She bowed her head, squatted down with her cup, and took a sip. Finn Chandler was a workaholic, couldn’t work without coffee, but at this specialty coffee shop, he only ordered water.

"I went to the hospital for a check-up today."

Her menstrual cycle had always been irregular, and this month’s delay didn’t bother her at all.

Julian Ford mentioned her waist seemed thicker; she just thought she’d been eating too much lately and wanted to lose weight.

Lately, she had become inexplicably sleepy and felt fatigued, then came the symptoms of morning sickness.

Even if she was clueless, she could sense her body was acting weird, so she went to the hospital for a check-up.

"What are you planning to do?"

Serena Sullivan’s gaze drifted downward, wanting to look at Finn Chandler’s belly.

"At least I wore women’s clothing today."

Finn was relieved, having worn a dress to the hospital for the check-up; otherwise, she might have frightened the doctor.

"Hmm." Serena responded lightly. Ever since Julian Ford, Finn loved wearing dresses and high heels. As she thought about it, she glanced under the table to see that Finn’s feet were just bare right there.

"Where are your shoes?"

"They’re too high!"

Finn replied naturally.

"The doctor said pregnant women shouldn’t wear high heels!"

Leaving the doctor’s office, she tossed away the high heels, intending to buy a pair of flats at the mall but had to wait for Serena here, so she walked barefoot straight from the hospital.

On the way over, who knows how much attention she drew.

"At least wear them here first, then talk about it."

Serena replied exasperatedly.

"Can’t wear them, what if I twist my ankle and hurt the baby!"

Finn spoke, then lowered her head to look at her belly, her lips curling into a smile unconsciously.

Knowing she had a baby, she was filled not only with fear but more with anticipation and joy.

This was hers and Julian Ford’s, her beloved man’s child.

"It seems asking you what to do was unnecessary!"

"After falling in love with Julian Ford, you completely became a different person."

Serena said worriedly, unsure if Finn’s deep love for Julian Ford was a blessing or a curse.

"I just want to change for him."

Talking about Julian Ford, Finn’s eyes were full of smiles.

"Serena, I can’t wait any longer about my identity."

Finn said, reaching out to hold Serena’s hand, "I must gather the courage to tell him everything!"

"What if he’s angry and doesn’t accept you?"

Finn’s deceit and concealment were understandable, but Julian Ford might not see it that way.

A man like him, who commands the wind and rain and has a strong desire for control, would only be furious to find Finn approached him under Chloe Finch’s identity.

"Then I’ll hold onto him."

Finn replied with a smile, "After all, I have his child now."

Saying this, Finn felt unsure in her heart.

If Julian Ford got angry and didn’t want her, what would she do?

Previously, she wanted to speak up, hesitated back and forth, and ultimately couldn’t muster the decision.

Because she feared losing.

Hurt by Mrs. Chambers and Pearl Chambers, her father and grandfather didn’t love her.

Meeting Julian Ford, she devoted herself entirely; that was her love, giving her, a near-dying fish, the freshest air.

If Julian Ford didn’t want her anymore, would she really hold onto him till the end?

"Serena, I’m scared!"

Finn softened her voice, looking at Serena with distress.

"It’s nothing," Serena comforted, "Julian Ford might be angry, but he won’t abandon you."

If he truly couldn’t live without you.

But Finn—no, Chloe Finch’s standing in Julian Ford’s heart, only Julian himself knew!
