    It was clear to me that she was just trying to deny the obvious.

    As someone who had a habit of nning, whenever I faced uncertainties, I would always prepare multiple backup ns for myself. I had even decided on how I shouldpensate Daniel for my actions.


    Be it giving him money or finding a caretaker for him, I believed that I had to take on half of the responsibility. Even if there was a chance that Frances would scold and beat me, I would bear with it.


    I was ready to have a proper conversation with Nichs. As for that photo of me, he imed to have deleted it, yet it had somehow made its way to social media.


    Regardless of whether he was involved or not, I intended to judge his responsibility toward the entire situation based on his exnation and his attitude toward me. But I never thought there would be another woman in his room! My husband was currently discussing having an IVF with another
