Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

"We really wish he'd release that land to us. It's of high value and was meant to do a whole lot of good for us, but the bastard..." she clicked her tongue. Sylvie cleared her throat. She didn't have the urge to eat anymore.

I'm... I'm so sorry for...

"Oh, you don't have to be," Victoria cut her off with a smile. "It isn't your fault darling. As a matter of fact, I'm glad you left him already."

Her smile widened as she looked at Westley. "And I'm glad you're with my son. You two look good together"

Sylvie's heart skipped a beat. Oh, goodness.

She chuckled nervously.

T.... thank you, ma'am."

"Please, mum, let her eat. See, she can't even eat anymore, Westley said before his mother would say any more word.)

"Oh, I'm so sorry, dear. Now, do eat up."

But Sylvie couldn't. It wasn't because she'd lost her appetite, but because she didn't feel like eating what was in her plate anymore. And unfortunately, what she felt like eating wasn't even on the table.

When the dinner ended and Westley took her home, Sylvie kept thinking of her relationship with him. Although, they've become really good friends, Sylvie could tell when it was becoming a little above friendship.

Westley was a nice guy, but she couldn't continue leading him on when he didn't know she was pregnant. No man would be in a relationship with a woman who was pregnant for another, so Sylvie was certain he'd leave her the moment he finds out. Reaching home, he led her out of the car as usual and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Goodnight," he hushed.

"Goodnight."

His heart burnt with rage as he refilled his glass, then continued staring at the picture.

In it was a picture of Sylvie and Westley, seated together and having dinner.

She was putting on a red gown, a red lipstick that matched and had a fucking smile on her face. She was looking down at her plate, but Westley was staring at her.
