Chapter 852 Kissing Can Lead To Pregnancy


    After Keaton made sure that they had deleted the photos and left, the two paparazzi suppressed their


    dissatisfaction and anger, exchanged a nce, and then smiled knowingly.


    As professionals in this field, they were always prepared for such situations when dealing with


    celebrities. They were always ready to outwit and outmaneuver.


    One of them took out a hidden phone and scrolled through a few photos, confirming that there were


    clear side shots of Daphne entering the pharmacy and bending over the rows of shelves to pick


    something up.


    The photos were taken from a distance through the window ss, so her face, as well as the item she


    was holding, were blurry and indistinct.


    Nevertheless, as long as the clothes matched, it wouldn''t affect their editing and dissemination.


    In just a few hours, the news of Daphne''s pregnancy spread like wildfire on the inte.


    The topic climbed up the trending list and quickly became the hottest topic of discussion among


    netizens.


    All kinds of opinions could be read from online discussions.


    ''Did I miss something? Why is there news of her being pregnant before news of her rtionship?''


    ''Who is the biological father of this child? Is it Theodore Frost?''


    "Can the person above stop being disgusting? Theodore Frost is in prison! Do you want to go keep him


    company?''


    ''Let''s be reasonable. Theodore hasn''t been in there for long. If Daphne is really pregnant, it is still


    possible that the child is his.''


    As a result, those who believed that the child''s biological father was Theodore started arguing with


    Daphne''s fans, resulting in a heated exchange of insults.


    In addition, some people questioned whether Daphne had simply gone to the pharmacy to buy


    medicine and there was no need to make a fuss.


    However, some busybodies took out erged images of the packaging boxes of several pregnancy


    test kits andpared them to the items Daphne was holding in the photos. The patterns and outlines


    werepletely identical, proving that she was indeed picking pregnancy test kits.


    All of a sudden, several different topics rted to this matter surged to the top of the trending list:


    Daphne''sPregnancy


    FatherofDaphne''sChild


    DaphneandTheodore


    DaphneandLouis


    When thest topic emerged, apart from many instigators deliberately stirring up trouble, Louis'' only


    fan base expressed that their rtionship was purely a professional one. Daphne was simply his senior


    in the entertainment industry and an acquaintance in real life, nothing more.


    Regarding her pregnancy, they also expressed their respect and blessings, asking others not to get


    Louis involved.


    Of course, there were also many irrational fans who began tounch personal attacks on Daphne as


    well.


    Some even imed that after she terminated her contract with Pearson Group, she went back to her


    former sugar daddy and unexpectedly became pregnant.


    However, this statement didn''t hold up to scrutiny.


    Daphne had been with Pearson Group since her debut. Even during the two years when she was


    falsely used by Theodore and kept a low profile, she had always been well-protected by Pearson


    Group. Moreover, she made it onto the Forbes listst year, hence she wasn''t in need of a sugar daddy


    at all.


    The online discussions were all over the ce, with all sorts of ims being made.


    After Louis finished hisst ss and left the ssroom, he overheard his ssmates discussing with


    each other. When they looked at him, their eyes were filled with curiosity, as if they wanted to find out


    something from him but didn''t dare to speak up.


    Louis quickly left the ssroom, found a secluded ce, and checked his phone to find the trending


    topics.


    After reading them, he pursed his lips and sent a message to Daphne.


    Louis, ''Turns out it''s true that kissing can lead to pregnancy.''


    On the other side, Daphne quickly replied, ''...''


    Then, she added, ''Didn''t you assume that I could''ve flirted with other men besides you?''


    Louis responded, ''That''s possible but not likely.''


    When Daphne saw the message on the screen, she couldn''t help the smile forming on her lips.


    After this incident started to escte, her first thought was Louis, fearing that he would misunderstand.


    However, before she could even think in his shoes, he sent her a reassuring message.


    The feeling of being unconditionally trusted was nice.


    Beside her, Zoe looked at her smiling face and nudged her with her elbow. "People are saying all sorts


    of things about you online, yet you''re still smiling."


    Daphne immediately put away her phone and coughed. "N-No. I just saw a funnyment."


    Zoe was puzzled. "Whatment? Show me."


    Daphne pushed her away embarrassedly. "Err, I''ve already scrolled past it. Actually, now that I think


    about it, it''s not that funny."


    Zoe was speechless at that.


    Was she starting to have a split personality due to the insults?


    Leanna felt sorry for her. "I should release a statement to respond to this. We can''t just let it go on."


    Daphne declined, "No. You can''t make your pregnancy public during the first three months, or it might


    affect the child. Let''s just leave it like this. It''s fine."


    Zoe showed her a strange expression. "It''s fine?"


    Daphne nodded and brushed her hair. "Yes. I''m used to being criticized. Let them say what they want.


    Once this storm is over, everything will be fine."


    Leanna frowned. "No, but—"


    Daphne approached her and held her hand. "Listen to me. Let''s not worry about this matter. In our line


    of work, we''re not afraid of being criticized. What we''re afraid of is not being criticized. Think about it.


    It''s true that I''ve been bashed, but I''ve also gained a lot of attention and poprity. In a few more


    months when you publicly announce the pregnancy, you can exin my situation then. That will


    generate even more attention."


    Leanna knew that Daphne wasforting her, but it was true that her current status and position no


    longer required such negative attention and poprity.


    After pondering for a moment, Zoe felt that Daphne''s words made sense and said to Leanna, "Should


    we just listen to her? I''ve heard that you shouldn''t let too many people know about the pregnancy


    during the first three months. It''s considered a taboo."


    Daphne nodded fervently. "Exactly, so don''t worry. It won''t affect me. Actually, it doesn''t matter what


    others say. As long as the person we care about doesn''t misunderstand, it''ll be fine."


    As she spoke, Daphne''s voice became softer because she felt a little embarrassed.


    Zoe raised a brow and nudged Leanna again. Daphne''s intentions were clear now.


    Leanna sighed, persuaded by the two of them.


    "But you can''t let them keep insulting you like this. Let the studio release a statement, saying that


    you''re not pregnant, and it''s all a misunderstanding. I''ll exin the restter," Leanna suggested.


    Daphne nodded. "Okay."


    Daphne picked up her phone and sent a message to her assistant.


    For now, this matter was temporarily resolved.


    Suddenly, Zoe remembered something and looked at Leanna. "By the way, have you told Aidan about


    this yet?"


    Exclusive content ? by N?(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.


    Leanna answered, "I almost forgot about that..."


    They had just returned and were greeted by the overwhelming news online, hence she had no time to


    tell Aidan about it.


    "I think you should wait for him toe back and tell him in person. When he sees the news online and


    hears it from you, his expression will definitely be priceless," suggested Daphne.
