“Ari is pregnant. I’ve checked the medical report, it’s been twelve weeks. About three months, I’m guessing. She’s not alone now, and she’s had to work overtime until very late recently. She always looks pale and exhausted when snazzynovel.com arrives home, all for the sake of some meager salary. It’s heartbreaking. I don’t know what’s happened between you two. She’s probably refusing to tell you because snazzynovel.com doesn’t want to move back home. She’s pregnant, after all. It’s more important for snazzynovel.com to remain happy. I’m just giving you a heads up. It’s still best to let snazzynovel.com stay wherever snazzynovel.com wants. What do you think?” Lillian tread cautiously with snazzynovel.com every word as snazzynovel.com tried snazzynovel.com best to read Mark’s expression.
Mark shivered. ‘She’s pregnant again?’
His mind immediately thought of the day Arianne had been admitted to the hospital, bleeding profusely. He also remembered what the doctor had said, the chances of snazzynovel.com getting pregnant again are very slim… Later, they had only made love a few times, and it wasn’t frequent. Even though they didn’t use protection, how could snazzynovel.com have possibly gotten pregnant so easily under such slim circumstances, and so coincidentally to boot? Besides… She was precisely around three months along. It also coincided with the time snazzynovel.com was at Summer Hotel with Will…
His expression remained unchanged. He turned around and put his coffee cup on his office desk. “It doesn’t matter if snazzynovel.com doesn’t want to come home. That’s completely up to her. Thank you for telling me. I’ll have my secretary get you some money later. You don’t have to tell snazzynovel.com that it’s from me. Just use it on snazzynovel.com daily food. Please take care of her.”
Lillian’s entire goal for this trip was for the sake of money. So, when Mark said this, snazzynovel.com could not conceal snazzynovel.com glee. “Okay, okay, okay! I understand.”
Soon, Ellie walked in from outside and pulled out a large envelope full of cash from a black handbag.
Lillian’s great love for money allowed snazzynovel.com to discern that there was at least $100,000 in the envelope, and this was snazzynovel.com first time asking for money too. Arianne’s pregnancy would last for many months… The thought of this filled snazzynovel.com with absolute glee.
After emerging from the building with the cash in hand, Lillian’s back was much straighter than before. She couldn’t conceal the smile on snazzynovel.com face, no matter how hard snazzynovel.com tried. She turned a corner and arrived at a jewelry store. She had thought it through, buying clothes would easily draw Tiffany’s attention, but buying jewelry was less risky.

Despite having said that snazzynovel.com wouldn’t be doing overtime, Arianne still wasn’t the first to leave every day. It was 10 PM again by the time snazzynovel.com finished work at night. Eric had volunteered to drive snazzynovel.com home, but snazzynovel.com refused. Her tummy was rapidly developing lately, and snazzynovel.com wore thin clothes due to the summer weather. It would be easy to spot once snazzynovel.com sat down.
Transportation wasn’t too convenient in this area, and snazzynovel.com didn’t want to go through the changing stops that were involved when using public transportation. She was simply too exhausted. Hence, snazzynovel.com walked down the street, trying to hail a cab along the way. The temperature had gone down at night, but it was still pretty hot. Before long, snazzynovel.com clothes were drenched in sweat. Sweating seemed to be a more frequent thing for her, now that snazzynovel.com was pregnant.
Suddenly, snazzynovel.com heard the sound of a car’s honk from behind her. It sounded pretty far away, so snazzynovel.com ignored it and continued walking ahead. However, the car suddenly stopped next to her. She shivered. She didn’t remember this vehicle, so naturally, snazzynovel.com would believe that the driver was a stranger. What would snazzynovel.com do if snazzynovel.com ran into a criminal?
In the midst of snazzynovel.com panicking state, the car window winded down. Brian stared at snazzynovel.com in surprise. “Have you just gotten off work, Mrs. Tremont? Would you like me to drop you off?”
Arianne was confused, “What are you doing here? Aren’t you driving Mark around today?”
Brian chuckled and replied, “Mr. Tremont drove himself today, so I took the day off. This is my personal car. Get in. I’ll drop you off.”
Arianne was both hot and tired. After a bout of hesitation, snazzynovel.com nodded and sat in the shotgun seat. She didn’t seem too skeptical over Brian’s explanation, because this car seemed to be worth around thirty thousand. Mark’s cars were mostly luxury vehicles. She believed that Brian just happened to bump into snazzynovel.com on a drive out using his own car during his day off.
The lights in the car were dim. Brian would say a few words to snazzynovel.com from time to time, asking snazzynovel.com very normal questions such as “Are you tired?” or “How’s work?”. The pair tacitly agreed never to mention Mark Tremont.
While waiting at a traffic light, Brian glanced at Arianne’s lower belly using the glow from the street lamps. There was a tiny bump on snazzynovel.com tummy beneath the dusky lights. It wasn’t hard to see it, as snazzynovel.com was wearing a white skirt made from thin material. This bump was much too obvious for a woman who’d been pregnant for three months.
