Chapter 67

Georgina asked thoughtfully, "Doesn't Aidan hate her?"

"Yes, but I don't know what's happened recently. Aidan warned me not to provoke her again."

After picking up the wine glass, Georgina said casually, "Perhaps it's because she's pregnant."

When she heard that, Anna suddenly widened her eyes in shock. "What?! She—"

Georgina added softly, "I saw her going for a maternity check in the hospital before. My instincts say that she's pregnant, but I can't prove it. I've tested my theory several times, and I can conclude that there's at least an eighty percent chance that she's pregnant. However, don't announce anything yet, Anna. I know she and Aidan have divorced, so it's still unclear as to who the child might belong to."

Although Georgina euphemistically said those words, she had successfully conveyed a hidden meaning. In an instant, hatred rose on Anna's face.

That shameless woman has been pestering Zayn recently, and she suddenly showed up again today! She must be planning to threaten us using the child in her stomach! I bet she'll force Zayn to marry her in front of everyone! No! I shall never let this happen!"

Enraged with her thoughts, Anna turned around and went to find Leanna.

Meanwhile, Georgina stared at her silhouette and slowly drank the wine from the glass.

Meanwhile, Leanna was still waiting to receive news from Zoe. As time passed, her panic and unease gradually grew stronger.

At this moment, someone shouted to her, "Hey, you there! Come over and clean up this place."

At that, Leanna looked over. When she saw the wine stains on the floor, she thought, Someone's child must've accidentally knocked over the wine glass while playing, and the red wine stains are all over the floor now.

The person noticed that she hadn't moved, so they said again, "What are you doing? Don't you know how important all the guests are today? Are you going to take responsibility if anyone slips?"

"Leanna." Suddenly, Zayn's voice came from the side.

When the person who was behaving arrogant earlier saw Zayn, their attitude changed drastically. Then, the person stepped forward to greet him, saying, "Mr. Barnett, I have long heard about you. I'm—"

Zayn side-eyed him, and the gentleness between his eyebrows had long since disappeared. After walking up to Leanna, he then dragged her out of the front hall.
