Holding the report, Rebecca Quentin looked happily at the pile of complex data displayed on it.
Though she couldn’t understand it, she inexplicably felt good, and even found the data quite adorable.
Looking down at her visibly swollen belly with joy, Rebecca recalled the doctor’s words...
The doctor said her pregnancy was lower, which would be more tiring than usual, but she didn’t feel tired at all. She enjoyed the feeling of the child moving inside her, even though it wasn’t kicking and punching yet, it brought her immense satisfaction.
At this moment, perhaps too immersed in her own joy, Rebecca failed to notice a tall woman passing by her side.
It wasn’t until a familiar call echoed behind her that Rebecca stopped in her tracks, her body tensing from recognizing the voice.
"Becca, it really is you!"
Isabella Joanna excitedly walked up to Rebecca, removed her sunglasses that covered her entire face, and her face was full of unexpected delight.
Rebecca looked up and shot Isabella a distant glance, "What a coincidence to run into you here."
Isabella’s gaze immediately settled on Rebecca’s protruding stomach, "You’re... pregnant?"
"Yes, hehe..." In the past, she never thought that one day when facing Isabella, she would smile so awkwardly.
Isabella was once the friend she could talk to about anything and the most trusted person in her life. But that incident changed their relationship.
After that incident, Isabella did try to call her, but she didn’t answer. When she came to America, she also cut off contact.
She admitted she could never accept such a betrayal, even though she and Howard Geoffrey were no longer together.
"Is it Mr. Geoffrey’s?"
Rebecca took a deep breath to suppress the pang of hurt in her heart when she saw Isabella again, and she calmly said, "It’s mine alone, I have no contact with him anymore."
"Becca, I’ve always wanted to explain that matter to you..."
"No need to explain, it doesn’t matter to me anymore... I’m sorry, I have something to do, I must go now." With that, Rebecca took a step forward.
Isabella reached out to stop her, tears brimming in her eyes, choking, "Becca, can’t you stay? You’re making it hard for me, I... I don’t want to lose you as a friend!"
Rebecca ignored the tears in Isabella’s eyes, her gaze hollow as she looked ahead, "Then you’ll be disappointed, we can no longer be friends."
"No, Becca, Howard Geoffrey and I are not what you think, actually... actually the person I was involved with is Roger Leonard!!"
Suddenly raising her eyes, Rebecca stared at Isabella in disbelief.
Isabella held Rebecca’s hand, pleading, "Can you listen to the whole story now?"
Rebecca was too shocked to respond.
Isabella then said, "There are too many people here, let’s find a quiet place so I can tell you slowly."
At this moment, Rebecca and Isabella sat in an exotic open-air café.
Mindful of their condition, they both ordered water and desserts.
Isabella spoke slowly, "Becca, you should remember I once told you about a man who made me very unhappy, he was Roger Leonard!"
The incredulity in Rebecca’s eyes deepened, "Why have you never told me that person was Roger Leonard?"
"I met him at a party, I had no idea who he was, and we ended up sleeping together in a complete fog. Later we went our separate ways and life went on as usual... Until one day, Jason Wood came to me! I told you before that Jason came to find me on Howard Geoffrey’s orders, at that time I couldn’t stand you being treated unfairly, so I confronted Howard, unexpectedly, he didn’t get angry at my scolding! Maybe that day I saw Howard’s friendly attitude, and I thought five million could give you a good life, so I agreed to hand that money to you, the matter originally ended there. Unexpectedly, a few days later, Howard actually sent someone to invite me out to dinner! I admit, no woman can refuse Howard Geoffrey’s invitation, let alone he’s always been my dream man, so that day, I went out to dinner with Howard! From that time on, my interactions with him became more frequent, he gave me clothes, bags, and even his business card and a bank card. I sincerely thought he was pursuing me, but I’m not an irrational woman, even as I was captivated by the romance he created, I knew Howard was your happiness, and I couldn’t continue with him, so in the end, I chose to withdraw!"
