Chapter 55

Friday night came, and I dressed up to the nines, choosing a special dress for this dinner. One eventful day, I wore this same dress to visit the doctor for my check–up and found out that I was pregnant with Leo’s child.

Old Laura Green hoped that her husband would be overjoyed to hear this news. But it turned out to be her wishful thinking.

Leo never showed much enthusiasm; he simply did his best to fulfill the role of a

responsible father while I was pregnant. But deep down, I suspect he grew tired of it long

ago.

So, to honor that memory, I selected a small size version of that dress, trying to remind Leo of that heartrending incident. The dress was creamy white like the shining stars in the sky. Simple, yet extravagant. Beautiful in the sense that it was partially exposed on the chest, as it had two intersecting sheer straps that came from the bodice breasts. They were wrapped around my neck, securing the dress.

The long gown was form–fitting, it outlined my hourglass figure perfectly. I was satisfied by my appearance. Though the memories related to this dress skinned me alive, I was hopeful that it would provoke Leo into revealing something.

With my hopes soaring high in the sky, I went to a restaurant to meet my trash husband. It was great that he picked a secure place for dinner. Due to our business dealings, it would be impossible to have an official dinner at a public place. Lakon city’s media was renowned for spreading rumors about the celebrities and business community.

It would be hell to deal with another headache!

Leo’s cautiousness kept my identity a secret, the dim lights and invites were used to ensure the restaurant’s members‘ only policy.

As I walked in, my dress caught on the door, I tried to free it immediately. However, a cold whisper scoffed beside my ears,

“So, clumsy!”
