He Said the Test Was Over, but My Child and I Were Dead

Synopsis

I only found out late in my pregnancy that my boyfriend of eight years was the Goodwin heir, Charles Goodwin. So, at the Goodwin family's formal dinner, I stood up and admitted in front of everyone that I was the mistress. "I was the one chasing after Charles. The baby I'm carrying is nothing but a bastard." The baby kicked me hard from inside. An hour ago, I thought Charles was finally going to announce our identities and acknowledge our child and me. To win the Goodwin family's approval, I served coffee while heavily pregnant, had hot coffee poured on my hand by his mother, Amelia Goodwin, and crouched down to shine his sister Pearl Goodwin's shoes. I put up with it all. Charles said that if I endured tonight, I'd finally become his wife. My best friend, Sophie Lane, tried to comfort me. "Hang in there a little longer. You and the baby will finally have a home." But at the end of the party, Sophie walked up to the stage, holding onto Charles's arm, and flashed their marriage license for everyone to see. That was when it hit me. My so-called poor boyfriend, who'd been deceiving me for seven years, was actually the Goodwin heir with billions to his name.
