Gossip Girl Reborn by Darlene Nunez

Chapter 293 Acting So Odd

Finished

As Aiden spoke, he wore an expression of resignation. He was known to be playful, so he set the phone on speaker so everyone could listen in.

"It's like this. I need to go for a prenatal checkup, but your father isn't available. Could you come with me?" Yvonne asked hesitantly. "You know my pregnancy is a bit risky."

Upon hearing that, everyone was somewhat taken aback. Her request for assistance would have been understandable if her relationship with Aiden were harmonious, but the two weren't that close.

Aiden was rather speechless as he stuck his tongue out at Ines. Then, he said, "No, you're the dangerous one. I should keep my distance. If something goes wrong, it'll ruin my father's happiness of having a son in his old age. The blame will fall on me. I have no desire for any competition. You should find someone else to avoid any suspicion. That way, we can both be at ease

After speaking, he covered the phone, turned to the crowd, and asked, "Is she trying to compete with me?"

The crowd didn't know. All sorts of things could happen within a wealthy family, so that incident couldn't really be considered too strange.

After all, Yvonne seemed to have no relatives by her side. Thus, for her to seek Aiden's assistance during such times was somewhat justifiable, considering he was, after all, the young master of his family. Roland mouthed, "Is it your dad's idea?"

Sure enough, the next m at, Yvonne was heard saying, "It was your father's iden."

Elaine immediately gave Roland a thumbs up, to which Roland merely shrugged in response..

Isabella looked at Roland with admiration. As expected of a cop. His reaction time is so quick, even faster than Alexander's!

No, I did think of it. I just didn't say it out loud. Somewhat aggrievedly, Alexander looked at his wife. He wanted to show off, but he wasn't the type to boast. Seeing his wife admiring Roland, he felt jealous. Upon hearing the response, Aiden pouted. I don't care those idea it is. Does she think I'm that free?

Just as he was about to refuse, Yvonne spoke again, her tone tinged with a hint of sadness. "Regardless, this child is your kin. Don't you care at all?"

Aiden suddenly felt goosebumps.

If someone didn't know any better, they'd think she wasn't talking about Aiden's half-sibling but rather Aiden's own child with that tone. What's up with her? She's acting rather odd, isn't she? Isabella
