Love: Win or Lose1

My perfect husband of over a decade from campus to wedding turned out to have an illegitimate daughter.

Zoey Smith, that was the name of his illegitimate daughter. Our daughter's name was Chloe Best.

His mistress knelt before me, begging me to save her daughter.

I was stunned. Her daughter was already ten years old, while mine was only three.

At that moment, all I could recall was the young Max Best whispering in my ear, telling me that I was his one true love.

Later, he secretly took our three-year-old daughter for a compatibility test. Reality truly hit me hard.

Husband, the dream where you enjoyed the best of both worlds—I would shatter it mercilessly!

Love or not, I accepted the consequences of my choices!

In our youth, our love was intense. Even when we had to make a public apology in front of the whole school, we never let go of each other's hands. From teachers to classmates, everyone thought we were rebellious.

Of course, there were also some girls with a heart full of envy who admired us.

But we didn't care. When we both got accepted to Summer University, several teachers sincerely praised us during the graduation banquet.
