Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

They had been plagued by numerous questions ever since the Morris Corporation’s anniversary banquet. The doubts had been swirling in their minds, and while they had managed to come up with answers to most of them, they still sought confirmation from Nelly.

“So, are the things we’ve seen in the news all true?” Ross asked, his eyes fixed on her. Nelly grinned at them, a hint of mystery in her expression.

“The news reports many things. Which specific matters are you referring to?” Tommy jumped to his feet, eager to get to the bottom of things.

“We’re talking about you and Mr. Morris. Are you really married? Are those three children yours and Mr. Morris’s?” Nelly glanced at them before nodding.

“Yes, that’s correct. However, not everything that the media reports is accurate.” “What do you mean?” Nelly smiled faintly, her words dripping with intrigue.

“What I mean is that he’s my ex-husband.” The room fell into stunned silence. They gaped at each other, unable to comprehend what they had just heard.

“You two are divorced?” Nelly nodded.

“Y-Why?” Ross, who had assumed Nelly and Alpha Kilian were secretly married, couldn’t hide his surprise. Unexpectedly, their relationship was not what he had imagined. “To be more precise, we got divorced many years ago. As for the reasons… I don’t think I can disclose them all,” Nelly said, her tone tinged with a sense of secrecy. She had nothing to hide as the truth had already been revealed. She was merely informing her colleagues of the facts.

“T-Then what is your relationship with Mr. Morris now?” Ross asked, hoping for some clarity. Tommy patted him on the back.

“Do you really have to ask? Just look at how they acted at the anniversary banquet. It’s obvious they’ve reconciled!” Ross was about to let out a sigh of relief, thinking that his suspicions were correct. But to his surprise, Nelly uttered, “For now, we are just sharing custody of the children.” Once again, everyone was left dumbfounded.

“W-You two haven’t reconciled?” Tommy exclaimed. Nelly shook her head, her expression unchanged. The others fell silent, their minds filled with confusion. Why weren’t they back together? They seemed meant for each other. Mr. Morris was an eligible bachelor, and Ms. Jackson was beautiful and charismatic. Moreover, judging by their interaction, it seemed highly unlikely that they weren’t back together.

At that moment, one of Nelly’s colleagues couldn’t help but ask, “Ms. Jackson, are you really a mother?” “Yes, that is true,” she replied, nodding. “A-Are those your biological children?” The colleague remained unconvinced. After all, Nelly didn’t appear to have given birth before, let alone look like the mother of three children. She looked more like a young maiden than anything else.

“That’s because I gave birth to them at a young age, and I had more time to recover,” Nelly joked. Laughter filled the room. A divorce should be a sad and devastating event, but Nelly seemed to be enjoying herself. On the contrary, she appeared to be having the time of her life.

That’s when another colleague, unable to contain their curiosity, asked, “Ms. Jackson, is Mr. Morris interested in reconciling with you?” Nelly hesitated, unsure of how to respond. “That…” Sensing her hesitation, Ross quickly chimed in, eager to fill in the blanks.

“Of course he does! Just look at the way he looks at her during the anniversary banquet. It’s obvious he wants to get back together!” Ross was about to say more, but Tommy interrupted, bringing up a memory from their hospital visit.

“Do you remember that time we went to the hospital? I felt something was off when I saw Mr. Morris staring at us so unfriendly.” “Yes, that’s true. And his protectiveness towards Ms. Jackson at the banquet was evident. I wouldn’t believe it if he said he wasn’t interested in her,” another colleague added. “Exactly!” Ross and Tommy agreed in unison. The conversation continued, with Ross and Tommy turning their attention back to Nelly.

“Did we get it right?” Tommy asked, raising an eyebrow. Nelly beamed at them.

“Believe whatever you want.” At that moment, another colleague approached, speaking to Nelly in hushed tones. “Ms. Jackson, was Mr. Morris the one who drove you here this morning?” Oops… Did someone see us? Nelly pondered on how to respond when someone else chimed in, “How did you know?”

“Someone took a picture and sent it to our office group chat,” the colleague replied. Ross and Tommy quickly pulled out their phones and searched for the picture. The image showed a car parked outside the entrance, with Ross and Tommy standing on either side of Nelly. The two guys were taken aback when they saw the photo.

“T-That person sitting in the car behind… was that Mr. Morris?” Ross asked, his eyes locked on Nelly. After a brief moment of contemplation, she nodded.

“He gave me a ride to the office because he happened to be passing by.”

To Ross, it didn’t matter if it was a coincidence or not. The important thing was that Alpha Kilian was indeed sitting in that car. A bitter expression spread across Ross’ face as he was rendered speechless. Meanwhile, Tommy looked at Ross in confusion.

“What’s wrong? Even if that was Mr. Morris, it just confirms our suspicions, right?” Ross regarded Tommy as if he were a fool.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Look at the picture. Look at us. Don’t you think Mr. Morris will be jealous?” Tommy’s face paled as he examined the image once more. Then, another colleague chipped in, amusement lacing their voice.

“Judging by the angle of the photo, if I’m not mistaken, Mr. Morris is staring at you two from inside the car. I don’t think he looks pleased.” Ross and Tommy’s faces turned even paler.

“If Mr. Morris gets jealous because of this, you two might just disappear from the face of the earth someday.” As the others continued to speculate, Ross and Tommy turned to Nelly, their expressions pitiful. “Ms. Jackson…” “It’s alright. Behave yourselves!” Nelly smiled at them, her eyes filled with a motherly warmth.

Ross and Tommy were left speechless. At that moment, even Chris let out a sigh of relief. “Luckily, I didn’t cross any lines.” The two guys turned to look at him, their expressions full of disapproval. The gossiping continued for a while before everyone dispersed.

Despite the commotion caused by the revelation of Nelly and Alpha Kilian’s relationship, Nelly remained unfazed. She didn’t let her connection with Alpha Kilian make her arrogant or complacent. After all, she could have been Mrs. Morris. Even after their divorce, she was still the mother of Alpha Kilian’s children and could potentially be the mother of the Morris Corporation’s heir. Despite this privileged position, Nelly didn’t flaunt her status. If the truth hadn’t been exposed, perhaps no one would have known about her past. Nelly’s colleagues couldn’t help but admire her poise and composure. One’s attitude truly played a significant role in everything.

Once the crowd dispersed, Nelly finally immersed herself in her work. However, her concentration was broken when someone walked through the door.

“Excuse me, is Ms. Nelly Jackson here?” “That’s me,” Nelly instinctively replied. She looked up and saw a deliveryman holding a bouquet of roses, and her mind went blank.

The deliveryman walked up to her, all eyes on them. “These are from Mr. Morris. Please sign for the delivery.”

“Wow!” The office erupted in cheers. Nelly, however, frowned.
