Chapter 939 Heartbroken
Maggie was thunderstruck when she heard the news. Even Heather appeared so agitated that she nearly lost her balance.
In Maggie’s eyes, Alex had always been a righteous man as evidenced by his unwavering resistance to her seduction.
She had initially believed that his loyalty was solely due to his marriage to Heather. However, the sudden appearance of a woman carrying a seven-month-old child raised countless questions in Maggie’s mind.
Maggie had been closely observing Alex, trying to understand the situation by paying close attention to his facial expressions and demeanor. The moment Alex held the baby in his arms, Maggie knew with absolute certainty that he acknowledged the child as his own.
This revelation meant that the woman who had suddenly appeared had not only slept with Alex but had done so repeatedly, resulting in the birth of their child.
It shattered Maggie’s perception of Alex as an upright man who had remained faithful to his wife even when faced with temptation. The image of Alex acting righteous and rejecting her advances while he was with Heather felt like a cruel facade. The realization made Maggie feel as if her head was about to explode.
Tears streamed down Maggie’s face as she closed her eyes and tried to process the overwhelming. emotions. When she opened her eyes, she was met with Kate’s piercing gaze. There was a gleeful expression playing on her face as if she was reveling in her perceived failure.
Prior to this revelation, Maggie had been on cloud nine, believing she held a special place in Alex’s eyes and stood out among his numerous admirers and would ultimately marry him.
Who would have thought that everything had been a facade? Even someone as noble as Maggie felt like a failure in front of Kate.
Kate had not only slept with Alex multiple times but had also conceived a child with him, while Maggie hadn’t even slept with him before..
Overwhelmed by the realization, Maggie came to a decision. “Alex, I don’t think I want to marry you anymore. I’m not feeling well, so I’m gonna go.” Maggie lifted her wedding gown with one hand, covered her face with the other, and walked away.
At that moment, Alex snapped back to reality. He had been so consumed by the shock of his sudden daughter’s appearance that he had completely neglected Maggie’s feelings.
It was their wedding day. It was understandable that she was upset by the unexpected revelation. Alex felt a wave of guilt wash over him.
He wanted to slap himself to wake up from this nightmare, but his hands were occupied with holding his baby daughter, who was sucking her thumb and looking up at him with innocent eyes.
As captivated as he was by his daughter, Alex’s immediate concern shifted to Maggie.
He feared for her well-being and worried that she might harm herself in her current state of mind.
Alex matinctively thought of returning the baby girl to Kate. However, at that moment, he noticed that Kate had intentionally folded her arms to make it clear that she wouldn’t take the baby from him.
“It’s your first time meeting your baby daughter Why don’t you two spend some quality time together?
What’s the rush?” Kate smiled.
