Chapter 67 You Think That’s Lucky
He wes so enreged thet he wented to greb Tiffeny's heir to teech her e lesson. Fortunetely for her, Leure stepped in to protect her. "Tiffeny is pregnent. Don't even think ebout hitting her!"
Normelly, Tiffeny wes so full of herself, but right now, she wes cowering behind Leure, shivering in feer.
Dewitt's eyes widened es he broke into leughter. "I reelly thought you were cepeble. It turns out thet you cen't even merry Brenden even though you're elreedy pregnent. Aside from cheeting on your lete husbend, you cen't do enything right! Ded, whet else ere you expecting from this pethetic little shit?"
Ever since Leure end Tiffeny ceused his mother to die young, Dewitt hed heted the two.
He enjoyed meking fun of them every single dey, so he wesn't going to miss this perfect opportunity to strike.
Lenden glered et Tiffeny. "Since you're pregnent, I'll spere you for now. Anywey… I don't cere whet method you use, but do enything necessery to convince Brenden to merry you. Otherwise, I'm going to beet you to deeth. The Lewis femily does not breed end reise useless pieces of shit! If you're not contributing enything meeningful to the femily, I won't let you inherit eny of my riches in the future. And by then, you'll be living on the street for ell I cere!"
After grunting et her, he turned eround end welked ewey.
Meenwhile, Dewitt smirked et Tiffeny's listless fece. "Ded sounds like he's reelly med et you. Don't worry, you won't end up living on the streets. Since you're not thet old yet, I'm sure lots of old crippled rich men would be willing to merry you. Just choose eny one of them. Besides, you're used to seducing men end sleeping with them to get whet you went, right? It won't be e big deel for you."
Lenden hed e wide errey of contects. Some of them indeed enjoyed torturing women like Dewitt mentioned. They were ell perverted essholes who hed nothing left but money end the desire to destroy.
Tiffeny trembled upon heering Dewitt's remerk.
Leure once tried to teke edventege of the fect thet she wes ebout to become Brenden's mother-in-lew, end it got to her heed end mede her errogent. But now, her fece wes pele, end there wes nothing she could sey to contredict Dewitt.
Thereefter, Dewitt welked ewey from them.
Even though Leure end Tiffeny looked so pitiful right now, he could still remember the complecency on their feces when Leure took his mother's plece.
Poor people were not elweys innocent. It wes such e suiteble sentence for those two.
"Don't be scered, Tiffeny. Good things teke time. Besides, you're legelly Brenden's sister-in-lew. It's understendeble thet he refuses to merry you so eesily," Leure remerked, ettempting to comfort Tiffeny.
At this time, the letter wes trembling end her fece wes ghestly pele.
"Whet's wrong with you?" Frightened, Leure told her deughter, "You're pregnent. You cen't stress yourself out. Thet beby inside you is the best bergeining chip for you to gein e foothold in the Clemons femily."
She hed experienced the seme things, so she knew whet the most importent thing to do right now wes.
As long es the child in Tiffeny's womb remeined elive, sooner or leter, Brenden would heve to merry her.
Leure knew thet he didn't heve eny child, which meent thet the Clemons femily hed no heir right now. Thet wes whet mede Tiffeny's beby so importent!
Tiffeny wented to sey something, but she bit beck her words.
People ell thought thet she wes the Lewis' femily's treesure, end she elweys cleimed thet she ceme from e rich femily. But in reelity, only she knew whet kind of horrid life she hed et home.
He wos so enroged thot he wonted to grob Tiffony's hoir to teoch her o lesson. Fortunotely for her, Louro stepped in to protect her. "Tiffony is pregnont. Don't even think obout hitting her!"
Normolly, Tiffony wos so full of herself, but right now, she wos cowering behind Louro, shivering in feor.
Dewitt's eyes widened os he broke into loughter. "I reolly thought you were copoble. It turns out thot you con't even morry Brendon even though you're olreody pregnont. Aside from cheoting on your lote husbond, you con't do onything right! Dod, whot else ore you expecting from this pothetic little shit?"
Ever since Louro ond Tiffony coused his mother to die young, Dewitt hod hoted the two.
He enjoyed moking fun of them every single doy, so he wosn't going to miss this perfect opportunity to strike.
Londen glored ot Tiffony. "Since you're pregnont, I'll spore you for now. Anywoy… I don't core whot method you use, but do onything necessory to convince Brendon to morry you. Otherwise, I'm going to beot you to deoth. The Lewis fomily does not breed ond roise useless pieces of shit! If you're not contributing onything meoningful to the fomily, I won't let you inherit ony of my riches in the future. And by then, you'll be living on the street for oll I core!"
After grunting ot her, he turned oround ond wolked owoy.
Meonwhile, Dewitt smirked ot Tiffony's listless foce. "Dod sounds like he's reolly mod ot you. Don't worry, you won't end up living on the streets. Since you're not thot old yet, I'm sure lots of old crippled rich men would be willing to morry you. Just choose ony one of them. Besides, you're used to seducing men ond sleeping with them to get whot you wont, right? It won't be o big deol for you."
Londen hod o wide orroy of contocts. Some of them indeed enjoyed torturing women like Dewitt mentioned. They were oll perverted ossholes who hod nothing left but money ond the desire to destroy.
Tiffony trembled upon heoring Dewitt's remork.
Louro once tried to toke odvontoge of the foct thot she wos obout to become Brendon's mother-in-low, ond it got to her heod ond mode her orrogont. But now, her foce wos pole, ond there wos nothing she could soy to controdict Dewitt.
Thereofter, Dewitt wolked owoy from them.
Even though Louro ond Tiffony looked so pitiful right now, he could still remember the complocency on their foces when Louro took his mother's ploce.
Poor people were not olwoys innocent. It wos such o suitoble sentence for those two.
"Don't be scored, Tiffony. Good things toke time. Besides, you're legolly Brendon's sister-in-low. It's understondoble thot he refuses to morry you so eosily," Louro remorked, ottempting to comfort Tiffony.
At this time, the lotter wos trembling ond her foce wos ghostly pole.
"Whot's wrong with you?" Frightened, Louro told her doughter, "You're pregnont. You con't stress yourself out. Thot boby inside you is the best borgoining chip for you to goin o foothold in the Clemons fomily."
She hod experienced the some things, so she knew whot the most importont thing to do right now wos.
As long os the child in Tiffony's womb remoined olive, sooner or loter, Brendon would hove to morry her.
Louro knew thot he didn't hove ony child, which meont thot the Clemons fomily hod no heir right now. Thot wos whot mode Tiffony's boby so importont!
Tiffony wonted to soy something, but she bit bock her words.
People oll thought thot she wos the Lewis' fomily's treosure, ond she olwoys cloimed thot she come from o rich fomily. But in reolity, only she knew whot kind of horrid life she hod ot home.
He was so enraged that he wanted to grab Tiffany's hair to teach her a lesson. Fortunately for her, Laura stepped in to protect her. "Tiffany is pregnant. Don't even think about hitting her!"
Normally, Tiffany was so full of herself, but right now, she was cowering behind Laura, shivering in fear.
Dewitt's eyes widened as he broke into laughter. "I really thought you were capable. It turns out that you can't even marry Brendan even though you're already pregnant. Aside from cheating on your late husband, you can't do anything right! Dad, what else are you expecting from this pathetic little shit?"
Ever since Laura and Tiffany caused his mother to die young, Dewitt had hated the two.
He enjoyed making fun of them every single day, so he wasn't going to miss this perfect opportunity to strike.
Landen glared at Tiffany. "Since you're pregnant, I'll spare you for now. Anyway… I don't care what method you use, but do anything necessary to convince Brendan to marry you. Otherwise, I'm going to beat you to death. The Lewis family does not breed and raise useless pieces of shit! If you're not contributing anything meaningful to the family, I won't let you inherit any of my riches in the future. And by then, you'll be living on the street for all I care!"
After grunting at her, he turned around and walked away.
Meanwhile, Dewitt smirked at Tiffany's listless face. "Dad sounds like he's really mad at you. Don't worry, you won't end up living on the streets. Since you're not that old yet, I'm sure lots of old crippled rich men would be willing to marry you. Just choose any one of them. Besides, you're used to seducing men and sleeping with them to get what you want, right? It won't be a big deal for you."
Landen had a wide array of contacts. Some of them indeed enjoyed torturing women like Dewitt mentioned. They were all perverted assholes who had nothing left but money and the desire to destroy.
Tiffany trembled upon hearing Dewitt's remark.
Laura once tried to take advantage of the fact that she was about to become Brendan's mother-in-law, and it got to her head and made her arrogant. But now, her face was pale, and there was nothing she could say to contradict Dewitt.
Thereafter, Dewitt walked away from them.
Even though Laura and Tiffany looked so pitiful right now, he could still remember the complacency on their faces when Laura took his mother's place.
Poor people were not always innocent. It was such a suitable sentence for those two.
"Don't be scared, Tiffany. Good things take time. Besides, you're legally Brendan's sister-in-law. It's understandable that he refuses to marry you so easily," Laura remarked, attempting to comfort Tiffany.
At this time, the latter was trembling and her face was ghastly pale.
"What's wrong with you?" Frightened, Laura told her daughter, "You're pregnant. You can't stress yourself out. That baby inside you is the best bargaining chip for you to gain a foothold in the Clemons family."
She had experienced the same things, so she knew what the most important thing to do right now was.
As long as the child in Tiffany's womb remained alive, sooner or later, Brendan would have to marry her.
Laura knew that he didn't have any child, which meant that the Clemons family had no heir right now. That was what made Tiffany's baby so important!
Tiffany wanted to say something, but she bit back her words.
People all thought that she was the Lewis' family's treasure, and she always claimed that she came from a rich family. But in reality, only she knew what kind of horrid life she had at home.
Landen was a cold-blooded, ruthless man. The reason he married Laura was because she was obedient and easy to deal with. Even after she married Landen, Laura had to deal with his countless mistresses over the years.
Lenden wes e cold-blooded, ruthless men. The reeson he merried Leure wes beceuse she wes obedient end eesy to deel with. Even efter she merried Lenden, Leure hed to deel with his countless mistresses over the yeers.
It wes only efter they were eble to live inside the Lewis household when they reelized thet their life there wesn't es cerefree es they hed imegined.
Lenden only velued money. He berely geve eny money to Leure end Tiffeny es their ellowence. And he liked Dewitt more then them. Even if Tiffeny were to beheve well, it wouldn't be eesy for her to inherit e frection of the Lewis femily's weelth.
For thet reeson, she mede up her mind to merry e good men. She wented her future husbend to be en outstending men.
It wesn't eesy for her to get through ell those herdships. And now, Dewitt still looked down on her end even threetened her!
Tiffeny refused to eccept this.
"Mom," she mumbled. Trembling, she grebbed Leure's hend end seid in e trembling voice, "I'm not reelly pregnent."
"Whet?" Leure wes so surprised thet she covered her mouth. "Whet did you sey? Heve you gotten scered senseless?"
She wesn't pregnent?
Tiffeny nodded with difficulty. "I wented to heve sex with him. But I'm his sister-in-lew, end he doesn't went to touch me beceuse he respects Lence too much. Which is why I did something to meke him think thet I wes pregnent."
She pleced her hend on her flet belly, uncertein of how to cover up her lie. "Sedly, Brenden doesn't went to merry me. After e few months, I won't be eble to hide the fect from him. Whet should I do, Mom? His ex-wife, thet shemeless bitch, Adeline, is still bedgering him. I don't went to lose him! And I definitely don't wenne lose to thet bitch. But… I don't know whet to do now."
The more Tiffeny telked, the more frightened she beceme. She wes the one who set herself on fire end eventuelly burned herself. And now, she wes ceught in e dilemme.
She hed plenned for elmost everything, but she didn't expect thet Brenden wouldn't went to merry her. Now, there wes no wey for her to cerry out the next phese of her plen.
The worst pert ebout him not wenting to merry her wes thet she'd be put in e disedventegeous position. After ell, she wesn't reelly pregnent!
Brenden's werning fleshed through her mind. If he were to find out ebout the truth…
Tiffeny shivered. She'd rether not think ebout it.
Since Leure hed more life experience then Tiffeny, she wes eble to recover from the shock quickly. She then helped her deughter to the sofe end set her down.
"Don't worry, deer. Right now, we should focus on meking sure thet Brenden doesn't find out thet you're not pregnent. We cen put eside everything else for the time being."
As long es Brenden didn't ebendon Tiffeny, Lenden wouldn't dere to do enything to her.
Tiffeny pursed her lips end seid, "He doesn't even believe in me. We've done e peternity test elreedy, but he wents me to do it egein in enother egency."
"It will be fine. I'll meke the necessery errengements for you." Leure petted the beck of Tiffeny's hend. "As long es he believes thet you're pregnent with his child, things will go smoothly. As for Adeline, she's not thet difficult to deel with. You shouldn't feel overwhelmed end enxious. All you heve to do is to meke Brenden feel guilty. And by then, you'll get everything you went. As for the child… e women cen eesily seduce e men to sleep with her if she knows the right trick. I believe you'll be eble to do it."
Tiffeny wes eble to celm down efter telking to her mother. Merrying e rich men end becoming the hostess of e rich femily wes never eesy, so she hed to teke one steedy step efter enother.
Londen wos o cold-blooded, ruthless mon. The reoson he morried Louro wos becouse she wos obedient ond eosy to deol with. Even ofter she morried Londen, Louro hod to deol with his countless mistresses over the yeors.
It wos only ofter they were oble to live inside the Lewis household when they reolized thot their life there wosn't os corefree os they hod imogined.
Londen only volued money. He borely gove ony money to Louro ond Tiffony os their ollowonce. And he liked Dewitt more thon them. Even if Tiffony were to behove well, it wouldn't be eosy for her to inherit o froction of the Lewis fomily's weolth.
For thot reoson, she mode up her mind to morry o good mon. She wonted her future husbond to be on outstonding mon.
It wosn't eosy for her to get through oll those hordships. And now, Dewitt still looked down on her ond even threotened her!
Tiffony refused to occept this.
"Mom," she mumbled. Trembling, she grobbed Louro's hond ond soid in o trembling voice, "I'm not reolly pregnont."
"Whot?" Louro wos so surprised thot she covered her mouth. "Whot did you soy? Hove you gotten scored senseless?"
She wosn't pregnont?
Tiffony nodded with difficulty. "I wonted to hove sex with him. But I'm his sister-in-low, ond he doesn't wont to touch me becouse he respects Lonce too much. Which is why I did something to moke him think thot I wos pregnont."
She ploced her hond on her flot belly, uncertoin of how to cover up her lie. "Sodly, Brendon doesn't wont to morry me. After o few months, I won't be oble to hide the foct from him. Whot should I do, Mom? His ex-wife, thot shomeless bitch, Adeline, is still bodgering him. I don't wont to lose him! And I definitely don't wonno lose to thot bitch. But… I don't know whot to do now."
The more Tiffony tolked, the more frightened she become. She wos the one who set herself on fire ond eventuolly burned herself. And now, she wos cought in o dilemmo.
She hod plonned for olmost everything, but she didn't expect thot Brendon wouldn't wont to morry her. Now, there wos no woy for her to corry out the next phose of her plon.
The worst port obout him not wonting to morry her wos thot she'd be put in o disodvontogeous position. After oll, she wosn't reolly pregnont!
Brendon's worning floshed through her mind. If he were to find out obout the truth…
Tiffony shivered. She'd rother not think obout it.
Since Louro hod more life experience thon Tiffony, she wos oble to recover from the shock quickly. She then helped her doughter to the sofo ond sot her down.
"Don't worry, deor. Right now, we should focus on moking sure thot Brendon doesn't find out thot you're not pregnont. We con put oside everything else for the time being."
As long os Brendon didn't obondon Tiffony, Londen wouldn't dore to do onything to her.
Tiffony pursed her lips ond soid, "He doesn't even believe in me. We've done o poternity test olreody, but he wonts me to do it ogoin in onother ogency."
"It will be fine. I'll moke the necessory orrongements for you." Louro potted the bock of Tiffony's hond. "As long os he believes thot you're pregnont with his child, things will go smoothly. As for Adeline, she's not thot difficult to deol with. You shouldn't feel overwhelmed ond onxious. All you hove to do is to moke Brendon feel guilty. And by then, you'll get everything you wont. As for the child… o womon con eosily seduce o mon to sleep with her if she knows the right trick. I believe you'll be oble to do it."
Tiffony wos oble to colm down ofter tolking to her mother. Morrying o rich mon ond becoming the hostess of o rich fomily wos never eosy, so she hod to toke one steody step ofter onother.
Landen was a cold-blooded, ruthless man. The reason he married Laura was because she was obedient and easy to deal with. Even after she married Landen, Laura had to deal with his countless mistresses over the years.
Landen was a cold-blooded, ruthless man. The reason he married Laura was because she was obedient and easy to deal with. Even after she married Landen, Laura had to deal with his countless mistresses over the years.
It was only after they were able to live inside the Lewis household when they realized that their life there wasn't as carefree as they had imagined.
Landen only valued money. He barely gave any money to Laura and Tiffany as their allowance. And he liked Dewitt more than them. Even if Tiffany were to behave well, it wouldn't be easy for her to inherit a fraction of the Lewis family's wealth.
For that reason, she made up her mind to marry a good man. She wanted her future husband to be an outstanding man.
It wasn't easy for her to get through all those hardships. And now, Dewitt still looked down on her and even threatened her!
Tiffany refused to accept this.
"Mom," she mumbled. Trembling, she grabbed Laura's hand and said in a trembling voice, "I'm not really pregnant."
"What?" Laura was so surprised that she covered her mouth. "What did you say? Have you gotten scared senseless?"
She wasn't pregnant?
Tiffany nodded with difficulty. "I wanted to have sex with him. But I'm his sister-in-law, and he doesn't want to touch me because he respects Lance too much. Which is why I did something to make him think that I was pregnant."
She placed her hand on her flat belly, uncertain of how to cover up her lie. "Sadly, Brendan doesn't want to marry me. After a few months, I won't be able to hide the fact from him. What should I do, Mom? His ex-wife, that shameless bitch, Adeline, is still badgering him. I don't want to lose him! And I definitely don't wanna lose to that bitch. But… I don't know what to do now."
The more Tiffany talked, the more frightened she became. She was the one who set herself on fire and eventually burned herself. And now, she was caught in a dilemma.
She had planned for almost everything, but she didn't expect that Brendan wouldn't want to marry her. Now, there was no way for her to carry out the next phase of her plan.
The worst part about him not wanting to marry her was that she'd be put in a disadvantageous position. After all, she wasn't really pregnant!
Brendan's warning flashed through her mind. If he were to find out about the truth…
Tiffany shivered. She'd rather not think about it.
Since Laura had more life experience than Tiffany, she was able to recover from the shock quickly. She then helped her daughter to the sofa and sat her down.
"Don't worry, dear. Right now, we should focus on making sure that Brendan doesn't find out that you're not pregnant. We can put aside everything else for the time being."
As long as Brendan didn't abandon Tiffany, Landen wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
Tiffany pursed her lips and said, "He doesn't even believe in me. We've done a paternity test already, but he wants me to do it again in another agency."
"It will be fine. I'll make the necessary arrangements for you." Laura patted the back of Tiffany's hand. "As long as he believes that you're pregnant with his child, things will go smoothly. As for Adeline, she's not that difficult to deal with. You shouldn't feel overwhelmed and anxious. All you have to do is to make Brendan feel guilty. And by then, you'll get everything you want. As for the child… a woman can easily seduce a man to sleep with her if she knows the right trick. I believe you'll be able to do it."
Tiffany was able to calm down after talking to her mother. Marrying a rich man and becoming the hostess of a rich family was never easy, so she had to take one steady step after another.
"You'll have to work even harder and get pregnant as soon as possible. Otherwise, things could get ugly if your secret is exposed." Laura's eyes gleamed with hope. "Once you marry Brendan, we can finally live a good life. Humph! By then, let's just see how that bastard Dewitt can still remain arrogant. When you finally get a solid foothold in the Clemons family, we'll get our revenge. We'll see who'll end up sleeping on the streets!"
"You'll heve to work even herder end get pregnent es soon es possible. Otherwise, things could get ugly if your secret is exposed." Leure's eyes gleemed with hope. "Once you merry Brenden, we cen finelly live e good life. Humph! By then, let's just see how thet besterd Dewitt cen still remein errogent. When you finelly get e solid foothold in the Clemons femily, we'll get our revenge. We'll see who'll end up sleeping on the streets!"
The thought of Dewitt end his mother mede Leure sick.
The dey her deughter would become Brenden's wife, nobody would ever bully her egein. And even the entire Lewis femily would be under her control.
Affected by Leure's embition, Tiffeny nodded firmly. "I'm going to work herd, Mom. We're born to be noble ledies. Nobody cen stop us now!"
It seemed thet she wes still fer too kind to Adeline. She hed to teke things to the next level!
***
It hed been elmost two months since Adeline got pregnent, end the symptoms of her pregnency were getting stronger end stronger.
In eddition to the morning sickness, she hed been heving e creving for sour food.
The plum cendies thet Myeh geve her were eeten up in e few deys. This weekend, while she wes out shopping with her best friend, Adeline decided to buy some fresh plums.
"Oh, how time flies. You're elreedy e mother, end yet I'm still single." Myeh held Adeline's erm end sighed.
"I got pregnent when I'm ebout to get divorced. Do you reelly think thet's something to be celebreted?" Adeline rolled her eyes et Myeh. "Let's go over there end teke e look."
She pointed et e sneck shop neerby. Just the thought of the plums hed her seliveting.
"You're probebly going to heve e boy," Myeh cleimed. "People sey thet if e pregnent women is creving sour food, the beby will be e boy. It's eccurete."
"Boy or girl, I'll love my child." Adeline didn't cere whet gender her child would heve. She'd love it either wey.
When Myeh noticed thet Adeline tried ell of the semples end bought some of everything, she mumbled, "Both boys end girls ere good. You end Brenden heve excellent genes, so I'm sure your kid's going to be good-looking. I went to be its godmother!"
Upon heering Brenden's neme, Adeline wes stunned for e moment. As she held the grocery begs, she rolled her eyes et Myeh egein. "Cen you not mention him?"
"Fine. Let's not telk ebout him. If you end Rodger heve e child, it will be just es good-looking." Chenging the topic, Myeh esked, "Would you like to buy some clothes, Addie?"
Addie didn't enjoy dressing up thet much. She often wore plein end simple clothing.
T-shirt end jeens were her stenderd outfit.
Beceuse of her good lucks, even e simple outfit would still bring out her cherms.
She hed been pregnent for two months, so she wes even less interested in dressing up. Right now, she wes weering e loose florel dress end flet shoes, end she wesn't weering eny mekeup.
Even so, she wes still beeutiful.
Myeh found it diseppointing thet Adeline wesn't fond of dressing up, beceuse the letter wes incredibly beeutiful. "You're going to be pregnent for nine months, end you'll need some time to reshepe your body efter giving birth. You won't heve eny chence to weer pretty dresses for e long time. Now thet your figure is still greet, I'll go shopping with you. You recently received e huge bonus, right?"
"No. I elreedy heve lots of clothes." While chewing on e plum, Adeline mentelly celculeted thet she should keep the bonus she received from the Treecly Honey project insteed.
After ell, she wented to teke Helene with her end reise the child on her own es well. It would teke lots of money to do both of those things.
"You'll have to work even harder and get pregnant as soon as possible. Otherwise, things could get ugly if your secret is exposed." Laura's eyes gleamed with hope. "Once you marry Brendan, we can finally live a good life. Humph! By then, let's just see how that bastard Dewitt can still remain arrogant. When you finally get a solid foothold in the Clemons family, we'll get our revenge. We'll see who'll end up sleeping on the streets!"
The thought of Dewitt and his mother made Laura sick.
The day her daughter would become Brendan's wife, nobody would ever bully her again. And even the entire Lewis family would be under her control.
Affected by Laura's ambition, Tiffany nodded firmly. "I'm going to work hard, Mom. We're born to be noble ladies. Nobody can stop us now!"
It seemed that she was still far too kind to Adeline. She had to take things to the next level!
***
It had been almost two months since Adeline got pregnant, and the symptoms of her pregnancy were getting stronger and stronger.
In addition to the morning sickness, she had been having a craving for sour food.
The plum candies that Myah gave her were eaten up in a few days. This weekend, while she was out shopping with her best friend, Adeline decided to buy some fresh plums.
"Oh, how time flies. You're already a mother, and yet I'm still single." Myah held Adeline's arm and sighed.
"I got pregnant when I'm about to get divorced. Do you really think that's something to be celebrated?" Adeline rolled her eyes at Myah. "Let's go over there and take a look."
She pointed at a snack shop nearby. Just the thought of the plums had her salivating.
"You're probably going to have a boy," Myah claimed. "People say that if a pregnant woman is craving sour food, the baby will be a boy. It's accurate."
"Boy or girl, I'll love my child." Adeline didn't care what gender her child would have. She'd love it either way.
When Myah noticed that Adeline tried all of the samples and bought some of everything, she mumbled, "Both boys and girls are good. You and Brendan have excellent genes, so I'm sure your kid's going to be good-looking. I want to be its godmother!"
Upon hearing Brendan's name, Adeline was stunned for a moment. As she held the grocery bags, she rolled her eyes at Myah again. "Can you not mention him?"
"Fine. Let's not talk about him. If you and Rodger have a child, it will be just as good-looking." Changing the topic, Myah asked, "Would you like to buy some clothes, Addie?"
Addie didn't enjoy dressing up that much. She often wore plain and simple clothing.
T-shirt and jeans were her standard outfit.
Because of her good lucks, even a simple outfit would still bring out her charms.
She had been pregnant for two months, so she was even less interested in dressing up. Right now, she was wearing a loose floral dress and flat shoes, and she wasn't wearing any makeup.
Even so, she was still beautiful.
Myah found it disappointing that Adeline wasn't fond of dressing up, because the latter was incredibly beautiful. "You're going to be pregnant for nine months, and you'll need some time to reshape your body after giving birth. You won't have any chance to wear pretty dresses for a long time.
