“What a coincidence, my girlfriend happens to be here. This will be easy, then. Look, I wasn’t lying!” Xander said to Ginny with a smug look on his face.Ginny looked me up and down before speaking with great certainty, “You’re lying. How can a person like her be good enough for you? She’s not your girlfriend at all.”Was I that bad? I could not help but look at myself.Indeed, because of my pregnancy, I was wearing flats and a loose cotton linen skirt. With my hair pulled up and no makeup on, I must look really old-fashioned and ugly.“I’m not lying to you. Look at her face, she’s the woman in the picture I keep in my wallet.” Xander no longer looked as helpless and anxious but was extremely smug at the moment.Ginny then studied my face carefully for a very long time without saying a word. Then, she harrumphed and walked away with a sad expression.This demon broke the heart of yet another girl. I felt a little guilty. Although I did not say a word from start to finish, I shoul

What was he doing here? Should he not be with Cindy?I was a little confused as to why he was always able to pinpoint my location every time.“Why didn’t you go home?” he asked with a dark countenance, his voice deep and low.I did not want to respond to him and wanted to close the door. He reached out to block it and took the opportunity to step in. With his hands in his pockets, he leaned against the door frame and stared at me.Not wanting to entertain him, I turned around and went back inside.“You’re not a kid, so stop your tantrums.” He came up and took my hand, saying, “Come home with me.”I laughed in anger when he said the word ‘tantrums’. “You think I’m throwing tantrums? What do you take me for, Theo Grant?”He actually believed in Cindy and sided with her without a single hesitation. Why could he not let me have some peace and insisted on coming over to torture me?Even though I was well aware that his recent changes were all because of the child, I still could not

He paused and fell silent for a very long time before getting out of the bathtub. He pulled a towel and wrapped it around his waist haphazardly before turning around and going out of the bathroom.Upon seeing him leave, my body went limp and I slumped weakly in the bathtub.I sat alone in the bathroom for a long time before I got up, took a brief shower, and dragged my tired body back to the bedroom.I breathed a sigh of relief when I realized that he was not around. I sat on the bed while wiping my hair dry.At this moment, Cecilia gave me a video call.I answered the call and talked to her while half-lying on the bed.“What’s wrong with you? Why do you look so unwell? Why did you let yourself look so horrible?” Cecilia was shocked to see the state I was in.I shook my head without a word.“Where’s Theo? Doesn’t he know that you’re a pregnant lady? Why did he leave you at home all alone? Wait for me, I’m coming over.” Cecilia hung up before I could say anything.Outside the w

I quickly downed a large glass of milk before saying, “It’s not too bad. Try it.”Having said that, I hurriedly got up and said, “I’m running late. I’ll make a move first.”“Wanda Lane, you liar! How did you even bring yourself to eat something this salty…” Behind me, Cecilia’s disappointed and furious roar rang out.I shook my head with a smile. Cecilia probably had no talent for cooking in the kitchen.When I got to the company, Heidi reported to me about the filming at night. Everything was ready.Complex matters were left for the experts to handle. The pre-financing and personnel matters had been handled. In regards to the competition, there was nothing left that required my attention. I just had to wait for the results. I had not even begun working on the acquisition report that Theo wanted me to do. At the thought of that, I brought my laptop to the development department.I spent the whole day learning from the professionals and gained a lot of knowledge. It was not unti

After that, apart from working, I spent the majority of my time with Cecilia. She was passionate about cooking all day and fed me with her food like a lab rat. I did not even bother putting up a struggle and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.I was still feeling quite down and had not been sleeping well. I often sat on the balcony the whole night.Cecilia had brought me to get a prescription for my insomnia that was suitable for pregnant women. However, I often forgot about it and would only take the medication when she reminded me.Theo had not shown up, and from what Heidi told me, he seemed to have gone abroad.Several phases of the show’s filming had been successfully completed. Everything went well, and the premiere broadcast was well-received. The ratings and comments about the show only grew. The final round would be carried out this afternoon.The spokesperson would be announced and they would sign the contract on the spot. Xander was like a dark horse, cutting his way

As soon as I said those words, everyone was surprised. Then, the audience broke into applause, and Sandy’s fans began screaming fervently.I guess only I was capable of announcing a surprise brand ambassador like that.I did not inform anyone about this prior because I planned to throw Newlight Media off guard and offer them no reason to oppose. Logically speaking, anyone would think that they were trying to become the spokesperson seeing how they had come to participate in the competition.However, they did not win first place, hence becoming the spokesperson was practically impossible now.Even so, Grant Corporation kept old friendships in mind and created the brand ambassador title. In everyone’s opinion, that was the greatest show of sincerity and love toward Sandy and Newlight Media. They had no reason to not accept it or find fault with the decision.This matter was thus concluded. Initially, I was still quite worried that the kidnappers would give me trouble again, but they

After a long time, he got into bed, embraced me from behind, and stroked my long hair with one hand. He asked softly, “Did you really mean it?”“... What?” I asked. I said too many things just now and was not sure what he was referring to.He turned my body over so that I would be facing him. Cupping my face in his hands, he said, “That you love me so much you can’t leave me.”My cheeks were burning and I was terribly embarrassed. It was the first time I said such things and I did not expect him to repeat them.“Okay, I won’t ask.” He chuckled before continuing, “But, you can’t do silly things like that again. Don’t you know what will happen if you do that? You’re so silly, aren’t you?” Having said that, he gently knocked my forehead with his finger.I frowned in pain but did not say anything.I did not know what overcame me then. I just could not control my emotions when I saw Cindy standing there.Thinking about it now, it was really silly of me to do that. Cindy was not worth

Theo responded and got up to walk toward the kitchen. When he walked past the stairway, he saw me and stopped in his tracks. He looked slightly surprised and said in a low voice, “You’re up.”I should not have gotten up, more so went downstairs. I would not be feeling this sting of pain if I had just stayed in the room.“Are you there, Theowy?” Cindy, who was in the bathroom, sounded a little anxious.“You should go. Ms. Cindy might catch a cold later.” I looked up, gave a small smile, and turned around to go upstairs. I did not spare him another glance.I slammed the bedroom door and began panting. For a moment, my heart was clenching so violently it was as though I was about to suffocate the next second.The air in the bedroom was stuffy, and the storm howled outside the window. I got up and opened the window, only to be hit by a strong gust of wind. It nearly threw me off balance. I crouched on the floor as the rain came down on me, splashing my body.I placed my hands on the
