No More Mrs. Forgotten novel Chapter 43

She had just dropped a nuclear bomb, the kind that obliterated everything in its path.

She successfully tied everyone to a burning stake, making sure no one could escape or walk away unscathed.

At that moment, Paula, who had been listening from the sidelines, hurriedly stepped in. "Emeline, sweetie, you can't be this devastated. You can't cry like this; it's terrible for the baby."

Paula's own eyes brimmed with heartbroken tears.

She might not necessarily be heartbroken for Emeline, but she was definitely heartbroken for Caleb's only surviving bloodline.

That child was going to be her entire world, the continuation of the Fletcher legacy!

Paula's intervention made this psychological chess match infinitely harder to win.

Emeline lowered her hands, her eyes blurry with tears, and said, "Mom, I know. I'm trying my best to hold it in, but I..."

She didn't finish the sentence, but the unspoken accusation seemingly pointed straight at Sharon like a loaded gun.

Right on cue, Paula looked at Sharon.

Sharon felt a sudden, suffocating wave crash over her.

It was as if refusing right now would make her the villain, the ultimate sinner of the century.

But once again, Josiah took control of the narrative. Like a ruthless, veteran negotiator, he stepped in to stabilize the collapsing situation.

Josiah said calmly, "I'm curious what you mean by 'genuinely connect with'. What do you like? What do you want to talk about? I think... I could handle that. For the sake of the baby, I can clear my entire schedule and keep you company throughout your pregnancy. We can talk about whatever you want, and buy whatever you'd like."

As Josiah delivered this methodical, sweeping offer, the atmosphere turned thick and silent.

Many of the quiet bystanders suddenly found themselves feeling immensely envious of Emeline.

That was Josiah Schuyler, after all!

To an outsider unaware of the toxic history, it sounded like a billionaire tycoon confessing his undying devotion to the love of his life.

The level of indulgence was off the charts.

Even Emeline was briefly stunned; it was as if Josiah had just handed her the keys to the kingdom.
