Chapter 1513 Matchmaking
After saying that, Tessa turned to leave.
On the way back to the restaurant, she couldn't help thinking that something was strange.
The more she thought about it, the more she realized that things did not add up.
When Mona first arrived at Southend, she did not show any symptoms of having trouble
acclimatizing from her travels.
Wait a minute... Tessa abruptly stopped in her tracks. Mona's reaction earlier is similar to
the morning sickness I experienced during my previous pregnancy. Could it be...
Her expression changed slightly at the thought, then she hastily returned to Mona's room
and knocked on the door.
It did not take long before the door opened. Mona seemed surprised to see Tessa standing
outside the door.
"What's wrong?" She glanced at Tessa quizzically.
Tessa did not respond immediately, choosing instead to enter the room with Mona in tow.
When they were securely inside the room, she settled Mona on the couch and questioned
sternly, "Mona, tell me honestly. Are you pregnant?"
Mona's expression stiffened at the question.
Seeing the change in Mona's expression, Tessa immediately understood the situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe pressed onward, "Is Edward the father?"
The question made Mona stiffen in shock. She stared at Tessa in astonishment. "How did
you know?"
"That's because Edward asked me about you a few days ago." Tessa did not conceal the
truth and provided an analysis of the situation back then. "Although he said nothing at the
time, based on my understanding of his character, he would not ask about somebody for
no reason. Something must have happened."
Mona fell silent, not knowing what to say. After some time, she finally pursed her lips and
admitted the truth. "You're right. It's his child."
"So, he took advantage of you that night?" Tessa's expression became grim and stern.
Although she did not believe Edward was that kind of person, she couldn't help assuming
the worst due to the situation before her.
Knowing that her best friend was misunderstanding the situation, Mona quickly shook her
head and denied those accusations. "He did not take advantage of me. It was me... In any
case, it was an accident."
Tessa could tell that her best friend was not willing to talk about the incident, so she did
not ask for more information.
"What are your plans now? What do you think of this child? You have not told Edward
about your pregnancy, have you?" She fired a barrage of questions, but she couldn't help
feeling curious about what happened between them that night.
Judging by her best friend's tone, it would seem that her best friend was the one who
pushed Edward down. Be that as it may, she did not believe that was possible.
It had to be said that Edward was very skilled in martial arts. Under normal circumstances,
he would have no trouble dealing with ten opponents on his own.
Besides, he was completely sober that night.
Unfortunately, the entire incident was ultimately her best friend's private affairs. It was
not her place to question the incident, so she kept silent in the end.
Mona was oblivious to these thoughts.
After listening to Tessa's questions, she hesitated. "What happened that night was an
accident. We are adults. It's no big deal."
By the end of her statement, she seemed to have made a decision about something. Her
voice lightened considerably as a result.
Tessa frowned deeply. "So... you don't plan to inform Edward about your pregnancy, and
you plan to secretly abort the child. Is that what you're saying?"
It was evident that she did not approve of her best friend's decision.
"I can understand your feelings. But, I personally believe that, as one of the parties
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏminvolved in this incident, Edward deserves to know about the situation, even if it was just
an accident."
While Tessa was persuading Mona, a sudden idea occurred to her.
Both Mona and Edward were single. Even though they barely had contact with each other
in the past, something like that had happened between them. It could even be regarded
as fate.
I should try pushing them to get to know each other better. Let's just do it.
Tessa did not blurt out her intentions in a straightforward manner. Instead, she began
talking about Edward's strong points.
"To be honest, I think that Edward is a great guy. He's got the looks, albeit slightly inferior
to my husband. You should consider developing a new relationship with him. Besides, your
family is pestering you to attend various blind dates, no? Why don't you choose an
acquaintance instead?"
Mona was stunned. She did not expect her best friend to try and matchmake her with the
other party.
Her best friend's voice entered her ears again. "Don't be fooled by the fact that Edward is
my husband's assistant. His net worth is upwards of millions. Moreover, he is a morally
upright person. You won't find strange people loitering around him."
At this point, Mona did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Even if that's the case, he's not my type." She firmly shook her head, clearly not
interested in the notion.
