A Ruling Passion – Chapter 0311

“Ari is pregnant. I’ve checked the medical report, it’s been twelve weeks. About three months, I’m guessing. She’s not alone now, and she’s had to work overtime until very late recently. She always looks pale and exhausted when she arrives home, all for the sake of some meager salary. It’s heartbreaking. I don’t know what’s happened between you two. She’s probably refusing to tell you because she doesn’t want to move back home. She’s pregnant, after all. It’s more important for her to remain happy. I’m just giving you a heads up. It’s still best to let her stay wherever she wants. What do you think?” Lillian tread cautiously with her every word as she tried her best to read Mark’s expression.

Mark shivered. 'She’s pregnant again?'

His mind immediately thought of the day Arianne had been admitted to the hospital, bleeding profusely. He also remembered what the doctor had said, the chances of her getting pregnant again are very slim... Later, they had only made love a few times, and it wasn’t frequent. Even though they didn’t use protection, how could she have possibly gotten pregnant so easily under such slim circumstances, and so coincidentally to boot? Besides... She was precisely around three months along. It also coincided with the time she was at Summer Hotel with Will...

His expression remained unchanged. He turned around and put his coffee cup on his office desk. “It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to come home. That’s completely up to her. Thank you for telling me. I’ll have my secretary get you some money later. You don’t have to tell her that it’s from me. Just use it on her daily food. Please take care of her.”

Lillian’s entire goal for this trip was for the sake of money. So, when Mark said this, she could not conceal her glee. “Okay, okay, okay! I understand.”
