A Ruling Passion: Mr Tremont's Priceless Little Bride novel Chapter 310

“Ari is pregnant. I’ve checked the medical report, it’s been twelve weeks. About three months, I’m guessing. She’s not alone now, and she’s had to work overtime until very late recently. She always looks pale and exhausted when she arrives home, all for the sake of some meager salary. It’s heartbreaking. I don’t know what’s happened between you two. She’s probably refusing to tell you because she doesn’t want to move back home. She’s pregnant, after all. It’s more important for her to remain happy. I’m just giving you a heads up. It’s still best to let her stay wherever she wants. What do you think?” Lillian tread cautiously with her every word as she tried her best to read Mark’s expression.

Mark shivered. She’s pregnant again? His mind immediately thought of the day Arianne had been admitted to the hospital, bleeding profusely. He also remembered what the doctor had said — the chances of her getting pregnant again are very slim… Later, they had only made love a few times, and it wasn’t frequent. Even though they didn’t use protection, how could she have possibly gotten pregnant so easily under such slim circumstances, and so coincidentally to boot? Besides… She was precisely around three months along. It also coincided with the time she was at Summer Hotel with Will…

His expression remained unchanged. He turned around and put his coffee cup on his office desk. “It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t want to come home. That’s completely up to her. Thank you for telling me. I’ll have my secretary get you some money later. You don’t have to tell her that it’s from me. Just use it on her daily food. Please take care of her.”

Lillian’s entire goal for this trip was for the sake of money. So, when Mark said this, she could not conceal her glee. “Okay, okay, okay! I understand.”

Soon, Ellie walked in from outside and pulled out a large envelope full of cash from a black handbag. Lillian’s great love for money allowed her to discern that there was at least $100,000 in the envelope, and this was her first time asking for money too. Arianne’s pregnancy would last for many months… The thought of this filled her with absolute glee.

After emerging from the building with the cash in hand, Lillian’s back was much straighter than before. She couldn’t conceal the smile on her face, no matter how hard she tried. She turned a corner and arrived at a jewelry store. She had thought it through — buying clothes would easily draw Tiffany’s attention, but buying jewelry was less risky.

…

Despite having said that she wouldn’t be doing overtime, Arianne still wasn’t the first to leave every day. It was 10PM again by the time she finished work at night. Eric had volunteered to drive her home, but she refused. Her tummy was rapidly developing lately, and she wore thin clothes due to the summer weather. It would be easy to spot once she sat down.
