She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 407

Martha's stomach was tied in knots. She knew perfectly well how strict Delilah was when it came to raising her daughter. If she kept her mouth shut now and something even worse happened later, Martha would never be able to handle the blame.

After agonizing over it, she realized she couldn't just turn a blind eye.

Martha eventually went to Delilah and confessed everything.

Upon hearing the news, the warm smile vanished from Delilah's face, replaced by a suffocating weight on her chest.

It wasn't long before Lyra was summoned to her mother's bedroom.

"Are you taking birth control?" Delilah's voice was heavy, her chest tight with disappointment.

Lyra's hands slowly curled into fists at her sides.

When Lyra didn't deny it, Delilah's tone grew sharp with frustration. "You have disappointed me so much."

"Everything I've taught you about self-respect and valuing yourself, you've completely thrown out the window? Those pills are terrible for your health. How could you just take them recklessly? Is that man refusing to take responsibility?"

"No," Lyra argued quietly.

That night, Rowan hadn't used protection. Lyra had been so preoccupied with plotting Jasmine's downfall that she entirely forgot to remind him, forcing her to quietly buy the pills afterward to fix the mistake.

She had thrown the box in the trash, even burying it under some scrap paper to hide it. She never expected it to be found.

Delilah stared at her daughter, her eyes brimming with heartache. "Lyra, how could you be so careless with yourself? You've never disappointed me like this before."

"Tell me, who is it? Is it Zane Sutton? Or Caspian Jameson?"

Lyra's lips parted. "Mom, can you please stop guessing? It has nothing to do with them."

Delilah felt a throbbing headache coming on.
