Stuck in you

Rachel failed to persuade Lea, so in the end, she agreed.

Anyway, she had heard that Alice had been forced to stay at home, so how could she come out now?

On the way to the cafe, Lea pondered about why Alice would want to meet her all of a sudden. Was Alice really afraid that she would get back together with Gregory?

She just couldn't understand why Alice was so paranoid about her relationship with Gregory, which had happened years ago, not to mention that they hadn't even been in love with each other. How could they rekindle their relationship?

Although Rachel agreed to go with her, she still secretly sent a message to Jack to inform him of their whereabouts.

She was afraid that something bad would happen, especially considering that Lea was pregnant.

When they walked up to Alice in the cafe, the latter's face changed. She hadn't expected two people to show up. However, she just glanced at Rachel before fixing her eyes on Lea, her heart filled with envy.

The first time she had met this little girl, she herself had been as beautiful as a blossoming rose.

After so many years, her face had gotten older.

But now, Lea had grown up into a beautiful woman with charming facial features.

Seeing Lea like this made Alice feel even more uneasy.

Her fear that Lea had come to take revenge grew stronger. Otherwise, how could Lea be in a relationship with Henry? It was too much of a coincidence.

Lea sat down and asked, "Why did you want to see me?"

Alice hadn't expected her to be so direct. Playing with the car keys in her hand, she said slowly, "I wanted to talk to you."

The glossy table reflected the harsh afternoon sunlight that was sweeping in from the window.

As the two of them spoke, Rachel checked her phone to see if she had received any reply from Jack. When she saw that she had not received any new messages, she frowned.

'Didn't he see my message? What's he doing?' she wondered.

Just then, the waiter walked over to the table to take their order. "Two cups of coffee, please," Alice said authoritatively.

Lea pursed her lips in displeasure, unable to believe that Alice was rude enough to order on their behalf. "No, thanks. I'm pregnant, so I shouldn't drink coffee. Just get to the point," she said impatiently.

Upon hearing Lea's words, Alice's expression changed slightly.

She suddenly stopped fidgeting with her car keys. Her eyes, which were fixed on Lea's face, slowly slid down to her belly.

Caught off guard by Alice's creepy stare, Lea shivered and couldn't help but shrink back in her chair. "Well?" she prompted.

With a stunned expression on her face, Alice asked, "You're pregnant?"
