Chapter 229
Grace did not suspect Ava because she felt Ava had no motive, but on second thought, Ava liked Brian and had always wanted to replace Louise as Brian’s fiancée. If she were pregnant with Brian’s child, she would stand in Ava’s way.
Therefore, Ava wouldn’t allow Grace’s child to be born. Although Ava didn’t know if the child was really Brian’s, she wanted to nip it in the bud to prevent unforeseen circumstances. Grace suddenly sat up from the bed. She lifted the blanket and subconsciously wanted to tell Brian about this possibility.
But after thinking about it, she held back.
Brian had covered up for Louise. Ava was a member of the Adkins family after all. Grace could not expect Brian to settle scores with the Adkins family for her sake.
That was impossible.
She wasn’t that important.
At the thought of that, Grace’s heart turned cold. She returned to the bed and lay down again. She looked at the ceiling and thought about what to do next. Brian was here. She could not fight him head-on.
Just as he had said, she would never be able to snatch the child away from him. No matter what, she could not let him take the child for a paternity test.
Grace rubbed her stomach. It was almost eleven o’clock, but the child in her stomach was restless and kept moving.
Grace did not know if it was because she was agitated today or because she had frightened the child when she spoke loudly to Brian just now.
Since she was outside, the child had been moving non-stop in her stomach.
Grace did not fall asleep until late at night.
When she woke up the next day, she washed up and walked out of the room. Suddenly, she caught the aroma of eggs.
Someone was cooking in the kitchen, and Brian was nowhere to be seen in the living room.
Grace could not believe the man who had put pasta in cold water in the pan yesterday would know how to fry eggs this morning.
She walked into the kitchen and saw Brian frying eggs.
He picked up a cup, filled it with water, and poured it into the pan. He looked at it for a while. As if he had thought about it and decided there wasn’t enough water, he added a little more water, then closed the lid. He turned around and saw Grace.
“You’re up?”
Grace glanced at him, wrapped her clothes around herself, and returned to the living room. About fifteen minutes later, Brian came out with two plates of fragrant spaghetti with eggs. “Come and have breakfast.”
Grace was not pretentious. She sat over and picked up a fork to eat.
The spaghetti’s texture and the eggs’ temperature were well controlled.
Brian looked at Grace expectantly. “How is it?”
Grace nodded. “Yes, you’ve improved a lot.”
Brian smiled. “Of course. I learn everything very quickly.”
Grace glanced at him and sneered before continuing to eat her spaghetti.
After eating the spaghetti, Brian took it upon himself to wash the plates.
Grace had already changed into a down jacket. Brian asked, “Where are you going?” “I’m going to buy groceries.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Grace had already known that Brian would say that. She was not surprised at all.
She walked out of the house first. Brian hurriedly took off his apron and followed her out.
Grace treated him as invisible. She pressed the button to close the door the moment she entered the elevator. Brian chased after her and blocked the door with his hand. He glared at her fiercely. Brian’s car was parked at the side of the road. He walked to the door and opened the passenger seat. “Get in.”
However, Grace ignored him and walked straight ahead.
The market was actually quite far from here, about 0.6 miles away. However, the doctor said that if she wanted to have a smooth delivery, she had to exercise and walk more.
