“If it weren’t for her coercion, I wouldn’t be marrying her,” Justin blurted without the slightest restraint.
Then, he flipped them over and pinned Mabel beneath him.
“Darling, your fiancée is really here.”
Placing her hands against his chest, Mabel pointed in the direction of the bedroom door.
“That’s impossible! I just saw her off, so how could she…” While saying that, Justin couldn’t help glancing at the door. “Anna? Why are you here?”
The moment he spotted me, he froze instantly.
He swiftly scrambled off Mabel, his gaze brimming with panic as he regarded me.
At that very moment, his desire had long vanished without a trace. Panicked, he didn’t even have the time to cover his birthday suit.
Mabel, on the other hand, pulled the covers around herself and looked at me with a derisive sneer tugging at the corners of her mouth.
By then, my face was already stained with tears. Inundated by wrath and hatred, I wanted to vent at the cruelty of the truth, but I merely spun around to leave.
Justin quickly chased after me with a towel around his waist, his gaze radiating guilt. “I can explain, Anna…”
“What else is there to explain? I saw everything clear as day just now, so what else do you have to say?”
While I was hurting so much that I couldn’t even breathe, his offer of an explanation gave me a glimmer of hope.
But just then, Mabel appeared in Justin’s shirt. Her wavy curls were draped over her shoulders in a tousled mess. At that moment, she appeared all the more alluring.
She sauntered right up to me with a hint of defiance in her eyes. “Reese is Justin’s child.”
What did she just say? Reese? Her three-year-old child is actually Justin’s?
