Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

At night in the Carter residence, Winona hung up the phone and sat on the bed, her eyes filled with uncertainty. She suspected that Victor might have learned something recently. Otherwise, she couldn’t explain why his attitude toward her changed so much.

She felt uneasy and thought, ‘If Victor had found out about my affair with Robert, how could he possibly have remained silent?‘ Winona gritted her teeth.

She had secretly taken the baby in her belly for a check–up without the Carter family’s knowledge and confirmed it was a boy. If her child was going to inherit everything from the Carter residence, then Victor couldn’t be allowed to live.

Winona looked at Robert, who was sleeping like a log beside her. She pinched her arm hard, let a few fake tears fall, then reached over and shook Robert awake.

Robert was shaken awake by Winona, feeling a bit annoyed. He glanced at Winona’s belly, which kept him from getting really angry, but his tone was still a bit grumpy. “What’s wrong? It’s the middle of the night, why aren’t you asleep and making a fuss?”

Winona felt a little wrong. Recently, Robert had started chatting again with a college student, and she had seen their messages, which made her sick to her stomach.

But she had to endure because she couldn’t confront Robert directly yet. During her pregnancy, she risked her own well- being to keep him close.

Winona shed a tear and looked at Robert, saying with a choke in her voice, “I just had a bad dream and needed some

comfort. Are you losing patience with me? I knew it. Your declarations of love for me were nothing but lies.”

Robert couldn’t understand why a pregnant woman could be so sensitive, always complaining about not eating well and having nightmares. There was never a moment of peace. However, his feelings for Winona were special, so he felt a bit more sympathetic towards her.

Seeing her genuinely scared, he had no choice but to calmly comfort her. “Nightmares aren’t real, they don’t count. You’re just overthinking things, which is why you have nightmares. It’s late, so just go to sleep.”

Winona paused, looking a bit lost, which only confused Robert more. “Winona, what’s really bothering you? What did you dream about?”

Winona lifted her head, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face, looking incredibly pitiful. In a soft voice, she said, “I think… I think Victor might have found out about us.
