On the night of her birthday, as Charlotte was about to make a wish, her friends teased her. One of them said, "Charlotte, every year you wish for a baby. This year, it better come true." Charlotte smiled. Under the expectant gaze of her husband, Andrew Grant, she silently made her wish. She said to herself, "May Charlotte and Andrew never cross paths again, not in this life or the next." She had made this decision three days ago. Earlier that month, for the fifth time, the pregnancy test still showed only a single line, not the two Charlotte desperately hoped for. That afternoon, planning to go to the hospital for a more thorough check-up, she happened to see Andrew's car speeding away from their home. A sudden unease settled in her heart. Almost instinctively, she followed him. She trailed him all the way to a suburban villa district, where a provocatively dressed woman stood waiting at the entrance of one house. As soon as Andrew parked, he rushed out of the car and pulled the woman into his arms. She giggled coquettishly. "Always in such a hurry! Though you're with Charlotte every day, making her drink that contraceptive tea, you still act so eager when you come to me. She really can't satisfy you, can she?"
