Chapter 299


    Olivia didn’t expect to run into Sophie and Jacob at the event. She felt a bit ufortable, but it


    passed quickly.


    Ana knew Sophie, but not Jacob. She watched them from a distance before turning to Olivia.


    Sophie rushed over to Olivia with Jacob close behind. Jacob also waved to Katrina and Jordan, calling


    them “Uncle” and “Aunty.”

    He was dressed in looking very different from before. Standing there with Sophie and a ss of wine in


    his hand, he seemed to fit right in with the Pearces.


    Katrina and Jordan were pleased to hear Jacob, and Katrina immediately asked Sophie, ” Do you all


    know each other?”


    Sophie nced at Ana, standing by Olivia, and told Katrina, “Yes. Olivia and I are ssmates and best


    friends.”


    Ana smiled and suggested, “Since you’re friends, you should catch up.”


    But Olivia, staying close to Ana, said, “It’s okay. I’ll stay with you.”

    Sophie was taken aback, hoping Olivia would be happy to see her.


    Ana nodded then exined, “Olivia can’t wander around the party with you because she’s pregnant.


    Please understand.”


    Sophie was shocked by the news. She looked sympathetically at Olivia, who avoided eye contact, then


    smiled and responded, “Yeah, we can’t really party like before since she’s expecting.”


    Sophie couldn’t hide her surprise at Olivia’s pregnancy. Jacob, however, showed no


    reaction.


    Ana was curious about Jacob, having never seen him before. She asked Katrina, “And who is… this?”


    Katrina introduced them, smiling, “This is Jacob, Sophie’s boyfriend.”


    Jacob politely offered his hand to Ana, saying, “Hello, Mrs. Harris.


    Olivia was nervous at this interaction, unsure why she reacted that way. She thought it might be


    because of their past.

    Ana smiled slightly as she shook his hand. “What a polite man you are. You’re a good match for


    Sophie.”


    Sophie felt proud when Anaplimented him but kept an eye on Olivia the whole time.


    Jacob responded modestly, “Thank you, you’re too kind.”


    Ana seemed pleased with Jacob and nodded in approval.


    After a while, Jordan noticed they’d been standing too long, especially with Olivia being pregnant. “Let’s


    sit down in the lounge, Ana,” he suggested.


    “Sounds good,” Ana agreed.


    They all moved toward the lounge, led by Katrina and Jordan.


    Sophie kept watching Olivia as she left with Ana, hoping Olivia would look back at them. But Olivia


    didn’t do that. She stayed close to Ana, head down, as they walked away.
