She Got A Better Man

Sandy was truly curious about what could have made Rowena, once so full of energy, become so downcast. In the past, Rowena had been aggressive, always ready to clash with her. Sandy had even considered getting her father to divorce Rowen hoping that would get rid of her, and she had teamed up with her brother to kick Rowena out.

But her father had warned her sternly never to bring it up again If he were to divorce Rowena, the family would lose everything. She might had to live by working for a living. Sandy didn't want that at all. Even though she could still rely on her monthly allowance, it seemed too little for her now. She missed her old life when things were much more carefree. The current life felt tight and suffocating, and she was almost at her breaking point. However, despite all her worries, the thought of working to earn her own money never crossed her mind. "Hey, Rowena, what's been going on with you? You look like you've lost your soul," Sandy couldn't hold back her curiosity and finally asked.

"None of your business, you little bitch!" Rowena glared at her. She had been sinking into depression ever since discovering that Elvira wasn't her biological daughter. She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she couldn't shake the despair. However, that didn't mean she wasn't still filled with hatred toward Sandy.

Hearing the vicious insults, Sandy was furious and shot back, "You're the evil bitch! You killed my mother. Now, me and my brother have to live without a real mother! Why don't you go die!"

"You're full of crap! Your mother died because of you, you disgusting daughter! It's your fault! You killed your mother, and you've killed my child too! I'll kill you, you bitch!" Rowena suddenly snapped.

She stormed into the kitchen, grabbed a kitchen knife, and lunged toward Sandy with murderous intent. The sight of Rowena wielding a knife shocked Sandy, and she screamed as she ran out of the house.

Although the two of them had fought countless times, neither had ever resorted to violence like this. Sandy was truly terrified. She screamed as she ran out of the house.

Rowena chased her for a while but gave up when she couldn't catch her, throwing the knife aside and retreating to her room.

Sandy immediately called her father, screaming, "Dad, if you don't divorce that old bitch, she's going to kill me! She chased me with a knife!"

Uninterested in their constant fighting, Liam lazily responded, "If she's chasing you, just run. She'll chase me with a knife too when I get back."

"Dad!" Sandy nearly exploded with rage.

"Enough! I've got things to do here. Don't cause any more trouble," he said, dismissing her and hanging up.

Sandy, now even more infuriated, tried calling Liam again, but he wouldn't pick up.

She was really on the edge of a breakdown. In the villa, she could avoid seeing Rowena by staying in her room, but soon they would be moving.

After the move, they'd be living in a flat where they'd see each other constantly. She felt like she was going to lose her mind.

Elvira's injury had nearly healed, and her pregnancy had reached the three-month mark, with the babies now stable. After a check-up, the doctor confirmed the babies were growing healthily and unaffected by her injury. Elvira and Zach were both happy

hear the news, and Samantha was also relieved for them.

She gave a gentle reminder. "Elvira, you ne She gave a gentle reminder. "Elvira, you need to watch your diet. Don't let the babies grow too large. You're carrying twins, and a large baby could cause complications during delivery." "I know, I'll be careful," Elvira replied with a smile.

Zach, still anxious, asked, "Is there anything else we should watch out for? I'll write it down."

"Keep things gentle in your intimacy," Samantha said with a raised eyebrow, adding, "Though you're past the first trimester, you should still be careful."

Elvira's face flushed.

"Alright, I got it," Zach said without any embarrassment as he tightly gripped Elvira's hand.

On the way home, Elvira refused to speak to him, irritated. Zach pulled her hand to his lips and kissed it. "Are you angry?"

"Can you stop bringing that up in front of others?" Elvira glared at him, her beauty only making him yearn for her even

more.

"Honey, I'm asking because I'm really eager," Zach said as he wrapped his arm around her, his hot breath brushing her ear, sending a shiver down her spine.

"Zach, can you tone it down? Let's talk about this at home," Elvira said. She worried he might act recklessly in the car, feeling it would seem too frivolous now that she was pregnant.

"So you're saying we should wait until we're home? Fine, let's go home now," Zach said, immediately instructing the driver to head back.

"It's still morning... we need to go to the office!" Elvira sighed in exasperation.

"We can go in the afternoon. I just want to go home," Zach replied, his hand pressing hers down, signaling his growing desire.

Elvira was completely speechless.

At home, Zach was passionate, but as they began, he remembered the doctor's advice and was much gentler than before. Afterward, he sighed in contentment, still feeling satisfied despite not being as enthusiastic as in the past. He kissed her repeatedly, his love for her growing deeper each day.

When Cole arrived at Elvira's office, he had brought some desserts.

"More desserts? You know I have to watch my weight," Elvira said as she continued working on her computer.

"Just try a bite, no need to eat it all," Cole said, opening the box and pushing it toward her.

Since Elvira had returned to work, Cole had been bringing her treats every day. He would watch her eat, chat with her for a bit, then leave.

"It's a waste, don't buy these anymore. If you want to buy something, get me some fruit instead." Elvira laughed.

Cole nodded obediently. "Okay."

Since he had already bought them, Elvira didn't refuse and took a couple of bites. The taste was delicious, but she didn't want to eat too much. She set the fork down after a few bites. "How was your check-up today?" Cole asked casually.

"It went well. The babies are stable now, and everything's fine. No more risks," Elvira replied with a smile.

"That's good. Well, I'll leave you to it. You can get back to work," Cole said, packing up the leftover desserts and leaving without staying long.

Elvira felt that something was a bit off with Cole today, but she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong, so she let it go and continued with her work.

Back in his office, Cole, who usually didn't like sweets, ate the leftover desserts. After throwing the packaging in the trash, his expression became resolute.
