My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 172

Sienna cast her a perplexed glance, confusion swimming in her eyes.

Zelda took her phone into the master bedroom and locked the door behind her.

She scrolled to an unsaved number, stared at it for a few seconds, and tapped the call button.

It rang four times before the line connected.

A gruff male voice answered, "Zelda?"

Zelda's tone instantly softened into a sultry purr. "Big Brody, it's me. I've missed you. Can we see each other tomorrow?"

Brody paused for a second before letting out a sleazy, arrogant chuckle. "Missed me? A woman like you never thinks of me unless you need something. Just like last time."

Zelda lowered her voice, making it even sweeter. "But I came to you, didn't I? Tomorrow, Big Brody. At our usual spot."

The line was quiet for a moment before Brody finally replied with a simple "Alright," his tone laced with an ambiguous smirk.

After hanging up, Zelda opened her closet and began picking out an outfit for the next day.

Just then, the sound of the front door opening drifted up from downstairs.

Samuel was home.

He marched upstairs, pushed open the master bedroom door, and his face darkened when he saw Zelda casually flipping through her dresses.

"Are you not going to explain what happened tonight?"

Zelda paused her movements and turned to face him, her expression shifting into one of pure innocence. "Honey, it was wrong of me to keep this from you."

"But I only did it for this family. You know Sienna's pregnancy had been high-risk from the start."

"She took a bad fall last time and lost the baby. We didn't dare tell you because we were afraid you'd be heartbroken."

"You've always doted on Sienna. We didn't want you to suffer that kind of grief."

Standing in the doorway, the fury on Samuel's face slowly began to ebb away.

He let out a heavy sigh, turned on his heel, and retreated into his study, shutting the door behind him.

Seeing that he had dropped the subject, Zelda knew she was in the clear.

She turned back and resumed browsing through her wardrobe.

Early the next morning, making sure Samuel had already left for work, Zelda took her time getting ready.

She applied a fresh coat of bold lipstick and slipped into a dress with a plunging neckline.

She knew exactly what Brody liked.
