I only smiled at her comment. Hendrix took over the suitcase from her, while Monique came to hold my arm. She patted on my belly and said, "It's bigger than before. Three more months to go!"

I glanced at her slightly bulging belly. Monique was wearing loose clothes, so others couldn't really tell that she was pregnant at first glance.

I asked with a smile, "Why did you come back so suddenly?" I thought she would stay in the countryside until she gave birth to the child.

"lan is coming to Ucrebury, isn't he? I came back to see him. It's been a long time since I met him. I kind of miss him," said Monique. She looked better than when I had left her.

Hendrix walked in front of us with the suitcases. Monique came near me and whispered into my ears, "So, are you two all right now?"

I shrugged. "It's hard to say. Andrea just came back. I can't say anything for sure for the future."

"D*mn!" She was annoyed. "I thought she went back to her rich birth parents? Why can't she just stay in Jarold City and enjoy her life? Why does she have to come back to Ucrebury to cause trouble?"

"I think she's taking over Madam Lawson's work," Since Andrea was back, I didn't know what would happen in the future. Anyway, it was safe to say that I wasn't at ease.

She curled her lips in disdain. "She's like a ghost haunting you."

I didn't comment on it further. Instead, I asked about our other mutual acquaintance, "Did lan tell you when he will come?"
