Wendy suddenly stopped turning the door handle. Sharon's voice instantly haunted Wendy's mind.
The words echoed in her mind, "It's yours, Jordan. I have your child!"
She must have been too preoccupied with her happiness that she has totally forgotten the one-night stand between Jordan and Sharon. She was a fool! She should have anticipated this.
She herself had his husband's baby, too.
Inside the room came Jordan's serious words, "Cut the crap, Sharon. Get out of here now. That's not mine."
She didn't know what exactly was happening inside. She could only hear their conversation, "You are my only man. If that baby is not yours, then whose could it be? I have been pregnant for eight weeks already. Eight weeks ago, we slept together at the hotel. It's completely obvious."
Sharon's accusation was followed by an uncomfortable silence. Jordan looked at her. If they had sex that night, why didn't he feel a thing? He would definitely feel something, right?
"Here you are. My B-ultrasound result. Embarrass yourself." Sharon pulled a piece of paper from her bag and put it in front of Jordan.
Jordan saw clearly that the document bore her name and the time of pregnancy. It was true.
There were some footsteps outside and then they heard a military officer's voice, "Wendy, why don't you go inside? Mr. Li is not there? I believe he's here."
Shit! Why was Wendy outside? When did she come? Was she listening to everything they were saying?
Jordan hurriedly pulled aside the chair and rushed outside. But what he saw was only a view of Wendy's back disappearing quickly from the corridor.
Jordan immediately followed her. Wendy was about to reach the door.
He quickened his steps even more and eventually caught up with her at the door.
"Wendy! Wait up!" He grabbed her wrist. Wendy turned around and slapped him on his face.
The deafening slap shocked not only Jordan, but the guard as well. It was not every day that a military officer was beat up by his wife. The seemingly weak Wendy, Mr. Li's wife, slapped him in broad daylight.
As Jordan gaped in astonishment, Wendy shook off his wrist and ran outside with a cold face.
Since this was a military zone, taxis did not really arrive here. Wendy was forced to just walk at that moment.
The happiness she felt on her way here all turned to sorrow——thanks to that man, Jordan and his mistress, Sharon.
Good for him. He got two women pregnant at the same time. But fuck that!
Wendy looked up at the sky and forced her tears back. She forced her lips to curve with a taunting smile.
Jordan stared at Wendy's back, knowing that she had heard the conversation between him and Sharon.
He didn't believe Sharon's baby was his. But why did Wendy believe that? She didn't trust him at all?
Jordan touched his aching cheek and relieved himself, "Her anger just shows her love to me, doesn't it? Oh, why do I have to ruin it?"
With that thought in mind, he rushed into the parking lot and drove his military car outside to where Wendy headed.
Sharon could do nothing but just stare at Jordan's car leaving the gates. She immediately jumped into her own car and followed.
The guard was surprised at the scene, thinking, "Our colonel is so lucky to have so many women falling in love for him. Men like him are just so lucky."
On the roadside was a park, inside which a river flowed. She walked towards the river as she tried to control her emotions.
She now needed some time to straighten her mind. Why would her husband let another woman bear his child?
Was it because of her? What did she do wrong? Was she not as pretty as Sharon? Or maybe he never loved her?
She stopped at the fence surrounding the river and stared at the water, deeply lost in her thoughts.
At that time, her phone suddenly rang. She pulled the phone out of her handbag. Seeing that the caller ID was just Jordan, she hung up without any hesitation.
