He was dressed in a beige casual suit which made him look tall and graceful, with a demeanor that was both gentle and refined.

He flashed a gentle smile. “A friend of mine is in the hospital, just came to pay a visit.”

“Okay,” I responded.

“And you? Why are you here at the hospital by yourself?”

I lifted the medical report I was holding. “Came to pick up my check-up results.”

Mark’s expression turned serious. “Everything okay?”

“Yeah, everything’s fine.”

I had just had a company health check not too long ago, and just like last time, everything was within normal ranges. Except, now there was a baby growing inside me.

Mark nodded. “Haven’t had dinner yet, have you? How about we grab something to eat together?”

“Steven and Christine will be joining as well,” he added, perhaps to avoid any misunderstandings.

Feeling my stomach rumble, I agreed. “Sure.”

I didn’t know what I would have eaten if I had gone back alone anyway. And with more people around, it was easier not to overthink things.

Mark handed his car off to his assistant to drive back, and then joined me in my car to head to the restaurant they had picked out.

It was an old diner known for its lamb stew.

Tucked away in a cozy corner of an alley, the diner had a low-key facade but was incredibly popular.

Several cars were parked at the entrance of the alley, making it quite congested.

We had to park outside and walk in, where Christine and Steven had already arrived.

Seeing me, Christine’s eyes lit up in surprise. “You made it! I thought you were busy tonight.”

“Well, I ran into Mark,” I said.

Christine, with her sharp gaze, whispered to me, “No luck?”

“I didn’t even get a chance to tell him.”

“What’s up?”

“Margaret’s pregnant.”

“What? She’s pregnant too?”

Christine’s voice, initially low, spiked in volume drawing the attention of Steven and Mark.

Frustrated, Christine glared at Steven. “What are you looking at? Birds of a feather flock together.”

“What’s going on now?” Steven couldn’t help but laugh.

Christine held my hand and turned to Steven to grill him, “Did you know about Margaret being pregnant?”

“Margaret? PREGNANT?!” Steven was genuinely shocked, then added, “I had no idea!”

“Didn’t you invite Bryant to dinner today?” Christine pressed..

“I did.”

“Where is he, then?”

Steven’s gaze darted, avoiding both me and Christine, until finally relenting under Christine’s piercing look. “Margaret tried to commit suicide because of some rumors at work, so…”

“She cut her wrists,” I interjected.

I

Christine’s lips twitched. “The kind of cut that heals in three minutes if not taken to the hospital?”

Remembering Bryant covered in blood, I looked down. “It seemed pretty deep, she lost a lot of blood.”

“Tsk.”

Christine clicked her tongue. “She’s really going all out. At this rate, Bryant’s going to have a hard time shaking her off, especially now that there’s a child involved…”

“Stop spouting nonsense,” Steven cut in, still showing some loyalty. “It can’t be Bryant’s child.”

“What, were you there holding their hands, making sure they used protection?” Christine’s blunt words would have shocked anyone not accustomed to her way of speaking.

Steven was flustered. “No, they never slept together.”

“So, all those nights Bryant wasn’t home, he was with you?” Christine was skeptical.

A bittersweet feeling washed over me.

“I can’t talk sense into you!”

In a rare show of defiance in front of Christine. Steven looked at me. “Don’t listen
