Despite knowing Lucas and Linda had teamed up to deceive her once more, Chloe found herself surprisingly calm. Instead of anger, she felt a wave of relief wash over her.
There was a time when she detested Linda so intensely that she dreamed of the ultimate revenge—taking away the one thing Linda cherished most, her unborn child. Lucas had already been on the fence about wanting the child, but it was Chloe's words that ultimately pushed him to make the decision to let go.
Chloe had no clue how Linda managed to make such a dramatic comeback, but she had to hand it to her—Linda was a pro at playing with people's emotions. During Linda's absence, Chloe occasionally thought about the child, and guilt would creep in. She realized she had no right to interfere with an innocent life. Seeing the child alive now brought her peace.
She glanced at Lucas, who stood there with his head slightly bowed, avoiding her gaze as if he’d done something unforgivable.
Chloe, however, was straightforward: “Congrats to the three of you.”
Linda, waving their marriage certificate, chimed in, “Chloe, we got our marriage licenses on the same day. Isn’t that something?”
A cold smile played on Chloe's lips: “Yeah, it’s fate, but not the good kind.”
Linda seemed genuinely cheerful, wrapping her arm around Lucas: “Lucas checked with a fortune teller, and they said today was a lucky day. So we figured, why not get hitched today? And look who we ran into!”
