Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1008

Elijah seemed confused. "Vicky, what's wrong?"

She snapped out of it. "It's fine."

Elijah wanted to say something, but soon noticed the wound on her lips and the marks on her neck.

Vicky noticed his gaze and instinctively covered her neck with her hand.

They were both adults, and Elijah immediately knew what those marks meant.

Since he and Vicky were not actually dating, he did not question what happened the night before and simply cleared his throat, "Ahem... Vicky, why don't I get you a scarf?"

Vicky did not want others to see the marks on her either, so she nodded. "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

The two of them walked and chatted, heading toward the direction of the cloakroom.

As they turned a corner, Missus Harrisons ran into them and exclaimed in surprise, "Breakfast is prepared. Why haven't you come downstairs yet?"

"We need to go back and get something. We'll be down in a moment."

"Hurry up, then. Don't keep our guests waiting downstairs for too long."

"Okay."

Missus Harrisons was about to leave when she caught sight of the wounds on Vicky's neck and lips, causing her to freeze in her tracks. "Vicky, what happened to you..." Missus Harrisons seemed to realize something and a look of joy appeared on her face. "Oh my, it seems the Harrison family is about to have a new child!"

Vicky and Elijah were both stunned.

The guests laughed and said, "It's normal for young people to sleep in. We're not hungry."

Someone with keen eyes noticed Vicky was wearing lipstick and the swollen lips she struggled to hide. They teased, "It won't be long before the Harrisons family welcomes a new member. Old Madam Harrison, you'll get to hold your great-grandchild soon."

Old Madam Harrison waved her hand toward Vicky and said, "Vicky, come and sit next to Grandma."

Vicky complied and walked over.

Old Madam Harrison was especially fond of Vicky and always made sure that Vicky sat beside her during family gatherings.

As soon as Vicky sat down next to Old Madam Harrison, the elderly woman held her hand and smiled. "Vicky, work hard with Elijah and bring our Harrisons family a great-grandchild. Boy or girl doesn't matter. Grandma doesn't have a preference."

The wealthier and older the family was, the more they favored male descendants over females. Old Madam Harrisons' words made Vicky feel both moved and guilty at the same time.
