Unmasking Mrs. Newton's Secret Identities novel Chapter 1712

"Of course," Chandler replied, adopting a serious tone. "Just look at Adrian and Ursula. Men and women fundamentally think differently; they can't fully understand each other. That's why I believe it's important to give them a sister."

"Why not a brother?" Helen asked.

"Sounds like you're on board with the idea."

"Wait, what?"

Helen froze, realizing too late what he was implying. As she turned to escape, Chandler quickly caught her, playfully tossing her onto the bed and pulling the blanket over them.

"You're not getting away that easily."

…

After leaving Chandler's room, Adrian found an excuse to take Ursula and leave Newton Residence.

Once they were a short distance away, Adrian finally broke the tense silence. "What did you talk about with Chandler and Helen?"

"I was just asking for some advice on pregnancy matters," Ursula replied casually, gazing out the window.

"I'll hire a professional caregiver for you when the time comes. What's there to worry about?" Adrian said, unconvinced by her response.

"I may be carrying your child, but that doesn't mean I'm your puppet. I don't need your permission for everything I do," Ursula shot back, still avoiding his gaze.

Frustrated, Adrian turned to look out the window. "I'm just reminding you not to think about leaving me. Right now, I'm not just your creditor; I'm also the father of your child. You can do what you want, but I still have the right to restrict your movements."

A cold laugh escaped Ursula's lips. "I didn't realize you cared so much about the child."

But today was different. Everywhere they went, their classmates seemed to avoid them, as though they were some kind of threat.

By the time Lincoln and Sienna reached the front door, the students at the back of the room instantly scattered.

This strange treatment went on for several days. On Friday, the group leader even refused to collect Lincoln's and Sienna's homework.

While Lincoln wasn't overly bothered, Sienna's once-cheerful demeanor had dimmed under the pressure of their sudden exclusion.

Fed up, Lincoln finally pulled Howard and Jeremiah aside.

"Alright, enough of this. What's going on?" he demanded.

"I knew you'd catch on eventually!" Jeremiah said, his voice laced with frustration. "It's Steven from Class A. He's the one behind all of this. He's been tutoring the whole class and convincing them to isolate you two."
