Zoey’s smile froze for a moment, her new nails pressed into the leather seat.
But she kept the smile on her face. “Yes.”
Neither of them spoke after that.

As soon as they arrived at the Taylor family estate, Zoey didn’t dare to ask Elijah to stay. She simply said. goodbye and got out of the car as if she were escaping.
Elijah didn’t stay either and left right away.
Maybe the pressure was too overwhelming. Zoey felt weak all over, and her stomach started to churn again.
She pushed away the maid who tried to hold up her dress and rushed into the bathroom to vomit. At that moment, Milena’s car pulled up at the entrance. As soon as she got out, a maid ran over. “Miss Milena, Miss Zoey seems to have eaten something bad. She’s been throwing up non–stop.” “I’ll go take a look” As Milena walked, she instructed, “Go prepare some sobering drink.” She assumed Zoey had drunk too much at the banquet.
As she reached the bathroom door, she heard the sound of retching, making her pause for a moment. “What happened?” she asked quickly.
I’m fine. Zoey turned on the tap and rinsed her mouth and face.
In the mirror, Milena was full of smiles.
“Zoey, are you pregnant?”
Zoey’s hand froze, her face turning pale.
But Milena clapped her hands excitedly. “Oh my! This is wonderful! If you’re pregnant. Elijah will have to marry you right away. Then you won’t have to worry about Eleanor at all!”
She imagined a bright future.
But Zoey’s face suddenly changed, and she raised her voice to interrupt, “Don’t talk nonsense! I’m not
pregnant!”
With that, she turned and walked upstairs.
Milena followed closely behind, matching her pace. “Are you stupid? This is a good thing! Don’t you want to secure your place by having Elijah’s child and marry him sooner?”
Zoey stopped in her tracks. Of course, she wanted to marry him.
But she didn’t know if Elijah wanted to.
“Mom, I already said I’m not pregnant. Stop making things up, or people will laugh at us if they hear.”

Zoey went back to her room. As soon as she lay on her bed, she grabbed her phone and opened her period tracking app.
It showed she was already eight days late.
She flipped through the pages in disbelief. She had been on time for the past few months, except this
month.
She began to recall. Could it be the time Elijah came to the apartment to look for me last month?
She shook her head. No, impossible. How could it happen after just one time?
She quickly asked the maid to bring up some warm water. Maybe she was just too exhausted lately, and that’s why it was delayed.
When Eleanor walked into the office the next day, she saw Haven packing up her things.
Although she was dressed in a luxury brand she had never worn before and wore delicate makeup, she still couldn’t hide her exhaustion.
Nearby, colleagues whispered to each other. “I heard she was dumped by Ms. Whitney’s husband. He even went to see Ms. Whitney in the middle of the night, begging to get back together, but she kicked him out.”
“Ms. Whitney is still a CEO without a husband. But what is she without him? She even tried playing undercover, and in the end, she just ruined herself.”
The colleagues had no respect for Haven, so they didn’t bother lowering their voices.
Hearing their words, Haven clutched her belongings and shouted, “What am I? I’m about to marry into a wealthy family! You laborers can take your time.”
Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy.
Eleanor felt nothing about the scene. After all, Haven had brought this upon herself.
As Eleanor lowered her head to focus on work, she happened to see Zoey sitting on the other side.
Zoey was covering her mouth as if she was feeling unwell. Then, when no one was paying attention, she quietly got up and left her seat.
Eleanor found it strange and was about to take a closer look when her phone vibrated.
“I’ll be home tomorrow. Are you coming over?”
“Yes,
“Then I’ll make your favorite dishes. Come early and keep me company.
“Okay”
Eleanor smiled at the message. She planned to take advantage of her day off tomorrow to go to the Davis family’s house and move the rest of her things to her apartment.

The next day.
Eleanor went to the market carl
in the morning, buying snacks that both Lily and Logan loved.
Although the Davis family had a chef, the most authentic snacks still came from street stalls.
As she entered, she happened to encounter Monica, who looked pale, walking alone toward the garage..
A nearby servant mentioned that Jaxen was on a business trip, so she had to go to the hospital for a follow- up checkup by herself despite being unwell.
At the thought of Jaxen, Eleanor’s heart was filled with guilt.
She stepped forward to support Monica. “Monica, I’ll accompany you to the hospital.”
“Thank you,” Monica said gratefully with a smile.
On the way, Eleanor sent a message to Lily to inform her.
When they arrived at the hospital, Monica said the front entrance was too crowded and noisy, so she led Eleanor through a side entrance of the building.
