Jolene, who had appeared indifferent just moments earlier, now guarded her abdomen visibly upon hearing Esther’s
question. Anxiously, she denied, “No, it’s not his. Don’t make unfounded claims.”
“Most men are straightforward. They don’t grasp the complexities of pregnancy. They only see the surface,” Esther
remarked while seated across from Jolene. “If you want to keep this child, perhaps I can assist.”
“You? How can you help me?” Jolene maintained her guarded expression. “You’re not trying to lower my guard so
you can persuade me to give birth and then take my child, aren’t you?”
“I won’t. I promise.” Esther gazed at Jolene with sincerity and advised, “As an expectant mother, consider avoiding
makeup. Cosmetics can contain harmful substances like lead. Though the risk to your child is minimal, safeguarding
your child as a mother is your duty, isn’t it?”
“How can you assist me?” Jolene asked.

else?”
“I want the child to be born.”
Jolene knew of Esther. In fact, Esther’s divorce from Bradley had stirred up Internet buzz. She couldn’t have not
known.
Nevertheless, what mattered most was that Esther was the woman the man she loved deeply wanted to marry.
Esther had a past—marriage, prison, and motherhood. Yet, Chadwick still wished to marry her, thanks to the Quills’

However, I suggest telling him that you’re carrying his child.”
Esther naively believed that if Chadwick discovered Jolene carried his child, their marriage might be postponed. Yet,
she could also meet the same fate as Selene.
“No!” Jolene threatened, “You can’t utter a word. If you dare, I’ll end my life right before you!”

“You…” Jolene struggled for words.
“You only live once. I once teetered on the edge of death,” Esther said with a bitter smile. “I hope you never
experience that in your life.”
“Can you truly help me?”
Esther nodded.
“Then swear you won’t take my child!”
Esther raised her hand and pledged, “I swear I have no interest in your child.”
She had her own children. Why would she covet another’s?
“Can I really trust you?” Jolene inquired innocently.
Esther couldn’t help but reminisce about her younger self. She had also loved someone with the same fervor as
Jolene and daydreamed about bearing their child.
The innocence of youth would eventually yield to harsh reality.
