Sweet Subterfuge by Trina Duo

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Larissa Seymour only realized that Travis Hardy may have cheated on her after seeing the pile of pregnancy supplies in his Amazon shopping cart.

Back when Travis was wooing her, Larissa had told him frankly that she had no desire to have children. Travis was the one who said, “That’s fine. It’s even better if it’s just the two of us.” Only then did Larissa agree to be with him, and they got married.

So, the pregnancy supplies were definitely not for her.

Larissa thought for a moment. Of all the relatives and friends Travis had, the only one who had recently gotten pregnant was a female subordinate of his, Amber Fox.

The last time their department had hosted a team gathering, she’d forgotten her keys and gone to Travis for his. She saw Amber rubbing the tiny bump on her stomach while sitting next to Travis. Their postures were definitely more intimate compared to their other colleagues.

Larissa had not felt comfortable with it then, but when Amber greeted her graciously, she thought that she was reading into it too much. But now…

A sudden thought occurred to her, and she quickly checked Travis’s previous orders.

Aside from the same pregnancy supplies in the shopping cart, there were also all sorts of luxury cosmetics and skincare products, as well as a limited-edition Chanel handbag.

If she remembered correctly, Amber had had that very Chanel handbag with her that day.

Having connected all the dots, Larissa felt her scalp tingle, as if someone had pulled hard on her hair. Her chest felt tight too, and she nearly had trouble breathing. At the same time, she also had a little bit of hope—what if… What if…this was all just a coincidence?

Larissa was not desperate to confront Travis.

Today was the last Friday of the month. As usual, their department was going to host a team gathering again. She called Travis and asked if he was allowed to bring family with him.
