The baby had to be hungry.

Therefore, Kimberly would be hungry as well. She was surprised when she saw herself in a strange environment when she woke up. It took her a while to remember what she had done today. She rubbed her eyes and got up. No one could be seen in the house.

"Vera?"

No one responded. "Is Vera not back yet?" She thought. She was about to take out her mobile phone to give Vera a phone call.

The door of the kitchen was pushed open at this moment. Vera came out with two dishes on her hands.

"You've finally woken up! Wash your hands now and get ready for dinner."

Kimberly was stunned. "Have you finished preparing dinner? When did you come back?"

"I've been back for a while. I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly," Vera said with a smile. Then, she put the dishes on the table and said, "Go and wash your hands now and prepare the cutlery. I've finished preparing dinner, so you'll have to wash the bowls later."

Kimberly was stunned at first. Then, she came back to her senses after hearing what Vera said. She smiled and got up, saying, "Sure, no problem." She went to the kitchen to take the cutlery. Then, she sat down and enjoyed dinner with Vera.

This was the first time Kimberly could experience dishes prepared by Vera. Her culinary skills were not bad. Vera said while eating, "I prepared several dishes for you. How is it? My cooking skills are great, aren't they?"

"Yeah."

Both of them enjoyed the meal without saying anything. Seeing that Kimberly had almost finished eating, Vera asked, "You said that you have something to tell me. What is it about? Did you quarrel with Maddox again?"

Hearing this, Kimberly paused for a moment before looking at Vera.

All of a sudden, she put down the cutlery in her hands and stared at Vera.

Vera kept on eating. She felt that she was right to not ask Kimberly about this before dinner. Otherwise, Kimberly wouldn't enjoy her dinner anymore.

"Apart from you, I don't have anyone else to talk to. Vera, I want to ask for your opinion."

After eating, Vera picked up a bowl of soup and took a sip of it. "Go ahead."

It was very uncomfortable for Kimberly to keep everything within herself. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Do you always think that I can live a good life with Maddox?"

Hearing this, Vera nodded naturally, saying, "That's for sure. He's your husband. Also, you like him, and he likes you too. What else do you want to do if you don't want to have a good life with him?" "What if I said that I'm pregnant?"

Vera was stunned for a moment. Then, she came back to her senses and said, "Is there any problem with pregnancy? Isn't this better? Your status as his wife would be stabilized after giving birth to his child. Let's see how Sylvia is going to grab him away from you."

Speaking of this, Kimberly suddenly felt a little sad. She lowered her head and said in a self-deprecating tone.

"What if I tell you that Maddox is not the biological father of the child?"

"Well, it's fine if he is not..." Vera replied casually. All of a sudden, she stopped talking. She looked at Kimberly in disbelief.

She swallowed the food in her mouth after a long time. Then, she looked at Kimberly awkwardly, saying, "Sorry, the food was stuck in my throat just now. Can you repeat what you said again?" Kimberly looked at Vera with a wry smile and said, "It's hard to believe, isn't it? We're a married couple, but I'm bearing someone else's child."

"No, you can't say that. You..." Vera realized that she was speaking incoherently. What the hell was going on? Sylvia was supposed to be the troublemaker. However, Kimberly was pregnant with someone else's child. Would Maddox mind this?

It was the first time Vera had been in such a situation. She didn't know what to say to comfort Kimberly now. "This is very incredible for you, let alone Maddox," Kimberly lowered her head and said. She laughed hollowly, bit her lower lip and continued, "Perhaps everything is destined."

"No... What the hell is going on? Why are you bearing the child of another man? Kimberly, are you having an affair?"

Vera couldn't imagine how a married woman would be pregnant with the child of another man. She couldn't think of any other reason except having an affair.

"Actually, it's not the first time I've been married. I've divorced once."

Vera was stunned speechless.

"So, do you mean that the child belongs to your ex-husband?"

Kimberly shook her head again. She had to tell Vera more since she had already told her about all this. However, she would definitely not tell anyone that the child belonged to Benedict. Thinking of this, she bit her lips and said, "I don't know who is the biological father of my child."

"What the hell is going on? Hurry up and make it clear. I'm so worried!"

Vera thought Kimberly was having a conflict with Maddox only. Who would have thought it to be such a serious matter? Seeing Kimberly remaining so calm, Vera was more anxious. She wanted to know everything now.

Kimberly briefly told her what had happened.

"That's it. Things happened so unexpectedly, and it was already too late when I found out about this. I wanted to get rid of the child, but the doctor told me that I couldn't have one or else I would have a great risk of bleeding. Later, I thought... the child was innocent. So I decided to keep it."

Vera swallowed her saliva and said, "Please give me some time. This is far beyond what I would have imagined."

After that, Vera got up and went back to her room.

Kimberly looked at her slender back and felt a little sad.

"Vera would hate me now after hearing what I said. She might think I'm a disgusting woman."

Kimberly sighed after thinking for a while. Then, she got up and washed the dishes. She had promised Vera that she would wash up.

She decided to leave after finishing up.

It would be better if she didn't cause her any more trouble.

Kimberly washed the dishes very quickly. Then, she walked back to the living room to get her things and was ready to leave.

She heard the door of the room open when she reached the porch. Vera came out and saw Kimberly leaving. She asked, "Where are you going in the middle of the night?" Hearing this, Kimberly stopped in her path. She turned around and looked at Vera.

Vera narrowed her eyes and looked at Kimberly strangely. When she saw her holding her bag, she asked in shock, "Are you leaving? What's wrong?"

Kimberly couldn't say anything for a moment. She thought that Vera hated her so she wanted to leave quietly. She didn't want to stay here to make Vera hate her more.
