She Got A Better Man

Elvira stood frozen for a few seconds, certain she must have been mistaken. But she remembered it clearly. One line meant negative, and two lines meant positive, meaning she was pregnant.

Feeling a rush of excitement, Elvira quickly grabbed another pregnancy test, opened it, and tried again. One minute later, the result was unmistakable two clear lines.

Elvira spun around twice in the bathroom, overwhelmed with emotion. But then doubt crept in. She thought to herself, 'What if the test is expired? What if it's faulty?'

She shoved the test into her bag and, in a hurry, left the office. Cole, noticing her sudden rush, asked the secretary what had happened.

"Mr. Bennett, I don't know. Ms. Willis didn't say anything," the secretary replied, just as confused.

Elvira drove straight to the hospital to find Samantha. After hearing what Elvira had to s stunned and stood silent for a while, unable to process it.

Samantha was completely

Elvira, sensing something was off with Samantha's reaction, asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look like that? Didn't you say my previous test results were wrong? Are you really shocked that I might be pregnant now?" Elvira found Samantha's reaction strange and unexpected.

"No, it's just... it's a little surprising to hear you say it so suddenly. Let's go get a blood test, okay?" Samantha quickly pulled her toward the testing area.

Elvira studied Samantha's side profile, still feeling that something wasn't quite right, though she couldn't quite put her finger

on it.

As they waited in line for the blood test, Samantha double-checked with her. "You're sure both of your tests were positive?"

"Yes, both of them. What's going on with you? Are you hiding something from me?" Elvira asked, staring intently into Samantha's eyes.novelbin

Samantha's gaze faltered for a moment, her smile failing to mask her unease. "What could I possibly be hiding from you? We're so close... There's no way I'd keep anything from you."

"Is that so?" Elvira was starting to piece things together. It was clear that Samantha was hiding something.

Once it was Elvira's turn for the blood test, Samantha went in with her. After the nurse drew the blood and handed Elvira a cotton ball to press against the site, they sat in the waiting area for the results. Elvira pressed her again. "Alright, tell me. What's really going on? What are you hiding from me? If you don't tell me, I might just get really upset."

Samantha, realizing she couldn't keep up the charade, rolled her eyes in exasperation. "You're way too sharp. Trying to hide something from you is seriously impossible."

"So, you really are hiding something from me? You want a scold Elvira raised her hand as if to swat her.

"No, please!" Samantha begged with a grin. "Alright, fine... actually, you were upfront with Zach about your difficulties getting pregnant, and he was so concerned with you. He asked me to help him... "He not only got a fake report saying he was infertile but also begged me to play along and tell you that the test results were

wrong."

Elvira's jaw dropped in shock. She never would have guessed that the lie about the test result was a well-intentioned Chapter 287

fabrication, created by Zach to spare her from feeling guilty.

No wonder when Elvira had urged him to come clean to his fartly about his infertility, he refused. It turned out he had. already rade up his mind to take the blame for everything, carrying the weight on his shoulders. Tears welled up in Elvira's eyes as she realized just how lucky she was to have such a thoughtful and selfless man. She couldn't find the words to express her gratitude.

"You really did find yourself a man who takes responsibility. The president of Gilbert Group, no less, asking me to fake a report for you? I was so moved at the time. I nearly cried.

"Now that you're really pregnant, it doesn't matter anymore if III you the truth. Elvira, you and Zach need to be happy. A guy like him will make sure you're never miserable.

"If he knew you were pregnant, he'd be over the moon." Samantha was genuinely happy for Elvira, convinced that she had found someone who would always protect and love her.

"I know. Thank you, Samantha, for telling me the truth. Now I understand how much he really loves me," Elvira said, her eyes red as she hugged Samantha tightly, so moved that she was on the verge of tears.

The results from the blood test came back, but Elvira couldn't bring herself to look. Samantha went to pick up the results and, when she saw them, she nearly broke down.

She had always thought Elvira would never be able to have children, and now, here it was. Elvira was pregnant. It was a complete turnaround. Elvira could have her own child after all.

Samantha walked out with tears in her eyes, and Elvira looked at her expectantly. With a smile, Samantha said, "Sweetheart, you're really pregnant. You're going to have a baby."

When Elvira heard the news, she felt an overwhelming sense of relief. Just moments ago, she had worried that the pregnancy test might have been wrong, and if that were the case she would have been devastated. Now, with absolute certainty, Elvira knew she was pregnant. Her heart finally settled.

As Elvira was leaving the hospital, Samantha was filled with worry. She wanted to call Zach to have him come pick her up, concerned that Elvira might trip or have some sort of accident. Elvira, however, insisted that she wanted to keep the pregnancy a surprise for Zach. Reluctantly, Samantha gave in but couldn't help but keep reminding her. "Just be careful. You can't have any lovemaking for the first three months. It's not good for the baby. This pregnancy is already hard enough to come by, so please, please be extra careful." Elvira nodded in acknowledgment, assuring her she understood as she drove away from the hospital. Samantha, fighting the urge to spoil the surprise, returned to the office, her nerves on edge.

On the way back, Elvira stopped by a store to buy a small gift box. The sleek black box looked mysterious, and she carefully placed the two pregnancy tests and the test report inside. She then drove to the Gilbert Group.

Once at the office, Elvira took the elevator straight to the top floor to find Zach. The secretary informed her that Zach was in a meeting and she would notify him immediately.

The secretary, having been instructed by Zach to always inform him whenever Elvira arrived. She knew that Elvira wasn't the type to just stop by the office without a reason. Normally, Zach would come down to see Elvira, so she figured that Elvira had something important to tell him. Elvira asked the secretary to keep her visit a secret this time, not wanting to interrupt Zach's meeting. She planned to surprise him. The secretary agreed, offering her a glass of juice before stepping out.

Finally, Zach opened the office door and walked in, still frowning, likely dealing with some tough issues. But when he saw Elvira sitting there, his face immediately relaxed.

He quickly approached her and said, "You're here, and you didn't let the secretary tell me? How long have you been waiting?"

"Not long, just two hours. You really are busy," Elvira said with a hint of amusement.

"What did the secretary do? I told her to notify me the moment you arrived. Does she want to be fired?" Zach asked, his frustration showing as he started to move toward the door to find the secretary.
