Chapter 525

When Leanna arrived at the studio, Zoe was standing at the entrance with an ashen face, seeming like she was about to puke.

Leanna went over and gently patted her back. “Zoe, are you alright?”

Turning to look at Leanna, Zoe replied breathlessly, “Nana, you came. I’m fine. I’m already used to it.”

“Let’s head inside.”

After entering the studio, Leanna poured Zoe a cup of water and asked, “Have you been throwing up a lot these days?”

While Zoe was plopping onto the table, she nodded lightly. “I can’t seem to keep food down either. I would throw up after eating.” After saying that, she heaved a long sigh. “I finally know how you felt when you were pregnant. This is torturing. I don’t want to have any children after this.”

Chuckling, Leanna sat opposite her. “It’s only difficult during the beginning of your pregnancy. Once your belly starts to grow, your experience will become more astonishing.”

Zoe picked up the cup and drank a few sips. “Forget it. I’ll never feel anything astonishing about this. My only wish is to get past these six months as quickly as possible. The sooner this ends, the better.”

Leanna hesitated for a while before asking, “Have you… told Daniel?”

“Of course, but he says he needs to think about it. Maybe he’s too shaken up by this.” Zoe continued, “You know. Men don’t like to be straightforward. We’re all adults, so I know what he means by that. Once the six months are up, this matter will come to an end.”

Hearing that, Leanna lightly pursed her lips and did not make any comments. It was a matter between Daniel and Zoe, and she did not know the whole story. It would be better to wait until the last moment before finding out what would happen next.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Zoe asked, “Did you come to the studio cos there’s nothing to do at Crossley Group?”

Nodding, Leanna replied, “The project has been officially launched, and things are currently going smoothly, but I don’t understand much about business matters, so Freddie is helping me.”
