Goodbye, Ex-husband! I'm Pregnant with Your Uncle's Child!

Chapter 3: Chapter 3 Do You Want to be the Other Woman



He stood there with his ex-girlfriend, the woman clinging to his arm.

He just looked on as she was harassed by another man.

Someone had said that if a guy truly loves you, he will be possessive of you.

From across the warm yellow light, Julia Land felt a tearing pain in her heart.

Wesley Turner still thought Julia Land was lying to him and sneered vilely, "Director Quarter is entertaining a beauty right now. Don't try to fool me, Secretary Land. Let's go somewhere else to chat, what do you say?"

Julia Land looked at Noah Quarter and asked indifferently, "Chairman, Mr. Turner is asking if you are tired of me?"

She quietly watched him.

Waiting for his answer.

Noah Quarter, holding Arabella Shaw's hand, walked past her without stopping.

At that moment, Julia Land understood that the answer no longer mattered.

Arabella Shaw turned around, smiling brightly as she explained, "Big Brother Wesley, Noah and Secretary Land just have a superior-subordinate relationship. Don't talk nonsense, or I'll be really upset."

Wesley Turner nodded with a smile, "Alright, alright, I won't talk nonsense."

He saw that Noah Quarter had already left with Arabella Shaw and suddenly pushed Julia Land against the car, kissing her face.

"Wesley Turner, believe it or not, I'll call the police!"

Julia Land, repulsed, pushed him away with all her might.

But her strength was no match for that of a grown man.

Wesley Turner hugged her slender waist, chuckling, "Secretary Land, feel free to shout louder. I'm not scared. Besides, calling the police is useless. I'm just touching and kissing, nothing more."

Julia Land felt extreme anger and disgust.

He was about to kiss her again.

Julia Land's eyes hardened, and she kicked upwards with strength from her knee.

"Ahh!"

Wesley Turner bent over, clutching his lower body.

In the late night, when it was quiet, Julia Land walked out of the police station with a cold face, accompanied by Alexander Strong.

Alexander Strong was also a secretary for Noah Quarter.

"Secretary Strong, could you take me to Wendell Hotel? Thank you for tonight."

Alexander Strong glanced at her, then turned away, "It was the chairman who asked me to pick you up."

Julia Land tugged at the corner of her mouth with just a cold hum.

Where was he when Wesley Turner was making advances on her? Now, she felt no gratitude.

Alexander Strong hesitated, then added an explanation, "Secretary Land... the chairman originally wanted to pick you up himself."

Julia Land raised an eyebrow indifferently, "Oh, and where is he? Why didn't he come?"

Alexander Strong shut his mouth, finding it awkward to continue.

Julia Land glanced down at her phone, only to see Eliza Quarter tirelessly forwarding posts from Arabella Shaw's social circle to her.

She finally understood why Noah Quarter hadn't personally come to pick her up from the police station.

Because he had gone to the hospital with his ex-girlfriend again.

Julia Land chuckled lowly with a hint of self-mockery.

She sent Eliza Quarter a message asking her to arrange a meeting with Arabella Shaw tomorrow.

When the car reached the hotel, Julia Land told Alexander Strong there was no need to walk her in.

She got out of the car, feeling utterly exhausted, and walked into the hotel.

The hotel lobby was quiet at that hour.

As she waited for the elevator, a tall man stood there, talking on the phone.

The elevator door opened, and the man stepped in first.

As Julia Land followed behind, her high heel suddenly slipped, and she instinctively grabbed the man in front of her.

The man steadied her with one hand.

His palm was burning hot.

"...Sorry, I apologize."

Still shaken, Julia Land steadied herself and apologized to the man.

He was wearing a mask, and Julia Land could only see the deep black of his pupils.

Did he resemble the man she encountered in the car?

He had been holding a phone in his right hand, but it fell to the floor as he steadied her. His left hand, which had been holding a cup of coffee, spilled onto his white shirt.

What made Julia Land feel even more embarrassed was the strap on her left shoulder, which had slipped off.

She covered her left shoulder with one hand, pulling up the strap, her ears burning hot.

Tonight was nothing but misfortune.

"Sir, are you burned at all?"

She was just worried that the coffee in his hand was hot.

The man glanced at her and frowned slightly. Bending over to pick up his phone, he said to the person on the other end of the call in a casual manner "Let's leave it at that," and then hung up.

Julia Land apologized sincerely, "I'm really very sorry, I will compensate."

James Thompson glanced at Julia Land again; she was dressed in a gown, her waist slender. He didn't say much else, simply stating, "No need."

The man's voice was deep.

He turned sideways, pressed the button for his floor on the elevator, and lazily stepped back a few paces.

Immediately, the distance between them increased.

Julia Land feigned composure and also pressed the button for her floor.

She lived on the tenth floor, while the man lived on the twelfth floor.

James Thompson looked thoughtful.

Last night in the car, when he saw this woman, he felt she looked familiar.

She resembled the woman who climbed into his bed a couple of months ago and clung to him demandingly.

He thought for a moment and said lazily, "About the compensation, let's talk."

Julia Land stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, halting her step out of the elevator.

Twelfth-floor corridor.

The man had already unbuttoned his shirt stained with coffee, revealing well-defined abs, and he frowned, clearly uncomfortable.

If Julia Land wasn't there, he probably would have taken off his shirt right away.

Julia Land dared not look toward the slightly open chest of the man, she could only raise her eyes to meet his gaze.

"Sir, how much compensation do you need? I'll transfer it to you."

"No need."

James Thompson called Julia Land back only to confirm that sense of familiarity.

Julia Land watched the man with a puzzled look as he swiped his card to enter his room, "....."

Completely inexplicable.

She watched as the door closed and turned to leave the twelfth floor.

**

Inside the South Card Cafe, soothing light music played.

Sitting opposite Julia Land was Arabella Shaw.

Arabella Shaw was a big star, wearing a hat and a mask, concealing her face.

She smiled and said, "Secretary Land, did you want to see me for something?"

Julia Land nodded, the corners of her mouth lifted in a barely-there smile, "Yes, there's one thing."

She put on a reserved demeanor, giving the look of a main wife sizing up her rival.

Julia Land was clear on one thing, if she wanted Noah Quarter to initiate a divorce, one way to do it was to provoke Arabella Shaw.

"Miss Shaw, I hope you don't come to disturb the life between Noah and me. Since you chose to leave him back then, you shouldn't look for him after returning."

People in the circle knew that Noah Quarter once had a beloved ex-girlfriend.

However, Grandma Quarter didn't like Arabella Shaw, so she couldn't enter the Quarter Family's door.

Back then, Arabella Shaw also didn't want to give up her singing career. She chose to break up with Noah Quarter and go abroad to further study music.

"Miss Shaw, since you've given up your relationship with Noah, please give up for good, okay?"

Julia Land continued gently.

Arabella Shaw opened her eyes incredulously, "You and Noah... you guys..."

Julia Land nodded, "Noah and I have been married for two years."

After she said this, Arabella Shaw was stunned and her eyes immediately reddened, "You and Noah got married?"

Julia Land felt like the villainess who tore apart the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, she said coldly, "Yes, we are married."

At this moment, Noah Quarter, seated at the next table, overheard Julia Land and Arabella talking about the marriage.

His handsome face immediately turned gloomy, and his thin lips pressed together, his eyes sharpened.

The cafe's design was excellent.

Each table was partitioned to create secluded booths.

He had initially told her not to tell anyone that they were married.

Julia Land was indeed brazen.

It was just a marriage based on an agreement after all.

Arabella Shaw furrowed her brows, still unwilling to believe it, "Secretary Land, you're lying to me, right?"

Julia Land, "… I'm not lying to you, I'll show you our marriage certificate."

She was well-prepared and took out the red marriage certificate from her bag, opening it for Arabella Shaw to see.

Arabella Shaw removed her mask, revealing her beautiful face.

Arabella Shaw had a pure and pretty face, the legendary girl-next-door look, while Julia Land's appearance was more glamorously beautiful.

"Secretary Land, last night when we were together, Noah didn't tell me that he was already married to you. I could clearly feel that he still loves me."

Arabella Shaw said somberly, referring to last night.

Hinting that they were together last night.

Julia Land kept her smile, nonchalant, "Men are all the same in bed. When he's with me, he also says he loves me."

Noah Quarter at the next table heard this and a cold chill surged through him as he contained his displeasure.

He already had the urge to strangle Julia Land.

How dare she say such things!

Hearing this, Arabella Shaw covered her red lips, tears streaming down.

Julia Land, still finding the provocation insufficient, really worked hard for Noah Quarter to bring up divorce first, "Miss Shaw, I won't stop you if you want to be the other woman."

"Enough!"

A sharp male voice suddenly appeared.

Julia Land turned her head and was met with the imposing figure of an icy Noah Quarter.

He was visibly struggling to contain his fury.

Julia Land's expression stiffened.
