I started crying and laughing, like a patient with an incurable disease.

He said he would be honest, but did he do that?

I went back to get my luggage and was about to go back to my parents' house, but then they called me via video.

Dad covered his chest, pointed his finger at me, and cursed.

"The Pierce family said that you went to the hospital and went crazy, and hurt a little girl who had just given birth. What were you thinking? The hospital director is your father's friend. Why did you send a message to the group to ask us what happened? You have brought shame to our Moore family!"

Dad started panting heavily again while talking. Mom was busy feeding him medicine and turned to glare at me.

"Alexander has explained it clearly. He and the girl are colleagues. You have to go to such lengths to force them together, don't you?"

Glancing at the wound on my face, he sneered, “You deserve it!”

"What did I do wrong that you all want to blame me?" I took a deep breath and said hoarsely, "Why would you rather trust others than me?"

"What should we believe in you? Just tell me!" the parents said in unison.

Looking at their expressionless faces, I suddenly lost my temper and said, "Forget it."

I hung up the video in a hurry.

I can’t let them see my tears again, or else I’ll get asked, “What else can you do besides crying?”

At this moment, I didn’t even know where I could go.

My phone suddenly vibrated. It was a message from Liam Carter:

"Audrey, when will I be able to take the top position?"

"Now."

Without any hesitation, I replied to him immediately.

The man who had the lowest GPA in the grade became a different person in his senior year and insisted on getting into the same university as me.

What followed was several years of crazy pursuit, a hundred confessions, and I rejected him a hundred times.

Who would like Was at the bottom of the class, who is even more useless than Struggled academically?

Even if he looks sunny and handsome, and his smile makes your heart skip a beat, it won’t work.

After graduating from college, Alexander and I got together.

He went to study in Switzerland, but the news never stopped.

From daily inquiries about each other’s well-being, to sharing of daily trivia, to asking “when can I take the top spot” every few days.

I never responded, but he was like a tireless robot who never gave up.

Thinking of this, I sent another message:

"We'll get married in three days and become the groom right away. Do you want to take that position?"

"Bang!"

The door was suddenly kicked open.

Alexander stood at the door with a gloomy face, staring at me.

"Audrey! What the hell did you do to my clothes!"

"Varied……"

"Shut up!"

He rushed over, grabbed my wrist and pushed me against the wall.

I have never seen him like this before. His eyes were red and his breathing was trembling.

"I wore the shirt you sent me to hold the baby, and within ten minutes she developed a rash all over her body and suffered respiratory failure! She's in the ICU now!"

"She's just a newborn baby! Audrey, give me a fucking explanation!"

"I didn't do anything!" My wrist was pinched by him and it hurt. I struggled desperately, "Let me go first..."

Before he could finish his words, he suddenly swung his fist at me.

I instinctively closed my eyes and tilted my head. I heard a loud bang beside my ear and his fist hit the wall next to my ear.

When I opened my eyes, I saw blood oozing from his knuckles.

His voice couldn't stop shaking, "Alexander, did you really want to hit me just now?"

He seemed to wake up suddenly, loosened his grip in panic, and hugged me in his arms.

"Audrey, I, I panicked for a moment. I'm sorry."

"I said, I don't care what you do. But this time you are extremely wrong. Sophie cried and said she wanted to die with the baby. You go kneel down and admit your mistake to her, okay?"

The hot liquid dripped onto my neck. "Just think of it as doing it for me. I promise you, as long as you admit your mistake, we can still get married."

This man who had broken his ribs during flight training and didn't shed a tear, actually cried now

If a man cries, it means he has a weak spot, and Sophie and the child must be his weak spot.

I looked at his trembling shoulders and suddenly laughed.

"Okay, I'll admit my mistake."

He was visibly relieved, "We'll go to the hospital now."

As he said that, he was going to hold my hand.

I shook it off expressionlessly: "I can walk by myself."

"Okay," he nodded, but then urged anxiously, "Hurry up, I'm afraid Sophie will have a breakdown..."

As soon as we reached the door of the emergency room, Sophie fell to her knees and hugged my legs tightly, "Sister Audrey, please, I'm willing to give you my life, as long as the baby is safe."

She cried heartbreakingly and her whole body was shaking.

I was so angry that I laughed and reached out to pull her.

"Stop pretending. I should be the one kneeling. I beg Miss Yang to spare me. I don't want Alexander anymore. I'll give it to you."

She raised her head suddenly, a glimmer of triumph flashed in her eyes, and then immediately changed into a look of horror.

"No, it's not. Brother Alexander will always be yours. How dare I have such ambitions? I just want to live a quiet life with my baby."

"Get up!" I completely lost my patience.

She suddenly grabbed my hand and I shook it off in disgust.

She used the force to fall backwards, the back of her head hitting the floor with a thud, and she let out a shrill cry.

"That's enough!" Alexander rushed over to help her up, looking at me as if I were a scary monster. "Audrey, if you don't want to apologize, don't come! Sophie just gave birth and the baby is still in critical condition. How can you bear to bully her?"

I lowered my head, not really knowing what else to say.

Anyway, he wouldn't believe it, right?

After a long silence, Alexander smiled self-deprecatingly.

"Forget it. What else do I expect you to explain? I saw you hurt Sophie and the child time and time again. Go back. You'll only cause trouble if you stay here."
