Chapter 431 Because of the Baby For sreason, Bella couldn't help but think about the photo she saw in Zion's wallet. She asked, "Was he the one who initiated things? How far did the two of you go?" Lia recalled what had happened. "That's right. I'm just a woman. How could I possibly be the one to take the initiative in such things? Also, the only thing we've ever done is kiss..." Bella massaged her temples, feeling helpless. In the end, she decided to be frank and said, "The next the comes, you should check if the photo he keeps in his wallet is still there.
"You two have only known each other for a very short amount of time. Do you know how small the chances are for someone to fall in love at first sight? Let alone the chances for two people to fall at the stime. "I'm a firm believer that feelings can grow over time. I know that there's still a long road ahead for the both of you, but I don't want him to have someone in his heart still while he's dating you. It'll just be unfair toward you." Lia's eyes flickered slightly. "A-Are you trying to tellthat he already has someone he likes? But since he's going to marry me, doesn't that mean he'll never have a chance to be with the person he likes? "You've also said it yourself- feelings can grow over time. I'm willing to give him as much tas he needs." At that moment, Bella felt like Lia had matured. She thought that her friend was no longer that impulsive and fiery woman. Bella knew that she did not have to worry about Lia anymore. Suddenly, there was a knock on their door. Carla cautiously looked through the peephole before opening the door.
A tall man in a black suit handed Carla several large gift bags.

As Mr. Morse is busy and cannot drop by himself, he has askedto deliver his regards to Ms. Jones." Bella wasn't sure if the "Mr. Morse", the man was referring to meant Victor or Sean, so she went to the door and asked, "Are you referring to Victor Morse?" The man nodded. "That's right." Bella felt slightly uneasy as she had already owed Victor one. After all, Hallie had already bought a lot of clothes for her and her child.
Now that Victor had sent over many supplements for her pregnancy, she felt overwhelmed by the amount of kind gestures they had showered her with.
d Victor were Dominic's Hallie and Victor friends, not hers. Now that her relationship with Dominic had. reached such an awkward state, it felt like Hallie and Victor were giving gifts to the wrong person.
But Bella could not refuse their gifts either. She did not want to ruin Dominic's relationship with the Morses. Just like always, she took photos of the gifts and explained her dilemma to Dominic. Unexpectedly, Dominic only replied with a short message.
His message wrote, "They're giving you gifts because of the baby in your belly, not because of you. You can just accept them." She was slightly annoyed by his reply but could not explain why she was mad. She looked at her belly, feeling slightly frustrated. She truly felt like she was really receiving a lot because of her baby.
Ultimately, she agreed with Dominic. Moreover, the house she lived in now was also thanks to the baby.
Lia decided to stay for the night as she and Bella talked the night away, chatting about all kinds of stuff. They eventually lost track of tand woke up late the next day.
In fact, Bella woke up to Lia shaking her. Lia pushed her phone into Bella's face and said, "There are photos of you and Dominic at the hospital!" Bella was immediately alert. She immediately began reading the news article and was filled with exasperation. Her expectations had been realized.
