After Proposing a Hundred Times, He Wants His Illegitimate Child to Recognize Me as a Mother

Everyone in Eastwood City knew it. Julian Blackwood, the most influential CEO, had loved me for eight years and proposed 99 times.

I was deeply moved, willing to abandon my adventurous exploration career and return from Iceland to the warm, comfortable city.

But three years into our marriage, Julian brought home a woman with a visibly pregnant belly.

That’s when I realized: all that time, he wasn't just preparing his proposals. He’d found a stand-in to ease his loneliness.

“Anya, I know you still dream of exploring, and you don’t want to have children. I’ll give you your freedom.”
