He Lost Me to His Best Friend novel Chapter 587

Talking to someone brilliant was always effortless. Before Scarlett could even get the words out, Julian already knew exactly what she was thinking.

She felt a little embarrassed. "Yeah. How did you know?"

Julian offered a small smile. "A pregnancy is a huge deal. And whether two people actually slept together is something only they would know. It's perfectly normal for you to wonder."

"When I came back home on leave, she made dinner. She spiked my food."

"I didn't suspect a thing. When I woke up, we were in bed together. I was furious when I realized she had set me up again. Initially, I had no intention of forgiving her, but a short time later, she told me she was pregnant."

"A child is innocent. I was shocked, but also genuinely happy—mostly because my parents had wanted a grandchild for so long. That was when I started second-guessing myself. I wondered if I had been too cold to her. Since we were married, I thought I should let go of my resentment and actually try to make it work. I started fulfilling my duties as a husband, trying to treat her right. I had planned to stay by her side through the pregnancy, but then I was suddenly called up for a highly classified project."

"It was a top-secret infrastructure initiative between our country and Country A. I had no choice but to go. I was worried she'd feel isolated and stressed during the pregnancy, so I called Yardley and asked him to keep an eye on her... Neither of us ever imagined the absolute trainwreck that would follow."

Hearing this, Scarlett finally understood the whole picture. She let out a long sigh.

"Sylvia is her own worst enemy. She had a winning hand and completely destroyed it."

"I heard the Schmidt family deeply regrets claiming her. They're now spinning a story that the DNA test was flawed and she's not actually Craig's daughter. They're cutting all ties so her mess doesn't sink them."
