Always Been Yours (Tessa and Nicholas) novel Chapter 1516

Chapter 1516 It Went Well Enough

It turned out that Mona was pregnant!

Nobody spoke up during the drive.

A short while later, the car stopped in front of a well-furnished private restaurant.

Edward got out of the car and walked around to the back of the car to open the door for Mona in a gentlemanly manner.

"Thank you." Mona thanked him as she got out of the car, but her expression was very unnatural.

He pretended not to notice the strange expression on her face.

When they entered the private room, he handed her the menu. "Have a look at the menu. What do you want to eat?"

"I'm fine with anything. You can order as you please." She did not take the menu from him.

He glanced at her but did not force the issue.

They exchanged a glance with each other.

Then, Edward gentlemanly offered for her to speak first. "Ladies first."

Mona did not mince around the subject. Nodding slightly, she got straight to the point. "I'm pregnant, but we both know that what happened that night was just an accident. As one of the parties involved, I believe that you have the right to know about this matter."

It's just that you failed in your confession not too long ago. Coincidentally, my family is also forcing me to get married. I don't have a suitable marriage candidate at the moment. Compared to marrying somebody we don't know, why don't you consider starting a relationship with me instead?"

As soon as she heard those words, she froze in surprise. In fact, she could even be said to be dumbfounded by his words. She had been

Edward studied the woman's pale complexion and frowned. "How about I bring you to the hospital for an examination?"

"There's no need forthat. This is normal." While speaking, Mona covered her mouth with her hands and retched once more.

Unable to bear watching her miserable appearance, he stepped forward and picked her up in his arms. Then, he brought her to the hospital for an examination.

Early the next morning, Tessa was worried about Mona's morning sickness. She eventually asked the chef at home to prepare something light for her to bring to the hotel.

When she arrived at the hotel and knocked on Mona's room door, she was astonished to see Edward opening the door.

"Why are you here?"

"Mona was suffering from severe morning sickness last night. I got worried, so I stayed over to take care of her," Edward explained while leading Tessa into the room.

Tessa looked around the empty living room and asked, "Where's Mona?"

"She's resting at the moment." After saying that, he gestured for her to take a seat on the couch.
