"Jason is gonna think I've turned into a pumpkin when he gets back!" Nydia fretted, catching a glimpse of her
reflection and not liking the fuller figure staring back at her.
"Turned into a pumpkin? Look at you! Those legs, those arms, slim as ever. It's just the baby bump making you
feel this way, and that's perfectly normal," Evadne reassured her, gently squeezing Nydia's arm while they both
stood in front of the mirror. Her eyes sparkled with the excitement of welcoming a new life, though she couldn't
resist a playful tease. "And if you think about shedding pounds now, what do you reckon you'll look like when
your belly gets even bigger?"
Nydia, puzzled, asked, "Like what?"
"Thin all over but with a big belly? You'll look just like a praying mantis!" Evadne couldn't help but chuckle at her
own joke.
Nydia's cheeks flushed with embarrassment and annoyance. "Sis, that's not funny..."
"Alright, alright, I'll stop," Evadne said, wrapping an arm around her sister in a comforting hug. "Every girl wants

moment. The other day, | caught him mooning over your photos like a lovesick puppy. He's head over heels for
you."
Nydia's cheeks turned even redder, if possible. "Sis..."
"Guess what? Jason's officially asked Emeric for your hand," Evadne continued, a smile of contentment on her
face. "He laid all his cards on the table, even handed over his paycheck to Emeric. And you know what Dad said?
'I'm getting the short end of the stick here! My daughter's marrying you, and I'll have to promote you and
increase your salary, not to mention the dowry that's practically a fortune. I'm at a total loss here!" But he was so
happy, he couldn't stop smiling after Jason left."
Nydia giggled, then her face clouded with worry. "But... Dad's okay with Jason, right?"
"Over the moon! After Jason left, Dad couldn't help but sneak in a few smiles here and there. Trying to play it
cool, that's all."
Evadne sighed softly, her gaze becoming misty. "Dad's not as strong as he used to be. He's never rushed us, but
I know how much he yearns to see his grandchildren. So, Nydia, you've got nothing to worry about. You are our
precious gem. You and Jason will have a beautiful family, and we'll always be here to protect you."

Nydia bit her lip, feeling a surge of emotion. She wanted to say more but held back, fearing she might upset her
sister.
"Nydia, | know what you're thinking. Don't worry about me. I'm fine," Evadne reassured her, gently caressing her
sister's belly with a tender look. "Having you and Darcy in my life is more than enough for me."
Just then, Evadne's phone rang. She picked it up from the bedside table, and Arnold's nflashed on the
screen.
She knew Arnold had gone to confront the Chambers Group today, but she didn't harbor much hope. With
someone as cunning as Avery at the helm, any incriminating evidence would have been long gone. Still, an
investigation into the Chambers Group spelled trouble, no matter the outcome.
"Arnold," Evadne answered, her tone casual, "Callingin such a hurry, did you actually find evidence of
Avery's corruption?"
"No evidence of corruption," Arnold took a deep breath, his voice suddenly stern. "But, evidence of something
much darker. Murder."
