GoodReadChapter 181 Chapter 181 I went to see Lena, and luckily, she was home.
+25 US you "What was with the late-night call? I was wiped after getting off the operating table and didn't call back. Were you sick or something?" Lena asked, only just remembering the missed call as soon as she saw me.
I kicked off my shoes and wandered across the carpet. If I was really sick, I'd probably be dead by now." She wrapped an arm around my shoulders. "What's up? You mad?" "Nah, I know you're busy. It was nothing, really," I said, deciding not to bring up Hayden being sick.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLena wasn't buying it. "You don't callin the middle of the night for nothing." "It was about Hayden," I finally admitted. I didn't want her thinking it was something worse.
She handedhalf of the watermelon juice she'd just made. "He's a catch. If you don't lock him down, you'll regret it for life." My mind was still spinning from Jace. I took a sip of the juice. "Jace and I are officially done." Lena scoffed. "Weren't you two done forever ago?" I stared at a random spot. "This time, it's for real." Lena picked up on my mood and clinked her glass against mine. "Congrats!" The word madelaugh. "Jace was good to you, you know. Why are you like this?" "No matter how good he was to me, if he wasn't good to you, what's the point?" Lena said, proving yet again why she was my ride-or-die. "Con, forget about him. Drink your juice, and then we'll go grab sgood food," Lena said, raising her glass for another toast. "I'm not in the mood." I turned her down.
But Lena wasn't having it. She still draggedout the door. "After we eat, we're going bar-hopping to check out shot guys." Out of her white coat, Lena turned into a full-on city girl. You couldn't find a better example of "don't judge a book by its cover" than her.
She said a new French restaurant had opened, and she was takingthere for foie gras. And as luck would have it, the restaurant was right next to the cafe where Tanya wanted to meet. Before I even got out of the car, I spotted Tanya through the window. She was staring off into space, looking kind of... lost.
Honestly, she looked a little pathetic.
It had been two hours since she called and texted me. Guess she wasn't bluffing about waiting. Thinking about her last message, where she said she had something important to tell me, my curiosity +25 BONUS Chapter 181 started winning out. Plus, if she kept sitting there, I knew I wouldn't be able to enjoy my meal.
I nodded toward the café. "I'm gonna go talk to her. You go ahead and order." "Go for it," Lena said, not stopping me.
She knew Tanya was pregnant, and in Lena's eyes, no matter how messy things got with the adults, the kid didn't deserve to be dragged into it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen I sat down in front of Tanya, she blinked like she hadn't expectedto actually show up.
"Didn't think you were coming," she said with a touch of sarcasm.
"I'm here for the sake of the baby." I replied bluntly.
Tanya gave a bitter smile. "Sit down. You want something? Coffee or-" "No, thanks. Just get to the point-I've got dinner plans," I cut her off.
Tanya's expression turned a little awkward. She was trying hard to seem calm and collected, like m someone totally content with life, but E the strained smile on her face gave her away. "Alright, what did you want to talk about? Is this about Jace?" I asked, cutting straight to the chase.
Tanya lowered her head and glanced at her belly. After a morgent, shen looked back up at me. "Keira, do Jace's parents like kids?"
I blinked, caught off guard, trying to figure out where this was going. Then she added Do you think they'd accept the child I'm carrying?"
