“Anything goes?” Isabe knew Elisa liked sweets, so she had Lilly prepare some desserts. She also cooked some sweeter main dishes.


    Soon, a sumptuous dinner was served. Elisa looked at the spread before her and couldn’t help but exim, “Oh my, Isabe, now I see why your figure is bing fuller. You eat so well.”


    “Of course, Lilly’s cooking is excellent.” Isabe felt a bit embarrassed. She didn’t want to gain weight. If she weren’t pregnant, following her usual eating habits wouldn’t have made her gain weight so easily. But due to the pregnancy, it was inevitable.


    Lilly blushed at thepliment but smiled, sitting next to Isabe. “Eat more, Elisa. During this time, you can tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll make it as long as I can.”


    “Sure, no problem.”


    After dinner, Elisa still wanted to exercise. She was a disciplined person, and even with Isabe, she knew not to neglect her training. So, after a short rest, she prepared to go to the gym.


    She nced at Isabe. “Isabe, are you sure you don’t want to train with me?”


    Isabe waved her hand and took out her gun from behind. “If there really are bad guysing in, I can shoot them dead. Rest assured, my marksmanship is excellent now.”


    Hearing Isabe’s words, Elisa chuckled. She didn’t force her, heading to the gym to work out.


    Isabe didn’t want to train; she didn’t force her. She had realized she had been too strict with Isabe’s demands. Isabe had already learned a few self-defense skills and could shoot better than most Mafia bosses’ wives. She couldn’t train Isabe like a warrior.


    Seeing Elisa not insisting, Isabe breathed a sigh of relief. She couldn’t train now; thosebat techniques might harm her baby if she identally encountered her stomach.


    However, she had firmly remembered the moves Elisa had taught her before. She repeated them in her mind countless times, believing she could use them effectively when the need arose.


    At night, Elisa slept in Isabe’s room. Since Emanuele wasn’t around, it was necessary for her to sleep with Isabe to ensure her safety.


    Isabe somehow felt less scared with someone apanying her. The room had been too big and echoey before, always feeling like someone might be hiding in the corners.


    Elisa ced a small bed next to Isabe’s bed and slept in the middle, closer to the door, ensuring that if someone pushed the door open, she could quickly get up and counterattack.


    If the situation became critical, she could also shield Isabe.


    The beds were close. Isabey on the side closer to Elisa and said, “Elisa, do you know the current situation? It seems more serious than before.”


    Emanuele hadn’t told her, but Isabe could sense that this time, the enemies were more formidable than Frederickst time. She was very worried about Emanuele’s safety; he must not be harmed.


    “It’s a bit serious, but Isabe, don’t worry. The boss is so powerful; there shouldn’t be any danger. Just likest time, if he really can’t handle it, he’ll seek help from the cleric.”


    Isabe remembered that the members of the cleric were quite capable, and with their help, Emanuele would have a much easier time. Of course, the price was that Emanuele would owe them a favor.


    Isabe turned over, lying straight on her back. Her gaze fixed on the ceiling. At this moment, she was lost in thought. Her current safety was all due to Emanuele’s efforts. With so many people guarding her in this apartment, Isabe was genuinely concerned that Emanuele might be left unprotected due to dividing the security detail.


    And for her part, the only thing she could do was stay inside the apartment, not causing trouble for Emanuele. Already, that was the greatest help she could offer.


    “Isabe, are you really not pregnant?” Elisa’s exmation brought Isabe back to reality. She turned to look at Elisa, who seemed surprisingly astonished, staring directly at her belly.


    Isabe was startled. Oh no, today she was wearing silk pajamas, loose-fitting, and while standing, it was hard to notice anything unusual. But now, lying on the bed, the clothes clung to her belly due to gravity, exposing its shape.


    Damn it! How could she forget about this?


    “Look, you’re lying down now, but your stomach is protruding. If you were just fat, your belly wouldn’t look like this when lying down. Isabe, you’re really pregnant!” Elisa sat up straight, wanting to approach Isabe and touch her belly.


    Isabe immediately dodged Elisa’s touch. “No, Elisa, I’m just fat.”


    “Isabe, have you and Emanuele taken precautions?”


    “I have an intrauterine device.”


    “That’s not foolproof. This is definitely not just fat. You haven’t given birth before; you don’t understand. The belly looks different when it’s due to being overweight and when it’s due to pregnancy.”


    “You haven’t given birth either, how do you know?” Isabe retorted.


    “My sister has given birth. I took care of her when she was pregnant, so I know what’s going on.”


    Oh, that makes sense!


    Isabe felt she had been too careless. Just now, she was too rxed and actually forgot to conceal it. She also didn’t expect Elisa, who hadn’t married or had children, to notice these details.


    Seeing Isabe silent, Elisa thought for a moment and said, “How about I talk to the boss and have him arrange for a doctor toe and check on you?”


    Going to the hospital now would be dangerous for Isabe. It would be better to have a doctore to her for an examination.


    It seemed Isabe had recently be pregnant. No wonder she herself wasn’t aware.


    Seeing that Elisa was about to inform Emanuele, Isabe knew she couldn’t hide it any longer.


    “Elisa, don’t tell Emanuele,” Isabe said. Uttering those words felt like she had exhausted all her strength. Oh God, she had nned to keep it a secret.


    Elisa looked at Isabe. With her intelligence, she knew Isabe must have hidden something.


    “I am pregnant,” Isabe squeezed the words out from between her teeth. She almost dared not look at Elisa.


    “You’re pregnant!” Elisa eximed. “The boss didn’t tell me about this.”


    “Yes, I haven’t told anyone.”


    So that’s it. Elisa was now shocked to the point where her eyes were about to pop out. Oh God, no wonder Isabe refused training today, acting so unusually, rejecting her own identity.N?velDrama.Org owns this text.


    So, it was because she was pregnant and couldn’t train. Unable to disclose the reason, she behaved this way.


    “Why did you keep it a secret, Isabe? This is a big deal!”


    Oh God, Isabe was carrying Emanuele’s child and hid it even from Emanuele. Why?
