Chapter 112 What a Small World
The wet clothes splashed by Cherry and the sensitive period of pregnancy caused Cynthia’s body to be
much weaker than usual. Helen picked one of the maternity clothes they had bought and let Cynthia go
to the bathroom to change.
The maternity dress was just suitable for a pregnant woman in the early stages of pregnancy like
Cynthia. Then she took the dress to the bathroom of the shopping mall.
After changing clothes in the cubicle, Cynthia heard a girl in a pink coat beside her calling on the phone
while. she was washing her hands, and the girl’s voice was impatient. “It’s not a date today at all. He
asked me out. to tell me he had been in love with a girl… He’s not bad. A handsome and gentlemanly
man. He has a good job… Yes, I kinda like him, but he doesn’t like me.”
Cynthia was not far away from the girl, and she could hear the angry female voice shouting on the
phone. “Why not fight for it? Your father managed to get you this marriage with great difficulty. He is
really an excellent man with the best looks and temper. What’s more, he made remarkable
achievements at such a young age. You have to know the opportunity seldom knocks twice.”
The woman on the other end of the phone kept harping on it, and the girl had no choice but to promise
her mother. “I know, mom. I will try my best to fight for it. But he looks very independent and decisive.
I’m afraid
his family can’t force him to do anything.”
After hanging up the phone, the girl tidied her hair and happened to meet Cynthia’s eyes when she
turned her head. Then she paused and asked, “Why are you staring at me? Is there something
wrong?”
Only then did Cynthia realize that she had unknowingly stared at the girl for a long time out of her
nosiness.
“Ah, sorry. I didn’t mean it.” She apologized quickly.
The girl, with round cheeks and round eyes, looked cute and good-tempered. Undoubtedly, she was a
much-loved girl in her family.
She smiled. “Never mind!”
After speaking, she left directly.
Cynthia smiled and shook her head, thinking of women’s curiosity about gossip. After washing her
hands,
she returned to the coffee shop where Helen and Alice were waiting.
As soon as she came out, Cynthia saw the girl in the pink coat trotting to the front of a man and saying
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwith a sweet and lovely smile, “I’m sorry, Dylan. You must be waiting for so long.”
The man in a black overcoat was straight, tall, and thin. Although Cynthia didn’t see his face, she was
sure at
a glance that he was Helen’s boyfriend, Dylan Carter.
Cynthia couldn’t help but wonder why he went shopping with that girl.
Thinking of that girl’s words just now, Cynthia couldn’t help but guess that she was Dylan’s fiancée,
making
her feel worried about Helen.
“What a small world!”
Cynthia sighed. When she looked at the positions of the two, Cynthia paused and quickly realized
Helen was
in the café not far behind them.
It would not be good if Helen saw them.
Cynthia hurriedly walked towards the coffee shop, Halfway through the walk, she saw Helen coming
out of the shop. Nerves went through her. She couldn’t let them meet each other at such a time.
Cynthia quickened her pace and almost trotted to the door of the coffee shop. She bent down, gasped
for a few quick breaths, and hurriedly pulled Helen inside.
“I’m… I’m back.”
Helen frowned, stretched out her hand to caress Cynthia’s back to ease her breathing, and blamed her.
“You’ve been in the bathroom for so long, and I was going to look for you. But you don’t have to run so
fast.
Don’t forget you are still pregnant, and the floor is slippery. Alston will not let go of Alice and me if you
accidentally get hurt.”
“Got it. Got it!” Cynthia shook her hand comfortingly. “I’m an obstetrician, and I know my condition.”
Helen snorted coldly, “Everyone who drowns can swim. I don’t think everything will go well just because
you
are an obstetrician. Are there few fractures among our orthopedic doctors?”
Alice, sipping her coffee, smiled when she heard it, and her charming eyes curled up, “Cynthia, this
time I’m
on Helen’s side.”
Cynthia smiled, “Alright. Alright. I will amble in the future, okay?”
After speaking, she glanced outside and saw Dylan and his fiancée had left. Then she was relieved.
Helen kept telling her to be careful and not pay attention to her expression, but Alice did. When Helen
went to check out, Alice grabbed Cynthia’s sleeve and asked, “What happened just now? What are you
hiding from
us?”
“What?” Cynthia pretended to be confused.
Alice snorted, “Don’t lie to me. You kept looking outside just now as if there was something perilous. To
be
honest, what happened?”
Seeing that Alice noticed it, Cynthia sighed with a stern expression, “I just met Dylan’s fiancée in the
bathroom. Dylan and his fiancée were outside the coffee shop just now. I daren’t let Helen see it.”
Alice’s charming face was full of surprise. “Dylan is… Helen’s boyfriend? Does he have a fiancée?”
Cynthia nodded. “Helen has been annoyed at this matter. This time I asked her to go shopping to relax
her. I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence that Dylan was also shopping here with his fiancée.”
“Then what’s his attitude now?” Alice asked, grabbing Cynthia’s sleeve.
Cynthia shook her head. “I don’t know. To avoid them, we need to go home now. If we meet them
outside, we must try our best to make Helen not see them. Then I’ll find a chance to follow and ask
about Dylan’s
attitude!”
Alice nodded. “No problem.”
The two wanted to say something else, but they stopped talking when Helen finished paying the bill
and
came this way.
“Where shall we go next?” Helen asked.
Winking at Alice secretly, Cynthia covered her stomach with her hands, and her delicate face twitched.
“We’ve been walking for a day, and I feel a little tired. That milk also made my stomach uncomfortable.
I want to go.
back home.”
Helen’s face tensed up, and she quickly supported her by the shoulder. “Is there something wrong with
the stomach? What did I tell you before? I told you not to run so fast, but you didn’t listen. Do you want
to go to
the hospital?”
Cynthia shook her head quickly. “Maybe I’m just tired. Taking a rest is enough.”
Alice also nodded. “I’m a little tired too. How about going back home now? We can go shopping again
when
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwe have time.”
How could Helen refuse now? She nodded and walked outside, holding Cynthia’s arm. Alice poked
Cynthia’s
arm as soon as they arrived and signaled to her. “Is it them?”
Cynthia looked and saw Dylan parking the car and the girl in pink leaning over. The two of them were
talking intimately, and now and then, the girl’s crisp laughter could be heard as if they were in love.
Cynthia’s face darkened, and Helen beside her asked, “When will the Smith family’s car come?”
Cynthia suddenly felt tense and quickly grabbed her hand to turn around. “Alice, is your car over
there?”
Alice was in a daze for a moment and nodded quickly. “Yes. I drove here alone, and that red sports car
is
mine.”
“The sports car only has seats for two people. Then you take Helen home first, okay?”
Helen frowned. “No need, Cynthia. Aren’t you feeling unwell? Let Alice drive you home first.”
Cynthia shook her head quickly. “I won’t take her car. She drives too fast, and I can’t stand it. I have
already sent a message to Greg, and he said he will arrive within five minutes.”
Cynthia and Alice pushed and pulled, finally getting Helen into the car.
She poked her head out and looked at Cynthia worriedly. “Then send me a message when you arrive
home.”
Alice sat in the driver’s seat and smiled when she saw Helen’s reaction. “Helen, don’t worry. Alston
loves
Cynthia so much. How can he let something bad happen to Cynthia?”
Only then did Helen feel relieved.
Seeing that the flamboyant red sports car gradually disappeared, Cynthia turned her head and saw
Dylan’s
car leaving too.
She waved quickly, got into a taxi, and said to the driver, “Sir, follow the car in front, and don’t lose
track.”
The driver looked at her in surprise and gossiped, “I just saw inside that car a young couple. But I tell
from your expression that… they committed adultery?”
Cynthia paused, and her face turned cold. “Yes. The man in the car is my boyfriend. I saw him with
another woman when I went shopping with my friends. Sir, you have to help me catch up with them.”
The driver was warm-hearted, and his face immediately turned serious. “Okay. Hold on to your seat.
I’m going
to drive.”
After speaking, he stepped on the accelerator and followed Dylan’s car.
