Jerrold froze for a moment, clearly not expecting Lilah's meeting with Catherine to be about such a topic.

His voice carried a rare hint of unease.

"You already know?"

"Of course. If it weren't for Sugar's tip-off, I wouldn't have figured it out. Honestly, you're something else. Instead of sharing your thoughts with me so I could help, you've been brooding over it by yourself. Lucky for you, I guessed it right."

Jerrold's lips twitched into a faint smile, finally understanding why Catherine had seemed so preoccupied after returning to the office.

Mr. Zhang, standing nearby, overheard Lilah's words and couldn't help but feel exasperated.

He finally remembered what he had forgotten Last time.

Despite his efforts to keep things hidden, Brenda had still found out. It was undeniable—- a woman's sixth sense is truly uncanny.

Still, he had to admit, Brenda's open-mindedness was admirable.

Mr. Zhang smiled, sincerely wishing Jerrold and Catherine the best.

Having learned the truth, Jerrold ended the call, making a Light remark about how Lilah always meddled in his affairs.

Outside, Catherine was immersing herself in work, hoping that staying busy would help her forget what had happened that afternoon.

"Ding"

Her phone buzzed with a message. She glanced down and saw a text from Brenda.

[Catherine, Jerrold just called me. He already knows I'm trying to find him a match, and I've rarely seen him this happy.]

[Do you remember Miss Su? I'll be inviting her over in a couple of days. Could you help me observe how compatible they are?]

Reading the two consecutive messages, Catherine felt her chest tighten, and a dull ache began to spread through her stomach.

She placed her left hand over her abdomen, while her right hand typed a reply to Brenda.

The Harris family was extraordinary, and Jerrold was far out of her league.

She had been foolish to dream otherwise.

Still, no matter what happened, she didn't regret it.

Jerrold was the kind of man she loved deeply, no matter the circumstances.

Now that he was about to be matched with someone else, it was time for her to leave.

As for the child, she would give birth to it and raise it, far away from Jerrold's life, never disturbing him again.
