How to Destroy a Cheater Without Saying Goodbye novel Chapter 154

Blanche's expression was calm. "It doesn't match the dress."

Just then, a staff member brought over a delicate hand chain, the slender ring looping around her ring finger and the bracelet resting gently on her wrist, connecting to a matching necklace. "Mrs. Simmons, how about this one?"

Blanche gave her a polite smile. "It's perfect."

Eddy stepped up behind her and wrapped his arms around her, his large hands gently clasping hers against her stomach.

Admiring Blanche's delicate beauty in the full-length mirror, he noticed the faint trace left by her wedding ring on her finger.

He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, but seeing Blanche in good spirits, he let it go and offered a compliment, "You look beautiful in everything, sweetheart."

As if sensing the moment, the baby in her belly seemed to flutter softly.

Blanche's eyes dimmed a little. The embryo was barely formed; of course it couldn't actually move yet. It was just her heart that had been stirred.

For her unborn daughter, growing up without a father…

Beside her, Healy suddenly grabbed a handful of popcorn and tossed it at Lara's head, his little voice full of bravado. "I'm your big brother, and you have to do what I say!"

Lara burst into noisy tears.

Healy was bossy and willful, just like Eddy—a chip off the old block.

"Healy, enough. Don't upset your mother," Eddy said sharply, and instantly, Healy's bravado evaporated.

Eddy only knew how to bark orders at the kids, never how to be a real father.

Blanche remembered how she'd lost her own father at sixteen, but her mother had raised her well.

Some fathers are more of a burden than a blessing.

She believed that, even if her daughter grew up without Eddy, she would be exceptional.

Blanche gently pushed Eddy aside and knelt to hug Healy, who was still sniffling from the scolding.

For the rest of her life, she would never see him again.

So many words she could say, but only a few mattered now.

"Healy, you were born with every advantage. Your future will be smooth, never difficult. But I hope you don't just follow your impulses—listen to your heart and always do what's right."

"I know you were wrong just now."

Healy buried his face in her shoulder, muffling his words. "I'll apologize."
