A belly like that could not have been the result of eating too much.The next second, Zephaniah got up and said a few words to Mister Whittle to excuse himself from the table. Then, he quickly walked to the restroom with a sullen face.Jade trotted to the restroom. Then, she faced a toilet bowl and tried to puke but did not manage to empty her stomach. Still, she felt slightly weak. ‘Why can’t I stand the slightest fishy smell after I got pregnant?’Jade washed her face with some warm water, and when she raised her head, she accidentally saw Zephaniah standing behind her in the mirror. His eyes were fixed on her, and he gave off a highly oppressive feeling. Jade pretended as if she did not see him. She drew a square of toilet paper, wiped the water droplets off her hands, and wanted to walk past him.“Jade.” Zephaniah grabbed her wrist, and his face was as sour as rotten milk. “I need an explanation.”“Mister Owens, aren’t you overthinking?” Jade felt her wrist burning, especially t

“Yes.” Jade continued to stuff food into her mouth and calmly replied, “That’s why I want to eat something sour.”Once he was certain Jade was not joking with him, Easton placed his palm flat against his forehead. “You only told me to put up an act with you, but you didn’t say you were… really pregnant. Does Zephaniah know about this?”“Yes. I even met him just now at the swimming pool! But I didn’t tell him just how old the baby is.” Once she said that, she stopped moving for a little while and looked at him. Her expression was slightly awkward, and she looked remorseful. “I’m sorry. I was worried that he would suspect something… so I told him it’s yours.”After all, she did not get his approval, and they were currently just normal friends. She felt a little embarrassed about what she did.She did not expect Easton to suddenly become silent. After some time, he looked at her seriously. “Jade, if you don’t mind, well… we can try dating…”“Cough…”Jade was so shocked that she found hers

The car stopped abruptly. Jade thought she had arrived, so she sat up and looked outside, but she heard the man at the front say, “Get out of the car.”“Have we arrived?”Zephaniah ignored her. He just unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car.Jade thought that he was just being taciturn and did not think much about it. She asked no further questions and just opened the car door in confusion to follow him down the car. Before them was a restaurant. It seemed like the man wanted to go in. She was stunned and blurted out, “I’ve already eaten.”The man glanced at her strangely. “But I haven’t.”Jade was rendered speechless. She instantly found herself in an incredibly embarrassing situation and smiled stiffly. “Then, I’ll wait for you in the car. You can go in and have your meal.”Zephaniah stood still, looked at her, and curled his lips to form a smile. “Jade, we divorced each other on considerably peaceful terms, right? We don’t owe each other anymore, and do you really need to

Jade had actually wanted to thank him, but she instantly lost her mood and could not even be bothered arguing with him. She waved her hand to signal the waiter to clean up the cake on the floor. Then, she took another piece. But just as she turned around to leave, the man suddenly grabbed her hand and took the cake away. “What are you doing?” She frowned and glared at him.Zephaniah casually put the cake down and went on to pass her a bowl of soup. He said plainly, “Pregnant women should put more care into their diets. Don’t you have even the slightest common sense?”“...”Jade’s eyebrows twitched. She stared at him strangely for a few seconds before she opened her mouth. “Have you ever given birth, Mister Owens? I didn’t expect you to be in the know-how of such affairs.”The cake stains were still on his clothes, but it did not affect his disposition at all. His face was still so handsome that it stirred up jealousy. But wasn’t he butting his nose into this too much? Of course she k

“I don’t have to resign. I’ll just be more careful. It still doesn’t show now. When it’s truly impossible for me to cover my bump anymore, I’ll do it.” Jade did not even think twice and shook her head as she smiled and comforted her mother.The entire family relied on her to provide them a living. Furthermore, she still owed a lot of people money. She could not afford to resign. She would need money from work to buy milk powder for her children as well.However, she did not say those words aloud. She did not want her mother stressed. Otherwise, there was a possibility that she would sneak out to perform hard labour again.There was no way Jade’s mother would not understand. She did not want her daughter to worry too much either. So, she could only frown as she made a request. “Then, only work for another three months, at most. When you’re into your sixth month, you must take leave and stay home.” “Okay, okay, I got it. When the time comes, they would chase me out even if I stay.” Jad
