Chapter 3
Alec naturally put his arm around her
shoulders as he responded, “Let her be.
She’s very shameless.

“You know that when she was chasing me for
three years, no matter how coldly I treated
her or how much I scolded her, I couldn’t
drive her away. She just likes to be bullied.”
As he spoke, he pinched Edwina’s arm and
raised the corners of his mouth, “Women are
really troublesome. Siblings are better.”

Edwina immediately twisted her body
artificially and poked his chest muscles with
her fingers, “That’s annoying. I’m obviously a girl, otherwise how could I get pregnant?”

Alec snorted and deliberately put his hand on her chest, “You are so flat and you are still a
woman?”
The two of them were laughing and joking and then they slammed the door.
The world seemed to have been muted, leaving only the sound of my own rapid

heartbeats. Each beat was like a
sledgehammer hitting my chest, causing my
entire body to ache.
The elevator finally arrived and I pressed the
close door button in panic.
The door slowly closed, but the elevator did
not start.
At this moment, Alec’s mother called
suddenly, “Kimberley, I know everything
about Alec and Edwina. It was indeed Alec
who was wrong and I have scolded him

severely. Don’t take it too seriously.

“There are always bumps in the road for a
couple. Some things should be let go. As long

as he still has you in his heart, life can still go

“Edwina also said that she would not
separate you. You don’t have to worry about the baby after it is born. I, as a grandmother,
will help take care of it. Just pretend that
nothing happened.”
I pursed my dry lips and said, “Auntie, forget

it.”
Seeing that I would not listen, her tone
immediately changed, “How can you be so
stubborn, Kimberley! Although you have a
low level of education and are only an
undergraduate, which is a far cry from us
Alec, you should understand the basic
principles, right?
“He just made a mistake once and he
confessed it to you, but you want to punish
him with one blow? Don’t you feel tired of
being so picky?”

I tightly grasped the phone, my knuckles
turning white as I answered, “Auntie, I’m not being picky. Since you’ve always looked down on me for my low education and my
family’s business, I’m barely worthy of your
son.
“I’m withdrawing now, your son deserves
better.”
Without waiting for her response, I hung up the phone.
The Miles Family was full of leaders in the

education field.
Every time there was a family gathering, the
elders always pretended to be concerned
and asked, “What is Kimberley’s education
level? Which university did you graduate from? What is your major?”
I told them the name of the school, they
exchanged glances, shook their heads and
sighed, “I’m afraid this school will lower the
average academic level of our Miles Family. I
heard that children’s IQ is mainly inherited
from their mothers. Our Miles Family will have
a hard time in the future!”

Alec just sat there with a smile on his face
and never said a word to me.
He also disliked me.
I remembered when I confessed my love to
him for the first time, he looked at me with
contempt, “Kimberley, my girlfriend must
have a college entrance examination score of
at least 700. Your score is just above the
undergraduate line, right?”
Later he reluctantly accepted me, probably
just because I had been pestering him for

In the elevator, I slid down the cold wall and
sat on the floor, my breathing becoming more

and more rapid.
After an unknown amount of time, the
elevator finally started to descend.
The moment the door opened, a slender
figure stood against the light.
I could no’t see his expression clearly, but I
knew he must be frowning, just like he did
7:00 AM Mon 2 Jun

every time he saw me being wronged.
He raised his hand, gently wiped away the
tears on my face with his fingertips and then
held me in his arms.

“Kimberley, don’t let yourself become like this
in the future.”
A strong smell of alcohol hit my face. I
wondered how much alcohol he had drunk.
This usually gentle and polite man just swore
on the phone.
