Being Pursued By Ex-husband

Chapter 487 Exhausted

"I'm pregnant!"

Although Sophia had already guessed that, she was still slightly shocked when she heard Katherine actually uttering those words. "How far along are you?"

"Fourteen weeks."

Sophia smiled. "Congratulations! You're about to be a mom!"

Katherine caressed her belly. "Time really flies, doesn't it, Soph? Lately, I keep recalling the time when we used to play billiards together after school. It feels as if we just graduated not that long ago, and yet, it's been more than half a year since Joshua and I got married. I'm even pregnant with his child now."

She covered her face with her hands as she went on, "Gosh, this feels like a dream."

Reminiscing about the past, Sophia began to feel rather nostalgic as well.

"Indeed, it does feel like a dream," she agreed with a sigh. "So, are you planning to make it public?"

Katherine pouted. "No way. Those people are much too terrifying. If my child has to be under their scrutiny from the moment they're born, wouldn't that be the same as being imprisoned for life?"

Even though Katherine was usually a little slow, she could be quite smart at times as well.

Craving the spotlight, she had aspired to become a star ever since she was a child. Since she was little, she had always admired Sophia and Joshua. From elementary school to high school, those two were the role models of their peers, their excellence unparalleled.

Katherine knew on a deep level that it was unlikely she would ever be as brilliant as them in terms of academics. Fortunately, her mother, whom she had never met before, had blessed her with an attractive face. Thus, it occurred to Katherine that she could work toward becoming a celebrity.

However, after she successfully became one, she realized it was not all sunshine and rainbows like she had expected.

Katherine was considered one of the lucky ones among those who had entered the entertainment industry, as she had Sophia and Joshua protecting her at all times. Although she still suffered quite a few grievances, she never had to worry about being bullied.

Nonetheless, Katherine sometimes still felt rather sick of being in the entertainment industry, especially during the time that she and Joshua had not yet made their relationship public. Back then, she felt as though they were filming a spy film whenever they went on a date.

It did feel quite fun and exciting in the beginning, but after some time, it became mentally and physically draining. Unfortunately, the paparazzi would not stop coming after them.

Katherine did not want her child to grow up under such trauma. She considered herself a mediocre person and had no hopes that her child would grow up to be extraordinary. All she hoped for her child was that they would grow up in a healthy and loving family and have a more pleasant childhood than she and Joshua did.
