Chapter 139 Vincent fell silent as he thought of Tiffany. "Okay," he said finally.
Vincent ran into Kelly upon leaving Anna's room. He saw her holding an exquisite gift box-it was the skincare suitable for pregnant women that he'd bought on his business trip.

He snatched the box from her and turned to head downstairs. But when he got downstairs and opened his trunk to throw the box in, he faltered. There was already one inside. He turned to see Kelly standing by the entrance with tears in her eyes. "I bought that myself, Mr. Lewis." Vincent shut the trunk and walked over to her. "Why did you buy this?" "I've used up my skincare, so-" "I was asking why you had to buy this set! This is for pregnant women!" Something occurred to Vincent. His gaze landed on Kelly's belly. "Are you pregnant?" She was taken aback. She'd only bought the skincare set to make herself feel better. Since Vincent hadn't bought anything for her, she would buy it herself. What right did Tiffany have to get something she didn't have? She was Vincent's fiancée! His question reminded her of Tiffany's baby. Kelly couldn't help thinking that everything would be perfect if she'd been the one in Vincent's tent that night. She would be the one pregnant. She'd be able to win Vincent's heart once she had his child.
Kelly could buy herself a set of everything that he bought for Tiffany. But a child... That wasn't something she could just get.
At her silence, Vincent pulled out his phone to call Jacob.
Kelly could only say, "No, I'm not pregnant just heard from a friend that this skincare line is gentle and soothing. That's why I bought it to try it out. I didn't know you bought it, too. Did you... get it for me?" "No." Vincent was obviously relieved. "I got it for a friend." "Oh." A trace of disappointment flitted past Kelly's eyes.
He returned the skincare set to her. "Get srest." Then, he walked past her and left. She turned to watch him leave. Gritting her teeth, she told herself she had to devise a plan as soon as possible.
During lunch break, Alex asked Tiffany to head downstairs with him to collect sfiles. But the elevator brought them straight to the basement parking lot.

"They're in the car." Alex walked over to his car and opened the trunk.m Then, he pulled out an exquisite-looking box and handed it to her. There was a logo on the box. Tiffany was taken aback when she saw it. "What's this?" "A gift from our business partner. It's not like I can use it, so you can have it."
"I can't take something when I haven't done anything to deserve it." Tiffany returned the box to him. "This e is much too expensive. I can't take it." Alex scratched his head, looking troubled. "If you refuse to take it, I'll get in trouble." "Huh?" She didn't understand him.
He explained, "You know how expensive this is, don't you? I'll have to throw it away if you don't take it. That'd be such a waste, wouldn't it? The heavens will punish us for wasting this!"
