Chapter 599
Mikaela still didn’t have a good expression on her face toward me, but fortunately, she didn’t start scolding me as soon as she saw me like before. Although she always turned up her nose at the food I brought, she still graciously ate a little bit each time. Kimberly used to make a few comments about the food I brought, but now she doesn’t say anything and just stands quietly on the side watching me and Mikaela. The more silent she was, the more frightening she seemed.
Mikaela drank most of the soup, then pushed it away, wiped her mouth, and casually said, “This soup is nowhere near as good as the one Kimberly made, but I can still manage to drink it.”
I smiled and said, “Then just make do with this drink for now, I’ll improve it next time.”
Mikaela glanced at me, then her eyes flicked intentionally or unintentionally to my stomach. After a while, she said to Kimberly, “The doctor just prescribed me some medicine. Could you go to the pharmacy window and pick it up for me? You’ve been working hard these days.”
“Wherever you are, Mikaela, you are half a mother to me. If I don’t take care of you, who will?” Kimberly spoke softly, then took the prescription handed to her and walked out.
After Kimberly left, Mikaela leaned back in her chair, looking sharply at my stomach. “I knew you were pregnant.”
I was not very surprised. Last time when I vomited in front of her, she already had some suspicions about me. These days, she would occasionally look at my stomach, so she guessed it was normal.
I openly admitted, “Well, it’s been over four months.”
“Hehe, the first pregnancy is not very obvious. Reynaldo doesn’t know yet, right?”
I was relieved that Mikaela did not doubt that these two children were Reynaldo’s. I nodded and said, “A few days ago I told him, but he didn’t believe that I was pregnant; he thought I was just trying to trick him.”
Mikaela sighed, seemingly not surprised by what I said. She exclaimed, “Reynaldo grew up in hell since he was a child. He is very sensitive and extreme; he tends to reject and resist everything beautiful at first sight. He was afraid of possessing, because after possessing, he could not bear the pain and blow of losing. And you were the only one he fought for with his own efforts. If it weren’t for him promising Theodore to be with Kimberly for a lifetime, I wouldn’t have any objections to him being with you. However, since the promise has been made, it must be fulfilled, even if you are now pregnant with his child, he can only end up with Kimberly in the end.”
I frowned heavily and asked angrily, “Then I have to ask you, what exactly is he in your heart? Is it a son, or a tool for you to repay kindness?”
“What do you mean by that?” Mikaela’s face darkened.
I took a deep breath and said in a low voice, “I didn’t mean anything by it. What I wanted to say is that he is also a person, your own son. He also had his own desires and emotions. Why did you have to sacrifice his lifelong happiness for the debt of gratitude you owed him? He had a hard time when he was young, that’s one thing, but now he has grown up, are you still not letting him go? He said that in this world, you were the most important person to him…”
“You shut up!”
