Lately, many production teams had been inviting the two of them to sing theme songs, ending songs, and inserts for movies and television dramas.

That afternoon, Nancy went to the studio to pick up Lily.

Knowing how close Lily was to Adeline, Nancy insisted on inviting Adeline home for dinner.

Adeline was afraid of running into Victor and naturally didn’t want to go to the Luke family

estate.

But she wasn’t very good at turning people down. Nancy was so warm, and Lily clung to her hand, begging. Unable to refuse such sincerity, Adeline eventually went to the Luke family

manor.

She knew Victor was a leading scientist, usually buried in work.

She silently prayed she wouldn’t run into him that evening.

But things rarely go as one wishes. That day Victor came home early. The moment she stepped into the living room, she saw him coming down from the second floor.

Thinking about how Victor already had a fiancée and was about to become a father, while that night she’d drunkenly kissed and touched him, she felt overwhelmed by embarrassment, not knowing where to put her hands and feet.

Victor’s expression froze, as if his soul had fled his body.

He hadn’t expected Adeline to be at the Luke family home.

He knew he had touched Marilyn, that he no longer deserved Adeline. She already had a senior she liked. It was impossible between them.

Forcing down the chaos in his mind, he was just about to greet Nancy, Lily, and the others as usual, when the front door banged open–Marilyn walked in.

And then he heard her voice.

The voice that sent his heart straight into hell.

“Victor, I’m pregnant!”

Marilyn truly felt she was blessed, even heaven seemed to favor her.

Her plan had been to fake a pregnancy.

Then, that very morning, she’d suddenly felt nauseous. After a hospital visit, she discovered she was actually more than three weeks pregnant.

The day before Adeline and Victor’s encounter, she had desperately wanted that thirty- thousand–dollar bracelet.

So she’d

Clearly, the child in her womb had been conceived that night.

Pleased with herself, she cast a proud, scornful glance at Adeline. Then, looking back at Victor, she put on a pitiful, fragile expression. “I know we’ve had our differences. But I really don’t want to fight anymore. Victor, you’re going to be a father. Let’s live well together as a family, okay?”

Adeline’s face went pale as paper.

Marilyn had already told her she was pregnant.

She had even reminded her many times not to mention it in front of Lily. She claimed she had quarreled with Victor and didn’t want him to know yet.

But even though Adeline had known, witnessing their so–called happy moment now still left her reeling, desperate to flee.

“You’ve got to be kidding…”

Nancy pressed her temples hard.

She genuinely liked Adeline.

She knew Lily struggled socially, and having a friend as good as Adeline made her happy for her daughter.

She hoped the two would support and trust each other in their careers.

She had been glad Adeline came to dinner.

But the news of Marilyn’s pregnancy made her vision darken again and again, and her appetite vanished.

Still, it was Adeline’s first time at their home. She didn’t want family drama to embarrass her. She wouldn’t interfere.

Taking a deep breath, she said, “Forget it. You’re an adult now. Your life is your decision.”

“Xinghui, Lily, ignore them. Let’s go cat.”

After all, the child wasn’t hers. What did it have to do with her?
