NovelEnglishHearing that, I instinctively touched my belly, "I can't be with him." Two years ago, I had already...
Foolishly let go of Gregory once.
This time, I couldn't.
Christine covered my hand, offering comfort, "You're carrying a little miracle now, and your emotions can affect the baby too. Since you've chosen to trust Gregory, try to relax, okay? Gregory will figure something out." "Yeah!" I nodded vigorously.
Seeing that I was relatively calm, Christine seemed relieved but shivered, "So, you're saying Mark has been faking it all along?" I could understand her shock.
After all this tpretending, it's hard to imagine our once gentle and refined senior having such deep, calculating thoughts.

That kind of guy, there's something off about his psyche, probably has intense possessiveness or control issues, could easily becabusive..." As Christine spoke, she suddenly laughed and pinched my cheek. "Oh, my Jane, you're just too lovable." I gave a resigned laugh. "I'd happily give you this 'charm' if I could." "NONONO." Christine crossed her arms, “I prefer the type who plays hard to get, the ones you can't even flirt with." I raised an eyebrow, "Oh, Dailey Clarkson?" With a side glance, Christine teased, "Jane, you've been picking up bad habits from Gregory." "Yeah." I agreed, "Bad company corrupts good character." Ramona woke up in the evening.
Since Christine had no urgent matters, she stayed over for dinner with us.
Gregory had messaged, saying he'd be late coming hand not to worry.
But I couldn't help it.
Seeing my mood dip, Christine quickly suggested after dinner, "Let's watch sTV." Even Ramona seemed to agree, wanting to join in, "Sounds good to me, I'll watch whatever you young folks are into." Christine turned on the TV, and before she could browse, the system automatically played a reality show.
Seeing it was "Slow Life," she was about to change it.
But I knew, one of the regular guests on "Slow Life" was her favorite.
"Let's watch, it's fine," I said.
Christine frowned, "Summer Taylor is so annoying..." -Person.
She didn't finish her sentence, suddenly interested in the scene playing out.
"You don't get it, do you? Today's fans are totally brainless." "Keep it up, and I'll replace you." "Waste of space! Bet my mom could blacklist you!" Christine couldn't help but chuckle, "This show's not bad, daring to air the dirty laundry." The TV was filled with shocked and angry comments.
Amidst them, a few delusional fans attempted weak defenses.
"The producers must be framing her!" "Definitely a editing mishap!” It was normal for fans to be in denial; after all, Summer had always been portrayed as the innocent, kind-hearted girl. Contrasted with her current bossy, fan-insulting demeanor, it was like she was a completely different person.
Checking her phone, Christine found several trending topics.

I was about to speak when my phone on the coffee table rang. Picking it up, I saw the caller answering all and smiled.
answering, "Hey, Mom.” “Jane, how could you not tellsomething this big happened?"
At first, Bella's tone sounded reproachful, but it was actually filled with concern, IEGregory hadn't told us, when were you planning to letknow?" Hearing this, I wasn't surprised.
Vista Town's power dynamics were complex, and Gregory probably m stirred the pot too much, stepping on the Taylor family's toes, hence the explanation to Herbert Taylor. I felt a bit guilty. "I'm sorry..." I guess I hadn't learned to rely on her yet, so whether it was the pregnancy or the situation with Mark, I hadn't shared it with her in time.
Thinking about it now, I realized I hadn't been the best daughter, making her find out about my life through Gregory.
Bella sighed. "Silly girl, what have you done wrong to apologize to me? It'swho's been absent from your life for too many years. If anyone should apologize, it's me."
