They Took My Uterus While She Took My Place in His Bed novel Chapter 8

We walked quite a distance away from the animal hospital.

I turned to Aiden, thanking him for stepping in earlier.

But he just looked at me, confused by my gratitude.

"What's there to thank me for?"

"Didn't we agree that I'd cover Max's medical expenses?"

I hesitated for a moment before realizing what he meant.

Seeing that he wasn't dwelling on what happened with Liam, I actually felt relieved.

That was for the best.

We took the dogs for a walk.

But my little troublemaker and his golden retriever just couldn't get along, so we ended up walking separately halfway through.

Later that night, Aiden sent me a video.

It was his golden retriever dragging him straight into a giant mud puddle right after a fresh bath. All that effort wasted.

I laughed and sent him a couple of reaction GIFs.

Life went on, easy and uneventful.

Except for Liam constantly blowing up my phone.

So, I blocked him.

Two days later, my medical leave was up, and I had to return to work.

I'd always held a senior position at Bennett Corp., but I'd been out for a while due to my health.

This was the perfect chance to officially resign.

Right as I reached the front entrance, I ran into Mrs. Bennett.

She had spent her whole life worrying about Liam.

She adored him and wanted only the best for him.

Once, I was her worst nightmare.

But through hard work, I earned her approval.

For a time, I became the best choice in her eyes.

But now, because I couldn't have children, I was once again her biggest disappointment.
