NovelEnglishChapter 1109 Laney’s Sadness
Half an hour later, Laney arrived at a coffee house in the city square. Bag in hand, Jraced toward Laney, delighted to see
her old friend.
Laney was overjoyed, but too heavily pregnant to run. She took a few steps forward. Afraid to squeeze too hard. Jonly gave
her a gentle hug and stroked her belly.
“It’s only been a couple of weeks. How did your belly get so big?” Jchuckled. “The little guy’s growing fast. Letbe the
godmother. I want to be the first person to hug him!”

“Of course, you will be the first.” Laney laughed heartily. She then covered her mouth and apologized. “I’m sorry. I laughed too
loudly. Pregnancy seems to have stolen my manners.”
imagine what you’re like when you’re with the Harding family.”
“It’s not a big deal. It’s worth it. Con. Let’s go inside. I’ve asked Lola to order sdesserts for us.” They sauntered into the
coffee house arm in arm.
“Mrs. Larson, long tno see. I ordered tiramisu for you,” Lola said enthusiastically, placing the desserts in front of them. She
was wearing the brooch Jhad given her on her coat It shone under the warm lights.
“How do you like the brooch?” Jwiped the dessert fork carefully before handing it to Laney.
Lola brought them juice. Smiling widely, she said, “I love it, Mrs. Larson. It matches all my clothes. 1 often get compliments when
I wear it.”
“It’s just a small gift to thank you for taking care of my friend.” Smiling politely, Jgrasped Laney’s hand. Lola worked for Leo
after all, and Jneeded to be on guard around her.
There were too few desserts on the table. Laney looked up and told Lola to order schocolate mousse and cheesecakes.
“There are too many. We won’t be able to finish,” Jprotested.
“You’ve lost weight. You should eat more.” Laney pinched Janet’s cheek. The skin felt loose.
A sweet smile appeared on Janet’s face. Laney had ordered her favorite desserts. Jwas flattered that she remembered.
Holding her arm. Jleaned her head on Laney’s shoulder and said, “We haven’t seen each other for ages. We should chat
more and eat less, don’t you think? How are you doing? Has Vera been bullying you?”
Stroking her round belly, Laney smiled. “I’m doing well.” She checked Lola was far enough away and then whispered, “But Lola
has been watchingfor Leo. It could be because the baby is due soon, but it feels like the whole Harding family has been
paying close attention to me.”
“I asked about you, not the Harding family.” Jnoticed the sadness in Laney’s eyes.
“I’m fine, and I believe that everything will return to normal after the baby is born.” Laney’s eyes were gentle and calm. She
placed her hand on her belly and stroked it gently. “I’ll ask Lola to get you sdesserts for Brandon. You can give them to him
later.”
Laney was about to get up when Jstopped her. “No. Brandon is a picky eater; he will waste them,” Jsaid coldly. “And
they’re too delicious. He doesn’t deserve any of the desserts they make here.”
Stunned, Laney asked carefully, “Did he make you mad?” Javoided eye contact and clenched her fists. She tried to disguise
her anger, but Laney knew something was wrong. “Whatever it is. you can tell me.”
“I guess it’s okay to tell you,” Jsaid, pursing her lips. “Brandon and I quarreled. And I left ha few days ago.”
