"When did you get back?" Ranita rushed over, but Eve Riley quickly halted her with a loud voice,
"Slow down! No running!"
Ranita embraced Eve tightly.
"Why didn''t you inform me about your return?" Ranita''s voice was muffled, her nose and eyes were
red, and her grievances poured out uncontrobly.
It had been a challenging time for Ranitately, but her friend wasn''t there to confide in.
Now that Eve had finally returned, all the pent-up emotions found an outlet and couldn''t be
contained any longer.
"I wasn''t sure if I coulde back, so I didn''t give you advance notice!" After a pause, Eve guiltily
apologized, "I''m sorry I wasn''t there for you immediately."
"Why are you apologizing?" Ranita knew that despite Eve''s morous appearance in public, filming
was actually grueling work. This time she was part of a strict production crew in a small mountain
vige with limited inte ess.
"You said you had to finish filming before returning. Why did you suddenlye back? Won''t it
affect your work?" Ranita knew it would be another two months before Eve finished filming.
"Of course I had toe back! Something this significant happened, and yet I didn''t receive a
single phone call from you!" Eve gritted her teeth while discussing the matter. "If Dn hadn''t
informed me, I would still be clueless!"
Eve red fiercely at Ranita, touching the corner of her eye with her finger. "And yet you have the
audacity to show up with red eyes!"
"Are you the only one hurt?"
Ranita, Dn, and Eve were good friends, but Eve often acted like an authoritative figure.
"I''m sorry! I just didn''t want anything to distract or upset your performance." Ranita tried to exin
herself, but Eveunched a barrage of attacks. "Ha ha! You''re just making excuses! Are you telling
me you''re afraid I''ll cause trouble for Brendon? Why are you so foolish? It''s already now, and you''re
still thinking about him?! And what about the baby in your belly?! Are both you and Dn crazy?!
Are you saving it for the new year or something?! Do you think having a baby is easy? Never mind if
the Stuart family or Brendon find outter - how will they react? Even if you hide it and give birth,
you''ll have to juggle work and raising your child. How will the child inquire about their father in the
future? What will your response be?"
In reality, many celebrities in the entertainment industry secretly give birth. Eve had heard numerous
stories like this. Single motherhood isn''t easy!
"I..."
"Don''t talk about yourself like that. While I can afford to raise a child, there are risks involved in
giving birth. What if something happens to you? What am I supposed to do with Dn? You
divorced Brendon, so why should you risk your life to have his child?"
"Now rest well, and tomorrow we''ll go and..." Eve interrupted Ranita with a dismissive gesture.
Seeing how agitated Eve was, Ranita tried to calm her down. "Eve, don''t get worked up! I''ve
considered all the issues you mentioned, and I... I''ve decided to keep this baby, not for Brendon''s
sake."
"The baby is innocent." Pausing for a moment, Ranita embraced Eve. "Think about it - having an
adorable little one holding your hand and calling you ''auntie.'' Wouldn''t that make you happy?
Besides, with all the money you make, can''t you help me out with form and diapers?"
Eve''s earlier words were merely out of concern for Ranita. She understood how challenging it would
be for her friend - working while pregnant and raising a child alone.
But as Ranita said, the thought of holding a soft little bundle was undeniably appealing.
Eve snorted and crossed her arms. "Not happy! Unless... he or she calls me ''godmother''!"
