Her question left the reporters momentarily dumbstruck.
Murmurs and uneasy glances passed among them until one reporter timidly broke the silence. “If you're innocent
of cheating, why did you choose to secretly abort the baby?”
Spurred by this, others joined in, their voices overlapping. “Exactly, if it wasn’t a child, why go through an
abortion?”
“You and Mr. Cox have been together for three years. Why would you terminate your first child with him?”
Belinda repeated the question, letting it hang in the air. “Why did | abort the baby?” She inhaled sharply, her
gaze drifting past the cameras and settling in the direction of Kristopher.
At that moment, their eyes locked. Kristopher’s gaze was laden with concealed concern, while Belinda’s bore a
frosty determination.

Taking another deep breath, she broke off their visual connection and began, “Because... it wasn’t his child.”
“By the tI learned | was pregnant, | had already made up my mind to divorce Mr. Cox,” Belinda announced,
inhaling deeply before flashing a smile at the gathering reporters. “Mr. Cox and | had been contemplating divorce
for over a month due to our irreconcilable differences.”
She continued, “It was after we finalized the divorce papers that | discovered | was three months along. Realizing
that my child would be born into a fractured family and lack blessings, | chose to terminate the pregnancy.”
Belinda’s tone was steady and controlled. “Mr. Cox had already made up his mind about the divorce and hadn't
been hor shown any affection. He was unaware of the pregnancy.”
She paused for a moment, her expression softening slightly. “I acknowledge that deciding to have an abortion
without consulting Mr. Cox might seem questionable. However, it was the right decision for me, for Mr. Cox, and
for his current girlfriend.”
She scanned the crowd of reporters, her gaze unwavering. “Are there any other questions about the baby or
anything else?”

From a distance, Kristopher watched Belinda handle the press with a furrowed brow. Despite the barrage of
questions, she never wavered. She recounted their supposed divorce from a month prior with such confidence
and poise that it appeared completely genuine.
Her sincerity made it hard to believe she was fabricating anything.
A mix of fear and confusion stirred in Kristopher. Everything Belinda had stated was true, except for the fake
divorce agreement. He hadn't been home, hadn't seen Belinda, and was unaware of her pregnancy.
If he hadn’t accompanied Cathy to her doctor's appointment that day, he would have remained oblivious to
Belinda’s miscarriage.
These thoughts overwhelmed him, suffocating his breath. Though he justified his actions internally, the harsh
reality still pierced him.
“Kristopher,” Cathy whispered, her voice gently interrupting his turmoil. “Did you truly decide to divorce Miss
Nelson more than a month ago?”
Her soft query carried across the space, clear enough for Belinda and the nearby reporters to overhear. Every
gaze shifted toward Kristopher and Cathy. Under the weight of their stares, Kristopher, slightly frowning, could
only nod. “Yes.”
