Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 724

"Is Audrey pregnant?" Whitney asked, raising an eyebrow inquisitively.

"Yeah, just found out."

Audrey's expression was shy, a clear sign of her happiness.

"And Mr. Lutz is okay with you working through your pregnancy?"

"Maybe it's because I'm more considerate and competent," Audrey replied, not without a hint of pride.

Whitney offered a serene smile, "Doesn't your husband mind you working so hard?"

Audrey's face stiffened momentarily before she said with deliberate nonchalance, "I'm not married yet. This baby is my boyfriend's."

"Oh, bring your boyfriend next time. We should all grab dinner together, you, me, Bryce," Whitney suggested, seemingly out of politeness.

Yet, Audrey felt an underlying pressure in her words, unsure if Whitney was hinting at something.

Hiding her sarcasm, Audrey hinted, "Oh, you'll meet my boyfriend sooner or later, Ms. Valentine."

"Alright, I'm tired. Won't keep you for tea then," Whitney replied coolly.
