For some reason, Be couldn''t help but think about the photo she saw in Zion''s wallet. She asked, "Was he the one who initiated things? How far did the two of you go?"


    Lia recalled what had happened. "That''s right. I''m just a woman. How could I possibly be the one to take the initiative in such things? Also, the only thing we''ve ever done is kiss..." Be massaged her temples, feeling helpless. In the end, she decided to be frank and said, "The next time hees, you should check if the photo he keeps in his wallet is still there.


    "You two have only known each other for a very short amount of time. Do you know how small the chances are for someone to fall in love at first sight? Let alone the chances for two people to fall at the same time. "I''m a firm believer that feelings can grow over time. I know that there''s still a long road ahead for the both of you, but I don''t want him to have someone in his heart still while he''s dating you. It''ll just be unfair toward you." Lia''s eyes flickered slightly. "A-Are you trying to tell me that he already has someone he likes? But since he''s going to marry me, doesn''t that mean he''ll never have a chance to be with the person he likes? "You''ve also said it yourself-feelings can grow over time. I''m willing to give him as much time as he needs."


    At that moment, Be felt like Lia had matured. She thought that her friend was no longer that impulsive and fiery woman. Be knew that she did not have to worry about Lia anymore. Suddenly, there was a knock on their door. Ca cautiously looked through the peephole before opening the door.


    A tall man in a ck suit handed Ca severalrge gift bags.


    The man said respectfully, "These are a few tokens of appreciation from Mr. Morse. As Mr. Morse is busy and cannot drop by himself, he has asked me to deliver his regards to Ms. Jones." Be wasn''t sure if the "Mr. Morse", the man was referring to meant Victor or Sean, so she went to the door and asked, "Are you referring to Victor Morse?"


    The man nodded. "That''s right."


    Be felt slightly uneasy as she had already owed Victor one. After all, Hallie had already bought a lot of clothes for her and her child.


    Now that Victor had sent over many supplements for her pregnancy, she felt overwhelmed by the amount of kind gestures they had showered her with.

    Hallie and Victor


    friends, not hers. Now that her


    rtionship with Dominic had. reached such an awkward state, it felt like Hallie and Victor were giving gifts to the wrong person. Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    But Be could not refuse their gifts either. She did not want to ruin Dominic''s rtionship with the Morses.


    Just like always, she took photos of the gifts and exined her dilemma to Dominic. Unexpectedly, Dominic only replied with a short message.


    His message wrote, "They''re giving you gifts because of the baby in your belly, not because of you. You can just ept them."


    She was slightly annoyed by his


    reply but could not exin why she


    was mad. She looked at her belly, feeling slightly frustrated. She truly felt like she was really receiving a lot because of her baby.


    Ultimately, she agreed with Dominic. Moreover, the house she lived in now was also thanks to the baby.


    Lia decided to stay for the night as she and Be talked the night away, chatting about all kinds of stuff. They eventually lost track of time and woke upte the next day.


    In fact, Be woke up to Lia shaking her. Lia pushed her phone into Be''s face and said, "There are photos of you and Dominic at the hospital!"


    Be was immediately alert. She immediately began reading the news article and was filled with exasperation.


    Her expectations had been realized.


    She knew that she couldn''t escape the media, and it was only a matter of time until the media caught them. The news had also attracted more attention than Gloriana did due to her big belly.


    The inte was fired up with wild spections about whether Dominic had secretly gotten married long ago or if he was nning to elope.


    Be''s private details were also being dug up and scrutinized, while Gloriana was now beingbeled as "the other woman".


    On the other hand, there were a few people indirectly calling Dominic out for being a scumbag, but no one dared to say it outright. Be''s first reaction was to call Dominic and request that he resolve the news situation.


    She was terrified of the public finding out about her pregnancy as she didn''t want her child to be called an illegitimate bastard in the future.
