However, before she could tell him she was doing her prenatal test, he hung up the phone.

Anthony was her husband, and in the two months since he had gone away on a business trip, this was the first time he had taken the initiative to call her.

Genevieve was ecstatic enough to hear from him despite him sounding as indifferent as usual.

‘He remembers that it’s our third wedding anniversary today, she thought gleefully. ‘He must have invited me to dinner because he has a surprise for me!‘

Her originally haggard face turned a little red, and her eyes were bright as she left the hospital with her medical report in hand.

“Are you and Anthony only married on paper? Do you both have your own separate lives?”

“Is that child yours? Or is he a product of Anthony’s infidelity?”

Recently, there had been rumors of Anthony having an illegitimate child, but Genevieve did r not believe them.

“My husband is very busy. We have no children of our own yet, and he certainly does not have an illegitimate child. Those are just rumors,” she answered. “We love each other very much, and I trust him.”

Three years of being married to Anthony had trained her to handle these unwelcomed questions and situations well.
